Sobo's Garage

A place for me to post stuff in regards to my cars and since the topic really doesn't belong anywhere else so I decided to make my own thread for it. Feel free to post your rides/projects or whatever, since I'll be doing the same.

My car was running pretty damn rough so I figured I'd check my sparkplugs to get a general idea of the health of my motor. Well, I found out that'll need to replace the spark plugs soon and probably my fuel injectors since the ol girl is running too lean. The spark plugs marked cylinder 4-6 are in the front of the motor which should be bank 1. If you notice they have a bit of which I believe is blowby on the spark plugs, (the dark brown marks on the porcelain.) So they'll need to be replaced, but I'm also suspecting leaking fuel injectors in the front bank because they're not ticking right. Fuel additives aimed at cleaning the fuel system and engine haven't been really successful so I'll need to swap them out. So I'll probably end up plopping some 86-88 3.5L v6 mustang injectors in there. If what I've heard/seen in my research is true, it should be a simple swap but I'll need to thoroughly make sure before I make that move.

Looks like I'll need to replace my damn water pump again it decided to start leaking again after 5,000 miles, Good thing I have a warranty!

@gabriel_true @veruc_assault I know you were asking about all my instruments so here they are! I have a few others put away somewhere and a few spare amps that weren't included. All I need is a drum set, a new bass string for the hurdy gurdy and I'm all set for a band! All the different guitars have different pickups or strings which effect the sound. The Ibanez is a seven string guitar which let's me play deeper notes which can come in handy for like metal/rock.

I ended up giving away a violin I had. I never learned to play, but I had wanted to. I gave up on the notion when I had surgery in both hands but now that my strength has returned, I would give the hurdy gurdy a go.
