What have you done to your mustang today?

[claudermilk]

It's hard to drive something when it has no motor. I learned this from a past experience.

Yeah, I've noted that too.

The whole car makes me sad ....

No engine, no wheels, stuck on jackstands. I think the car is sad too. I'm sure it will get to drive eventually (and I bet there's already more miles on it than Darren's )

Seats...

Looks great! How do you like them?

Don't Forget no grill either .... I'm cursed I swear. I was painting the grill this weekend and thought eh let me put on one more coat of black before I clear coat it. While spraying the final coat I run out of paint and paint comes sputtering out of the can ruining the finish I had. So I went to the auto parts store yesterday picked up some black spray paint. Today, I put 2 layers of black on it to make it look decent. I go to put on the clear coat and it explodes on me, and sends giant globs of clear all over the grill ..... I can't fucking win

New clutch and learning engagement point all over again.

I don't think I will know until next Sunday - 40-mile drive to a car show. I have sat in it long enough to adjust seat position and belts.

I do have one minor complaint - there's nothing to cover the big-ass holes in the carpet where the rear of the bracket bolts to the floor.

Interested to find out, this will likely be one of my next mods.

I *think* I just won this battle. I go Friday to be sure. Monitors not setting up?

 

[pdxandy]

Right. SCT programmer arrives tomorrow. Will try again with factory tune.

I have no cats and a couple different very skilled tuners couldn't get my car to pass. I ended up putting in two non-foulers on each side of the X pipe and returned the tune to stock. All monitors are set up now and no CEL. I go for emissions tests on Friday but it should go without a hitch.

 

[pdxandy]

Hmmm. Where do you get no fowlers?

You can get them anywhere, I ordered from Amazon.

Put the 1.5" clutch pedal extension on the other day and finally got to drive it... holy shit it was like learning to drive a manual again. It may only be an inch and a half but felt like a foot! Had to move my chair back a couple inches to make it so it didn't feel like my left knee was in my chest. After driving around I actually like it but sure takes some getting used to.

Reasoning for the extension is I am short (5' 9") and my right knee would hit the lever under the steering column... thought this would help out.
