Located on the west coast of Canada, not really a victim of the weather yet... it's sunny and 60F here today. But mid October is when I normally put the car away, before the really wet weather rolls in

Great looking car. I bet you can't stand seeing it just parked in the garage during the winter.

Yesterday I took the Niche wheels off, re-installed the 2010 GT500 18's.
Cleaned them up, reset the tire pressures, loaded a final version of the current tune, set the correct rear axle ratio and tire size, and drove it to school.
Still have to reinstall the Steeda Sport rear springs to bring that rear-end back down where it belongs, but I was quickly reminded how much I still LOVE the way these 18's look on there ... and yes, the Niche Milans are officially for sale, scraped up right front wheel and all ...

Failed inspection because I need front tires. So my service rep told me to drive it for a month then mothball her till spring, then get my tires and they'll slap the stickers on for me. Which is exactly what I'm gonna do. I don't need new tires just sitting in the garage all winter. Ran a bunch of errands with her today. She just loves this cooler weather!

Heading out shortly to the NH Mustang Club's fall Dyno Day.
It's 31 degrees out right now, only gonna be a high of about 58-60 degrees.
Smaller/lighter 18" wheels/tires on the car and cool air, I'm certainly hoping for a number higher than the 608-610 she put down when the tune was done.

I was filling the car up yesterday and it'd only fill half way then shut off and refused to fill up any more. Had this car for over 10 years now, and this is the first time I've ever had the hard refueling problem. it was a brand new Gas Station, so I'm thinking the flow was to high for the bad design these early S197s had. Went back to my normal place of fill up and no problems filling the rest of the way

Tried to support my local ford dealer, but they wanted crazy prices and they needed to order every part i needed. So i ordered it online instead.

Ha, yeah, thanks.
Ended up at 604.7 rwhp and the same 517 rwtq as when I got tuned.
Which is all within tolerances, could've been some slightly worse gas than I had when I got tuned, whatever.
I wish today's number was higher but either way the car is a blast to drive.

Fiancée's car improved, even though she was on 20's today.
She went from 643/608 to 656/661.
Yeah, she's happy, lol

That's pretty awesome Gabe! How many people get to say they have a 600rwhp Mustang? Congrats!

And yes, Lisa should be happy. That's a beast!

Went driving around town. Stopped by a car meet and saw Nathan taking pics there. Witnessed a 30+ BMW Fall color car cruise on the freeway with a bunch of Euro turbo's in tow, The whole crew rolled by me. Picked up some doughnuts. Just another normal fall day.

Killer stuff Gabe!! Love it dude.
I was thinking of going with the ice tank, not the Killer Chiller, that VMP sells as well. Same concept. I think that helps out a lot with keeping horsepower on the table as it keeps everything cool.
