I took the shift ball and boots off the Hurst Billet Shifter to see why I have this shifter rattle noise now. Packed base with grease, packed shifter ball with silicone sealant.
Test drove the car and after a few shifts, the grease must have grabbed the ball and pulled itself into place because I can't feel any verticle movement and I have zero shifter ball rattle now.

 

As promised, a few pictures from this morning. Most were crap since I took them with my cell phone but there were a few salvageable ones.






A couple of RaceRat's Boss302:

 

What sc is that? Kenne belle?

More importantly what cold air intake is that? I've never seen that. That looks like it's really routed through the bottom opening of grille.

 

wow, i like that #47 shelby.

2015 Equus WHAT ?
What does this remind you of ?

 

the old 1st gen mustangs.

 

It's Kenne Bell's 3.6 Mammoth. Their intakes route down through the lower portions of the engine bay to pick up air that's away from the heated air produced by the engine and sc up toward the hood.

She's going to toss that one and put a 4.2 on. Same boost at lower RPM's, and of course, more boost if she wants it. It's putting out roughly 880HP at the wheels right now and they're installing racing cams either this week or next, hoping to get the HP up around 950 (I believe, might be wrong though). It's run 200+ at the Texas mile, but apparently that's not fast enough for her. She's also blown multiple transmissions apart and shredded a couple of blocks as well. There are a few videos of her 1/4 mi. runs on youtube.

 

It's an actual GT500KR, something of a rarity around here with all of the faux KR's people try to pass off as the real thing. It's a gorgeous car, and if I'd had more money when I bought my Shelby GT, I'd have bought one of those instead.

 

Nothing exciting today. Just drove it to McDonald's for lunch. Drove my daughter to her prom last night. Was in line for an hour waiting to drop her off at the red carpet. She was the last one. The Mustang got a thumbs up from some guys.

 

Some great cars there. Thanks for posting.

 

Equus has been around for a little while. They make really over-priced "muscle-car" styled vehicles for people with more money than sense. Kinda like the guy who brought a lambo to the cruise-in and decided to cover it in a matte wrap and call it "the batmobile." He also wore a Lambo t-shirt and Lambo shorts and put his hat on backwards, in case anyone wasn't already acutely aware of his douchebag status.

Good Job Sir! Glad you cured the rattles

I have a "Sick Speed" gear shift ball with the brushed adapter. Not the actual Hurst linkage like you have

It is however a lot nicer than the stock shift **** though!

Today, I have just been taking it easy, and am out in the shop admiring the new 07 that is to my left, or the left of my computer desk!

Actually going to rain here soon, so I have had some pretzles and a Miller Lite. Just relaxing learning a lot from all of the great posts here on TMS

 

Just gave it a quick detail in the garage.

 

Nice

 

I got StangBoy5.0 to take her around the block.

 

Lol Phil... Gorgeous car but probably the worst mustang video of all time. 9 seconds????

 

LOL. Burton, the TPMS woke up after deflating the tire to 10 psi.

 

Awesome. Yeah that's how my oroteks wakes up too. I had to fully deflate mine, then marry.

 

Awesome.

 

I installed a CDC Shaker system!
