Re: Your Opinions Reply #30 – September 08, 2005, 05:10:01 PM Gonna be a bitch to get at those plugs again. 5.0 plus ABS = my stupid half-crippled ass layin' on top of the engine to snake my hand down there to get the back two on the driver's side again.Oh well, I want to change the plug wires to FMS 9mms soon.. be a good time to do that.. pull a wire, clean the plug, put on new wire.My plan for the O2s is to drop the H-pipe on the '88 LSC if it's still good and hammer out those cats, and try those O2 sensors on the '89. (can buy new ones if needed) So far that car has been a sanity-saver as a parts car. Clutch fan, radiator, ABS relay, alternator, even the serp. belt got scavenged. Still want to find another LSC fan to buy the body, though.. it's a shame to let a straight body like that go to waste in my front yard. (wouldn't mind keeping the engine and a couple other pieces and then just selling everything else off for $100 or something) Quote Selected

There are alot of Mark guys over there. Quote Selected

Re: Your Opinions Reply #33 – September 08, 2005, 05:49:29 PM , It would be nice to have another. They just ride so nice, but yet still handle like a sports car to a point.What part of Illinois are you headed to?The part about cleaning the fuel injectors. You might also want to make sure they are all the same rating. I changed the upper intake on my cougar and found 3 different color injectors. The car ran alot smoother and better after I put all the same in there. Quote Selected

Re: Your Opinions Reply #38 – September 08, 2005, 06:31:09 PM actually, snow is alot of fun if you take it right. As long as you take it slow and easy it is fine. I used to have a funny video of some freak snow storm (maybe less then an inch) in flordia and all of these suv's flipping over and cars just smashing into each other. It was really funny.

Re: Your Opinions Reply #39 – September 12, 2005, 11:06:44 PM About the whole twincharger deal:The max output is not 36.75 psi. 2.5 bar is 14.7 x 2.5 (or close enough, as 1 bar is equivalent to 0.99 atmoshperes of pressure), so while you're all correct in the fact that the math comes out to 36.75 psi, you forget that boost is referenced at ABOVE atmospheric pressure. In light of this, the max output would be 36.75-14.7 = 22.05, or just 22psi. That's pretty good, but definately not uncommon (as I'm sure all you 2.3 turbo guys already know). Quote Selected
