What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
- Thread starter Rallim
- Start date
Drove it to work yesterday. Didn’t realize it but I had forgot to put the dipstick in. Figured it out when it was smoking like a freight train at a red light.
For those that don’t know, the Coyote dipstick has an o-ring that seals it. With 100+ psi oil pressure at cold start and 60+ warm cruising, so it has no issues making a huge mess without it. In addition, it turns out a sharpie is a quick, road side remedy to plug the hole.
Moral: Don’t forget to put the damn dipstick in and don’t leave home without a sharpie in your Coyote powered vehicle!

Took care of the leaks down under
Now ill start taking the top end apart
By the way I'm not real familiar with the car that much
But dose any one know if the headers had or have an exhaust tube for emissions
This car has headers not long tube or shorts
There in between

Nope, no egr on them so no ports. You might have mod lengths. Pypes and I think kooks share that design.

Spent most of the day installing winter Rim/Tire package on our SRT Durango but managed to complete one side of my new Rear tire set-up. Had to massage my Fox Body tailpioe and bend up the parking brake bracket that is attached to the steeda sway bar.
Added a 3 mm spacer too. New rear Powerstop Brakes to match the Cobra fronts, Moser wheel studs, Bullitt 10.5 Rim, and Nitto 315 tire and 1/2 RH chrome nuts.

Will retape some of the harness and make slight changes to the engine compartment
And experiment with it
Was also thinking about installing a new exhaust system all the way out with no mufflers just pipe

I replaced the straight pipes with a pair of old flowmasters, now it's bearable, but I do miss the scream that came from the straight pipes at higher RPM's. Also found out that the car has had a aluminum driveshaft put in by some previous owner, score!

That driveshaft has some scoring of its own, maybe from a loose parking break cable. I know those springy metal cable clamps are only held on by a single rivet and eventually they break free and the cables droop... along with the springy metal thingy.

I did a thing!
Had a little time to spend going forward with the new hydraulic clutch setup for this SN95. Almost there.
Cut and welded up a nice reinforced captive nut plate to go on the backside of the lower cowling so that the reservoir could securely mount (and dismount whenever it might be needed), undercoated it and JB welded it to the OEM plastic after I took these pics.
Installation was soooo much easier with the seat, pedal box, and steering wheel removed. Just need to add a hose from reservoir to the master and assemble the very nice mechanical linkage to the OEM pedal box (pics forthcoming on that probably tomorrow).

So when got this car
I was wondering why was the steering binding
The guy that owned told me it was an electrical steer problem
I'm telling my self no way
Got the car home checked it out
This was the problem and this is one reason I am removing them and going with the shorty
You can see it wore a small pin hole in the header tube
Rubbing from steer knuckle

Are you using the modern drivelines kit? I had a McLeod hydraulic clutch in my last 00 gt. It was ok, a little fabricobbled for 600 bucks though.
