What have you done to your mustang today?

[hotrod_renegade]

Over the last two days: TCI Ratchet Shifter, UPR UCA and mount, UPR LCA's, UPR sway bar delete/lightweight radiator support, and Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors all the way around with Z26 carbon ceramic pads. Drove the shit out of it today, everything seems to work well together. Still spins quite a bit on the street, we'll see what she can do now at the track.

Oh, and made a little exhaust vid for the wide world of youtubers:

Nice. So the weather finally cleared up for a bit? Figures I'd be out of town.

Mine has traction issues now too just not as bad as I thought it would be. On warm pavement I can get 2nd on up to hold. First not so much. Haven't tried a burnout first though.

Still need to find a decent fuel station too.

Spent the afternoon today swapping out the factory spoiler(backup cam type) and installed the MMD Ductail spoiler. Definitely like it. Ordered from American Muscle prepainted and pleased with the paint and finish. Here are a couple of pics...

Spoiler looks GREAT! Did you have to sacrifice the backup camera or were you able to move it?

Thanks BleedinBlue. Disconnected for now until I can figure something out.

There is, you should make the trip some day.

Ordered the replacement engine. Now just have to figure out why the Hellion is overboosting and convince my wife I have it solved!

Last time I went was in 2013. I plan to go this Sunday, but something always comes up.

Replacement engine? I thought you had this all fixed up and were on your way? What's up? Sorry you've had to go through all this.

Damper & springs, CC plates, panhard bar, alignment, new rubber, oil change and a quick check over for summer on the 12'. Bout time I drove one of my own cars.

Took the entire rear suspension out last night... had some clunking going on so thought I would check everything. Everything was good and tight so it gave me an opportunity to re-grease everything. Still need to pull the front wheels and check the front suspension.

Anyone have any experience in getting rid of the clunk in the drivetrain? Drive shaft specifically? I can turn it about a half inch so ever time I let off the gas, change gears, etc. there is a clunk. Quite annoying..... 6-speed, one piece driveshaft, factory 3.73 gears.

Blew engine #2 first WOT data log to 7,000 rpm. Lost a piston, again. Hellion is trying to figure out why it overboosts.

Who's paying for these engines?

Which DS?

Which DS?

Dynotech. doesn't appear to be slop in the driveshaft itself, the pinion will move the 1/4 to 1/2" as well. Couldn't slide up far enough to see the transmission movement.

Is that one of the deals that telescopes? If so there are big splines in there. Those have clearance (or they don't work).
