That's a lot of jam, good thing you just went with it.

I am definitely stealing this! LOL!!!

Or you could have standards higher than that of a pimple faced, middle schooler who thinks that sort of stuff gives him credibility.

But, you know, whatever.

What in the Jesus tittyfuckin Christ are you on about?

 

[1950StangJump$]

So clever! Good for you, little buddy. Good for you.

Thanks Skipper!

That invoice is f****** ridiculous!

That invoice is f****** ridiculous!

Yea I was not happy paying that out of pocket. Absolutley sucked. Never ever again. As it is when I get the car back I have to swap the brakes, do a front end alignment and change out the power steering pump which the shop is saying is dying from sitting so long and whining away. I sure as hell wasn't going to ask them to do it.

Convert to EPAS.

Convert to EPAS.

Isn't that like 1200 dollars?

Just ordered a new power steering pump, and what I am excited for is new rtr tech 7 wheels with Michelin pilot super sport 305/35r19s in the rear and 265/40r19s in the front. Also ordered a 4 piston brembo setup.

This means I will be posting up my 20" billet wheels and tires next week for sale.

I just got my car back today! It runs really well. I have to track down some driveline vibration grimlins that are going on when the car is still at idle. The alignment is off and the brakes are quite rusty. I will be swapping in the brembos this week. Along with new wheels and tires. Next is to get past inspection.

This thread could grow to be 1000 pages long and I will never make it past the pictures of the invoice, the amount of questions I have would fill novel

Ask away. I can explain what happened but I have no explanation for the bending over ankle grabbing that that invoice induced.

Glad hear you got the car back and it runs great!

I will have more updates this week. All my parts including upgraded brembos came in today so I will be installing those over the weekend.

Cost me about $300. $140 for the rack, 2014 GT take off, and a harness that you should actually just make. Get the pigtails from the wrecker, get a 150 amp fuse. The other plug is can hi which you tie into at the ecu, and a 12v low amp supply that just turns the rack on when you turn on the car. You'll want to twist the can hi leads, and possibly shield them and sink the shield to chassis ground. Mine aren't shielded.

I'm running nothing like the GT size 255/45R18's on the front, GT500 control arms, completely custom suspension setup, no issues whatsoever.

Did you notice a difference in steering? Also I may have issues with the install because my bmr k member does not have the 3rd bolt provision. Also what harness does the pigtails belong to for my search?

It also free's up 10 hp on the dyno, per Lito. Lito said the steering improvement was vastly superior to the oem setup.... a real treat.
The only real electrical load is when you are stopped, and turning lock to lock. I have the epas setup on the wife's 2011 Fusion, and the steering response is a lot better than my 2010 mustang. Much more responsive, and less effort. That would be a benefit on a 05-10 mustang..esp with wider front tires, like 255/275/285 widths.

Per Kelly at BMR you don’t need the 3rd point, I can confirm my car has been fine without it. Just make sure you torque the two mounting bolts to spec and you’re good. It’s like 89 ft-lbs if I remember correctly.

I just made a thread that has part numbers for the wire harness and pictures of the wiring.
