What have you done to your mustang today?

Washed it so I probably screwed up the clear forecast.

Whippled!!! Whipple 2.3L HO kit installed. Ordered the IAT relocation kit so will need to do that and swapping over gears from 4.10's to 3.55's as well.

Ordered my first Lito tune. Getting my FRPP timing kit and Hot Rods installed soon.

Got mine washed and almost completely cleaned before a headache made me lie down. I'll have to get it waxed tomorrow.

My wife got me a light tint kit for my b-day a few weeks ago, finally got around to putting it on today

Spent some quality time at the track

Washed it really well.
Vacuumed it really well.
Traded it in.

Picked up some OEM 2010 19x9.5 GT500 wheels and ordered some tires for them. Tires should be here tomorrow and I'm going to try to put everything on Saturday. The wheels aren't in perfect shape, but they were a damn good deal.

Congrats, at least the one in the pic looks good.

Thanks. Was time for a change. Loved that Mustang honestly. This pales in comparison in the power department and I am alright with that because it is still pretty damn fun to drive. Was seriously considering a smaller car like a WRX or GTI and have always liked the ST/RS but the RS was out of my price range.

I was seriously considering an RS before I bought my Mustang, but I quickly realized that they were way too expensive with the limited production and all. Golf R and STI are still cool, but they really need a power update.

Wrx and STI are a joke. 40 big ones for a 310hp car. Smh

And from what I hear the new STi's are known for melting pistons, some even at stock power levels.

They're not the STi's that built that name, they're a marketing tool to sell WRX's and regular Subarus

That would be the STi version of the WRX, not the WRX generally. $40k is a bit much.

Mid-$20's for 260-ish HP is a much more reasonable combination if you're looking for something else at the Focus ST level.

Dealership has 2 RS here. Both in the low to mid 40's. I couldn't justify spending that much money on a "Focus". Yeah, it isn't a normal one, but it is still a Focus. WRX was an option but the more I look at them, the uglier they get. STi gets ricier every time they change it. VW ownership is great, but tends to get expensive with maintenance and parts are not cheap. Opted for this and so far, minus a few sellers remorse moments, I am pretty happy. Saw a Blaze Yellow Boss 302 last night at the store and immediately got a shot of jealousy because I was already missing the exhaust note on mine.

I spoke with Kelly today about the new Drive Shaft Loop setup for the 07-14 GT500 working on my '11 GT with the T56 magnum XL. I also have ARHs with ORH pipe that's 3". He believes it will fit so I ordered one and he said about a week for delivery as they are producing them now. I'll report back to Kelly and here on how it goes.
