No, regular GT brakes. Brembos won't fit under my winter wheels anyways.

Only cost $100 and included rotors, calipers and brackets...so a decent enough deal for better looks.

Now if there were only a cheap option to fill out the rears...

LOL
No,.......I don't use glaze either. lol The Roush never goes out in bad weather, so worries there and always garaged, when not in use. Pretty much detailed after every other cruise. Plus I usually polish it once a year, early summer.
The truck still beads really well and looks killer after being washed, but it does need to be clay barred and redone from scratch. It's been over 3 years since that's been done. People cannot believe that it is 10 years old. Looks 5 years old, if that. lol
But yes, your car looks killer. Awesome job sir!

I wanted to do the tail lights first, they seemed the easiest to start with, but I'll probably just do those and the side markers for now.

Drove my stang to work today, and got caught in a thunderstorm on the way home. I try not to drive it in the rain. I guess she will be getting some special attention this weekend.

I rumbled around town today and then down to pick up my CAI from the warehouse. Unfortunately AM (JLT) shipped me the wrong CAI. they sent me a v6 instead of a v8. I was saddened by this

They sent me a return shipping slip and assured me of a replacement product as soon as they see a tracking number for the incorrect part.

A freakin work of art!


Today I drove mine.
First time driving it since putting new NGK 6510 spark plugs in it a few days ago.
Was surprised to be able to tell a difference right away.
Engine was running smoother, and was even smoother at take-off from a stop.

Happy.

Would I lie to you gabe? Told ya!

I've been advised to change it out once a year actually, especially in our boosted applications. Would you agree Gabe? Or is that overkill?

I was driving last night and I hit a pot hole on the freeway the size of the Grand Canyon. At least it felt bad. The tires still holding air and the rim is straight. You can tell where the tire took the impact and see a little crack or split in the rubber. It's still holding. Cross fingers. I may remove it today sometime for more inspection.

Went to a friend's home for the day in Blairstown, NJ. I took my brother who just moved here from Sacramento. Normally it's a 40 minute drive straight out on Rt 80, but I took the really long way on Rt 46 through Warren County along the Delaware River.....gorgeous day, top down, rowing through gears and feeling Mustang love.

Thanks Burton. I have to take some time and check them out. I'm thinking they will be ok. Stay tuned.
