Well changed the plugs on the car today- no more high end miss, I thought was a fuel issue which was causing the breaking up- plugs didn't look bad , they had less than 2k miles on them- car runs like a animal again- still keeping my tuner appointment so I can dbl check the af ratios and get a converter locking up issue resolved.

Got my new rims and tires for the rear. 18" deep dish with 295/40/18 Nitto 555 G2. Should give me a bit more grip than the 255's that had very little tread left. Also found out my builder finally got my cams in so he can finish building my engine and get it installed soon. He is still hoping for 650RWHP when he is done.

I rolled over 38k a few days ago ... weird to see almost 40k on the clock, when the last 2 years I've been driving it about 3-4k a year ...

I usually put the same 3-4K a year but this year I'm lucky if I put over 2K so far. Just been busy with other things.

Dang! You guys need to get to driving! 155k on my 08 :clap:

Ha! 112k on my '12!

Just installed a suspension package including:
BMR GT handling springs
Bilstein struts and shocks
GT500 upper mounts (backwards)
BMR LCA relocation brackets
BMR rod/poly PHB

What a great ride into work this morning.

Driveshaft back in, and xpipe reinstalled.. the maybe good part is even though I bent pry bar I think I seated the xpipe portion deeper in the downtube from header (mid pipe is 3 piece vs factory 1pc) so hopefully I have enough clearance now the hanger will not hit the cross member bolt under certain conditions.

Wooo! Glad to hear you're enjoying your BMR upgrades! I've been eyeballing a set of those handling springs myself. Thanks for your support!

How do you have 1k already? You had a broken 3v in it like half an hour ago.

You white boys work fast.

Sure do! From the time the car broke to the time the new engine was in, running, and the car was driving, was only about 3 weeks. The 1st week was spent waiting on parts, several other days were spent waiting for parts, and both my assistant and I were out of town for 4 days. All in all, about 1.5 weeks worth of work.

Car is also a daily driver, I drive my junk!

Finally finished fixing the Frankenstein exhaust setup I was dumb enough to install for the S550. I had taken a complete catback from a trade in that consisted of true duals and borlas. Muffled tone all the way through the power band. X pipe and Roush ab have now been swapped in. Holy god does it sound good.

I would but where I hang out during the day time the parking lot is gravel and dusty. So the car gets dirty including the engine and it's only about 3 miles from the house. So normally the truck gets the job.

Congrats!

By the way, removing/replacing headlights on that model is about a 10-second job ;)

That's good know. Oh and when you drive up in a Mustang, to buy another Mustang, the guy selling said Mustang will want to talk about Mustangs and he will show you pictures of the Mustangs he has had and you will show pictures of the Mustangs you have had and he will give you a great deal because he knows you love Mustangs.
