(yesterday)

Took in my 3rd autocross event. Learned a bit more, learned that I still have a LOT more to learn, but had a blast, nevertheless.






Girlfriend had a cool launch "warming up the tires" ... I burst out laughing, lol




When we got home, I installed some Ford Racing goodness under the hood of my girlfriend's GT500, a twin-65mm throttle body, and loaded a revised tune from her tuner.

Drove it just a bit last night but it definitely seems to have a bit more "pep", lol

 

Yeah I'm feeling pretty stoked about that! Only mid pipe, catback and bama tune otherwise it's all stock! It's just too bad i have no money for track tires right now. .

 

We go to Cordova illinois. It's about 2 hours from Burlington unfortunately
Ha i would hope not, at least with that supercharger on there if you just put your foot in it and shift you should beat me
I'm sure it was in the top few best sounding at least haha

 

Had some free time and the weather was nice this morning so I got my engine bay cleaned up and added a battery cover and master brake cylinder cover I've had laying around forever.

 

That is one sweet TB, to bad you couldn't use it on your Mustang.

 

I hit 12.9 with my Mach with DRs and cat-back, so once you get some tires should be no problem!

 

I was going to say, that should be a 12.9 car at that mph.

 

Gave the green machine a quick detail in the garage.
(If you call almost an hour a "quick" detail. lol)

 

I just spent 6 hours polishing and waxing mine. She glows now, and I could pass out.
Mustang show tomorrow put on by the local Shelby Club and Dealership.

 

Thanks, and yeah not using it, but it's working awesome on the gf's Shelby, drove that car today and it definitely felt more powerful, we can hear the blower more than before, and the new tune is giving more exhaust burble/crackle on downshifts, so we love it!

 

Detailed the front end (to protect my clear bra, I'll do the rest next weekend) and my first dip project. It didn't come out too great lol. Actually, the finish came out amazing! I just left the tape on too long. This stuff dries fast! You're supposed to peel the tape off when it's still wet, and I didn't realize it was already dry when I started my line came out terrible. I may or may not redo it, since you can only really tell if you lie down on the ground and look up. I'm going to have my quad valance and quad cat back in about a month, so it may not be worth it. I used about half a can of black and a quarter of glossifier. The finish is pretty much perfect, IMO.

And one more of the tint. I love it. Not too dark!

 

Patrick looks awesome. That's why I love my 12...black lowers

 

When I get better at this whole dip thing (and this was out of spray cans, not even the dip system with the power sprayer), I was planning on removing the rockers, dipping them, and then taping off a line on the rear bumper to the quad tip valance, to mimic the 10-12 look. I did prefer that look too. Makes the car look visually lighter, less hefty in the mid and rear sections.

 

ORRRR… you could buy the carbon fiber rockers :P

 

Ehh I would, but no carbon fiber on this car. It's not "period appropriate" for my P-51 theme.

 

true, but a couple of bullet holes might be a cool idea

 

Lmao. Actually, I was planning on getting the lower fog/brake duct openings and fabbing up a couple of mock gun barrels!

 

Mistress Lauren and I went to the "Tuned by Tuna" car show in Springfield, Massachusetts with other members of the Mustangs of Massachusetts. In the Mustang class, MoM members won 4 out of the 6 trophies awarded.

 

Took in the FLX Mustang Rally Show...

 

Not a good day. A deer ran out in front on me so for me I got order a new wheel.
