Ahh the racing bug... There is a driver ed event that will be held on the track at Mosport August 31/Sept 1. It's a bit odd because it is a Monday & Tuesday...
As you've no doubt already seen this is a slow list. I think many people are still subscribed just because we've forgotten how to unsubscribe! There are a...
Thanks for the feedback George. I'm looking in to the recommendations you've made with regards to the driving schools. Unfortunately the Ian Law autoslalom...
Ok, that looks interesting. Any reason that an 85 mustang wouldn't be appropriate? I have never done a track day before. Other than a car certified helmet,...
It usually doesn't matter what car you use at most schools. In fact, go rent some skinny-tired econobox that you know will run, won't overheat, and eat up gas...

CC is a great list and resource, provided you can get pass the pompous attitudes of its senior membership or it seems many years ago. Oh one last thing, spell...
For the most part, as long as the car would pass a safety inspection, it would be fine for a track day. Many people drive their car to the event, participate,...
Excellent. Thanks Gene! Tires are relatively new....so they should be fine. jimmy ________________________________ From: Gene Beaird <bgbeaird@...>...
Thanks Richard, Good advice re car capability vs driver capability. Years ago I did some autocross with my 914. I had a blast, and one of the best lessons...
Very very helpful. I did bleed all of the brake lines last weekend, nice fresh fluid in there now. I'll order a set of the Hawk pads, I am sure what is on...
Great checklist. Anyone have tips on where to by a SNELL Rating 2000 or 2005, SA or M helmet either online or in south west Ontario for a fair price? ...
Best route would be to purchase a wrecked donor. If you can't located one, the best bang for the buck is to locate a pre-94 Lincoln MkVII LSC. The AOD is an...
Hi Scott, Nope, not a lot of traffic here, but everyone is helpful! I got the book by Mathis, pretty useful as you say. I'll sign up for corner carvers as...
hit up Darius Rudis. www.dariusrudis.com he's a longtime member here and longtime mustang tracker. and is/was a Simpson helmet dealer. I got my sa2005 from...
hi jim, through no fault of your own, you've come at this at an awkward time. most of us who still track our mustangs have discovered, debated, and fixed the...
The 86 Mustang that's in many of the autocross prep pictures of that book is still being driven in C Prepared in the Houston Region. It's under new ...

imoho, griggs stuff is a little lighter/racier, but is rumored to have been "developed" over years, more than engineered. mm stuff is a wee bit heavier, maybe...
Aloha all- Since Canada Jim has caused some of us to wake, I'll throw one out there ... 90 Mustang Stock 5.0 Long Block ~150k miles On 4 *hot* occasions ... 2...
Engine control module? Not sure if it was still an issue on 90's Fords, but that exact symptom is what we used to see in the 70's-80's Fords. Module heats up...

Inertia switch acting up and cutting out fuel pump? Bad fuel pump relay? Acts up when hot? ________________________________ From: rflowers65...
It could be any of the above, plus the pump itself and the wiring harness. (Bad, intermittant connections can get worse when hot.) I'd break out the...
The easy thing about most of these suggestions is that nearly all of them are easily testable with a simple jumper to bypass all the circuits in question. ...
on those occasions, did you hear the fuel pump relay clicking? next time it happens, use a jumper wire between the power connections to run the pump. if the...
I had the same exact thing happen to my '86 way back when, around the same mileage too. For whatever reason, the combination of worn components and heat caused...
I had the same issue with my 86. If the tank was full everything was fine. Once the level dropped and I drove for at least an hour the car would shut down and...

I third the bad fuel pump idea....not out of personal experience, but from what I've "heard." I personally experienced the bad ignition module problem....
Thanks everyone! Feel free to keep the ideas coming. Since I've owned the car for 17+ years, I have an extra historical perspective. Fwiw, I was initially...
