Washed her again. I hate pollen.

And here's the big news to celebrate: got the title in today's mail! I've been waiting for that since I made the last payment a month ago. She's mine, all mine! Woohoo! :banana:

Also, I tried to find an angle to photograph that didn't look good. Totally failed.

Picked up my 2017 GT premium with PP last week, so far I have added a Roush rear spoiler, installed a set of Steeda jacking rails, had the windows tinted and put an after market front license plate bracket on. Ordered a full size front tire and wheel to use as a spare, I know its not a good fit in the trunk but it is better than the alternative. ill post some photos later.

Changed out 2 exhaust clamps on my car trying to get rid of a couple of leaks, new clamps, still leaking. Gonna have to use some exhaust pipe sealant like Edd from Wheeler Dealers always does. Love that guy.

Then I moved on to the fiancee's Shelby.
Cleaned the Alcoas and installed them on the car for the season, then detailed the whole outside of the car. That was much needed since the last time we drove the car we got caught in a couple small showers on the way home.

She's much happier now:

I finally installed the Steeda 3.5" one piece drive shaft and safety loop that have been sitting in my garage for almost 2 months.

Sarge 5/28/17 06:27 PM

After a few days of working my way through the Cobb tuner manual, I switched tunes from Stage 0 to Stage 1. Seems fine for idling in the garage. Will test drive tomorrow.

Still trying to figure out how to update my tire circumference. It's only a 3% difference, but I like my speedo to be accurate.

Good luck Pete!

Ordered a set of Steeda jacking rails.
Will be nice to lift the car from the middle when I want to do both side tires or just simply not have to use the pinch welds anymore

A little costly, but bought this.

Changed the oil and filter, put in some fresh Amsoil 5w50 full synthetic oil and a new Wix filter.
Also tried to seal up some leaking exhaust joints with some Permatex exhaust sealant, ... that was a waste of time. I'm gonna have to have it all welded.

What happened to the exhaust Gabe? Did you change it up again and now it's leaking? Fitment no good?

kanine 6/4/17 06:01 PM

Installed my new Boss lip. Hmm, ended up with 3 extra bolts, not including the ones that were replaced with the smaller bolts that came with the kit.

Just trying to get rid of a couple of leaks that seem to have developed and gotten worse over time.
Ended up sealing up OK on one side, the other side I had the local Meineke put some of their own sealant and adjust the clamps, and they also touched up 2 spots on the weld in the "H" of the h-pipe.
So far so good.

Today I installed the Steeda jacking rails and while I had it up in the air I went over every bolt/nut for the rear suspension, including the adjusting nuts for the UCA & Watts link.
A couple of them took a couple more turns, but nothing stuck out as the definite culprit for a rattle I've been getting over bumps lately.
Also took the trunk carpet out, vacuumed the little bit of dirt that I saw in the spare tire well, applied some of the soft part of Velcro to several areas where hard connectors were touching/hitting metal, and pushed in all the christmas-tree plastic connectors that I could see, to make sure all the plastic panels are tight.
Can't drive the car right now since it's raining out, but looking forward to seeing if any of that fixed it.

I was perplexed to see the Steeda jacking rails be kinda short.
They fit fine into the spots/holes where they were designed to reach, but there are other mounting holes about a foot further back where they could be attached to:

They did arrive in perfect shape though, very well packed :

Good. Hopefully that's it!
Good luck.
