Well I know the GTA's have nasty loud trumpeting. I figured if its goign to trumpet its better with a deeper sound. I dunno the guy who has them hasn't replied he may have sold them to somone who was before me.

On a side note. I do have something extremely interesting in the works. Much more so then just an entire exhaust system

Rubbing seems to be just on the surface of the DS and did not gouge or (deep) scratch it. I think it happened when I had Chris and Kai in the back seat last month. No rear passengers until I take care of this issue.
When did you find this? on Saturday? Is it something you can clearance with a few blows of a big *** hammer? or is it going to be a problem?

Don't get me wrong, the stingers on startup, idle and WOT once past 2500 is just magic. It's still the best sounding set up I've heard.


Saturday was great as usual, even if I was freezing by the end of the day. I don't think anyone has mentioned it but George was the savior of the day helping with the right side motor mounts.
Ray & George.. you definitely missed out. It was a fun night. Maybe a little to long for me, what a wuss.

Many Thanks to Jed for being the chauffer !!


I think Leo is still nursing the loss or a really good hangover, otherwise I'm sure he'd be on here. Even though my Seahawks were spanked by Fav-re, I wanted them to win yesterday. Can't stand Eli and I don't think they can do it against the Pats....

**** Bill, that sux about the DS. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Well guys I have good news and bad news.

Good News = There is a 2008 FORD in my ownership as of Friday and so far I love it.

Bad News = It's not a Mustang.

Sorry guys couldn't bring myself to purchase another Mustang, at least not yet. No matter if I bought one and made it identical to my previous one, it just wouldn't be the same. Secondly, there was no room for anyone other than me and one passenger, which for a DD is a PITA.
Will I get another Mustang in the future? Very possible, just not the near future.

Anyway let me know what you think of my new vehicle.

I can't keep up anymore!!!

Nice truck, Daryl! At least it's a Ford!

Any of you with the mole skin having it turn brown where it's exposed to the sun? My car is garaged, but over time this happened:

Attachment 38340 Attachment 38341 It looks awful.

I tore it all off and replaced the rears with the soft side of Velcro:

Attachment 38342

I just need to do the doors now.

Not a big football fan anyways, more baseball, actually all baseball

Glad you guys had fun, you guys always have all the fun..........................

And Leo not trying to wail on you, I know you really wanted to have the Pack win, I wish you could be happy today with a Pack win

Hey George, hope you didn't spend too much time in the doghouse!

May have to break out the ol' 'fishing trip' excuse next time.


Yes, Leo owe's you big time.

I discovered it yesterday when I relocated the e-brake cable bracket. I was looking up and down the shaft, then I saw that, and was like ' '!!!!!!!
I'll see if a rivet gun with a long extension, upset rivet head set, will do the trick in flattening out that section. Not a big priority, just won't carry any rear passengers for now.

Looks great Daryl!

Having a truck as a DD is a pleasure. No more slowing down for dips, speed bumps, driveways, potholes, etc, etc.

Stop in from time to time, you have a lifetime membership to POTR.

Here's a good forum to join once you start modding your F150. F150online.com

Don't worry about my DS, I'll get taken care of TB style!

Weird. I haven't noticed any discoloration in mine. I'll check it out next time get to my car.

Turbo... Well? Get the new tune?
Hope all is well now.

Yeah...I think mine's doing it a little too. But, it's really not that noticeable in terms of seeing black then brown....only brown is seen. I think the noticeability has to do with it being a vert, because when the top is down the light shines right on it with no shade or covering of any sort from a B-pillar. So, you are more likely to see that it's a different color.

My moleskin (though it's just velcro I think because it was dealer installed for free) is definitely browning. Very noticeable and I'm gonna take it to the dealer that installed it and try to get them to fix it.

With 2000 miles, you probably won't see any color issues, yet! I'm pushing 20,000 right now.

The new tune is in... next dyno day (all for free) will be an upcoming Monday.

Very true.

Great, so the Velcro will turn brown, too? I was hoping that was a moleskin issue. The backs are easy enough to change, but the fronts are a pain.

How does the car feel with the new tune? Has to be night and day, now that the CMCV's are opening.

Had a great time on Saturday. Thanks to all the socal guys for that.
George thanks for the help on the motor mounts I was dead after the PH/PH support.

No clunks or noises on the way home from the ph or support. Car feels alot more "solid" in a good way.

Yesterday was an emotional rollcoaster watching the Packer game. I'm still recovering from that. I can't believe they lost. That's the most painful lost since the 04 OT loss to the Eagles. What's worse is that's it untill August. I think I was more distraught than the players.


Won't be watching the SB cause I know the PAT's will win.

Bill-Your DS problem doesn't look to bad. Good thing you caught now though.

Daryl-Sorry to hear you longer drive the stang. Truck looks good though. I'm sure in OK the truck will be alot more practical.

Tom-No problems with fading on my moleskin. Maybe it's the fact you've got the vert and it sits open so long at all the shows.

Jed-This was probably the most under photographed install party of all time.

Now that Knight Rider/KITT is a Mustang I've been thinking about adding one of these in the Shaker scoop. Yay or Gay?
