So I finaly got around to having the exhaust finished up on the SC. Took it to a local place calld "Big Jims Extreme Automotive" they did a HORRIBLE job, honestly think I could have an UNtrained monkey do a nicer job than they did but ANYWAYS... I finaly got around to driving it and I have a few issues
1. the brakes look new... you have to psuh HARD, literaly ALL the strength I could muster up to get the brakes to work. The pedal is right up top, you just have to push teh pedal EXTREMELY hard and no matter how hard I push they suck at stopping me.
2. I am pretty sure ALL of my idiot gauges are on. I remember, Check gages, check engine, brakes, ABS ( i think), seatbelt, door ajar, FIRM ride etc... I don't think there was a single one that wasn't lit up
3. I seem to have oil coming out of my dipstick. It started smoking pretty bad and I got out ot check it. there is oil all over the strut tower, IC pipiing header etc... everythign around the dip stick is covered in oil including the dipstick tube itself. Now the P.O. of the car "relocated" the dip stick tube in order to fit the headers (modified mustang headers) and when doing so removed the mount bracket form the tube leaving a couple small holes where the bracket was tacked. I used some JB Weld on teh holes then cover about 8" of the tube with a rubber hose (it was hell getting it over the dipstick tube it was such a tight fit) then clamped the crap out of the hose as well so I do not think that is the problem. I think it is coming directly out of the end of the tube.
4. the seatbelts are all kinds of funky. the drivers side is stuck all teh way back and just clicks for a while but never actualy moves. Sunroof doesn't open either.
Other than that the car is for sure a quick XXXXXX XXXXXXX
