Not sure, for Mobil 1 it's a bit counterintuitive for me based on ZDDP & actual wear pressure. From the other list I referenced:
3. 5W30 Mobil 1, API SN = 105,875 psi
zinc = 801 ppm
phos = 842...
I've been wanting to do some updated researching of engine oils for use in the DMC. Lots of info & mis-info/wives tales & the like on the internet. It makes it hard to be confident of anything....
David, I use Google Maps. It works really well for directions, shows current traffic, & also suggests route recalculations based on traffic conditions. Google also owns the Waze app which pretty much...
The easiest way to change the angle drive. With a 1-1/4" combination wrench (or the correct size 32mm metric), put it on the angle drive nut with the wrench extending out the FRONT side of the...
Welcome, Farrar. The DMA holds most events in eastern PA & NJ since it has the concentration of owners in the region. Your new location should allow you to hit a number of events within a 1-3 hour...
Out of all the jobs I've done on my car (& it's been a lot!), this was the job that cause me to cuss & throw things more than anything else. Aside from getting tools at an angle to be effective, I...

Depending on the shop & the paint brands they use, the $500-$1000 range is what could be expected for BOTH bumpers, strip, sand, & paint.
With the rears on rams, I've jacked the front (jack centered under the front cross-member) up so the car is level to torque the TABs. Just a thought if you're rather do it yourself rather than asking...
Or you have a couple lines swapped. Post a pic of the right side of your fuel distributor & the frequency valve (all in 1 pic so we can verify the routing)
Playing devil's advocate, would any of you saying Jonathan is over reacting like having people driving up to your GATED property & taking pictures of your stuff?
Just saying....
That said,...
OK, knowing you have a non-combined exhaust helps. From the PC, it does sort of sound like your left side may have a miss, but I can tell exactly in the video.
My exhaust is like stock with a 1...
Tell us a little about the engine. Is it stock or does it have cams (i.e. Stage 2 engine)? If it has cams, that sounds normal from what I can tell in the sound coming out of my PC.
Sounds like...
Good news is they can paint the black right over top of the grey. That's how they did mine. SEM Trim Black is what many people use, it comes in matte or high gloss, depending on what you desire. I...
Gator Grip sockets work great for this type of thing. I know Home Depot has them in the store in the tool section. Probably also at Lowes.
Think again. A few years ago, I helped a few friends part out a DMC. The windshield was cracked, so we all took turns trying to kick it out. None of us could do it. We could flex it some & 'splinter'...
Is that mini moon-roofs in the tops of the doors?
And WTF happened to that steering wheel? Is that glue from gluing on a steering wheel cover that has been removed?
The custom interior is...
There's no pic of that side of the car, but judging by the pics that he posted, none of the body panels are in usable shape. Sadly, I think the only thing salvageable on that car my be wheels, frame...
My car had rubber pieces on the front/rear of the spring to prevent rubbing with the frame. Basically rubber hose, split down the middle, & placed on the spring. These were on my stock springs & I...
I had mine break while driving about 35 mph over a railroad crossing. The rear starts to randomly "steer" since the upper & lower control links are all that's controlling the wheel. At higher speeds,...
Best I can tell from the video, it sounds like a bearing in the pulley system. Most likely 1 of the 2 idler pulleys (or both).....perhaps the bearing in the AC compressor.
Pop the AC on & see if...
For one, you can't set the CO without a dwell meter. There is no good way to get "close enough" without the right tool. They aren't terrible expensive. I use an Actron CP7677 which is a multimeter...
It could be part of a break-in thing. When I rebuilt my calipers, I recall them being a bit "sticky" the first few drives. This stiffness in the system probably relieved itself with a few good cycles...
The DMC has an odd parking brake setup, but it's easily inspectable if you pull the wheel off. Obviously the first place to start in diagnosing the problem. Since the parking brake & the normal...
I agree with Dave's advice, jack the car up & find the wheel(s) that are stuck. This is most likely the problem...then you know how extensive the problem is.
It *could* also be that your parking...
