The shelby was was good. it was like a really nice gt. the ford handling pack was pretty amazing.


I love the fiesta. I cannot wait to get my parts installed. it drives nice and has little to no cabin noise.

GF just got the lime squeze hatch back, complained not enough zip compaired to her old Caliver (1.6 vs a 2.2 l). Added the Steedia CIA, now it has zip. waiting for SCT to come out with the tune. She loves it and its getting about 30 +mpg city driving. Next is a graphics kit.

I am getting 34 city mpg and have seen 43 mpg on long trips. The car will do 118 mph before the computer limits you. the real power is made at 4500 rpm all the way to 7000 rpm. The car is nimble as hell and fits in the smallest parking spots. I just hit 1800 miles on the car and have been seeing 470 miles per tank. The car costs about $28.50 to fill up. I cannot wait till my parts come in and I can to the track.

cfm has the best deal on the catback for the car.

Sounds impressive so far. Too bad the car is too small for my needs.

I am thinking of doing a exhaust. But I am not sure if its worth 500 bucks to get 3 hp.

it may only be 3 hp but persentage wise thats about 3% (using 119hp), now put a 3% gain on a 300 hp Mustang, that equals about 9hp. Would you now put $500 to get 9 or 10 hp on a stang?
Wait for SCT to break the code and Steeda to come up with a tune for less than $400.

What toys did you get from Gus?

Got everything installed tonight that came in from Gus other then the springs!

the bettery tie down

CAI

short shifter with the solid bushings

pics tomorrow after I go in for some over time and springs sunday after noon.

Can I add that its very scary to tare apart a brand new car. I did remove most of the interior of my 2009 mustang to install the start button. But in the 2009 I had already taken apart 5 of those cars.
