Just ordered some RTR wheels for $700 from late model....now to decide on tires

 

Don't say that Darren... We are all mustang lovers here. Every mod is worth discussing

So you got the diffuser? You already have the gt500 quads right?

Thanks sir! Will do. Hopefully next week.

AJ, welcome to the rim mods!!! I also liked RTR, but they only come in 19s. I wanted 20s, since I figured I already have 19s, so if I wanna mod up, I'm gonna mod UP!!!

What width did you go with? Any other mods on your 5.0? Did you get 19x9.5 or 19x10?

For tires, get tacky ones... Wide and sticky...

 

Yeah,....no snow, just cold weather.

Awesome.

 

Cold weather is fine but hate the salt! Its eaten 2 of my past Capris!

 

That sux.
I had a wonderful dream of mods, then I woke up to cold, no snow with salt.

 

Yep... That's why my toy cars will never see the harshness of winter. Dailies, sure. Even on dailies, salt kills the clearcoat on rims. Opticoat helps, but only so much.

 

No salt down yet. We didn't have any snow or freezing rains,....yet.
If there ever is any, my car would be sleeping in the garage.

 

You're lucky! Plus when the weather hits under 40° my tires turn into a slip-n-slide!

 

Yea I saw Late Model had the RTRs up when there sale began but then took them down so when I saw them back up today I had to jump on it. They are 19x9.5 all around. I have a 3.7 with Mustang Club of America pack so it came with 18x8s. The RTRs should fill out nicely. My mods are in my sig. I'm deciding between the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 which i'm told is Michelins latest creation and suppose to be the best out and the Conti DWS. I need all seasons as the Mustang is technically my DD even though I don't drive it in the winter.

 

That's going to look good. Love the AMRs.

 

Barely made it 3 weeks, it hit 40' today so took the cover off and went for a cruise.

 

thinking about garaging for the winter and calling the ins co. Looks like they dumped some sand or salt this morning on some of the roads.

 

Ordered a set of CHE lca relocation brackets and a CHE rear axle brace.
Got the same stuff coming for the gf's Shelby too

Also today, I received the new spark plugs that will be going in once the Whipple is installed.

Also today, I received the SVE 18x10 wheels I ordered from LMR during their 4-rims-for-$200 sale
2 are going on my car, 2 on the gf's, all for drag radial duty.

 

I drove it in the snow. A little bit. Enough to get it sideways a few times.

 

Straightened out the tips on the Borlas I installed yesterday ... the OCD was driving me crazy!

Kinda wish that for the money they charge for these things, they would be nice enough to include new clamps with their mufflers so I wouldn't have had to rip the old ones off the GT500 mufflers ...

 

Just driving back and forth to work. Yesterday I had "Birds Gone Wild" all over the car. I went to a luncheon and wiped the crap off of it before it was on too long, had about 6 spots where the birds hit their target.

 

Looked at her sleeping in the garage while putting away the garbage barrels.

 

Opened the garage door and used the Caifornia duster on her and then closed the garage door.

 

Sound tube delete. 2 min mod...didn't feel any difference inside. May be I need to drive it more to know.

 

Not gonna notice a difference with aftermarket exhaust installed.
