    Those headlights are nice. I'd like to get a set of those for my f150. I think the original owner would've been better off using JB weld on that exhaust.

    Ok so the latest hitch in my Mustang story was the clutch pedal losing all the tension (http://www.steelcitymusclecars.com/f...e-clutch-cable). Ordered a cable, firewall adjuster,and quadrant from steeda. Installed this morning and problem solved. It lives again

    OK quick update. So the car has been having a fun time of breaking every time I drive it more than 500 yards from my house. So last time the quadrent went to hell and came back on a flatbed. Fixed that. Next time I took it out (about 1/2 mile from home) at the top of second gear pull loud POP and car stumbled to a barely idle on the side of the road. Thankfully it was just the t clamp on the throttle body popped off under boost. Now the funny part is that it's to small and was just barely holding on the the TB. Just slid the fitting on and limped it home. Started the process of replacing all the poopy worm gear clamps that procharger provides with t-bolt clamps. Took it out again and about 4 miles from home all of a sudden I smell a very strong smell of antifreeze. Temp gauge fine, but obvious problem. Limped it home again and popped hood. Coolant everywhere and couldn't find the source. Next day cleaned mess up refilled tank and started up car. Let it get up to temp. No leaks, drips, any thing. Seemed like a pressure cap on the coolant tank. Got ford replacement and drove it about 11 miles. No leaks and made it back under it's own power!! Victory

    I'm trying. The urge to set it on fire has cropped up a time or two, but so far I've resisted

    Nice Cam! Definitely know that feeling. Thankfully it hasn't been anything too expensive yet. Keep sorting out the bugs and it should be a fun toy this year.

    Sorting out the bugs is the worst. I spent a long time getting my car to make it more than 10 pulls without something going wrong lol.

    Call me first if you go this route. We'll shoot it with the AK and make it look like t3rrorism. That way, no deductible on your ins.

    It's just a Ford thing. I swear my car needs something replaced every year even if it sees 2000 easy miles per year. I should just start abusing it more and make replacing parts worth it at least.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
