Winter Projects
So who all has projects lined up for this winter? Here is what I have in store, providing that the time and funds don't dry up!
- Change Oil/Filter with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5w20 (just hit 5k miles)
- Change Manual Transmission Fluid (probably with Royal Purple)
- Remove brake calipers and paint red with Duplicolor caliper paint
- Have rotors turned and install Hawk HPS pads
- Install Off-Road X-pipe
- Install new rear LCAs (thinking UPR Billet LCAs)
- Install new UCA and mount (probably UPR pro street)
- Install JLT Oil Separator

Bumping, think I'm going to do CAI-tune this winter, or maybe I'll wait till spring, pretty sure thats what Santa is bringing me because I found out I'm not getting coal.
You'll love the JLT Oil seperator, should have come factory, I HIGHLY suggest anyone with a coyote to get one, best long term investment for around 100 bucks you can do for your stang. I've changed mine twice since last oil change it was 1/16-1/8th full last time. Going to drain it again before I garage her.

I'm going to try to get the x-pipe put on tomorrow if everything lines up. The stang is garaged elsewhere for the winter so I have to work around another person's schedule. The LCAs are a Christmas present, so they will go on shortly after I get them

Hey guys I've been looking into putting some UCA and LCA on my 5.0 over the winter because the wheel hop on my car is down right aweful. I can't stand going around a corner getting on it and just feeling that vibration behind me.
Anyways this is my list for the winter (Buffalo can be a bit of a burden in the winter) and let me know if I'm missing anything on my suspension upgrades that would help with the wheel hop and overall handling.
1: Upper and lower control arms (not sure of a brand right now)
2: Lowering springs
3: Panhard bar
4: Strut tower brace
other than this I might add a anti-sway bar kit....if you would call it that and then on to the performance mods.
I would rather take care of my handeling mods first because of warranty voids on messing with the internals. I do plan on making my own custom exhaust.....and by custom I mean making the whole thing from scratch.
