What have you done to your mustang today?

[alinkous]

Attempted to install my cat deletes... and failed. I could not for the life of me get the o2 sensors to budge. Does the o2 sensor socket really make a difference or do I just need to bust out the breaker bar? Also tried to just unplug them from the top but couldnt get my hand up in there to unclick them. Yay bloody knuckles.

There is not a lot of room up there, if you can unclip them that gives you a little more room.

Us PB blast and a breaker bar, they are on there guttentight.

Like Greg said, spray the sensors with PB Blaster vigorously and let it soak for 10 minutes or so.
You can wrench on them pretty hard, they won't snap.

How many miles are on the car?

While sure they won't snap I have had a few of the threads break off the bung and come out with the sensor. I find the socket does indeed help if you can fit it on there without anything being in the way. Don't forget to use antisieze when putting them back in!!!

Yeah and Che also says there relo's may not work with sway bar relo's. BMR just needs to make a brace already

They will work. you dont have to heat them up like I did. You can bend the sway bar out far enough to clear the brackets.

Breaker bar or hit the wrench with a hammer will help break loose the o2's.

Oil change.

Still having some vibrating issues in the front now.

 

[AJCrader]

Put a plan in motion to get my car built and boosted.

Boosted is going to take longer, but I am getting a trufiber hood and vented fenders out of it, and I am planning on some new wheels/tires, thinking square setup of 20x9 tsw panorama matte bronze with 255/35/20 rubber

Straightened out the tips on the Borlas I installed yesterday ... the OCD was driving me crazy!

Kinda wish that for the money they charge for these things, they would be nice enough to include new clamps with their mufflers so I wouldn't have had to rip the old ones off the GT500 mufflers ...

 

[Jeffk]

Hmm, when I bought my Borlas they had nice new clamps. Maybe they just feel bad for us lowly 3V guys? LOL

Lexan windows and supports from Rehegan Racing.

 

[Kenaizer]

Tried to straighten out my LCA relocation brackets, installed BMR LCAs, Whiteline transmission mount bushing, and S&H Breather kit.

Haven't had a chance to measure wheelbase yet, but I think I'll be buying some BMR relo brackets soon...

 

[Greg Hazlett]

What's wrong with the breathers?

Let me know when you are ready for the relo's!

 

[lindertw]

I did not successfully mount my weld rts front wheels...

one of the new-in-wrapper weld lugs is fubar and needs to be returned/exchanged

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

FYI the weld lugs and washers suck imo. Buy the mcguard versions.

Concur; I have messed up more than one stud thanks to the weld junk.

Here's the lugs you need for the Weld RT-S wheels. Washers and plugs for the open ends are included. Tighten the plastic plugs in the open ends before running them, I lost a couple my first time out.

Absolute nothing, they're actually nicer than I was thinking they'd be!

Will do! Might pick up a used set but if not, I'll be contacting you.

sweet - I'll return the weld junk to JEGS and order the mcgard's. Thanks for the p/n skwerl, I was just searching the forum for it

Whew...from your post I thought there was something wrong with them!
