Met a modded Subie wrx. Didn't realize all that suspension work makes such a difference on our cars. Was shocked and so was he lol. He also said it was the best sounding mustang he's heard. I smiled.

 

Suspension mods can really wake up a car.
After my new UCA and CHE axle brace, I find that I really have to try to spin.

 

I agree... I just didn't know it would make that much of a difference

 

......

 

I went drag racing @sacramento raceway, it was mustang night! And I won first place in bracket racing! And ran a new personal best of 12.72@ 112 mph!

 

She gets new shoes all around....sometime this morning she goes in for a set of 4 Conti Extreme Contact DW over stock CS rims...245/45/19's!!!
Fed up with the Pirelli P zero's, complete crap.
She'll also gets a hand wash after I get home ( no touchless automated joint for this baby) followed with a coat of carnuba wax, then take a nap! LOL

 

Awesome! What dealer do you work at? My buddy is a writer at Harrold Ford!

 

Changed out the plugs in the girlfriend's Shelby this morning ...
Looking at the "slight" difference in the gap, I'd say she was due, huh?
Took the car for a brief spin and she already felt more awake ... looking forward to seeing what the GF says.

Plus, tomorrow we're going to have it re-tuned

 

I work @ a Folsom Lake Toyota!

 

Got everything done but the battery yesterday

No spare time tonight so it's on hold till Sunday now

 

Awesome.
You got a lot of the list done. Almost time to hit the pavement with SEVEN.

 

Just bought a tune, Steeda G-Trac brace, and whiteline trans bushing.

Looking forward to some wrench time next week.

 

I'm getting one of those bushings too ... what's involved in installing one?

 

Drove it last night and continuing to put the interior back in this morning so I can drive it to work. Having major seller's remorse....

 

that sucks

 

I have a simpler question: what's the purpose of the "trans bushing", and why upgrade the stockers?

Patrick when is sell-day? And do you already even have a buyer?

 

Selling tomorrow, appt for smog in the morning. On the way to work I almost got side swiped by a ranger - had to swerve into the next lane to avoid him trying to move into my lane, almost rear ended a Prius that cut me off going about 10mph slower than me, and as soon as I pulled into the parking garage at work, the CEL came on again. Lol but dammit if she doesn't look mean still...

 

that sucks, but luckily everything is fine. And she looks great!

 

Going from memory, you have to drop the transmission crossmember and then the bushing just slips into the trans mount. Looked like it could be done in 5-10 minutes if you don't have to scrounge for tools.

It's supposed to limit transmission movement at higher RPMs. I have a V6, so it's really not a huge issue, but for $35 I figured why not give it a try and see how it works. It's something I wanted to have installed when I eventually get an MGW shifter anyways.

 

Oh, and to clarify on the Whiteline insert, it just goes inside the stock trans mount, it doesn't replace anything. The stock mount has a lot of open space inside so a lot of movement is allowed, and this fills those spaces.

Not a replacement, just augments the stock mount.
