What have you done to your mustang today?

[ShelbySteve]

Installed some fog lights. Kit took quite a bit of modifying to fit like i wanted, but for $100 I’m not complaining when $22 was for the led bulbs lol.

FYI you can negotiate the annual Sirius subscription. They like to jack it up $$$ after the first year.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep this in mind....................

Wife has a Sirius subscription for her 2016 Lincoln MKX Reserve...........had to take it to the Ford dealership recently to have a TSB done (calibration strategy update to correct an emissions compliance issue.........) so while it was in there, had them to check the ACM (audio control module) to see if they could find why the system started randomly pumping static thru the speakers (I have an Autel 808 Pro scan tool that can scan all modules for DTC's but not check function integrity......ACM scanned clean for DTC's so thought it was good........thus thought the separate amp was maybe going bad......car has the 9-speaker Ford Sirius audio system w\ amp.........I wasn't about to go into this thing's interior dash to access any of this myself........) ........ended up being the ACM module itself after diagnosis (also wasn't gonna pay the 2-day subscription fee for Ford's FJDS access either........costs more than the ACM module AND the dealer labor to replace & reprogram it...........sheesh!) thus got all squared away...........but in the process they couldn't restore her SiriusXM subscription (different ACM module radio ID #.......) so she had to get SiriusXM to transfer her account to this new ACM in her Lincoln & in the process she got an offer from them to add a new Sirius account for 1\2 off.............guess who got that..........?

Exactly.

 

[86GT351]

Exactly.

I had this happen years ago. Canceled and called back 2 days later for 4.00 a month as long as you pay for an annual comitment.

Today finished up smoothing out and painted the drink holder cover on the console. Already did the shifter surround and radio surround to match the car.

Sirus infamous for jacking up the rates to a couple hundred after that first year -- it was a yearly ritual when I had it. See what they were going to raise it to, call and say I wanted to cancel, they'd say "oh no hold on I bet we can get you a deal". Could usually get them down to around $10 a month w/ streaming, but the last year I had it they weren't nearly as willing to do any discounts so I walked. Like anything, the playlist is a lot different than FM but you listen to it enough and it gets repetitive

Where'd you get the kit from?

 

[GriffX]

Plastidip. I sanded it with 320 a lot before 3 coats of plastidip.

I am posting my Blackstone laboratories results for my 05' GT. Everything looks good for 130K miles with 5W-30 Mobile 1 full synthetic and Motorcraft filter.

I am going to do the front timing set, phasers and oil pump, etc. but wondering if I should change out the rocker arms and lash adjusters? There is no metal in my last two oil analysis. Any input would greatly be appreciated.

 

[ryunker]

Just got the faded sun visors back from dye treatment, and the console cover to match the grabber blue car.

 

[ryunker]

Finished the console update in my 2013. Question is white Ford racing shift knob, or a grabber blue-ish knob?

 

[Gladams]

White really pops.

 

[86GT351]

White really pops.

It does

Third vote for white.

Who asked you? LOL!!!!

Waiting for the new cat converters and (4) new O2 sensors to arrive this afternoon.

May I ask why? Very odd that all will go bad

 

[graybeard]

It didn't all go bad, it got gone.
I bought this GT a couple of weeks knowing it required some exhaust work. No cats, no mufflers. Off-road and loud.
The pipes that came with the GT look very new.

Didn't do anything TO the car today but I FINALLY ordered the brake rotors to go with the pads and grease I already have on the shelf. Hopefully I'll get to that next weekend and get the car back into rotation!
