Almost 9 years ago....still my favorite pic from anything I've done on this car. I'm going back through old posts trying to clean up a lot of the chit chat and reduce the size of the thread

Suck it AOD!!
It actually came out pretty easy. I was surprised. I did it all alone with just me and a normal floor jack. 2 hours and it was out
I'm glad as hell i'm not putting this thing back in! It's heavy!!
I also found out it's not the original AOD. It's got 1989 engineering numbers all over it and my car is an early 1988. Guess that means it has less than 100K on it since that's what my car has.
Why do you have to pull the dash to install that pad cover. I though the two nuts were excessible from the glovebox and through the radio bazel?
but 1st would like to see if I can get the 2013 rear seats in the car
I have read they aren't the most responsive.I'm just going to eventually contact TMI and have them do a fox rear seat cover for me in the same style vinyl as the 99-04 rear seat.
Of course, TMI would actually need to reply to me. I've left a few voicemails that have gone unreturned
Maybe,I do like white face gauges
Mount that dash to a wall and little kids would have some fun! I know my daughter would still like that at 5 years old!Decided to assemble my old dashboard and hang it on the garage wall. Everything on it was original to my car except for the guage cluster.
Only part of the original red interior left. Had some good memories of my youth in front of this dash as this was my HS car.
Figure it was better off here than getting in the way in my basement
Well, when I did the c5 calipers, one of the selling points was the ability to run 1.25" thick rotors to absorb heat.
Well come to find out no really readily available, cheap 1.25" Mustang rotors. The 2000 R brembos are 1.1" rotors.
Not spending $800+ for 2-piece rotors from Baer, so trying this out. The gt500 rotors dimensions are very similar to the cobra 13" rotor....but 14" in OD.
So this is just a test fit. $60 for the rotor, $95 for the machining. Still need to balance it though, but only if this works.
I admit, I didn't do the legwork. Buddy from another forum who lives local got the rotor machines and gave it to me to test on my car. So let's see if it fits.
It's a massively thick rotor though. Do I need such heavy rotors? Prob not. I barely touch the pedal to stop the car...but i want it
You have a write up on that radio swap, right?
So should I be able to use my stock upper intake bolt for this? or does the explorer upper need longer bolt or something????
