Try swapping the mil eliminator from one side to the other and see if the code follows.

Why dont you just get a tune that turns the rear O2's off?

Cause that's money that I don't know where to reputably spend...also I have the MILs so it's alright I guess...also I live in CA...so I think if I kept them off I'd get fvcked when I go to smog the car (which I'll be doing in a couple months)

Thank you good sir! It was hard the come by a real set of FR500s, I want the rear to be lower and the 35% profile made the wheel gap bigger than what I wanted so now it's a race *pun intended* to get a new set of 275 40 18s up front and back. My front wheel gap I could only stick 1 finger in it now I can fit 2...

I would recommend Michelin Pilot Super Sports. But damn, they are way expensive in 275 40 18s vs. my 245 45 17. Best tire I've used. Even in this rain.

My brother wants me to get them. I may. It's either those or bfgoodrich which I think I'm getting those. If you're a scca member you should go up to thunderhill with me on the 31st assuming you're not out of town. I'm gonna get some more track time in before the start of next year

Nice one! But I have tickets to see a show - Hepcat at Slim's for New Years Eve.

If I'm not mistaken, GGLC runs Laguna Seca in February and I'll probably do that one. I'll let you know the details once the event is confirmed. Don't need a membership to run with GGLC.

So I fixed some issues with the Mare today. One of my o2 sensors had a wire cut up from it constantly dragging on the ground. Luckily my MIL didn't get too destroyed but still messed up. I re-wrapped everything while putting in the new sensor. Also I found out my driver side dust shields was damaged enough to the point that it was rattling while I drove so I'll need to pick up a new one but until then I only have the bottom half...lol

You know it means "Good in bed".

That p0136 is another O2 code right? Ill go with my same troubleshooting advice and say swap the eliminators from one side to the other and see if the same code comes up. If it follows the harness you know its bad.

Hey buddy, happy new year. Hope this rain ain't got you down. Haven't seen any updates on the Stealth Mare in a while.

Anyway, GGLC has posted the dates for upcoming track days.
http://www.gglotus.org/trkdays/ggtrkday.htm

Feb 24 Friday - Laguna Seca
May 3 Weds - Thunderhill
July 17 Monday - Laguna Seca
Oct 2 Monday - Thunderhill
Nov 1 Weds - Laguna Seca

I want to try to do at least 3 events this year. I still need to swap out my springs from the Pro Kits to Ford Racing Cs. Other than that, basic maintenance like fluid, filter, etc. and I should be set. Looking forward to getting you on board, being a fellow Mustang driver/wrencher and all. My friend who introduced me to the track drives a Porsche and has a shop work on his car, so not really on the same wavelength. Still a good guy though.

Let's do this!

Dude, I never had good luck with those eliminators, Ford only runs 2 upstream ones possibly for that reason. You should be able to have a tuner turn them off.

When the time comes to get a tune for my car ill probably do that. Also when that time comes the car most likely wont be street legal, it already isnt, because ill have it non op amd only used on the track
