What have you done to your mustang today?

What size/brand tires are you running? Those things look THICK!

Tires are a little big for the wheel width, but I got a screaming deal.
305/30-19 Yokohama Neuovas.

I considered going with 305s but decided to go 285s. Any fender rub issues? I just like the way that looks!

Well, hm. This moroso ds loop may not work after all. Test fit my h pipe today and while it clears everything, it looks like one of the h pipe hangers may be against the head of one of the crossmember bolts when the rest of the exhaust is installed. It's very close as it is.

I finally got around to replacing the 2 springs in the trunk. The rubber feet fell off and some times the trunk wouldn't pop open. It surprised me how much a difference the 1/8" rubber bumpers made. Still haven't installed those damn jacking rails.

You wanna sell them?

Picked it up from the body shop after getting the hail damaged fixed two weeks shy of a year. Glad to have it back and fixed. PDR guys saved the roof so that was good news.

No rub. I went from staggered to this setup, I'm liking the look. Thanks

Which cam is that?

Cushman Motorsports stage 1. Admittedly they only chop like that when the engine is cold.

I just want to confirm that’s square tire size?
I need tires for my staggered 19x10 and 19x11

With my 305s, I understand that my wheels should be 19x11 to have a "square" setup. I should have 285/35-19 for my 10s.

Is that scoop on backward, or is the angle just funny?

No it's on correctly. Just the angle. It's got the notch on the front to allow for oil changes.

Received the first box of pieces to put the T56 Mag. back together. Crawled under the car and replaced the bell house bolts while the tranny is out of the way and verified the clutch finger hight so I can order the correct throw out bearing spacer.

Removed the cat-delete pipes, re-installed the cats, changed the oil and filter, drained the catch can, gave the Watts Link and rear LCAs some lube squirts (giggidy), uploaded the emissions tune, and found that the oil pressure sensor for the oil pressure gauge is seeping oil. Took it out, removed whatever was left of the Teflon tape that it was originally put together with (about 5 years ago), and put some black RTV on there, then put it back together. The black part of the sensor that the electrical pigtail clips onto is turning inside the sensor - I don't think it's supposed to, so I might need to replace that sensor soon.

Amsoil 5w50 full synthetic and a Ford/Motorcraft FL820S filter:


The oil leak as I found it:



The AEM sensor with barely any Teflon tape left on it:



The AEM sensor with black RTV on the threads, ready to go back in:



All back together, for now:

Replaced the rear bumpstops.

I would be curious as to know if you notice\experience any difference in either clutch feel or shifting feel from installing this air deflector cooling duct. I had 1 of these in my wish list on CJ Pony Parts to buy for quite some time but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Anything that cools a trans down has got to be beneficial right? [emoji106]

And I FINALLY installed my Steeda jacking rails. What a pain in the ass. I thought I'd never get those damn front bolts out and back in. Turns out they sit a little lower than expected. I have to rock the car up to get my jack with the puck under there. Without the puck it's fine but that powder coat wouldn't last very long. I'm still glad I got them. Tire rotation and oil changes will be a lot easier without having to line up the jack with the notch on the body.

Damn how low is your car? Mine is lowered 2.5” and slammed and I can slide the jack under there with a rubber puck.
