What did you do to your car today?

Oh yeah I just bought a ton of stuff to do detailing. Got a new buffer, bads compound/polish, dressing, wheel cleaner, interior cleaners, etc. if anyones interested let me know!

AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaIIII LOVE MANUAL STEEEERIIING

Made a rad fan shroud out of a trash can, haha

waiting for a good day to install new rad rans, also need to find a way to tie down my battery better lol!

Got tailgated down HRD for the second night in a row. Fuckin ricers

Followed some bubba in a Stang! Funny how these guys just "show up" on your drive home!

so with the car fully warmed up, at a stop light and the engine has been idling for a bit, it seems that its idling rough, the revs begin to dip a bit, and gives a noticeable shake in the car, any thoughts of what that could be?

Dirty throttle body, dirty idle control valve ect, vacuum leak ect. Anything that makes it idle. Being a vr6 could be intake mani gaskets

It idles fine for a moment then gets rough? If so I'd clean the idle control valve first and then check for a vacuum leak if that doesn't fix it.

say for instance i stop at a light, give it 30 sec and it gets rough, ill try and get a video soon

Don't need a video, that's a fairly clear description. Clean the idle air control valve and throttle body, better yet clean the whole intake system. Then go from there if it still does it.

i think i found a leak the other day when i was looking for something, i will have to do more looking into it, and it could be a intake mani gasket, ive took it off quiet a few times, i will need to take it off again, i need to get some Valve guides and some valve stem seals, to fix my slight oil burning i have

should i clean the intake mani?

If you're gonna do top end gaskets you should clean everything!

how do you go about cleaning a intake mani?

With it on the car, you get an intake cleaner, which has pretty simple instructions on the bottle.

With it off the car, you would get an appropriate solvent and scrub away.

im no pussy, its coming off, which means i need to take the front end of the car off

Gotta replace the radiator in the Mustang. Took about 10 minutes to get the old one out. What an awesome car.

Started repairing the headlight harness and installing rally lights. Should be done this week, given I have some free time.

Took of my PS and AC belt

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bought a roll bar.

Looped the lines.

how is it? i've got an extra rack if you wanna do it properly

I love it. Although, I have no way to compare it to one done properly. This is the only car I've ever driven without power steering. The rack would have to be an NB rack! The NA and NB's mount to the subframes differently.
