Morning all...Looks like Stoenr had a goods time last night!!:rofl2::metal:

ya know dark rum is good with that stuff also





Morning Everyone

95% sure....... :nice:

hahhahaa, great picture :metal: :nice:

Morning Glenn!

Ugh, dont remind me, lol. This half of day of work is going to feel like a full one.

Thats a true breakfast of Champions....:nice:

Left overs for dinner guys!

I almost bought one of the Warriors in Pink cars when we were looking at the Focus. Didn't want to make a daily driver out of it.

Must go to Grocery today. Need mass quantities.

Well, I have a little dilemma here, my wheels came yesterday, but they are black, not gunmetal gray like I ordered. Also 1 wheel didn't make it for some reason, another has been shipped and will be here Wednesday. Should I keep the black wheels and put them on, or call CTR and have them swap for the gray ones. I don't know what color the additional wheel they shipped is, will have to see when it gets here. I do like the look of the black ones I received, so I am thinking of keeping them.

:pics:

:grin: As requested:

If the 4th wheel comes in gray, I will decide then what to do. If it comes in black, I'll keep the black set for sure. I do plan to tint the back 3 windows within about a month or so.

I think black rims would go great on your car. I'd keep them too. But use this opportunity to get them at a reduced price. It will cost them a bunch to ship you a gray set and pay to ship those black ones back. Use it you your advantage Justin.
Scott :nice:

I will call them and see what they can do. If I can get some money back for their mistake, that will be great.

nice wheel is zat your foot Justin :nice:

Good afternoon Guys, I just woke up from a long nap. Thats what old guys do best sleep and pass gas....:o

Justin, make sure that's the color you want. Don't settle just because they goofed. :nice:

...+1.... The black looks good but will show every friggin speck of dust and dirt....

Todays drag race results???? Did Darrell and Tom go head to head or at least Saleen to Saleen???? :dunno: What's the poop guys????

Yeah ! where is everyone ? they must have a life and be outside enjoying the weather !......:dunno:

Maybe they are picking up each others rods on the track!!!:jester:

Oh man! wouldn't that be something! Personally I think dly is at a big disadvantage with the 700 pounds of carbon fiber he has on his car....:jester:

We sure are being awful mean toward them and they are no where around to defend themselfs. Maybe they are licking each other's wounds!! :jester:

I hope its wounds there licking on each other.....:jester:

:eek::eek::eek::eek: Man they are going to be mean to us when they see these posts.:jester:

You dill holes should read a little better...... the strip is tomorrow, not today. Hoping I can make it. :nice:

It wouldn't be the first time bro !....:rofl2:

What do you expect from two old guy's named Scott.............:jester:

I would not expect anything less......


Or more either, come to think of it. :rofl2:

STD you are a dill hole!!!:rofl2: Didn't you remember it was tomorrow!!! :banghead: Now we have to go thru this again!!! :jester:

I had to survive 2 hours of Disney on Ice today at Fort Wayne coliseum...... :screwy:

At least it wasn't Barry Manilow on Ice...


Funny for the day -

You brought it up butt head ! and now your blaming me ...:dunno: I can sure tell your in management............:poke::jester:

I didn't realize you and Darrell went to see fairy's on ice together!....:jester:

Those rims look familiar! I got your gunmetals :grin:

Not a bad idea if you are truly happy with the color.

You can drive out to my house and pop one of mine on your car if you want to see how the gunmetal looks. They are currently loose in the garage, and the cars on 3 floor jacks and 2 jack stands, lol.
I was installing rotors, cleaning calipers, and planned on painting them but ran out of time and temperature. Will paint them tomorrow once it hits 60 degrees.

and of course, unfinished pics.

Looking good Stoenr. You must not drive her in the rain. She looks aweful clean underneath. What color are you go with on the calipers?
Scott

Good one Chris. :nice:




:doh::nana:

Good Morning ! guys....you too back stabber.....oop's I mean Scott....:poke::jester:

I'm thinking I want the black ones anyway, wasn't sure at first. It'll look freaking awesome. :grin: I'm usually driving the Escort to work and back anyway so the Mustang won't be driven as many miles this summer as last year (14k last year from March to October). The darker rims will hide the brake dust too.

Thanks. It has been my daily driver since 10/05. With 2 1/2 winters. I would clean it from the underside at work on a lift with the wheels off twice a year. It needs to be done again in fact.

240 miles and 19 mpg average later, and I'm back from Osceola Dragway!

The Brenspeed crew was there and Darrell came out as promised..... it was great to see everyone again! Made three passes...... first was a horrible 12.5.

BUT, then the 2nd and 3rd passes...... :

11.854 and 11.861! :metal::metal:Finally smashed out of the 12s and into the 11s with the help from my new M&H racemasters! I'm stoked! It is now officially beer :30 for me here at the house! :nice:

I will let Darrell tell about his times.... he met his goal and should be happy! :nice:

Great news that you got out of the 12's Tom. :nice: What did you do different...easy up a little at the line?:dunno: That's what some say helps their times the most. What was you MPH on those 11 runs?? Come in Darrell...what was your times.:dunno: I would be curious what my car would run but you can't tell Karen or it would be divorce court for me..:jester: Maybe STD will come out and we can put the 2 auto's up head to head!!:jester:
Scott

Tom congratulations ! I'm glad to see your work is showing up for you..:metal:

Well I'm exhausted from my 30 minute drive home from OC Drags. Now be nice and remember that this is my very 1st time racing at a Drag strip. First of all wihen I got there I needed to turn around and go to the Wally World down the street to buy some long pants as I was wearing Shorts. Found Tommie and the Brenspeed crew. Watched for a little bit and learned how to do the staging and burn outs. First run I was up against a Automatic Mustang...Reaction time .3669 60ft.....2.36 ET :idea: was 14.80 at 99.97mph Spinning tires all the way down the strip and letting off to early and loss.
Second run was agaist a white vette Reaction .3488 60ft. 2.30 ET13.51 at 107.94:grin:
plus he fouled but I still beat him down the strip.
Third and final run was agaist a new BMW M3(??) reaction .225 60ft. 2.33 ET 13.73 at 106.90 and I beat him by .1742.
Not great times or speed but for the 1st time I'm happy, no damage to the car. Brent offer to let me run some Drag Radials but I didn't take him up on the offer.
Tommie was flying and I could :banghead: For forgetting my Camera's and not getting any pictures or video.
All in all it was a great day:metal:

Sounds good Darrell !....:nice:

Hey Darrell,
I can make you feel better. My first time at the strip and first run down the strip was March 27th 1997. I owned a 96 Cobra with a Kennebell supercharger on it running 10 lbs of boost. Short story...I blew it up. So I would say you are light years ahead of me!!!!! :metal: Sounds like you had fun at least!!!:nice:
Scott

Scott, my MPH was 119. What I did different this time was actually not much different than before, except before I could not get traction. This time, light turns green- rev and dump the clutch and hold on.... shift fast because 2nd gear comes quick LOL. On the 11's the front-end feels like it's coming off the ground. :metal:

:metal::metal::metal::metal:AWESOME!!!!!!:metal:

Top gun that be good! .....Now correct your rake ( nose down ) and see even lower times. Its simple physics!..........and a old track rat saying ( when the nose is a rising so are your Eta's ..........learn from the Old Hippie (STD) just like 70MACH1OWNER did in the Aluminum drive shaft thread..........:rofl2:

Hello all!
Darrell,
How did the Bridal Shower go? Got one here next Sat. myself.I'll be glad when the wedding is done, waaay too much work.

O.K., besides all the work around the house I did get 2 things done to the Stang. Installed the delete plates & fixed my water leak.
Delete plate install was easy, no issues. I did notice a SLIGHT loss in low-end torque, very minor though. No real difference otherwise. We'll see the next dyno how much I actually picked up
Water leak; I'd read about the issue with some 05-07's. Once last year, I noticed a musty smell when I got in the car. No damp carpet, I've been checking every rain, no problems. I guess we had a heavy day of rain when I was in Dallas. When I got home, I found 1/4" of water on my pass side floor. Pulled the carpet & pad, dried everything off. Time to deal with this. Local dealer only has the 'water leak' guy in every other Tues for 2hrs. Poohey on that:bad:
There is a large harness that enters the cabin behind the pass. side
inner fender splash shield. The feed-through grommet is where most folks are having the issue with. Pulled my inner fender & found mine not fully seated, the way the harness pulls on it, it'd be hard to get it in correctly. Mine had a nice gap @ the bottom. I sealed all around the grommet with an aviation sealer we use, but silicone or similar would work as well. I've attached photos of the culprit.Just above that area is where all the water funnels down from off the windshield,wiper area. Easy fix, took me about an hour total. The inner fenderwell is only held in place with plastic push-pins.

Scott,
I'm kinda getting used to the exhaust. Has a nice snarl to it. **** loud when you open it up:jester:
I'm going to stick with mine the way it is for now. Have to get those mounts next & then some sequentials.

Congrats on you breaking into the 11's Tom:nice:


Thats about my longest post ever, probably be a week or 2 for my next:rofl2:

Hi Larry!!!! :wave::wave::wave:

Hi Larry- glad to hear that you're on top of that water leak problem- it can be a real biotch. :nice:

:kick::kick::slap::slap::nana::nana::spank::spank:


Okay...so my math isn't that great. :poke::jester: At least someone finally did what it takes to get the answer out in the open. Kudos to Ron!!!

Forgot the pics:banghead:
Been a long weekend

Hello all!
Darrell,
How did the Bridal Shower go? Got one here next Sat. myself.I'll be glad when the wedding is done, waaay too much work.


I'm just glad it is over:hail::hail:

[quote=70MACH1OWNER;5544065] Thats ok ! your still my hero ...:love:....:jester:

When did guys start going to bridal showers! :whip:

I think there dad's just paying for them.......believe me you'll do anything to get a women out of the house.........:rofl2::jester:

ahahaa hahhaa :lol: :rofl2:

Oh, I know, I "have" been married.

Hey it only cost me $800 for lunch and a show yesterday and I got to do half the dishes. What a deal:mad:

Darrell the joys of parenthood! been there and done that !....:nice:

Hey, Larry will you tear the driver side open and take some pics ....:jester: I found a wet spot on the driver side of my Stang yesterday....but I my have just wet down my leg .....who knows at my age....:rofl2:

STD,
I'll gladly pull your drivers side down @ the next Stangstock:poke:

Actually, it's real easy, hardest part is jacking it up & taking the wheel off.
Guess we're getting to the age where we'll have to start carrying 'Depends' :rofl2:

I'm looking forward to meeting you Larry....:nice: As far as the depends, 70MACH1OWNER Say's he likes the bikini cut...but I think he's kinda kinky....:jester:

Interesting - it does not look like a place that would see much water... It must run down from the top?

[quote=70MACH1OWNER;5544065]Scott,
Kudos to Ron, how about kudos to Robert!:poke:We've been saying all along that there is no need to adjust pinion angle with an aluminum driveshaft on a lowered Mustang and nobody believed us. Now the superhero does a 180 on this issue and you believe him. Must be the superhero name.:dunno:If i start going by "supershaft" or "Shaftman" and declare that I am a new superhero in the galaxie who is able to leap tall buildings with a single bound would that help.:poke:Just call me Rodney Dangerfield. "I tell you, I get no respect around here"!
Robert

I was thinking that "Shaftmaster" would be the coolest superhero name of all...... :grin:

By the way, the 3.5" held up great at the track yesterday. :nice:

Glad to hear that and congratulations on your times at the track. If we went with Shaftmasters as our superhero name then what would you suggest as being our superhero power?:lol:My wife would probably say "the quickest shaft in the midwest" but I wouldn't care for that one!

hhahahaa sounds like your wife and my wife would get along well.:rofl2:

[quote=shaftmasters;5544338]
Kudo's to Rodney.:jester: My kudo's to Ron was for going thru the effort to provide us we the knowledge of what the P/A truely does when these cars are lowered. :)

[quote=70MACH1OWNER;5544374]:lol:He may have provided you some knowledge :poke: but all he really did was reinforce what myself and a certain other person had been trying to tell you for about 50 posts and that is you have to practically drop the frigging Stang in the dirt before there is any significant pinion angle change....:grin: When you get that shrine built in the honor of Ron will you take a pic of it and post it for me !....:poke::jester:

Good stuff guys, nice runs! :nice:

[quote=blkstang06;5544432]
If you and the certain other person you speak of were that convinced you were always right why did you buy that UCA to fix a non existant problem? :poke::jester:

[quote=70MACH1OWNER;5544443]Its called insurance !... I'm sure my currant marriage will last too! but I still had her sign a prenuptial agreement ...:nice: Also Scott as I have stated before there are more benefits to installing the J&M adj UCA besides pinion angle adjustment, the way the booty on the stang responds now is noticeably better.....Oprah is going to be real jealous!...:rofl2:

My nexted mod after the stripes...

Are those high flow cats or resonators? Reason I ask is if they are cats they should be between the 02 sensors. Right?

[quote=blkstang06;5544449]STD and Tom281 are our superheros. Not for buying our product but for supporting the concept of free enterprise in this country of ours.
Rodney

We all know that every Superhero has a sidekick. Right?

Tom, it is wide open...

So true Chris, so true.....

Batman & Robin......

Lone Ranger & Tonto.....

And STD & Old Indian Dude: the true, geriatric dynamic duo.

:lol: :rofl2:

Old Indian Dude got to drop the top this afternoon and take a nice drive for about 1 1/2 hrs after work. That sun felt pretty good after the winter we had. 73 degree here. Now it's supposed to rain for the next 5 days. :banghead:

Scott, glad to hear you got the top down and did some cruising. I drove my vert around the block on Saturday night- does that count? LOL it hadn't really moved since October.

That be the Pypes X pipe and those are high flow cats, Probable need O2 extensions or just plug them....

[quote=shaftmasters;5544568]Robert, your new avatar cracked me up man !....:rofl2:and you can bet I believe in free enterprise....competition thru quality products and competitive pricing. I know Shaftmaster's feels like Dangerfield right now, but just remember everybody admired Rodney and when he passed he was worth over a 100,000,000 bucks.....:nice:

:lol:all I can say to this is....

Here's a good one.

STD on the right.... me on the left!! :poke::jester:


http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...,294_SS90_.jpg

:rofl2:Thats all right as long as you don't want on top !...:jester: I dont know what pic you tried to post but must have been bad ...

Here Ya go ! I've posted my current avatar before ....some of you old goats like myself should know what actor this is and what Super hero he is portraying !

It was just a picture of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau from the movie Grumpy Old Men. The picture was there after I posted it. What's up with that? You were Walter by the way.:rofl2:
Scott

I'm supposed to be going to Byron Dragway on Saturday, but the weather might have other plans. Car is going to the dealer tomorrow morning for the fuel pump to be changed. I have to put the stock intake and tune back on it this afternoon, then re-install at the track on Saturday if I go.

I got to be the dead guy ? thanks a lot....:rofl2:

good luck ! post some pics if you can....:metal:

[quote=blkstang06;5545371]I got to be the dead guy ? thanks a lot....:rofl2:

Well hopefully if we ever meet face to face some day I hope you at least smell better than ole Walt.:D Right??
