Needs moar cable.

 

That's not mine. Just showing the location of the PPF ground, since Mr. Makinson asked.

 

Ah. I was about to ask how your car was even running at that point

 

Needs more PPF bolts to the diff

 

Needs moar driveshaft, too. I really can't see how that car ran at all.

 

The braided ground strap on driver side bolts to shelf. On motor side it bolts to the dipstick bracket. It's a sandwich.

 

Mmmm, sandwich...

 

That's what STH texted me. Can't believe it bolts to something so flimsy. the strap I got has a larger hole (that's what she said) so I'll probably bolt it someplace else, maybe to a bolt on the back of the head.

 

Reattaching the ground strap fixed it! Woo! Thanks gents.

 

Strap on worked for you. Good to hear.

 

Also, had first start in dad's car tonight. Wahoo. Good night.

 

See what a good strap on session will do for you?

 

Dad's car does not have the ground strap installed yet -- he lost them. :Facepalm: the joys of working with someone with Alzheimer's. ... I'm a spaz too. Haha. But it's coming together.

 

Misfire came back. Pulled the coils to replace them to see if that helped. Noticed that the plug wires don't really fit snugly onto the prong on the coils. Crimped down the end of the plug wires so they snap on to the coils properly... misfire is gone again. Hope it stays that way.

I stole the spiffy Mazdaspeed oil cap off the car that blew the engine. After my little drive last night, oil was EVERYWHERE on my valve cover. yep, the seal under the oil cap was totally brittle. That damn car... the engine must have gotten extremely hot as it blew.

MRLS is soon, guys.

 

Hey everyone, meet my Boost Buddy.

 

Link. Now.

 

Link for what? I got the little eye-popping toy at an arcade, ran a line to the IM so you'd get vacuum too because that's fun, cut a hole in the bottom of the toy and glued the line into his butt. Zip-tied the line to the wiper stalk, presto poppo.

 

Apparently there are others.

 

Well, now I'm sad.

 

There are others. Also, I saw this in a YouTube video some time ago and just finally got around to doing it.
