Morning all

Scott,
Great job with the vids, they all captured the sound well.
Sure did tone it down alot. Those ones actually 'muffle' the exhaust,big difference from the GTA's.

crappy weather here, that's for sure :shame:

Nuts I'll be working 12 hr midnights that weekend.:shame:

A little on the cold side, but no precipitation here at least.
To wash the car or not to wash the car, that is the question.

Oh come on Darrell, you work too much.........



(especially for a man of your age :poke:)



:lol:

It was raining and a little bit of snow mixed in at times yesterday. This weather sucks. :bad:

Getting a little brighter here tonight. Got my Steeda Pentars and Nitto's back on the car but it ain't going no where in this weather. Rain and snow flurries. They say it will be nicer tomorrow. Maybe this is the last of that winter crap!!!
Scott:mad:

Whats the cheapest 17" wheel anybody was found. Just in case I find some Drag Radials at my front door sometime in the future.:dunno:

I'd look here first. Pick the wheel type you like.

http://stores.ebay.com/Brenspeeds-Stang-Recycler


And then I would look at takeoffparts.com
Scott

I was thinkin of grabbing 2 of these just for the drag radials I already have
http://cruizinconceptswholesale.com/...D17X9A&cat=215
They at least are a close match to what I run now so it wont look that odd.

America Muscle was the same style of wheels about the same price plus 6% off if you know the discount code. Brenspeed doesn't have 9" wide wheels.:banghead:

Darrell if you do drag radials, you could always do the ET streets that Brenspeed uses and they work with the 8' tire.

where? I looked, 18's only for the S197 offset, or I could go with the 17" SN95 offset.
and they were 129

http://www.americanmuscle.com/bl20mubuwh1.html

pm them for a 6% discount code, they don't like it out in the open
morning all

'morning, chicklets.

WTH is STD at? :poke:

Good morning everyone! I installed my intake and tune again, car runs great. Hopefully the weather will be good on Saturday so I can test my new mods at Byron Dragway.

Weather here is supposed to be in the 70s by the weekend! :banana:

I kind of want the FR500 wheel. it will better match up to my CT-R's.
Already have and used the discount code :D

looked up an old bud that was on my shift at the Fire Dept when I was his Captain. He works at a big Truck tire Store. He's seeing how much he can get the Drag Radials for. They will be BFG's.:D

You know the old saying Darrell...It's not who you know but who you......:D Good luck with the knew tire search!!
Scott

Darrell, if you want BFG drag radials I have a good hookup on a set (2 pair, actually) of 315/35/17s for $140 each. Brand new.

Yeah I have to agree. I have sent him like 3 or 4 PM's in the last couple of days with no response. I saw him on here yesterday morning several times. What's up with you STD ??? Who will pick on us any better than you????:dunno:

Scott, I thought STD was still duct-taped to your trunklid, holding that camera while you made your exhaust vids. :rofl2:

Just got back from my club meeting, some new dates

Michina Mustang Show at Concord Mall in Elkhart, In. August 9th

Club date at the Tire Rack Test Track Sept 20

Tom I might be interested in those tires

Just let me know..... when I stopped by the local shop to have my M&H's mounted, the owner (long time acquantance) said he wished I would have told him I was looking for DR's, he has 2 sets of these that he ordered for Lingenfelter Performance (Corvette gods; their shop is here in town) but they backed out.

315/35R17
LL Treadwear: 0
Traction: B
Temperature: C0 B C


ouch Tire Rack says I need a 11" rim for that size:dunno:

1433 lbs.
44 psi
6/32"
28 lbs.11-12"
11"
12.4"
NA
25.6"
804

I'd think a 10" wheel anyway...... :dunno:

Well let's see...

Glenn must be working........

Ben must be saying "play artist Kiss"

Larry must be traveling.......

STD, well who knows- sitting in Oprah's live audience? :dunno:

Cody doesn't have internet access yet from moving......

Scott is "Acting" like he's working......

John is recoving from rum and coke. :rofl2:

dly is sleeping......

And the other hooligans are off doing who know's what? :dunno:

Im working, but not now, home for lunch. Yumm, sloppy joes!

I accually just got back from Indiana about 30 minutes ago. Will be on the road all day tomorrow to northwest Ohio. Drove the stang today and really like the sound of the Maggies.

That's good Scott!

I drove my car today, and I think that I've got the one wheel peel syndrome...... :doh: I plan to go back out in a little bit and test it out again- I wonder if my clutch bands in the rear end are bad. :dunno:

Well, a five second burnout starting in 2nd gear and holding it provided about 30' worth of dual, thick black marks and some smoking Nittos. :dunno:

Very good my friend...I am thinking your clutch and pressure plate are going to give up before the clutches in your butt will.....
:jester:

LOL I hope so...... my butt is already broken- there's a crack right down the middle!

:rofl3:

:lol::eek::eek:


We share the same problem. :jester: I guess!

Tom,
Still here;)
Been popping in, just after my last 2 lengthy posts, got no words of wisdom:dunno:

Water leak appears to be fixed, had some good rain over last week & gave car a bath yesterday & all nice & dry inside.

Scott,
I'm glad you're happy with the Maggies. After listening to your vids a bunch of times & past few weeks of driving & finally hearing mine, I'm sticking with the current setup I've got. I'm sure the in-cabin tone is different between my coupe & your vert. Everyone has their preferences & I'm liking the snarl mine has now. I'll spend that 400 on some mounts, sequentials & suspension stuff. IF I recover from this upcoming wedding that is:doh:

Loving this weather, long overdue for spring.

I had my car out all afternoon too, nice weather for it. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow too. :nice:

Morning guys,
Up and out early this morning for a road trip to notheren Ohio. Yak later. Supposed to be a great day for a drive.
Glad you got your water leak fixed Larry. :nice:

Larry I was wondering about your leak too....... good to hear you got'er fixed. :nice::nice:

Funny for the day...

Morning

good stuff Red

I'll be taking the 'stang out for a little drive later too, it's nice out. I had a few things to do on the Escort to get it caught up on maintenance this morning, so now it's fun time! :nice:

Funny stuff Chris. I whacked that monkey good!!!:jester:



\

What time do you get out of bed Glenn? I say good morning at 5AM and you say it at 11:30AM :jester::poke:




I got to drive the car today also Justin. At least to work and back. I hope all the rest of you Midwest guys got your Stangs out today. I bet you did. Seems spring has sprung finally for a few days anyway. My car got bird poop on it and I was smashing bugs on the way home this evening. But that is okay. It beats salted road and shoveling snow. :banghead:

Hi everyone..... I've been driving the pee out of the car this week. Just turned 18,000 miles today. :nice:

My winter beater just turned 130k today

You didn't drive the stang today. :poke: I checked the weather in your area today and it looked nice. The way this winter has been use every possible chance.
Scott:metal:

Still alive! checking in!

Hey Cody...good to here from you again. What's the latest on the house deal. Just waiting for closing and the big move??
Scott

yeah...the house i'm selling was inspected today...so as long as all of those things like that go alright, I'll be in the clear....closing on April 30th...moving May 1st.

It's nice to see the weather improving so we can enjoy driving our cars again! I had a blast this afternoon, great weather to be out cruising. :D As long as the weather is good Saturday I will be at Byron Dragway to see how much faster my car is with the new mods.

hahaha mine should turn 100k this month. :D

Hey meathead, good to hear from you! :banana:

Sorry Cody..... probably your best bet is to pickup new lock cylinders and keys. But I don't know, never had it happen to me- only guessing.

Morning all...Sorry to hear about your misfortune Cody. It sure was a beautiful day yesterday for a Vert ride.:metal:

Be smart !... Be like blkstang06 and Iron Man........http://www.royalpurple.com/index.html

Hey STD's back!

Didn't feel any earthquake here....... nope.

On a different note, TacoBill finished his Vortech install- all except for the Boost A Pump (which he thought he didn't need because some people told him he didn't)...... and the engine blew on the test drive. Checkout the Ponies on the Run thread if you want more info.

Hey Scotty glad your back. I didn't feel the quake either as I was in the car driving to work. But they came on the radio and said it was felt in our area. I can't believe that about TacoBill engine. I will have to check it out.

I felt it here, Woke up to the the wife screaming ''Honey'' and the bed shaking, its been awhile since I had that kinda action in bed !...to bad it was just a earth quake....:rofl2:On tacobill popping his motor its a shame ! but if he didn't install the BAP and if he thought he and his shade tree mechanic buddy's knew more than Brent He was a fool !!,...well welcome to the world of going fast!....I'm afraid there is going to be a lot of finger pointing going on and you wait and see .. people will try blame this on Brent !

Well, due to the weather forecast, looks like I might be racing on Sunday instead. I'll need to see if they approve my day off for Sunday now too. I have tomorrow off since I thought that was when I would be going.

Hey Justin..I hope you can get off on Sunday and the weather goes your way. Try and post some vids if you can.
Scott:nice:

I didnt feel it either...kinda dissapointed...other people around here did....went golfing yesterday...shot a 94...

Not a bad score. I play only about 6 times a year and shoot in the mid 90's. I found the more I play the worse I get. Must be practicing my bad habits too much!!:p

Who has time for golf? I figured you guys would like playing with your "putz". :D

Tommy....:slap: Hope you got to drive the stang today!! Does your dad call you Tommy??:D

I did drive the car today- every day this week actually and it is FILTHY.

Got my new alternator installed last night and got my trouble code(s) figured out and solved. :D May head outside now and clean up the interior atleast.

Good to hear you got her fixed!!

silent night..... :D

Just got home from work, but I got to go in tomorrow for only 8 hours. I'm at about 50+ hours overtime for this 2 week pay check.

Got to read more about Taco Bill's bad problems.

Morning all. Well the weekend is here and so is the rain again. :banghead:

Hi Darrell.......

Yep. :banghead:

OK, here is my weekly check-in.

Felt the Quake and a 4.1 aftershock about 11:15 at the office.

Cody, hope the key thing works out, to not be a problem.

Larry, hope you survive the whole wedding thing.

Yep, sorry to here about TacoBill. His posts have helped alot of people on here. I even thought about a BAP just form my little 100 shot just to be even more conserative.

Haven't driven the car in over 2 weeks. May drive it to work 1 day next week.

Raining here today, between showers will be working on the yard and de-winterizing the boat.

YO !!

link to the ponies on the run thread please. I wonder if he can take the sc back off and try a warranty claim for that
I felt the quake it was good for me lol

Good Morning all, couldn't drag my @ss out of bed this morning to go to work so I guess this is a day off.

Hey Tom here's a new saleen water pump to go with your bigger intercooler.
Attachment 57059

:poke:

I got tomorrow off work so I can go to the track. :nice: I'll let you guys know what the car runs, I'm expecting around 13.5 or so with the JLT intake, Bama tunes, and Steeda under-drive pullies.

Good luck !....:nice:

:lol::lol:


Good luck! :nice:

I think you'll hit 13.3
No stickes? I was running 13.3 with those mods. Added O/R-H and DR's and hello 12.8's
and of course shifting like a mad man.

Hey Tom

Here's some more reading for you on charging

http://www.mustangforums.com/m_4945629/tm.htm

Yeah I read all of that, and a bunch of other stuff too. My problem is that my wiring looks fine, there are no splices anywhere on any wire, it's a new alternator and still throws codes, etc. etc.

So now I'm wondering:

1) is the camshaft position sensor bad?
2) do I have a problem elsewhere that's tripping that sensor?

Funny thing is, both alternators charge up like a SOB, car runs strong, no battery issues (still on the stocker for almost 3 years) and all connections are tight.

Well I wish I could help you but I am a mechanic not an electrican. :banghead: Your problem seems to me not to be the alternator but something else. :dunno: I really don't understand how the cam position sensor can cause you to throw an alternator code but....... can you give me some more info?
Scott:nice:

anyone ....please ;)

Glen here is the thread- skip forward about 2 years- don't try reading from the beginning LOL! :rofl2:

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=432873

Scott, research the TSB that Ford has out. A common problem on 05/06 alternators is that they go bad- when they start to fail, the begin to emit a tone (you can't hear it with human ears) and the camshaft position sensor picks this tone up and it faults out. The TSB will replace the alternator under warranty (assuming you don't have something like a...... blower...... or something like that hahahaaa)

This is why I went ahead and purchased a new alternator, however it didn't help.

Oh my....yeah you think the Midwest thread is long. :eek:

I will do that. Could the problem be that funky music you listen too??:poke::jester:

One of my friends said today she expects a text message after every run I make to let her know what kind of time I run. I don't have slicks but I do have some pretty good shifting skills. Time to put my new Grabber Pony shift knob to the test.

good luck!

Baby Doll, won her first Indy race!....http://www.indycar.com/index2.php and a all expense paid weekend with STD what a lucky girl !.....:metal::jester:

She is a cutie and she is one heck of a racer. Lot's of guts in that little 105 lb body. She deserves to win. As far as that grand prize goes......:confused::jester:

:rofl2:She is a spinner..and your right, shes a tough little cookie, unlike those NASCAR Sissy's, Indy cars have no power steering, its all elbow grease.

hahhaa "spinner", I haven't heard that for a while. :rofl2:

Thanks Tom ... Bill can't have more than 4k miles on that thing??
