Limp to the next exit, if you can!!!!...You never want to do anything on a highway shoulder these days with all that distracted driving going on!!....Oops, my cell phone just beeped...........It's OK............I'm at home....................

Good to know they have these too. Mine and have been only on one year and two road trips so I'm hoping I can get a few more years out of them.

He's baaaaaack...

Thanks. I had all the parts custom wrapped at Top Notch Upholstery in Livonia MI. The wheel is a Boss, but re-threaded with white thread.

Damn. That's Nice. Too bad there isn't an aftermarket solution pre made. My steering wheel is due for a refresh

Went over the last details and car is ready for the first track day of the year this Sunday

Nice. Do you mind if I use that on the TMO FB page?

No problem. Use it as much as you want.

Cool place to put TMO decal !

She's a beauty! Both the wing and the decal!

First set of OEM wheels, curbed on pass side (own stupid fault).

Replacement set of Laguna Seca Boss wheels (black - also curbed on passenger side AGAIN).

New set of 19x10 LS charcoal wheels ordered (and now have 2 extra JUST IN CASE).

And I didn't tell the CFO.

I got my new Contis mounted on my spare set of LS wheels. These will be my regular street tires & if I get in the Big Bend Open Road Race later this month my tires for that. I went with 265 & 295. Right now I am #4 on the waiting list. They got my entry mixed up with another Powell from Houston. A lot of people named Powell running the BBORR for the first time this year, as I hope to.

Been there...done that......never a good feeling.................

Trailered her home last night from a great day with NASA at Pueblo Mototsports Park. It was a white-knuckle venture through first heavy rain that turned to a heavy snow before arriving safely in sunny Denver. Need to clean her up today and see how easy it will be to remove the Road Warrior paint protection.

First tyme running the Boss in cold weather and she performed well and without incident. Good to hang out with @Bill Pemberton and @tracktardicus on Saturday. These TMO guys are solid citizens!

After a long winter of not doing much to the Mustang. I finally installed the bump steer kit. I didn't think I would feel that much of a difference with it, but it helps a ton with the crappy roads around here.

After all these years I decided to replace the stock F/R 4X6 speakers and put some Kickers in. I had recently done them in my 150 and got the bug for the Boss. Read through Ace72's thread and some other videos. It is an improvement. Fronts are easy, rears a little more involved.

So I have had some slight noise/rattle that goes away when the clutch is depressed(thinking TOB). So since I want to do a new TOB, I though I might as well upgrade while I am in there(cause I don't want to have to pull the trans again anytime soon) So I ordered a Spec Stage 2+ clutch, Spec Billet Steel Flywheel, new Ford OEM TOB, pilot bearing, and new bolts for everything. Have the GT up on jack stands, and started prepping the car before everything gets here. Man O man I wish I had just pulled the driveshaft/mid pipe to install the X-Spec MGW. Took 5 min to remove, and it would have made it so much easier to work on. Live, and learn I guess. Other parts ordered are a BMR Radiator Support W Sway Bar Mounts / BMR Rear Upper Control Arm Mount / adjustable upper control arm, and Prothane Urethane upper Diff Bushing / Corbeau FX1 Pro Seats Driver & Passenger with matching brackets, and some GT500 mufflers. I have BBK long tubes, and a catted X-pipe, but with the RTR Competition axle backs I have was WAY too loud(I mean like I wouldn't even use more than part throttle while driving), and while they sound awesome with the stock headers/mid-pipe I thought I would throw the long tubes back on, and run GT500's, and hope they reign in the loudness a bit. Anyway made some decent progress so far today. Might actually try to get the trans pulled tonight.



SOOOO much more room to work:

Almost finished prep for the Big Bend Open Road Race. I got the Blowfish fire extinguisher bracket mounted and Boss cleaned up. Now it's just packing.

Took the Boss off the jack stands and took her out for the first drive of the season. Our snow from last week's storm is just about gone. Maybe its finally behind us here in SD.
I installed a Metco UCA and BMR's poly diff bushing. Driving around town, no more NVH than I had before.
Still need to torque the forward mount bolt to 240 ft/lb (its at 145 ft/lb now). Need to borrow a torque wrench that goes to 240. Dang that's a lot of torque.
