Anyone need (want) a new (or old) Mustang? Some nice stuff up on Bonnette's:

If not, they're at least some nice car-**** to drool over...

You like FGT? When I got my GT/CS I was talking about it with a former co-worker. He wanted to check it out and then he came by with this... just a little something he keeps hidden in his garage... *humbled*!!!
It's an original he's been rebuilding for the past 5 years or so...

i can't reveal my secrets before i'm 100% positive it'll happen when it's supposed to...we all know things don't go as planned all the time
if you don't like the redline i'll take it off your hands 
No, still have it (sort of emotionally attached to it in a weird way, it's never let me down in any way over the years)
The Escort Redline model just received a firmware update in the last few days which supposedly puts the performance on a par with the V1 in most bands, and even superior in some. The Redline also has a ton more techie options like access to an online speed trap database through a bluetooth connected cell phone with the SmartCord Live option.
I'll be very interested to see how the two stack up in real world use. I just got back from the local notary, getting the prize acceptance/liability waiver form completed and sent off to Roush.
Now the wait begins....

This clutch/flywheel disaster is starting to turn into a real nightmare.
The tech at Ford installed everything "no problem", but can't for the life of him get the CKP sensor relearn to stick. Every time he test drives it, the code comes back.
Their first response is to blame the aftermarket clutch and flywheel. Of course.
So now they have to pull the transmission off again and see what's wrong.
This was not supposed to cost me $2,000 to fix. If they blame the clutch/flywheel, I'm going to be pretty close to it in out of pocket expenses after they double charge me for labor. This far into the hole, I may just have them put the stock pieces back on and I'll take some time off from work and fix this myself. This is EXACTLY why I try to do all car work myself. I'm going to blow a grand on someone else screwing up what should be a relatively simple install. Not saying it's easy, but this is ridiculous.
I am livid.
