The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 4: Burnouts for Distance

I agree but it definitely appears to be contacting the outer 1/3 of the freshly turned rotors. I was thinking about using some Dykem to verify

I use a sharpie for these things. Make several vertical lines around the rotor and spin it. Should give you a sold indicator.

I am thinking it will be a beast when its completed.

That's really not a bad deal. Sure, I don't like seeing the brand X engine in it, but no doubt it will haul the mail

I know not everybody is up on the YouTube game, but this race has a serious possibility of setting a world record for number of PayPerView buys. All from a car channel on YouTube. No cable tv nonsense. The current record is like 4.7 million buys and that was the 2015 Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight. Crazy time to be a car enthusiast.

I can't get behind all the cheesy stuff those guys do, but it's working and they're living a dream so props to them.

So I took the brakes apart on the Grand Prix I previously mentioned. The Napa ceramic brake pads were definitely tapered, almost 3/16 thicker on outer edge. I was teaching him how to do a brake job, I guess I failed in teaching him to inspect the new pads. Napa exchanged them, new ones appear to be good. Will keep an eye on them. I don't believe that they wore that much it has only been approximately 250 miles since install

Looking for some recommendations on wiring solutions for the Notchback. I have thought about re-wiring the entire thing, and after watching a recent Cleetus video, I think I'm going to do it. I want to replace every wire from the headlights to the tail-lights. The entire car has to come apart anyway, so I figure it's not a bad idea.

Need recommendations on where to source my wiring and I want a switch panel that I can put in the car to control headlights, tail lights, blinkers, etc. Any suggestions?

I will have to see if I can find the info from the kit I purchased for the c10. It was reasonably priced and had everything. Nice kit.

Look into Painless wiring solutions.

Wasn't too impressed with their switch panels. Unfortunately, they don't have any wiring kits that are 85 Mustang specific (all older Stang and trucks)

I have made several over time. Buy a kit. modify it and make your own harness.

Motion Raceworks has some quality stuff

I've been using the Painless switch panel for over 15yrs and haven't had any problems with it. If you want something better, I would recommend Ron Francis wiring. They have a wide variety of kits

 

[jeffsqartan]

I'm checking out Motion Raceworks and Ron Francis to see if they have some more stuff I can use. I forgot to look for a universal harness kit from Painless, so I'll check that out, too.

Biggest thing I think I'm after is the switch panel. Cleetus just put a new panel in Ruby and I really like it. I'm sure it's expensive as all get out, but I can't even find it online.

I was out in the driveway today and some old beat up truck had a serious oil leak or something. Needed a muffler too.

Smoke is too white to be from an oil leak. Looks more like a really bad blown head gasket to me lol

Yep. I think you are correct! My bad.
