Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I caught my original on the entry to the Carousel at Summit Point Shenandoah last August, looks alot like your picture. I am running the P springs, and will be figuring out how to do a trans cooler sometime this year.

But the rear sway bar back on.
I was getting a lot of clunking on the driver rear, so I bought an 8 oz tub of suspension lube, took it off, removed the bushings, cleaned them, lubed the crap out of them, reassembled.
Hope its quiet now.
Then I fired up the JD garden tractor, and blew the foot of snow off the driveway to expedite clearing off.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I switched winter wheel/tires to summer wheels/tires (stock)

I found two of my McGard wheel locks cracked and barely hanging on the studs. I'm assuming they cracked due to thermal stresses and got loose. Both front wheel locks were cracked similarly, but rear wheel locks were ok. I'm just glad it didn't cause any damage or harm during my commutes.

so lessons learned, everyone go check your aftermarket lug nuts and wheel locks!

Also while the car was in the air, I went ahead and switched from 3/4" to 7/8" exhaust discs, since i don't annoy the neighbors enough.

Took my sister for a rip in the Boss. She loved it, Giggled like a school girl when I hung the tail out at 80.

This, the curbing at Sebring. Sometimes the track is not as wide as I would like it to be.

Stock or mgw?

Stock but for a Tremec.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Took mine off for good, this was with the P-Springs, with the car even lower it would have been torn off. I would like to figure out another way to get some free air in there. My shifter get so hot if I touch it below the ball it burns my fingers.

Should be able to duct some air in there with something along the idea of the brake cooling ducts.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Looks great 8)

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Im having the same problem with the yellowing.
Thinking of my options, paint or vinyl.

they come right out. 1 nut on the hood side and then just plastic clips they pop right out. I didn't remove the hood blanket just the 3 outer most clips on each side so I could look around and see how they were mounted. I think it can be done without touching the hood blanket.

Going to Plastidip mine soon. Good matte finish option that is not permanent.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I was looking at these options from Big Worm Graphix http://www.bigwormgraphix.net/Mustang-hood-vent-inserts-2013.htm

Jeff reports the inserts come out easily so painting or even Plasti-Dip is a good option as well.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

thanks for the insert link.

i wanted something that would somehow match the stripes.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Hey JT, I am trying it on the race tune right now and I notice the throttle response is better, but it is at a higher rpm, so running up to red line seems to be sooner than before. I don't notice any hp increase, of course for what little it claims to add, would not really be noticable..

I noticed when the hood is up and I rev on the throttle, I can deffinately hear the air being sucked in...
