    Opinions on the kumho ecsta pa51

    A couple of posts about Ecstas in this recent Kumho thread, including mine. With respect to noise, I'll admit that was not a priority in that particular car (Flowmasters albeit without the drone thanks to some resonators).

    I ran a set of 225/60/15 "Ecstas" on a '66 Mustang; were still good when I sold it after six years and 15,000 miles. and had some fun track days with them as well.

    Have you ever had to replace an engine in a car?

    Personally, I have not, but the 390 in my sig was replaced in 1972 (121,xxx miles) with an "authorized Ford Remanufactured" long block. Not sure what failed; it ran but was burning oil at the rate of a quart per hundred miles. I recently found the Ford warranty card in some papers my dad left...

    Definitely annoyong I'd at least try to determine what labor is covered in the Terms & Conditions of your warranty; I've had warranty service (albeit not on automobiles) in which replacement labor was specifically NOT covered.

    Parts markup by mech

    I'm more than lucky .. my local guy prefers that I source parts (including fluids that I don't have time or confidence to change myself) trusting me to get OEM/NOS whenever possible. For him sourcing parts is a major pain.

    What was the first straight weight oil you bought?

    Valvoline SAE 30, early 70s. My dad and I used to tell each other about the prices we'd see it on sale; IIRC the lowest was about $0.38/quart (38 cents). Getting the metal spouts in snug always gave me satisfaction; ran it in the Ford in my sig..

And we ran a set on a Windstar, though replaced the car before the tires were worn (iirc - something like...
