Yes I have this one. Like it a lot. Both of my brass connectors tightened snug. Had to finesse them to get them to the right locations for install. Mine looks pretty much like yours. Put it on over the winter while she slept. Have put about 500 miles on since. No issues, other than on another thread it was pointed out that the name on top of the can is upside down. I see yours is the same. Been thinking about pulling apart to fix, but maybe it is not worth it.

 

Took her to the Fast and Furious showing with friends today in Germany. Fun times.

 

Ah! I was just going to post that I just took my wife on a date to go see it too!!!

Was disappointed though there was not one mustang in the movie

 

I went to see it yesterday, but I left the stang at home since it was raining. It had some good one liners in it and overall it was a good movie. The ending was touching.

 

So is there gonna be a possible 8th movie?

 

Without ruining the ending for others, all I will say is yes.

 

Perfect answer, cuz I haven't seen it either

 

I ordered new tires for my car today. Nitto NT555's 265/30/20 fronts and Nitto NT05 305/30/20's rear. as long as they can source them within a week or 2. find out monday.

what y'all think? Good setup? I wanted to go Mich. SS's but 3 month nationwide backorder on my sizes killed that idea.

they are going on these...

 

That's gonna look good.

So YouTube video of using up the rest of the thread on your car before you put new ones on?

 

What wheels did you get Darren? Nice! I figured you'd have had a thread on it.

 

those are the BMC supersnake wheels i bought a while ago. 20x9/10
First car show is april 18 so i want some added bling for the show.

 

Passed my second state inspection and like last year it took two times to do it. Last year I had a VMP tune and specifically told them I had to pass a OBDII inspection so I needed the 02's on but 1st round everything was turned off. This year with my local shops dyno tune told them the same thing but once again 02's turned off. They adjusted the tune and I passed round two.
Texas has moved to a one sticker system so I'm glad to have only one sticker instead of two on the windshield from now on.

 

Got to love that chrome.

 

Will look like these when done. The only thing that sucks is i can't do the big brake kit this year. new house is priority, so these tires are about the only mod i can do for a while.

PLUS i might drop her another 1/4-1/2" for show season. I have adjustable suspension so that's easy

 

Just do NT05s all around. They're a much better summer tire than the 555s. The 555s get loud as they wear. Have them all match!

 

nope. couldn't get the size i wanted for the front in the NT05, so opted for the 555.

 

Ah just saw your size. Kinda an off size to be honest. I'm picking up some used PSS for $400. 265/40/20 and 305/35/20.

 

Drove over to MRT to pick it up - replacement engine is done after last year's catastrophic failure the first time I took it WOT after the turbo install.

Nice easy drive coming home, kept it out of boost until I can get it dyno tuned; no faith in the BBR supplied tune on the new engine. This is what we found in the oil pan of the old engine:


Chunks of piston skirt. Haven't done a tear down to see what all is damaged. Compression testing showed problems on 2 pistons, one on each bank.

If this snow will stop falling I'll get the catch can back on the car, and take care of a few other items.

 

Jim. Thoughts on why it failed in first place? Bad ford piece from get go? Or bad tune causing detonation? Etc?

 

Was hoping to change the oil, re install the battery, and giver her the first startup of the year, but with it snowing like mad here, I lost any diseire to work on cars. So I spent my Amazon gift card on detailing supplies for her, and hoping to get some work done on her later in the week.

Its still probably 2-3 weeks from being able to drive it, but I want to have her detailed and ready to go once the salt is completely off the roads.
