Compression test said 120 all across. We messed with the safc today, my car was bogging around 1600rpm and leaning out so that's fixed. It idles at 12.5, cruising about 13.5 and boost about 14.
???

Sounds like you got it backwards. should be idling at 14:1 and under boost @ 12:1. 14:1 under boost sounds like a time bomb...

I totally had it backwards lol I was sticking numbers in my phone while we were out playing yesterday but didn't put notes so I went back out to double check today haha oh my.
 
whew im glad you had it backwards.. i was gonna say 14:1 dont boost.. im not even that big of a fan of 12.6:1 i feel more comfortable at about 11:1 just due to that way if you get some bad gas (which we all know happens) you have a bit of lee way. Keeps you safer.. i have been running 11:1 under boost in my 410whp focus daily for about 1.5 years with no problems.. but earlier i had my af ratio hit a 14:1 and it threw 2 rods out the side of the block..lol.. and bent the other 2...
 
Pink is awesome ;) ^^

I snagged the shiftknob off ebay, I just searched pink shiftknob lol

This is a shot of the wink in my del sol. I have one in all of my cars, you pretty much don't even need side mirrors with them because you can see everything. I don't even need to turn my head to check the other lane before moving over. It makes driving that much more fun.

I love the thread. Have you thought about maybe putting a red lip on ur rims?
Considered it for a second but they are just cheap Nippons so I probably won't mess with it lol plan on getting a nicer set of wheels for dailys.

Not really. In the del sol I have the back glass tinted pretty dark because the car is so low I get blinded as it is.


Drove up to St. Louis last night and picked up some stock seats and a steering wheel so I can get rid of all the red interior crap for the time being. I'll eventually replace with something nicer but I'm trying to get some little stuff out of the way....like I really really need coilovers because the shock/spring combo isn't cutting it for me lol I'll take some interior pics in a bit.

Well....it rained today so I didn't get the seats in yet. And I slid around a corner into a curb so now I need a new bumper lol oops


Edit: went out to asses the damage and was pretty amazed lol I ripped the bumper off and completely ran it over and there isn't a crack in it, just one small crack in the lip that I can repair haha
