Hey Richard, I'm not letting Brian take all the blame. I have to apologize, I just have to get you into our rotation of events. It's difficult because life is so crazy sometimes and I get distracted easily. I installed my rotors with Jed today and it was a last minute, almost spontaneous, mod party with just the two of us. I remembered late this evening that it would have been a perfect time to call you but I was so focused on packing up the car and not forgetting anything. So... I'm sorry.

I knew about Moroso's coolant expansion tank and power steering tank. Then after I saw them in real life on Sal's stang I decided to get them there coming from JEGS! I like the coolant tank because it can use the stock cap. Muhahahah!

Hey Sal, if you order from Rotor Pros, do it by phone and ask if a TMS or forum discount still applies. I think mine were $225 shipped. I think some guys got them for $220 shipped. Good luck!

Silver will go good with your rims
Blue would be unique but maybe distracting over time
Black always a great choice, I bought the all black zinc rotor and after the pads "bed" the black coating where its slotted and drilled finally wore off and the zinc disc shows.

It is a permanent state of mind. It only changes when it gets damaged like when I hit my head on your jack stand today!

Here ya go David! I half the recipe when using the Martinelli 1/2 gallon jug.

Apple Pie Shooters

1 gallon good apple cider/juice
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 750ml Bacardi 151

Heat the apple cider, cinnamon, and sugar on the stove and bring to a boil. Let the mixture cool to just above room temperature then add the fifth of 151 and stir will. You can make it a bit more potent by only adding a half gallon of apple cider.

Refrigerate. Serve chilled.

Another idea instead of a shot…
Mix in blender with some ice and made an "Apple Pie Smoothie".

Good deal Jed!

Going to have them plated or hand polish them?

Good job Ray! Glad you installed the rotors in the correct rotational direction.

Jared from Saleen...A Saleen sleeper can be ordered by any certified Saleen dealer as an option. We just put the 475hp supercharger on the car as soon as it leaves the Ford plant and ship it to the dealership! The cars are not serialized. They can come in auto or manual and comes with a full factory warranty.
Order the cheapest bare bones mustang gt + saleen sleeper option = WIN

I like it too, sans the graphics.
If they actually sell it at MSRP, it's a great deal. Lord knows I dumped (and still dumping) waaaaay more into my car.

That's another good option. But, when you start modding other stuff, it's a sleepah no mo'!

Sorry I'm so late! I can't keep up with you guys!!!

Just wanted to say thank you so much to Brian and his parents for having us over this weekend. It was a warm welcome to a very fun BBQ. The food was great! It was great seeing everyone again. Thanks for taking a girl rookie under your wing.

Can't wait for the next gathering. Hopefully I'll have something new to show off other than my crappy stripe job.

Hey Leo why not just take a small loan say 6 - 7K and do the Whipple thing? 38K + markup, minus your car as trade in may not get you at the price you want. Unless of course if you want a change of pace heck take the plundge!
