I'll keep an eye out for the next couple weeks then. Thanks for the tip.
Just installed the armrest. Truth be told I couldn't feel the differece between the alleged leather and the vinyl from the stock piece. It's only slightly more cushiony. If it wasnt' for the stitching that goes along the sides I don't think I'd know the difference. It's probably the dumbest mod I've done. Doesn't get my recomendation.

Way to go, Leo! :banana:

I'll inspect your work when I see it Saturday. :jester:

BTW, how does the car look 'level' compared to the forward rake?



Pretty much the same as what Tom did... I tied something heavy on a string and suspended it from the center of the wheel well fender to the wheel center cap.

For some reason, my axle was centered after the drop.

Even if it were off a little, I've read that it really doesn't harm anything, just looks shifted to one side, especially if you're running wide rubber in the back.



I was thinking about that mod once I see it in person. From what you're saying, ... save my money.

To me it acutally looks as if the front is higher now maybe just an illusion since my gargage has a slight incline. Either that or maybe just a mind trick since I know the front springs haven't been changed. I'll look at it tomorrow when I take it out to go pick up my floor mats and mudflaps.

I think once you see it on Saturday you'll agree. I'm considering sending it back but I'll wait and see if maybe the combo of the ebrake and the lid together change my mind.

I did unwrap the ebrake just to check it out and I think you just might consider swapping it for your MGW handle. It looks really good IMO.

Stop procrastinating and install your new mods. The difference won't be dramatic enough to cause you to lose control.:poke:

The front should be higher now. Remember... the back needed to be dropped about 3/4" to match the front, but you dropped it around 1 1/4".

Leo - I thought I was up early... or didn't you go to bed, yet??

Wow I was just re reading the last few posts and I didn't expect to see a response. LOL nope I just haven't gone to sleep yet. It's only 1am.:grin:

Ahhhh so I'm not crazy the front is higher.:hmm:

Did you get my PM??

OMG, the news stations are so stupid and DRAMATIC. They have named the storm that is rolling through the next 4-5 days.



:banghead: :doh: :rofl2:

I have a MGW handle?? :wonder:


Mine only dropped an inch in rear.

Tom, I think your rear end is heavier. :jester:



Actually, it does!

That's nothing! SoCal is going thru it's coldest Winter yet, FREEZE WATCH 2007!!! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ns/th_cold.gif

See for yourself.

OMG !! :eek: How will you ever survive :dunno: I'll get some blankets, coats and necessities shipped to you overnight. :doh:

Hey Bill... In an emergency you can use a credit card as an frost scraper on your windshield! :poke:
:grin:

Make all the fun ya want, but it really is cold here!

Frost on my Mustang's windshield?? Yeah, right! I don't think so! :rofl2:

I can see the news now...


Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

See... Reporters stuck out in the cold while we focus on a puddle of water
See... Strange white puffy things fully of wet stuff coming down from the sky
See... Californias putting on Jackets.. in Janurary ??
See... Frost on cars

It's

WINTER STORM 2007

The most devastating weather event of the year !!!!*

*Until something else happens.

I better get back to work... I'm spending too much time on teh internets

Actually, I have lost 20 lbs in the last 50 days!

1 1/4" is the advertised rear drop. Mine my have been only about an inch, too. But, 1" is still more than the 3/4" needed to level it out.

I have a MGW handle?? :wonder:

Woops I could've sworn you had the MGW e-brake handle. I guess I confused pics of your car with Tom's.
:doh:

:rofl2: TB Seal of approval.


The weather lady here in SD said we might actually have some "frost." http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_8.gif

20 lbs? Good job! Stay away from Taco Bell and the like and you'll be shedding off even more poundage.

Me on the other hand, have gained a few pounds since the holiday. :banghead: To make things worse, I'll be going on a 3 day cruise next weekend!... and you know what that means.. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ngemoticon.gif

Tomorrow will be Leo's front springs and e-brake day!

I'll be sure to take a lot of pics of him working. Sometimes it's nice to kick-back and watch. :poke:

J/K Leo, I'll pass you some tools and hold the flashight. :jester:

Umm... I don't think Tom has the MGW handle either.

You're losing it, Leo. :panic:

I have an MGW e-brake handle?

Yep, I was 196 awhile back, and now this morning I was 176. I'm not following Atkins or anything, but I am watching carbs. I basically am eating smarter and with less easily-burnable carbs in the body, it's forced to switch to burning fat.

**** I would love to way 196. :banghead: Any guesses at my weight ? LOL I'm 5' 9" let the fun begin.

220??
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_8_5.gif:jester:

216?

Leo thanks for the warning on the armrest.I'm gonna scratch this off my list of future mods. Looking forward to see the front springs installed. Be careful with the front spoiler..Its almost a given that with a drop and a spoiler that you'll be bottoming out..last car show(Roush one) that Tom and I and other TMSers were in, one of the judges told me one thing they actually took points off for was a scuffed up spoiler on the bottom. Couldn't believe it:shame: Anyways get those pics up ASAP:nice:

Armrest
No problem I feel it's my duty to give an honest opinion about any mods I buy. Like I said this is one I'd only recommend if you have nothing better to spend your money on. BTW- I'm bringing my stock armrest so we can do a side by side shot for comparison.

Chin Spoiler/Lowering
Trust me I'll be very careful since after all worrying about the chin spoiler clearance is the reason I kept putting this mod off. Don't worry Bill and Kevin will take plenty of pics I'm sure. Once they upload them I'll be sure to post.

Ultralite Review
Even though I've only installed the rears and only drove today for about 10 miles I have to say I didn't notice a difference in ride quality. To be honest other than the rear obviously being lower I couldn't tell the difference. I hope with the fronts in I'll be saying the same thing. I'll make sure to post an update after my drive back from LA tomorrow with front and rears installed.

The rear springs (on stock and lowered) have such low spring rates that you probably wouldn't feel a difference in ride quality. The front ones is where you'll see the difference. The Ulta-Lites are definitely the closest to the stock ride, but there is also definitely a difference.

It won't be like having a low-rider or Eibach Sports springs, but you will feel the road more. On the other hand, you won't sway as much through corners, the nose won't lift as much during initial acceleration (and the rear end won't squat as much)... and the nose won't dive as much during hard braking. The good more than out weighs the bad.

And I have never hit my chin spoiler - not even once.

You just jinxed yourself, Tom. :doh:

I believe Leo is now in the 'Modified Class' at any car show that uses the points system. Looks like I'll have some competition at the upcoming Knotts Berry Farm show.
Bring it on, Leo. Bring it on. :nanadance:

Nah... I'm way too careful. And it's really not all that low.

That's true, but I can't make it up the Rhino Ramps any longer without rigging up some 'pre-ramps' (aka. 2x4's). :banghead:

Why the hell are you posting at 4am Bill, don't you sleep :dunno:
Looking for some pics Leo.
Bill, is that a challenge being issued to Leo? :popcorn:

BTW, I weight 225. :rofl:

Leo, which arm rest pad did you get?

We just got finished tinting the rear window. The hard part was having to cut rectangles out of the tint to go around the connections for the defroster.

I was coughing a bit, took some medicine and decided to stay up a little while. So, decided to check was was up on TMS.

Leo has all the pics, I'm sure he'll post some later tonight. I'll post a couple pics on the next post of us with a special guest, Brian (Habu)!

Yeah, I'll challenge Leo at the next show. :grin: But hey, as long as the TMS'rs finish top 3, I'm happy! :nice:

225?? Tom, give Daryl some tips.



Looks great, Tom! Sure looks dark out back, hopefully not too dark when backing up at night.

Just watch your carbs. 100 carbs for 100 days = lose 30 pounds. There's your 195, Daryl!

It's 20% like the rest. If I could get used to the double layer of Limo tint on my '84 Olds Cutlass Supreme, this should be no problem! If I took the picture lower, you would see right through the front window (at least you do in person).

It's the one that come on 07's with the PIUP package. I'll post a pic as soon as I upload them on to my photobucket.

Thanks to Bill and Kevin for all the help today. Brian it was fun hanging out. Bill please tell Hector thanks for the spring compressor.

Much better! How was the 100 mile ride home?

Wouldn't know as I won't be leaving for atleast another 30min or so.:grin:

I see.... well, give a short report when you get home before the full report tomorrow.

:rofl2: Will do. BTW here's a vid Bill took as a comparison between the Stingers/Flowmaster. For all you lurkers keep in mind we both have O/R H pipes.
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...h_MVI_1926.jpg

Looks great Leo ! Just went back and looked at the pics again. It looks perfect. The Bullits, rotors, calipers and now the drop, beautiful :drool:

I have a few pics that I'll put in a folder in my photobucket if you want to grab 'em.

You guys completely convinced me to do this myself. I was very hesitant about touching struts on a car and seeing it done up close-n-personal changed my mind. Of course having Bill take me out in his car/monster and then driving mine home, well let's just say IF I had the 700 bucks right now I'd be ordering the C&L/SCT from Doug. I seriously cannot get that soon enough. Realisticly I'll probably do the springs and intake/tuner at the same time.

How hard was that e-brake to do ? I know your on the fence about the center console but isn't there door armrests too that are stitched, you gonna get those as well ?

If I didn't have plans for the rest of today I would have stuck around. But I couldn't afford it any more. If I had stayed Bill would have talked me into getting the CDC shaker

It wasn't hard to do it was just a PITA I repeat a PITA. Look through the gallery in my photobucket to see what's involved. If you want me to go into detail shoot me a pm with your #. When all is said and done though I think it's a great improvement over the crappy stock one. I would get the door armrests put the only way to get those is to buy the entire door panel which just isn't worth the dough IMO.

Reviews as promised.
 

Steeda Ultralites-
Install: I did the rear springs by myself using TacoBill's write-up and have to say it was really easy even for a mechanical novice like myself. The front springs I did with direction and assistance from Bill and while slightly more labor intensive it's still not that hard to do as long as you have the tools.

So after driving over 100 miles with them so far I have to say I'm very pleased with the ride quality. The only time I felt a difference was when going over medium to large sized bumps in which case I felt them more than I did with the stock springs. Other than those situtations which were very few the car felt as if it still had the stock springs.
FYI-My rear axle was only off by a 1/4 to the right after lowering.

Armrest-
As you can see from the pics above there's hardly any difference between the stock armrest and the pleather wrapped armrest. They even feel the same. If it wasn't for the stitching on the sides I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference. IMO this was a waste of money and wouldn't recommend doing this mod unless you have nothing left on your mod list.

Ebrake-
While it does look 10,000 times better than the crappy plastic stock handle I will say this mod is not as quick and easy as it looks. The mod involves removing the entire center island (down to the carpet), removal of sail panels, front of center console, as well as a trip below the vehicle to release the ebrake cables. I love the way it looks and couldn't be happier with. Is it worth it? That's for you to decide.

Brain scored a 10.0 on the Sphincter Meter when the rear started to pitch sideways! :rofl2:

Another case of poor judgement, immature adolescent driving... but it sure was fun! :nice:



Glad to hear that you like the Ultralites. Just start getting used to approaching dips and driveways more cautiously now.

Any wierd noises, creeking, or grinding (when turning your steering wheel)?

How was the 'toe' setting? Was the steering wheel centered when driving straight?
(FYI: If you're going to check, make sure there's no crown on the road)

(E-Brake)... crappy plastic stock handle, huh... you're hurting my feelings. :crying: J/K.. your new leather wrapped handle looks way better, I'm just not sold on that feature alone versus the cost and labor involved.

Let me know if you want me to do a write-up on the E-Brake install. I'll include it in my 'How To' section giving you full credit! :grin:

Yep, that's the way it is. On a nice, level road you won't feel any difference. Since you drive it a lot, you'll notice the rebounding is different over bumps - like you said. Eventually you'll understand what I and others mean by the car being "busy" now - instead of floating over an uneven road, you'll feel it a lot more. But, for the look, it's worth it.

Your drag racing experience should improve, too. You should feel the nose raising less, and the rear squating less.

That's mine, too - 1/4" off. I hate to spend the money to move the rear end over 1/8" and then have something adjustable that can loosen up or change over time. The solid, stock panhard bar is good enough for me. And you can't even tell on my car where the tires are out closer to the fender wells... I'm sure your's is almost impossible to see without measuring, right?

I assure you my Brain was fine... It's a good thing our seats don't have buttons on them, you'd be missing a couple :jester:
Still sideways through second was very fun. I just wish I has the 700 bucks right now.

Oops, I meant 'Brian'! But, guess it applies to the brain too. :rofl2:

Don't worry, you'll soon get all the mods on your list. Most of us had a 6 month jump on you.

Yeah I don't think 1/4 inch is worth $169. Unless someone measures it they'd never notice it. Either way I'm leaving as is for now.

Looks pretty cool! I've heard that running RC models can get quite expensive.

Leo's E-Brake write-up is complete! :nice:

link

Yes... looks awesome!

And thanks! (about the tint) Not too shabby for $40!

As usual great write-up.

Looks good and you saved over $100 if not more.

Yeah the truck alone is about 500 or so, then I put in the biggest motor I could find which was cheap at 200 and that doesn't count the stuff I broke or the "hop-up"/mods i put on it.... so needless to say I can't break anything more 'cause I'm not spending my CAI/Bamatunes money on a *toy* truck. As much fun as it is, it doesn't beat the pucker-factor that I got a taste of on Saturday... :grin:

Bill, Leo,

I was just washing my car and noticed that my calipers are as silver and shiny as day one - no grunge. I guess the high humidity ruins the rotors and the smog ruins the calipers??

That's it! I knew it was the smog all along. Wait.. is there smog in San Diego? :dunno:

Us Floridians think all of CA is covered in smog! :rofl2:

Right after washing the car, the rotors are completely covered with rust. Not the black parts, just the bare metal - and since the pads hit all of that area now, as soon as I drive, all the rust is gone. This is on every car in FL.

If there is it's not noticable like in LA.

Lastest email from MWAG-
"Thanks to everyone for their patience. We are presently molding the new
shock tower covers. We will begin replacing the covers starting next
week. Our goal is for everyone to receive the new covers within a 3
week period. We will ship the covers on UPS and issue a call tag to
your email for the old shock tower covers. Please place this label on
the old covers and return to the UPS driver at time of delivery of the
new covers.
If you did not have a fit issue, please let us know and we will not send
new covers.
Thanks"

I sent a reply asking why they had gone back on there word about letting us keep the old ones.

Leo, hope you don't mind... I just made you famous on the net. :nice:

* I can burn it on DVD for you if you want.

It works now. Thanks for the video Bill it's awesome. I'll be adding it to my sig/myspace.:metal:

Worked for me!

You're welcome! (I was a bit bored at work today... :grin: )

Let me enable the video embedding so you can copy and paste it into you MySpace.

Here are some washed and polished pics. I gave up on Zaino since it's so hard to see on a white car. It's too much work for too little difference. I just use something like that "Wax as you Dry" stuff, but what I have is made by Dupont. After I blow most of the water off the car and out of the nooks and crannies (like the grille and the SilverHorse Racing rear panel), I just spray this stuff on the car and wipe it off as I finish drying.

Any little black spots you see are bugs - they think the car is a light.

I like the eerie looking clouds reflecting in the tint and hood stripes.

And a pic of my rusty rotors (for all y'all non-Florida folk):

Attachment 17490

After I drive it, the rust goes away and stays away until I wash it again.

Wow that Flordia humidity really does a number on the rotors. So far so good mine are still rust free. Like I said before I can't believe you waited so long to tint your windows. The car looks so much better with windows tinted.

The first pic in the second row got me thinking about ordering that hood stripe.

Here's a pic of a new hood graphic they're offering. Only problem is that it's only a paint stencil. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if they can make a vinyl cutout of that stripe.

http://www.graphic-express.com/k165-...nt_stencil.asp

Well, there used to be a permanent ring of rust from the powdercoating not reaching the pads, but since I painted them there is only rust right after washing. Pulling into the garage, I let the brakes drag slightly and that was enough to shine 'em up!

I definitely love the tint! I can't believe I waited so long, either. See the first pic in the second row with the cloud reflection in the strip of tint across the front? There's no way you can see the radar detector!

You would get the stripe in matte black? It should fit perfectly - my car was the model! :nice:

No doubts it will fit perfectly it's just I like the design of the "paint stencil". I'll call tomorrow and see if I can convince them to make a graphic of it for me. If I do go through with it I think I"ll go with either the matte black or a dark metallic charcoal.

Have you considered buying the black taillight trim? I think it would go well with your theme as well as your SHR panel.

Okay need another opinion from all of you. I considering removing one of my 281 badges. The one on the passenger side that reads 182. Do you guys think it will look awkard with only one emblem?

[quote=LEO_06GT;820793]Thanks Leo, that works for me :nice:

Very nice TacoBill!

Guy's please check out this thread.
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...799#post820799

Does it actually say 182 on the other side?! :confused:

I just looked at some of your photos, it looks great as is! :nice:

Is it me?
 

Does it seem like this server has really bogged down and gotten laggy lately?

:banghead:

Yes... MTAS has it and I saw it in person at our meets and car shows. I just have to find it and eventually get it.

They both say "281". It doesn't say "182"... everybody here reads left to right. Leave it alone or take both off, not just one. Personally, I would take both off (they're too big). But I know somebody that will argue with me!

Yes.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I think I'll either leave them both as is or change one if the deal with autobadges works out.

Car looks great, Tom! Looks cleaner than showroom new! :nice:

Having PW, I don't blame you for switching away from Zaino. As long as you keep a good coat of whatever on it, it'll remain smooth as glass.



Noooo!!! :bad:

Don't do that design, Leo.



Don't you dare! Get over it, it looks great!

Keep in mind, any derogatory comment you make on the awkard appearance of the '281's' affects me too. :bat:

Thanks Ray. Hope you like Linkin Park. :headbob:



Leo, stop smoking that junk! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...smiley-027.gif

Remember when you said for me to tell you when you start doing 'tupid stuff? Leave them alone or like Tom said, take them both off.

Man, I'm dissapointed at them. Why can't someone produce a nice looking cover for the strut towers?

Steeda was on the right track, but it makes no sense to cover the center strut nut, but leave the other 4 mounting nuts exposed. :doh:

Leo- I have no other option but to see what MWAG sends you as the final product. Let me check it out before you return yours.

No problem I'll wait. I was acutally thinking we might be forced into keeping them since no one else has anything better out. I might just keep them and use the originals just for show.:shame:

I thought I'd let everyone know I ordered color samples from graphics-express today. I asked for slate metallic, silver metallic, charcoal metallic, and matte black. Once I decide on the color I think I'm going to just bite the bullit and order a shaker stripe like Tom's. I'm really hoping I like it since there's no returns unless I decide on matte black or slate metallic. Worst case scenario I'm out $100 if I go with a "custom" color and decide I don't like it.:screwy:

OK I promise I won't make another post untill everyone catches up.:grin:
What do you guys think of these emblems?
http://www.fordemblem.com/details.ph...stang&i=110601

http://www.fordemblem.com/details.ph...stang&i=110502

So let me get this straight...

If we keep the new designed covers, we also get to keep the original covers?

BUT, if we decide to get a refund, they will require us to send back both the original and newly sent covers?

:dunno:

Both look good to me, but the 'GT' is less noticable because it's so close to stock.


Ever consider dual 12" wide racing stripes?

Here's some pics of Matte black, Dark Grey, Dark Charcoal Metallic.

That's my understanding anyways.

I'm not a fan of stripes on a black car. They don't look bad but to me it doesn't have the same Ooooo and Ah factor that your car, a VB with white stripes, or a PW with VB stripes has. Plus I don't think I'd have the patience to apply them.:grin:

Aside from that, you can see what the different color vinyls look on your Black hood.

Disregard what I said earlier about the MWAG shock tower covers. I just called them and what they told me was If you want to keep your old ones then you don't get new ones. If you want the new ones then they'll send them to you and included will be a prepaid shipping label to send back the old ones.

This really ****es me off. I want to keep my old one's and use them only for show but I can't because they have that rub mark. I asked if I could have my old mold replaced and was told all the old ones have been destroyed. So now I'm either stuck with my defective tower covers, the new crappy covers, or even worse no covers at all.:shame:

I think I like the dark metallic charcoal which means it will cost me $99 since it's a custom color.
:doh:

Thanks for calling them up and getting it straight.

I'm thinking to go with the new covers no matter what. Even though my 'old' ones are perfect (no rub marks), it'll always be on my mind that they will eventually rub through.

I understand that they can be used for 'Show Only', but I really don't want to hassle with the on/off at the shows, Mustang Cafe, or anywhere else I want to pop open my hood to show it off.

So, I'm assuming that MWAG hasn't acted on our account yet until you officially tell them that you want or don't want the new covers? Or did you already tell them to ship the new ones?



I think the D/M Charcoal looks the best too. The Matte looks good, but I'm not sure about the long run since it can't be waxed like the Gloss or Metallic. ** Am I right on this? **

my .02, take 'em off. If they bother you it'll be worse every time you look at it.

Noooo!!! :bad:

Don't do that design, Leo.

Rest easy as I can't since they only offer it as a paint stencil.:dunno:


Don't you dare! Get over it, it looks great!

Keep in mind, any derogatory comment you make on the awkard appearance of the '281's' affects me too. :bat:
Leo, stop smoking that junk! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...smiley-027.gif

Remember when you said for me to tell you when you start doing 'tupid stuff? Leave them alone or like Tom said, take them both off.

OK, OK your right and thanks for the :slap: I needed it.

No problem. I see your point it's just I think the new design is so half-a$$ed. Maybe they'll grow on me. Eitherway I guess it looks better than not having the area covered at all.:shame:

Your right about not being able to wax the matte black they have a disclaimer on they're site that states that. Not only that but matte black would be a little to suttle IMO.

Ah like I told Bill I'll just leave them on. I guess I just got butt hurt when I heard the idiot at the track say wtf is a 182.

Was that before or after you smoked his ***?
Jealousy makes immature jackasses spew derogatory and asinine comments.
Of course I would have said something like, "It says 281, WTF are you illiterate or just stupid. :-D

It was acutally the announcer. He didn't say it on the mic though. He was standing outside the booth while I was lined up at the burn out box so I didn't really have time to say anything.

Ehh, don't even bother wasting your breath. I know if anyone talks smack about my car, they are either Camaro lovers or the itsy-witsy minority.

And bow your hood.

Yeah, that too. :doh:
