What have you done to your mustang today?

[o2sys]

Dropped off to get my hood painted.

 

[SilverSport]

installed repaired instrument cluster (thanks Circuit Board Medics), changed oil to Mobil 1, cleaned throttle body (huge change in idle smoothness) as it was filthy from previous owner and changed fuel filter (nice upgrade in run ability)...

The best sounding exhaust on these cars is the GT500 style mufflers. The issue is the volume. Needs to be 2-3x louder than it is. Nicer rolled tips would be a plus there too.

Exhaust on these cars is a matter of trade-offs. Had these Borla S on the car for a bit now. I love the tips. The idle, light part throttle, and WOT sounds good. No drone. Bit louder than the GT500 at least @ WOT.

These things still don't sound great to me at heavy part throttle. There is some rasp there and I am not a big fan of that type of sound. I can't imagine the ATAK series, probably sounds like outlaws but minus the drone. Not sure really but at the cost of buying/selling these exhausts I can't afford to mess with it any more.

Honestly wondering if I could get some aftermarket tips for the GT500, have them welded on, and then I might just put them back on the car and sell the Borla S.

Replaced the right front O2 sensor, let down the harness to eliminate the extender. hopefully my left front sensor doesn't get screwed up soon, because it has an extension too. I do have a new one ordered from Tasca, so I don't get locally raped on the price again if the bastard goes bad right before a race weekend, lol!

Went to visit my toy 2 weeks ago and this is where it was sitting at that point.

Went back in last Saturday and she was in much better condition, just waiting for the last gasket for the blower lid.

Took the wheels off and cleaned em good and painted the calipers and blacked out the truck gt emblem. Oh, and waxed it.

was able to get my MAF sensor off and clean it (one of the screws was rounded out)...found out that my R-13 was nearly empty (unlike what I thought before) and ended up adding a 20 oz can of A/C Pro and more than 12 oz more...compressor is working as it should and the air is ice cold again...

What do you have in it?

What do you have in it?

Still just a 4.6L but got the short block from Coast High Performance, it is there Pro Street Kit, then added stage 3 livernois heads, stage 2 blower grind cams, the long tubes and a bunch of other goodies. Bumped the blower up to 10-12psi from the 7 I was running before so it should be fun until I can look into a better blower and really work the engine.

Are you going to be reinstalling your Airaid CAI with the Saleen blower ? I'd still like to know how you got the Airaid tube to clear the alternator after being re-located as required by Saleen with their alternator re-location bracket..

That is the plan and my builder is assuring me it will work so should know in a week or 2 hopefully. Still the same bracket and such that was in there before with the blower but just a new alternator on it now.

I'll be looking forward to your progress.. Hopefully your builder will provide details about the Airaid CAI being compatible with the Saleen blower along with clearing the alternator with the Saleen re-location bracket in place..

Ordered a set of the Steeda S197 jacking rails.
Like that they bolt in, and at the sale price of $118.96 I thought I'd finally buy them

 

[06 T-RED S/C GT]

Keep us posted how they work out Gabe

Gave it a bath. 5 minutes later the rain that was scheduled for the following day arrived.
Considering trading it for an 07 GT convertible. But the 07 has about 20,000 more on the clock.
