What have you done to your mustang today?

[travelers]

Thanks and no, still running the trusty factory driveshaft.
You hear on forums of people breaking the factory ones, but never hear of that happening locally.
So I'll keep running the factory piece for the foreseeable future.
This recently happened to a buddy with a blown Boss:
Shaftmasters shaft???

Ouch, that's the shaft I have. How much HP is he making and what tires he's using? Track?

Not sure it was a Shaftmasters, but doesn't look like a DSS ... DSS doesn't have that rubber boot

It's a Procharged '12 Boss with an F1c, not sure of the exact power, I think he's at about 650 rwhp and this was Hoosier a6 tires, at New England Dragway
3 passes that night, 2 on Goodyear F1s and one on the Hoosiers and the driveshaft snapped

Got everything ready for sound deadening install tomorrow. Did my trunk area years ago. Gonna tackle the rear seat/quarter area to cut down road noise, especially in rain. Should have enough to slap a few pieces on the roof to dampen it too

Cliff,

You might find something I just had done to mine of interest.

See post # 1110 to the end.

How in the hell did you do that?!

Baffles me. I use the car everyday around town, and real careful with bumps on road etc. I had the entire Roush suspension kit installed 5 yrs ago. Roush lowers the front 1" ( 1.25" rear). Roush springs are supposed to be just 30% stiffer than oem... but their front struts / rear shocks are rock hard. ( rebranded XXX). I'm going to replace both fronts with oem struts.

Gabe,

I'm actually just trying to do business where I live and not have to drive 1K miles round trip plus all the added expenses of doing that going to Brenspeed.

DBR Performance does some very-very High-End vehicles and they are located less than 20-miles from where I live.

They have already done several things for me on the Mustang and all of what they did was excellent.

So I have continued to go back to them ...........

They hold either 3 or 4 World Records currently.

now they're gonna send you "960HP" decals ...

It was a huge PITA sitting in the back with no seat but it's done.

i saw that. Looks my good! I didn't go as far but hopefully with what I've done it'll cut down the road noise from the tires and rain noise on the roof.

 

[bujeezus]

How do you like the initial quality of those? I've had my eye on them since I bought my Bullitt last year but haven't pulled the trigger.

 

[braupe]

I installed some hot rod cams. love the sound and I also installed some cmdpe day before and noticed a drop in low end grunt. Should i throw the stock valves back in? Or try a tune other than Bama?

Thoroughly cleaned my new performance pack wheels for the beater GT500

Cliff,

I have some buddies that have in the past also done to different degrees the Dynamat treatment to their Mustangs.
They all said even what they did made a noticeable difference.

I'm sure what you have done will help with the noise from the road, tires, exhaust etc. also.

If your interested check back on that thread of mine and as soon as John sends me the rest of the pictures he took I'll be posting them.
He did a very extensive job with the install from what I saw in the pictures he showed me.
It should not only help with Noise but also with the A/C.
Where I live it gets really hot in the summer months and really high humidity.

Tried measuring the weight of my fiberglass Saleen hood with one of hose luggage scale handles and registered 20 or so pounds.

I'm guessing that's half the weight since it was still on the car and I lifted it by the front hinge? Lol I was bored.

 

[eighty6gt]

if it was level with the ground, you are exactly correct.

I have had my redlines on my car for about 1.5 years with no issue at all- it isn't a daily driver, but install on my 14 was super quick and easy-

 

[bujeezus]

Thanks for the feedback bunits.

Finally got around to de-dipping the barrels of my wheels.

I took the dip off of the "face" of the wheels a while back, but left it on the "barrel" part of the wheel. Finally decided to go all the way and peel all the plasti-dip this weekend. I guess I didn't have it applied on thick enough in the barrels, because it was a royal PITB to get it all off.

On the bright side, all the hard work paid off...my de-dipped polished Forgestars look sick, if I do say so myself.

I told my wife that if she ever sees me standing over a set of wheels with a can of PD in my hand, she has full permission to come and punch my in the nads.
