I will be getting rid of the SRA as soon as I put the IRS in.

Shoot me a text Patrick. I lost your number when I got a new phone.

Cobra brakes are on. IRS is on the backburner now, because of how much the starting issue cost me to figure out, and expenses for school.

Should be no problem during the summer. Just can't do it right now.

I got a set of slotted/drilled with my Cobra brakes, so I'm alright. Post them up on CAFords.

Anyone have suggestions on which badges to get to replace the Cobra ones on my fenders? I don't want just plain GT ones, and the 4.6 High Performance ones that they sell on American Muscle just look huge when I saw pictures of them on cars.

Eventually, I will get a new set of tri-bars and paint all the chrome trim glossy black, so just the red/white/blue stripes show up. If you like the idea, go for it. I'm going to do my grille delete pony and rear V6/Ford emblems too.

I'm thinking about throwing the Watts on since it's a free-mod right now. Also still have these subframe connectors under my bed that I need to get welded on when I get the H-pipe out of the way... Which comes to the next thing, I just bought a Mac H-pipe with Magnaflow high-flow cats welded in. I figure if I need to pass smog someday that I should at least attempt to have it legal-ish, and it might turn off my CEL for non-functional catalytic converters (420, 430). So hopefully that will be getting done very soon.

Just got my sequentials from GT Concepts today. I can't wait to get them on the car tonight, then I'll post a video.

The H-Pipe still hasn't gone on, because the guy still hasn't brought down the driver's side reducer(?) I just want it on so I can get rid of the stupid CEL, and poor (ridiculous) gas mileage.

I'm getting between 16-18 and most of my driving is on the freeway. When I looked up the codes (I'm pretty sure they were P0420 and P0430) they said that it was indicative of a bad catalytic converter (one code per side) and it said the symptoms could be poor performance, and bad gas mileage.

Hey for those sequentials, head over to autotrix.com and check out their signal flasher. It slows down how fast the lights light up to get really close to matchin the 2010+ models!

That about what I get in the sixer. Of course Ive never been known to be easy on it but still. If Im cruising all highway its about 28 but combined is around 18
