Drove it to get take out Italian for dinner
Just got my LTs delivered. JBA titanium ceramic. Street legal in states without CA emission standards. (Previously 49 state legal, now its like 45 states)
Accompanied by Amico power 205 Tig welder.
5 years is all I ever got out of yellow tops. Went back to conventional cheap wallyworld batts. All of our cars now have Everstarts.Those are the ones I have, they've been holding up great for 5 years (despite the shop warning me the coating is eventually going to flake off)
As for me, shopping around for a new battery. 2nd Optima red top to die at 5 years old. Way too much money for something that only lasts as long as the cheapie parts store batteries. The stock motorcraft battery lasted longer
Walmart sells their rv batteries in a different section and they are a lot cheaper than the ones in the auto section. My kid had to get a new battery and it was 150ish in the auto section and 57 in the rv section (same size)5 years is all I ever got out of yellow tops. Went back to conventional cheap wallyworld batts. All of our cars now have Everstarts.

Thanks for the heads-up, guys.As for me, shopping around for a new battery. 2nd Optima red top to die at 5 years old. Way too much money for something that only lasts as long as the cheapie parts store batteries. The stock motorcraft battery lasted longer
Did you secure wire the hats to the rotors ?View attachment 76147 Wilwood brakes and bump steer kit. View attachment 76146
oh yeah i forgot that, i must be getting old...nice jobYes sir. Twice. The original hats that were supposed to fit, didn’t. View attachment 76148 View attachment 76149
Wilwood had this problem on other early model 05’s, so they sent me new hats and brackets that would fit. So I had to cut off the wires, bolt on new hats, and wire again.
Factory size rotors or 14”?ordered strange front and rear light weight racing brakes, spool, new slicks, and an alternator to convert back to 12v, have to charge the battery between rounds sucks.
With that I will have some parts for sale here soon. Front and rear cross drilled slotted rotors, Eaton tru-trac, factory axels and maybe 3.73 ford racing gears. I will post in parts for sale once removed from the car.
