Back this evening myself.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

Got lots of car care stuff & a Mustang t-shirt myself

Put little over 500m on the recent header install; need to shift the engine little to the right,I'm rubbing the steering shaft on corners & got 1 ck engine light, rich O2 sensor.It cleared & hasn't come back. Kinda liking the current exhaust setup,I'll forgo the straight H until spring.

Welcome home Larry,
Maybe you need to look into some Prothane motor mounts to control the engine moving side to side on those squishy stock mounts. I may trying to massage that pipe on the headers that rubs on the steering shaft before putting mine on. If you know what I mean. BFH!

Hey, Guys! and you too, 70MACH10WNER Take a look at this pic! it's of the CAI on Bullitt 95# for sale on ebay for the "Buy It Now" price of 37,900 . Notice the CAI filter "crunched" also looks like the filter's nose attach's to the intake shroud!

Tom,
Did you do the install of your head unit on your car? If so have any pointer as too how to get the dash apart? We are putting a new unit in my son's car.

Ben-

Open the console and remove the 2 screws..... raise the parking brake lever and begin to pull up on the entire top console piece from the rear to the front..... it will come right off. Then, remove the two side forward console pieces (the ones that are vertical and that your knees always hit) by pulling them straight towards you. Once you have this stuff off, you can gently pull the entire radio/HVAC fascia towards you; however you'll probably only get it about 3-4" from it's mounting point before you have to start unplugging the wiring harnesses from it. From here on out, its a piece of cake.

I'm still waiting for my GT/CS bumpers to come, then I can have my buddy at a body shop paint and install them. I guess I just have to be patient due to the holidays.

Ha Ha... I have accually have had my eye on this guys stuff but somewhere is his post I think the parts are still on the car. Thought about buying his Sydieshaft about a month ago. He is trying to see what he can sell before he removes it. Besides..picked up the mail today from being out of town last week and the credit card bill made it. Once the smoke clears we'll see. We hit that puppy pretty hard last month. You could be a nice guy and buy them now and give them to me as a birthday present in February. Whatca think?

Tom,

Did you have to override a parking brake switch to play DVD while moving? This unit also has something called a reverse switch. duh Any info? Looks like we won't get done today, the idiot at Best Buy sold us the wrong wiring harness.

Well I hope I have fixed my blow by oil problem. I found a Stef's oil separtator on ebay for 45 bucks (over 100 bucks from Stef's). Installed it this last Sunday and then pulled it out of the Garage and warmed it up for about 30 minutes. Battery was a little weak but I'll put a charger on it next day off to charge it up. I also painted the TB and Steeda's MAF housing. Still looking for the right size Disco ball for the proper pictures.

Back to the Stef's tank. I have a short 3" long hose from the valve cover to the tank, I could put a 12" long hose on it both are Earl's SS Hoses. I'm not sure which would be better for the Vaccum it will make.

Also looking to go to the Chicago area 46th Annual Carquest WorldofWheels.com car show on the 26th or 27th of Jan., going to take the South Shore Train right to McCommick Place station. South Shore station here in town is only 3 or 4 miles from my house.

Oh and Happy New Year

Yes, on my Pioneer AVIC D3, I used a bypass that I found on the net. The reverse switch is usually for either a navigation headunit or a rear camera input, or both..... what kind of headunit are you installing?

It's snowing pretty hard down here now. Depends who I listen to as far as what we are supposed to get. Weather channel says 1-2 today..3-5 tonight and 1 tomorrow. Local weather says about the same except only 1-2 tonight.

My drive home from work last night was no fun, none of the roads out here were plowed. Rt. 90 was clean, other than that, was very messy.
