How's the kitchen coming? Must be all done with this mustang talk.

Nah the spare trans is still in, and kitchen is in progess. I'm still taking time for running races, and just ran my first trail race. The weather was beautiful all weekend, so I figured why not take the Mustang!
Finished 12th of 108, but my legs feel like they were beaten with a bat.

Took the turbo Mach 1 to Cruisin Ocean City this past weekend. 700 mile trip and it did great. Didn't get a chance to play around much. Rained the whole drive there and all day Friday.
Before the trip I swapped out the rear lower control arms, going from both poly ends to a spherical and a poly, and the bolts are larger. What a huge difference. No more binding and having the rear feel like it's skipping around on the highway over bumps. Now 6 of the 8 bushings are spherical. The control arm sway bar brackets are nowhere close to where they should be, so for the trip I just drove without it. No front or rear sway bars. It really wasn't bad. I'm in no rush to get it back on.
Also replaced all the coil packs, which seems to have cured a high-RPM miss it was having. Adjusted the clutch pedal a bit higher for more disc clearance and the clutch seems happier.
This was the ocean view all weekend. Kind of a bummer.
