Words cannot express my thoughts here.

Yeah perhaps its time to trade it in for a prius or maybe a minivan... hell at least the import boys put them on the roof. Dont get me wrong your work is top notch. But on a GT? I could see this from a v6... lol

Whatever floats your boat I guess.

But then I'd be some douchebag in a Prius or a minivan. :) I've used the roof racks before and they are far more cumbersome, never mind the added opportunity to screw up the car.

I could throw the bike in the truck (2500HD) or the Jeep (4.0 YJ), and I have, but the Mustang is my daily and I want to be able to get a ride in after work. This allows that.

Installed a Reese trailer hitch so that I could use the family bike carrier with the Mustang. Turns out the Flowmaster people and the Reese people didn't consult one another.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!

Exhaust on a C-Prepared car? Really? REALLY DAVE?! I want my ears to be bleeding from overall sound pressure, not the sound of rocks in a tin can! Straight pipe that car sooner rather than later!

PS: Will it be ready for Nationals?

Successful troll was successful. While Dave may not admit it right now, that car is going to be more of this:

and this:

Then it will ever be a DD. He's just taking his sweet time gutting, cutting and flaring the fenders, and throwing big power and lots of tire at the car.


Dave, is the real reason you installed the trailer hitch so you could pull a tire trailer to events? :p We all know what happens when you put big HP on street tires... you'll end up in a Corvette ass first into a pole and the steering shaft through your skull, so you should probably drive to and from events on your Hoosier A6's or whatever slick you pick because we can't have a member of our leadership dying on street tires in such a fashion! :D

I have two S197's. This is the daily, not the CP car. Though I suppose I should post an update on that one sometime too.

This is news... guess I haven't been paying much attention! :D Need moar CP car though! :)

Working on this stupid ass rattling shifter ball!!!




I think that ought to fix it!!!



Fucker cracked in half when I was trying to tighten it down. I guess I had stuffed too much cotton in there.

Thankfully I had the stocker from my 09 lying around.

Was that an EPCO ball?

I have an EPCO shifter ball and it rattles under higher RPM's, but I just live with it

I appreciate it but I was actually thinking about picking up a regular handle like the S197 one that I put on there. I forgot I had this one until desperate times called. LOL.

I honestly don't know. It was in there when I bought the car. It's supposedly a Steeda Triax Shifter.

And thanks to that pic I now realize that I need to do something with my radio bezel...looks like shit.

Almost had a heart attack with it.

I went down to storage unit to jump it, which is about 30 feet from train track. Got it started, I am facing in unit, just as I go to disconnect the jumpers from mustang (still attached to daily so being careful not to touch them to anything), train blows horn. Jumped out of my f'n skin!

WOW!

I had something similar happen yesterday. Was hooking up power wire to amp and my buddy's phone went off, he has the nuclear strike warning sound effect for when his wife calls! I almost pissed all over the interior of my car. LOL.

Replaced my old stock axles and detroit locker with a full Strange setup from JPC....35 spline axles, c-clip elims and a spool.

My son did something like that on purpose when I was at a critical point in my KB install. I almost killed him...

But he still thinks it was funny...

I'm extra leery of making electrical connections since one of my buddy's brought his car over for me to install a chrome alternator and it was shorted almost catching his car on fire when I went to hook up the battery. LOL.

Kids! They'll give ya gray hair.

Thank you for knowing the difference between "leery" and "weary". Too many fucking idiots don't know the difference or combine the words in a stupidity induced hybrid. Drives me insane.

He was paying me back. While testing coils on an '87 Fiero, he was sitting in the trunk over the engine while I was in the passenger compartment ready to turn the ignition and I watched an MSD coil energize him. Zap-zap-zap. I laughed so hard...

To this day he won't hold any wire I ask him to... smart boy!
