  1. Hidden jab at Corvette in 2012 mustang brochure

    Just noticed this- two years later.Take a look at your full line 2012 mustang brochure (assuming you keep that stuff like I do). The full page picture of a Mustang with the NAV system depicts the Sirius weather service- with a storm cloud right over Bowling Green... home of the Corvette...
  2. Ford Racing Gauge Pack

    I did it on my 2012 a year ago. At the time CJ Parts had the Ford kit on sale for less than $1,000. It is a very difficult installation (I used to do custom audio installation in my youth 20 years ago), and very easy to damage your dash with all of the components that must be removed and...
  3. LS tri gauges on a street Boss

    I did- not sure how to attache another post- but you can search for this:#1024 has arrived. LS gauge pack installed« on: August 02, 2011, 01:20:05 AM »
  4. TracKey is here! Those that are installing - please post!

    1024 is done. Installed 1 week after 1st failed attempt. The service mgr is a mustang freak, so I told him and the tech that did the work to take it out for a spin and report back (he's been my service mgr for years). When they came back in he asked if I was going to remove the exhaust plates. I...
  5. TRACK KEY ACTIVATED BUT cound not load program HELP?

    Well I called the dealer and advised them of what I learned here. They insisted that they did all of these things and want to call Ford Monday. The really frustrating part is that winter is setting in here in MN and my window to do this is quickly closing. I can't really bark... they are not...
  6. TRACK KEY ACTIVATED BUT cound not load program HELP?

    Same problem here- I spent two hours at the dealer this morning and left without the program installed. They tech said he was getting stuck on step 16 (whatever that is), but it looks like it is just before the "Track Key Active" message would appear. Tech said they had updated their laptop...
  7. 1:24 Scale Boss 302 Diecast

    My 13 year old son just presented me with a R/C Boss 302 in CO with BS and mostly correct wheels. Made by Bigtime Muscle. Windows are solid... so can't tell if they are the recaro's :)A bit larter than 1:18, but not much.
  8. #1024 has arrived. LS gauge pack installed

    Just west of twin cities. One of those GT3's belongs to my neighbor- brand new white 2011. He does go to BIR regularly. I'm actually really looking forward to the Track Attack as my 1st track experience. I spoke to them the other day- looks like this year might be too booked up for me to go...
  9. #1024 has arrived. LS gauge pack installed

    Same location as the old one. It is a pretty tight space to work in, but I did it from the topside of the engine. I suspect the original sensor is just on/off and the replacement actually measures pressure. I'll post a couple pictures when I can link them to this forum.
  10. #1024 has arrived. LS gauge pack installed

    You have to splice into the wire harness connected to the instrument cluster and run a line to a new oil pressure sending unit that also comes with the kit. This is probably not a install that many, if any, dealers have done before.
  11. #1024 has arrived. LS gauge pack installed

    I purchased the kit from CJ Pony Parts- $998 shipped and they had it in stock. My dealer wanted $1259 + tax + 2-3 weeks. It took some time- the installation manual that came with it is just so so. I had the dealer print off a couple exploded images of my dash so that I did not pull to hard in...
  12. #1024 has arrived. LS gauge pack installed

    Just brought home 1024- Orange/Black with Recaro package... and all important winter oil pan heater (apparently the dealer here in MN orders all cars with that). I was able to order without the cover/mats and put that money to good use for a LS gauge pack. 5 hours later- Installed! Looks great-...
