  1. No magnet involved. It was your man musk that had Miss Moose Knuckle approach our cars in the pits at NJMP. After she was disappointed with me, realizing the error of her ways, she moved on to you. Your car never ran properly ever again. I suspect both of us were mentally scarred being confronted eye level by that thing, I mean the sidewalls on my tires are smaller.

  3. Shoes not going. I took them off in the loft and dropped them downstairs to put away in my driving kit storage. I was too lazy to walk down and walk back up.
  4. it’s been a long time since I rented from here but touring Scotland is one of life’s pleasures, second after warming up on the single malt whisky 🥃 in the evenings. How are the midges (or whatever they call those blood sucking monster bugs) that eat you alive?
  5. That’s been done elsewhere on this site over the years. Simple search would discover it. I don’t have time these days to do it multiple times sorry. Anyway, some people prefer to learn the hard way 😛 No - new owner will likely not make the trip to NJ. He’s a busy guy.
  6. Packing up all the kit to go with my CSR to the new owner. CSRs went through three iterations so most of this kit will not fit the later or earlier CSR model. Plus my later one has been upgraded for the higher hp. Everything laid out on top of the Mustang or next to it.

  8. Transmission was replaced last year so thats ok. It never had questionable tires - they were always good. I put myself into a coma with questionable tires back in the 90s - never again - learned that lesson. Simon and I did 1min21.3 on Thunderbolt yesterday playing tag - me driving the Kato.
  9. Now if you ever drive fast one day a few years from now you will discovered that bugs commit hara kiri on visors. Since I like to see, that gunk is brilliant for non smearing buggy shit everywhere.

  11. Oh no I have Cat. Specifically something that is actively trying to kill me. Not sure which year Bruce is planning to test the CSR in July….
  12. 1. Yes. Many times. 2. no. But my switch accidentally fell off the car on purpose last week so it will not bother me again. I have not been upside down in cars since the 90s so I am safe. Hold my beer….
  13. I think you need to give this some more thought. How would you make it “vertical” any more than it is already?
  14. @BruceBe any comments re KatKong?

  16. Mine were wet sump with baffling - Raceline pan. If you want to try give it a go but keep close watch on the oil pressure gauge and adjust your driving accordingly. Long rights do have a tendency to force oil into combustion and you end up with a smoke screen out the back as you add throttle back for a straight - no harm unless you are following and getting second hand smoke.
  17. Oil is heating from heat soak - 36C ambient is enough for that (you did mean celsius and no fahreheit?). 5W30 is pretty thin - I use it in my cars. You have lubrication but its getting pretty thin. I've always preferred a semi-synth for this reason - it stays slightly heavier under temps. Thats why the pressure looks low - I have had two SVT Zetecs- both did the same. Don't be too alarmed. A slightly heavier weight oil is not a bad idea. Never do any track work without a dry sump on these Zetecs - longer corners are a killer for loading oil in the wrong spots of the engine. Autocross is fine. However, check your thermostat. You should not be overheating, even with those ambient temps. I thought the SVT Zetec used a 95C thermostat? Was fan cutting in and operating? Maybe it was just too ambient hot to get enough airflow? If so then maybe add a manual fan override switch for those autocross days? There is something happening that I would be checking out.

  19. On 15 inch wheels do: front 19psi cold rear 20psi cold I think the CSR owners manual is a single psi off that. Experiment but you are aiming for about 25psi once tire is up to hot temps. If you ever go 13 inch wheels then it’s: front 18psi cold rear 19psi cold I'm not a fan of the R888R. After a few sessions you will find they go off and start to understeer like a pig.
  20. Its the same. I don't need a funnel. Just put nozzle in. Twist to left slightly and pump in at half speed. Just need to be patient.
  21. Given I have owned a CSR for 15+ years, I have made it a point of collecting technical information over the years to help me. It has been pulled together from other owners of CSRs I know globally. All of that gets put in the library for sharing.
  22. Stick to 93 octane. I know the standard ECU map is stupidly rich but it will start to knock on 91. You can get away with a blend 91/93 but why would you unless it is an emergency (e.g. no other option while touring). @pethier I think you bought Darren's CSR out of San Francisco? I'm not sure that received a standard map when the second Cosworth went in? (from my admittedly fuzzy recollection). If I was you I would assume you need 93 all the time. Its a Cosworth engine so you have to treat it well - one of my favorite engines of all time.
  23. Its not exactly a 620 despite the label. Actually a 700S..... #faaaaaarkitsquick #gripchallenged
