Lol, thanks Tony, looking forward to having it all installed!!


And today, for the girlfriend's Shelby, we just ordered a new MGW shifter.

She's been talking about it for months, things lined up just right recently for us to be able to do it.

Now shopping for shift *****, since the one she has now won't work with it.

You're welcome bro. Awesome!
I still a brand new MGW in the box, in the garage. The stock shifter really isn't too bad. (But isn't all that great either. LOL ) After about 5 minutes of driving, it seems to be "okay", so I haven't swapped it out. I have it if I ever do decide to have it installed along with a new GHIG Roush shift ****.

They make a lot of accessories/parts for various cars/models.

Some of their stuff is poor quality copies of other manufacturers, some of it isn't all that bad.

They sell under several names on eBay

I don't care for them since they rip off a lot of designs and their quality control used to be crap, still might be, don't know, don't care, I'll never buy their products to check them out for myself

Say that again?!?! You have a new MGW sitting in a box for how long now, tony? And you haven't installed it yet? Whaaaaaaaaaat? With as little as you drive your car, you should make sure it's the most enjoyable . Get that puppy on.

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Well,...that's just it. I don't drive it enough to really complain about it. lol I'll be honest though, I don't have many shifting issues with the shifter, except for the first 3-5 minutes, maybe? And only when engaging into 3rd gear. After that,...smooth sailing. It's not that bad. (For "stock". lol ) Not better than a MGW I'm sure though.
Plus,....what if I get a '15 Saleen Black Label? All is for naught.
lol

Well yesterday I got in the stand and getting ready to leave for work I pushed down on the clutch and with a loud bang the pedal went soft on me, I am dreading the opening of the bell house shift fork cover...I only had the cable for less then a month...time to figure out how it broke...

I entered mine into father's day carshow in my home town today and it was bitterly hot. i'm thoroughly burnt. Troy had his gt500 beside me and another family friend had his e-type jag on the other side. I even ran into old family friends and relatives.

Lol. I will disown you if you get a 15

As far as your comment about shifting issues, I never had any either. But the point is you don't realize how much better the MGW makes the shifts feel until you actually shift it with it on. Get it on tony

Yeah,....the throws will definitely be shorter with the MGW and all the reviews are great.
Maybe someday.

Pulled the green machine out of the garage after supper and did a little wheel detailing. Inside the wheels, outer wheels and inside the wheel wells. Some miscellaneous pieces as well.

Put my 3 (almost 4) year old niece in the driver's seat and revved it a few times for her. She came over earlier and I had the hood up, cleaning debris out of the cowl drains. She told her daddy "I wanna see Uncle Skunk's motor!" (exact words, btw. She's definitely a car girl, and "Skunk" how she pronounced "Scott" when she was littler and it stuck). So I carried her over, and showed her. The way I park, my rear is what she always sees. This was probably the first time she ever got to see the front end.

She's been obsessed with ponies for the last 3-4 months. You can imagine her reaction when she saw what was in the front grill.

So, in short, I may have made a Mustang fan for life out of my niece with my Mustang today.

Three issues with it Tony:

1) The top doesn't go down.
2) It doesn't photograph well. I've seen the pictures you take.
3) The top doesn't go down.
