Good install pics, thanks!

Yep, the NVH increase with the WL bushing insert is noticeable at first, but you get used to it. I don't even notice it anymore.

Installed a second race seat for the passenger:



Moved the harness and gel pack from the Stock seat to eliminate the air bag warning (will post on "how to" later.....).

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Went off...WAY off. Was in a long sweeper going about 70 mph when I hit a big bump ("lip" really) and got into a tank-slapper. I only tried once to save it and then it was both feet in. Yee Haw! This is a "grassroots" track, so no fancy gravel pits to slow the car down. I spun into the freshly mowed grass and kept on going. I slid all the way past the mowed grass and into the tall grass (hay, really), before coming to a stop. I would have got out and taken some awesome "You Are Here" shots, but in Texas, it takes about two seconds to start a grass fire that burns down a whole county. I didn't want to be THAT guy, so I immediately drove out of the brush and back onto the track. No real harm, except that I really scratched the crap out of my paint on one side. I talked to a detailer and oh boy am I going to pay the price for that. Hilariously, the inside of the car looked like it had been used for a hayride. The picture does not do it justice.

The photos are from Facebook, so let me know if you can't see them and I'll put 'em up somewhere else.

Removing and returning my one piece aluminum driveshaft. Heavy vibrations at 60mph and gets worse the faster I go. Just as bad if not worse on decel. Had Ford set the pinion angle and then I removed it, cleaned all mating sefaces, re tapped the holes and put it back on with no difference. Stock one goes back in today. :'(

tried rotating it 180 on the mounting points? That is the answer dyno tech gives to people when their shafts vibrate

That's awesome. Up here we end up mowing alfalfa, which the front splitter handles like a champ by the way. In fact, it's so efficient that it sails right through the brake cooling ducts and when it hits the rotors it looks and smells like something out of a Cheech & Chong's "Up in Smoke".

So do we ask, "Is Gary smokin' de alafalfa mon?" ;D

Spectacular job, Jimmy! Now I know the meaning of grass roots racing

I hit a large tumbleweed at 100+ on the back straight of Thunderhill and my interior looked very similar. It's almost a year later and I'm still finding pieces of it in my car. I'm glad there was no major damage from your off road excursion.

Installed the Blowfish Racing brake ducting and spindle ducting kit last night, fits WAY better than the kit I was running. Thanks Steve!

Installed Blowfish Racing tow hook, Areocatch Hood Pins, Ford Racing brake duct kit and LS front splitter.

The grass being greener on the other side of the road might not apply in this circumstance......

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Oil & filter change, wiped some dust off the roll cage...only a couple weeks until she hits the track again!
