You traded in 3 cars and a bike? Or you mean better then all of those. Ive thought about getting a sport bike but I think I would die on it. Soo.... I choose life over gas milage in my case. Still love them though

Oh, you must mean a flea market up there, I thought you meant the red barn.

Hey Susan

Bill, I looked at a lot of the lenses and you can drop several thousand dollars without blinking an eye and still need more. I love my camera and I wish I could find that "perfect" utility lens that won't set me back a grand and still take decent pics. If I'm going to spend 3K on a lens I'd rather put 2K to a rotating assembly and the remaining 1K on extras...

Just that pic and as close as it was to mine in composition really made think how crappy mine really is.

Oh Mustang news.....

I think I have a loose exhaust hanger or something on the driver's side pipe. It makes this stupid springy-squeak any time I go over a bump and it is driving me nuts. Figured it was the drivers side when I could replicate it by bumping the tip with my foot.

Maybe I oughta get under there and do the UCA at the same time Just have to make sure I can do the pinion adjustment correctly.

I wonder if your midpipe and/or over-axle has shifted back a bit?

If so, this may be your problem..




Leo had this problem a while back when he had the Flows on. The Muffler was positioned too far back, thus causing that squeaking noise between the hanger rod and the frame.

AWESOME

Thanks, I'm going to look at that right after work. Man I hope that's what it is. It just started so it should be something simple. Good lord it's driving me crazy though.

And if it's not that, at least you ruled that one out.

I had a similar problem, but mine was the actual hanger rods on the mufflers themselves... The weld job must not have been the greatest, because the welding had come apart just enough to squeak and drive me insane! It took me a while to track it down, but once I did, I had a friend re-weld the spots and viola, no more problems... So if it isn't what Bill mentioned above, check the welds... All I had to do was move the muffler around by hand, and I finally was able to track the squeak to the weld spots...

Anyway, I thought I'd drop in my 2 cents worth from my experiences...

Just waiting to here back from ST to see what how much extra they charge to install GT500 pump instead of a BAP. Depending on what they say I'll make the final decision between BAP and GT500 pump. I'll place the order for the IC, Plugs, and BAP/GT500 with D'Agostino Racing later this week.

SC is on the way and has a delivery date of Friday. Aiming for an install date of Nov. 7 worst case scenario the 14th.

I feel like a kid counting the days till Christmas.

I swear Leo, if you get yours installed and on the road before me, I'mma off myself.


Well, maybe not that extreme, but there will be some definite self-inflicted pain.

Well you better tell Greg he better quit f'n around and have your car finished by then.

BTW-I'm 99.9% sure I'm going with ST.

Brembo's got delivered today. These things are massive, pictures don't do these big brakes justice. And tomorrow my new rims/tires arrive

I'm definitely going to MOSI - I never miss it!

--------------------------

Anybody ever end up with an oil filter relocator?

To make more room around the wastegate, I ordered two from Summit - a single and a dual. Then I can try to find a place for each to mount and send back the one that doesn't work out as good.
