What have you done to your mustang today?

Installed the new 2014 GT500 steering wheel. I was so excited I wired it up and installed it over my lunch break today. Tomorrow I am fixing a coolant leak in the valley of the engine, not as excited for that.

Spent the morning fixing a coolant leak that has been bothering me for some time....see that goo? I cleaned it all up to perfection but lost my "after" picture! Oh well, it is not leaking anymore so I am happy with it.
Also, I cleaned my seats with a pretty strong solution of APC. I am really digging the "flat" or "matte" look. It hides a lot of the wear. See my post above to compare.

Took the stang out for a drive, took some pics, brought it home. I installed an Led bulb for the license plate light, and removed the radiator hold down brackets to paint them black.

Got my MT82, MGW Race Spec, and a new clutch installed tonight. So far, so good. I can't wait for this clutch to break in so I can get on it.

Congrats on the new install. As for the clutch brake in, I have yet to understand that. I have installed new clutched in my old 69 Mustang, 70 Maverick, Tractor trailer clutches and as a crew member on a SS/AH stick car and we resurface the twin disks every 10 or so runs and non of there have ever had a brake in. Is the brake in the wrong wording for seating the disk to the pressure plate? Interesting.

It's just to make sure you get a layer of clutch material transferred to the plate and flywheel AFAIK. A couple heat cycles and it should be good. I used my old flywheel without resurfacing and I used a used stock pressure plate from a friends 14 GT. Only the disc was new.
I put a new clutch in when I did my swap and within 10-15 minutes I was hammering that fucker like it owed me money lol. This one should be fine now, so I'll likely give it the beans on the way home.

Drove it like I stole it at Texas World Speedway. Hit 135 on the babies straight then hit a 90 degree sweeper at 90mph. What a rush.

Finished putting my exhaust back together last night. Catted shorty H pipe went back on, and I got one of those ebay axle backs that comes with the borla stinger-style axle back. Fired it up today, damn it's loud, going to have to see how livable it is.
Part of the reason I did this was to find out how it sounded without the resonators I've had on there since I put on the longtubes- I honestly think they were killing a lot of my idle/low speed sound because I'm finally hearing that killer idle lope from my cams that I've been missing.

Very nice, do you ever get to run the banked track all the way around?
Snow tires off and stockers back on.

That's good. I'm getting mine out of storage Thursday and throwing some parts at it I've accumulated for it.
