Thanks Guys. Got the upgraded 2013-14 GT 500 Brake booster and master cylinder swapped in and flushed with Castrol SRF.



Will be doing my door #s later and a full suspension torque check when I final bleed the brakes.

Looking good. I'm curious to see if you notice any difference with the new booster.

The competition graphics bits look great! Though I dunno about the red 2

Looking good Steve!

You're going to have to post your impressions on the Ergo. That seat is at the top of my wish list.

The Ergo seat is perfect. I am a big guy 6'-1", 270 lbs, 38" eh 40" waist and I had a Circuit Plus but my bottom end wouldn't quite fit. With the large Ergo no problem and it fits very wel along the ribs and shoulders. Also like the removable head protections. I have it mounted on a sparco S197 specific seat base and sparco sliders. Rack it back to get in and out, adjust forward to perfect seat position. Only small issue is its very tall and just touches the plastic trim over the door window. Very solid feeling FIA certified seat.

Excellent. How often do you drive the 21 on the street anymore? I need a good seat that can be daily driven and also be an exceptional track seat to avoid adding one more step to my track prep. This seat seems like it would fit the bill nicely with the removable halo. Also, which roll bar do you have?

Looks good Steve! I really like the gold flake numbers.

Car still looks unfinished to me without the coyote and roadrunner stickers

EDIT - For reference

I've got them. Need a little break after this weekends, 18 hours working on it. Will do some more tonight.

Steve, your hottie is just fabulous! Love everything about it.

Coyote and Roadrunner decals are too cool, but I am digging the CP/Holman Moody hood decals, and what I hope is a under the radar shout out to Steve McQueen with the TAG Heuer door decal.

Very nice indeed Steve, cannot wait to see her for her coming out party!

 

[PeteInCT]

Just remember who always wins that race. Don't use ACME parts ! ;-)

 

[rpm3dinc]

looking good steve! I hope those graphics I sent you helped with the decal creation!

OK
After 12 long weeks the #21 Ford Mustang is once again race ready. After full body repair and paint and some major and minor mechanical upgrades (GT 500 cooling fan, new Boss alternator/idler/drive belt, 302S Rear LCAs, new master cylinder and brake booster, new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports) we are go for a 2 day trackfest at Watkins Glen International.
In the true spirit of the original but with more accurate graphics here it is;






Will be meeting up with Pete and some other friends on Sunday and will have many more photos and video of our 2 days of automotive Heaven.

Congrats Steve! Have fun!

 

[VoodooBoss]

Congratulations Steve, I'm glad it's heading back to the track. So you're going to run the PSS tires on the track?

 

[steveespo]

Thanks All.
Rick, I am running with the Audi Club at WG and since it's my first event with them I have to run street tires in intermediate group. I also have to drive the car since I haven't replaced the trailer. Got a good deal on a takeoff set, $700 for all 4 tires.
