    ugliest ricer ever

    Silly question I know, but... has anyone ever tried to take a car with these body kits out on a road course? I have to wonder if any of those kits actually do any good, or would it just be a large case of hilarity for those watching? ;) I've never seen a car like this on a track. :rolleyes:

    Anybody here autocross or road race?

    I've done both, but not with the Mustang... yet. ;) (I just got it 2 months ago...) Is this your first "ever" autocross? If so, rely on the wisdom of others! Everyone I've met at an event is always very helpful. Find some other people there with Mustangs and ask their advice. Learn how to do...

    Blown Differential!

    Let's just say that the new differential has been properly tested... ;) I'm now at 120 mi. AD... "After Differential". :D I've hardly had the radio on at all since it was fixed! :nice:

    2011 Faux Gas Cap Details!

    Not finding an answer elsewhere, I thought I'd post all the details here for the Faux Gas Cap on the 2011's. *I was intending to replace it with a decal... :rolleyes: Here's the Faux Gas Cap: Here's what it looks like underneath: *Notice it is NOT a smooth surface under there! Any...

    Commercial

    Have you seen the ads for "Car Warriors"? Two teams of "experts" take old beater cars and "restore" them in 72 hours! :eek: I don't even want to see a car that was just painted in 72 hours (Maaco, anyone?), forget about a full, top to bottom resto. in 72 hours! Those cars wouldn't be worth...

    Blown Differential!

    Picked up my car today! Only 2 business days, so that's not too bad. Made it home okay... haha. ;) I did feel a slight vibration in the car while driving home, I hope that's not a bad sign. It seemed to be gone by the time I got home, though... :scratch: Finally warm enough to wash it...

    Blown Differential!

    2011 GT Premium, auto trans. 534 miles, NO mods at all yet. Well, driving in to work this morning on the highway, I had a bit of an issue... Traveling 70 mph on Cruise, I felt a "tug", it felt like the car down-shifted. (This was on a flat, level road.) Shortly after that, a vibration started...

    Where to put all these gauges?

    I can't find pictures of it now, but a friend of mine made a custom box that fit along the top of the windshield, next to the rearview mirror. It looked pretty good the way he did it, and I'd never seen it done before. Just a thought...

    Photos: Gauges to Dash instead of A pillar

    One "trick" I've seen racecars use (since most of your gauges have red needles) is to mount the gauges so that the needle is pointing straight up when it's in the normal range, regardless of how the gauge face is tilted. That way it's "glance-clear" when a gauge is out of it's "normal" range...

    Got a CUSTOM STEEDA Dyno Tune!!

    Hmmm... so, has anyone had an A/T on a road course yet and pushed the lil' button? Would that make it downshift as you brake for a corner and then (maybe) be in the right gear for corner entry-exit? :shrug: Inquiring minds want to know... :D

    Got a CUSTOM STEEDA Dyno Tune!!

    LOL! Thanks Todd, will do! :nice: Will the button on the shifter lock the trans. in 4th (once you get into 4th)?

    Got a CUSTOM STEEDA Dyno Tune!!

    Thanks Rob! I can't order it quite yet, need to save up a bit first. ;) Do you think this tune will be loaded "standard" on an X3 ordered for an '11/auto in the future? Also- what effect would the stock exhaust have on the results, maybe -10 hp or so? I haven't decided yet which mufflers to go...
