and.... a good detail over all wheels themselves need some attention, so does the lower rocker (sorry, detailer in me coming out).

nice stance though!

 

Yes it needs washed.

 

I've been holding off on washing it, yesterday was the first nice day we have had. Unfortunately it was my only day off.

 

Very interesting. Is the idea that taller gears increase the normal driveline losses associated with RWD vehicles?

 

In my experience it was steeper gears netted me lower dyno numbers, as in going from 3.55s to 4.10s showed a loss with no other changes.

Anyway what I did with my car today or actually over the weekend was suspension mods.

 

 

Washed and waxed her.

 

I wen to a car show Saturday and it rained. Then when it cleared up took a cruise to Sonics.

 

Hahahaha, look under the 2010-2014 by color, oxford white forum..... I started a thread there yesterday.

 

Yesterday I brought mine in to the Ford dealer for grinding into 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, engine tick, and that black trim piece on the roof its starting to come off. We'll see if it leaves with ANY repairs
Last summer they said they couldn't duplicate the grinding into gears, but its gotten worse, so we'll see

 

welp...just got a call back from the dealer. They replaced the canister purge valve for the engine tick. I hope that was the cause of the noise and fixes it. I'm a bit skeptical because the noise seems to follow the engine RPM, but I won't make any judgements until I drive it. They ordered the trim piece for the roof and will replace it
As far as the grinding gears, they couldn't duplicate it. They are going to let me take a ride with the tech as soon as I can (probably during lunch tomorrow) so I can show him what it is doing and hopefully duplicate the grinding to their satisfaction.

 

Since it was a beautiful day I clay bared and jetsealed my baby.

 

Your car is looking amazing! I love the look of that candy apple red one too. any more pics of that one? Don't see many in that color.

 

Dropped off more parts, replacement hood should be in tomorrow. Won't get it back until next week now though. SHR louvers have arrived, will be installed soon. Roush chin is on though! CS fogs with DD yellow XP80 LEDs dropped off too...loving this shaved look!

 

I had Roush springs installed. They only give a 1/2" drop. The tech says they will settle in. I wanted to keep somewhat of a stock look and improve the nose dive, squatting, and ride quality. The waterbed feel is gone. The ride is still soft but much better. Handling is better but not dramatic.

Any future aftermarket wheels will look better.

Keeping stock shocks and struts. Front and rear roll bars are next. What do you think? Suggestions?

Because the car is black, it is hard to tell by the pics but there is a difference and its subtle.

Here's a better pic:

 

Looks to me like you got more than .5", but regardless, I can see a difference. Maybe because mine, also lowered, is black too and I'm more aware of a dropped black Mustang. Good job.

 

Very glad it's moving foward Patrick. How did the body repairs turn out? It must be feeling like an eternity by now!

 

Looks like fun! I see a silver '64 Corvair in the background and a Corvair Rampside pickup as well. Here's my '65 (pic taken Friday upon arrival) at a show Saturday in Helen, GA...took 1st in class.

 

Glad you are almost back on the road! Looking good and the shaved look does make it look cleaner.

 

That shaved look does look good! It seems familiar though, can't quite put my finger on it
