What did you do with your Mustang today?
I Have No Life
Minor mod/update: Installed my new Switchback halos - then had my shop wire it. Works as amber with turn signal activated, otherwise as regular halos.
Love em.

Fired mine up today after work. Moved the snowblower back to the back of the garage and did 2 hours of yard work. I'm done. (This is after getting up at 4:50am and working for 5 hours. Gotta get that $$$$ though. lol )
I heard a lot of loud cars today and wanted to go for a ride, but I'm beat. And tomorrow I'm washing the truck, so that day is a goodbye. lol

Since my hood debacle I haven’t washed it or covered it so today I gave it a wash. Took a nice long cruise and had the windows down. Imagine that in April?Tomorrow interior and engine bay detail.

Took both cars out today, we both were jonesing to drive them again.
An hour cruise each way, we ended up at Ed Day at New England Dragway, an annual charity event organized by one of the guys in the NH Mustang Club.
We parked them with the other cars that were part of the show that they do as part of the event.
I ended up with the trophy for the '10-'14 Mustang class.
I think it was by default since I'm pretty sure it was the only non-Roush/Shelby/other-special-model '10-'14 Mustang there, lol

Car's looking good as usual Burton!
A few more cars would've been nice, lol.
We were honestly surprised at the low turnout.
I'm sure the weather had a lot to do with it.
Today the wife and I drove the Shelby down to the dealership she bought it from to get the passenger side airbag recall done.
We were there about an hour and a half, and had a fun ride back and forth.
I drove down, she drove back.
Every time I drive that car it makes me wish my GT had more displacement, hahaha

I finally had a chance to get the snow tires off. Wanted to put on new Baer Eradispeed+ brake rotors at the same time, but only the rear set had been delivered. I waited as long as I could hoping they'd show up, but gave up and decided to just change the wheels, and as I was grabbing my tools Brown Santa showed up in his UPS sleigh and delivered the front rotors. So I got the whole thing done yesterday. Rear rotors are each 6 pounds lighter, fronts are each 10 pounds, aftermarket rims are each 17 pounds lighter, and that works out to an even 100 pounds of total weight, unsprung weight, and rotating mass. Win win win. And then it rained all day so I haven't been able to find out how it feels when I push it. Maybe on Friday...
I also added a bunch of cheap chrome-ish trim bits to the interior, cuz shiny is better.

Wheelskins leather wrap on the steering wheel. Looks like a totally amateur job. But I think I've got the hang of it now and plan to straighten out the crooked parts tomorrow.

Drove it!!
First time this season. She needs a nice waterless wash from sitting though.

Nice Tony.
I took out the sandbags from each mustang.
I vacuumed out each car and dusted.
God I love Weathertech mats in the green car. The carpet stays so nice.
Now I would like to claybar the car if I can get up the energy.

Today I had several projects.
1. BG Synchro Shift II replaced the stock manual transmission fluid. It is definitely noticeable and I wish I'd done it sooner. Pumping that handle for 10 minutes was an exercise in patience. Huge difference. I didn't expect it to be as much of a change as it was. Highly recommended mod.
2. Steeda G-Trac K Brace installed. This was a bargain find. I hadn't planned to buy it immediately, but on a whim I checked Amazon and they stocked it, so I checked the warehouse deals and they had a damaged box for $100. With 5% off to use the Amazon store card, it came to $95. When it arrived, it was repacked in a new box, but otherwise was perfect.
This would have been easier on a lift and not on jack stands. It's already a little unwieldy to move around and hold up in a tight space as it is. However, it was even more so a pain in the butt for the front drivers side bolt. It didn't line up perfectly at the top, so it was difficult getting it in. The spacer didn't help matters, so a little electrical tape to hold it place was needed. Finally I had to simply bolt the other 3 in fairly tight, and then use a mallet for a few good whacks, and "screwed" it in the more using a pair of pliers. Once it was started enough to hold the bolt, it was easy to simply ratchet it the rest of the way in.
3. Rear IRS Sub-frame braces. These were really super simple to install. Everything lined up nicely, and took the least amount of time of all of the installs today.
The G-Trac K, and the IRS Sub-frame weren't as noticeable of a change, but it does seem tighter up front and more planted out back.
Monday I'm going to Dallas Mustang for the quick-latches, and a Dyno. I'll post the results then.
And next will likely be blowfish transmission bracket/driveshaft loop, and then suspension. I'm a little worried about the suspension install doing it myself, but I'll probably give it a shot, and see if I can bribe a friend/or new friend to help out.

Today was new ARP wheel studs on the rear and new FRPP front hubs with the ARP studs. Then bolted on a new set of Apex Racing EC-7 wheels (19x10) with Nexen NFERA SUR4's (275-35-19). Now I need to find the time for a brake flush and new pads and it is ready for my first track outing of the year.
