I'll let you know as soon as I post the rest of the pictures that include your 10AE!
With how clean it was, that's all the people at Mazcare that put that much hard work into. My car has been with them for just under 1yr now and they have been doing great work. I don't mind at all that you popped the hood and looked around.

Wish the interior and exterior were in better shape, its in dire need of a paint job and some updating.

thank you for all the updates and pictures.

Nice numbers Masin. Congrats, you have put together a nice car there.

Allen, great pics, as usual. Can't wait to see more.

Colin - can't wait to hear your numbers. Car looks great, as is for 10AE. I hope you get to reunite with it soon. In the meantime, I'm sure Charlie will take care of it for you.

Charlie and the Mazcare team are great. Charlie even emailed me today on a holiday to let me know what was going on with my car.

Said it made over 250 rwhp at 8-9psi, however he doesn't know the exact number since he doesn't have the dyno print out in hand yet. Said that the clutch needs to be replaced it started slipping at 9psi and Mr. Kan wouldn't take it any further with the clutch issue. I guess the good news is I'm getting a stronger clutch within a week or two lol. I would much rather find out something is wrong with my car while it is being worked on, instead of it leaving me stranded somewhere.

Looks like when my father tows the car out to New Mexico to the wife I might be able to get it tuned again in El Paso with the new clutch.

I will get to play with my toy for the whole month of February before I come back over here for a year. Thanks for the well wishes and compliments.

~Colin

Sorry you didn't get to get a full tune, but it is best to get it taken care of. Good luck with it once it has the new clutch.

I want to first say thanks to Steve for coming out. Good to see everyone else who made it by Lethal. Hope everyone had a good time and would like to do it again in the future.

Colin, the FC was moving nicely along before slipping midway through the pulls. Once Charlie finishes replacing the clutch, have him bring it by the shop and we'll strap it down, monitor the A/F's and if everthing looks good we'll get you some numbers.

As far as the numbers go....remember this is a Mustang Dyno...

The silver FD made 380 @ 15.5 lbs

Maybe Steve will be in ATL for one of the holidays to visit his family. Wouldn't hurt to see if he wants to make some holiday money, if he is.

There is a chance Steve will be back around December. If people are seriously interested I can try to make it happen.
