Let me start off by saying this car has ballzzz.
I've never seen so much get up and go. My auto zetec is a snoozer next to this thing (not much of a surprise to me).
It sounded like a race car, which lead me to thing something wrong with this thing. It sounded like a bad muffler or something that needed exaust work. So I look over at the dash, wondering if the CEL is on. Yep. It makes me wonder sometimes how often so people will drive for months or even years with their CEL on and not let it bother them. The minute mine went on the first time I practically freaked out. After this experience I really want to know how to drive a stick. I joked and said how I wanted to get a 5 spd. zetec for practice. He just laughed and said he didn't even know how to drive a stick before he started driving it.

Yep I want one too, but I need to learn standard first. I seen a T-Red CSVT the other day and I loved it. I pointed it out to my dad and he says that's a nice car.

Even since I started modding my car mechanically, I've had a CEL. Right now its as simples as a P0141 - o2 circuit malfuction. Most the time there are BS codes like that.

My first car was a manual, Mustang 5.0. Learning in that car was fun but hard at the same time. The clutch is so heavy compared to most cars.

If you have a mileliminator in Bank 1 (firewall side), the connector probably came out.

They taught us how to drive a manual in drivers ed. After my class they stopped for some reason, probably too many burned out clutches.
