Added a POWERFLEX poly (red) exhaust hanger to the downpipe mount for testing purposes. I originally left this mount the stock blue spongy gummy for movement but felt it was too soft.
Re-torqued all the exhaust clamps for good measure - oogled at my awesome exhaust while under the car....
Which exhaust would that be? Pics and audio?

You won't regret it! The owner is in my local group and a great guy. He's been thinking of getting some more stuff made for our cars.

Did you get the hose sleeves? If not go buy them....trust me you're going to need them in the end.

It's my FiST in the picture on the site showing the sleeves installed. I'm thinking of cutting them down to just the problem areas so I can still have the majority of the hose exposed.

Gave mine a much needed wash/vacuum and found one of my LEDs in the rear dome light had failed :(

I think they made them a predetermined length for a reason...I know they look pretty also....just food for thought

Thanks guys for the tips on the Damond OCC. I thought the hoses were gonna be the shiny silicone ones. These are just like standard heater hose. It's a great kit though. Whatcha think about the VTA option?

I was a race gas junky in PA (my eco stang) and had no thought of running anything but 93/94 Sunoco in my FIST when there.
Now in LV i have access to crappy 91 so running e30 is so easy, cheap and everywhere. I kinda like it now. I've converted LOL

My younger son ( the Marine) has an Ecoboost Stang which he now wants to start modding beyond the Roush intake he already has on the car (downpipe, CBE, possibly IC).

I am going to refer him to you, and Mitch @ cp-e to find out just what is possible with those cars (but he is not quite ready for a full turbo replacement setup yet).

I felt a little too much roll at the track on Thursday, so I ordered a Hotchkis rear anti-roll bar (which looks slightly beefier than the Eibach)

Installed the Boomba short throw shifter.
Installed 3rd brake light flasher

Lesson learned about the shifter - After installing it, all went exactly like instructions, except for the test drive.
The computer started throwing errors. U210B Lost Communication Between Fuel Pump Control Module 'A' and Restraints Control Module. The airbag light on, traction control light on, wrench light and the radio kept telling me it couldn't use the 911 service.
After much cussing and checking wire connections, I found the Restraints Control Module. It is located under the center console.
When I slid the center console back in, it unlocked the connector on the module. The loose connector was throwing the errors.
Lesson for the day - double check everything before bolting it all back.

Shifter and shifter block make for a nice short throw.

Ordered a set of black Sparco Assetto Gara (16 x 7) w/ RE760 in 205/45. Should be delivered Friday, I'll update w/ photos.

They showed up a day early and I hard to work late so it was too dark once I got them installed for a good pic. I'll put one up tomorrow...it's not like everyone knows what they look like. What are we thinking for pressure on these? Til then:



Installed the new rims/tires last night, washed it this morning. It's my Friday morning ritual.
