Yes, they are HUGE... so everybody can see it's a V6 from really far away.

But don't worry... at least your rocker panels aren't black. Oh wait...

 

Daryl- Well I guess I'll hang onto it in case the wife gets pregnant. BTW like the new avatar.

Tom- Once I get the H-pipe there will be alot more of this if they think it's a pony.

Bill- I asked the other Tom about his CEL and he said the light came on but he didn't have any drivablity problems because of it.

 

That's good to hear. But, honestly, I think the tune will be on its way sooner than you think.

 

Ahh, forget the poll! Follow your heart!

If I left my decision to cut a hole in my hood to a poll, I know for a fact that I would not be a part of the Shaker Club today.

 

Daryl, I know you exprimented with page 5 of the wallpapers... so how they look on the Alpine screen?

 

I think you know me to well. I probably won't be able to hold out till Oct.

After finding a few more pics of black stangs with painted chins I think I'm leaning towards the painted. The biggest thing holding me back from the painted one is the eventual heartache when I scrape it and the paint chips. Or just over time rocks and other road debris chipping the paint.

I wonder if there's some kind of spray on protectant or something thats not noticable that I can do to prevent it.

 

ClearBra may be your answer. You'll have to find a dealer that'll custom fit one onto the CDC spoiler.

 

You may not notice any drivability issues, but you may notice a slight drop in MPG. Those oxygen sensors measure air/fuel ratio before and after the cats. With no cats, the rear oxygen sensor(s) aren't seeing what the computer wants to be seeing, so it throws a light.

When cruising, the computer will slow down the pulse rate of the injectors because you don't need as much gas to maintain a given speed. With the air/fuel messed up, this may not work properly.

The MIL illiminators (or the tune) will fix the problem by feeding the computer what it would normally see with the cats installed.

 

TKS for the explanation Tom. I was just wondering since I don't plan on getting the tuner for a few more weeks. I didn't want to buy mil eliminators temporarily just to have them sit at my house once the tuner arrived. I'm just trying to make sure it doesn't cause any long term problems or short term that would require going to the dealer.

 

It won't cause any long term problems. I'm not sure if the light will turn off once the computer is satisfied, though. I think it would, but I don't know. You used to be able to just unhook the battery to get rid of a light, but not sure about now.

 

From what I've read, once you upload a tune, it'll turn off the light (if it even comes on at all in the short time between the H-Pipe install and tune).

 

Tks for the heads up. Mustang sill decals and 14" antenna arrived today!! Just finished installing my pony emblems and taking some pics of the car.

 

Here's my attempt at Bill install write up.

Pony fender emblem install.

And here's pics of the antenna I bought.

 

Well like I said my antenna and my Mustang sill decals arrived today. Well I get all excited thinking hey cool I'm going to go install my decals along with the antenna and pony emblems. Well to my shock and amazement the cheap I3astards at Mustang Tuning only included one set of decals!!! What kinda BS is that what happens if I mess one letter up then I'm SOL. Needless to say I haven't attempted to install those yet.

 

Got this of AOL.

Here is what it said about certain car colors (listed in order of most dangerous to least)*
Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.

Silver cars indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.

Green cars can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.

Yellow cars signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving.

Blue cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver.

Gray cars represent those who are calm, sober and dedicated to their work.

Red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive and who think, move and talk quickly.

Pink cars are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers.

White cars represent status-seeking extrovert drivers.

Cream cars are the least likely to be involved in accidents and denote self-contained and controlled owners.

 

Tom I called Brenspeed and they said it's shipping out today. So it may or may not get here by friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Like I mentioned in your other post, they good good. Are you happy with them?


I think I can help you out there. Install them before you come over to install the H and if you need replacement letters, I can hook you up.


Friday will be tough.. did you get a tracking number? If not, get one.
When was your SD show?

 

From Leo's posts, Black is his color.

Daryl's a reflective and cautious driver?

And Tom? Status Seeking Extrovert?

Me and Susan are right on!

 

Yes. The San Diego show is OCT. 1
