Took my cousin out in my car today to Mexico, happened upon a392 SRT challenger. The dude was pretty cool, had crucial performance stickers on it. I gave him a nice big lead and played catch up, my car was on 10psi.

 

The best thing about current model and incoming model mustangs are the fact that you can make up to 900rwhp on a stock block/stock heads/stock valvetrain/stock maf/stock throttle body. Please tell me another sub 40k car that can do that. You can make over double what it makes off the showroom floor by bolting on some parts, and the 6 speed auto will take tons of abuse stock, will handle 800rwhp with no modifications at all. I'd bet the new 10 speed will handle 1000rwhp untouched.

Just paid, Anthony can you double check I'm registered, payment went through on PayPal, but the Eventbrite app hung up and kept saying loading.

Shit I have to get registered

As the title states, looking for an electric fuel pressure gauge. Checking to see if anyone has one they want to sell before I go buy new

Where on 33 did they get you?

 

I got a few trips down 33 coming up and rather not deal with johnny in the sky

 

between 36/37 and the first honda parkway exit.

 

i was actually coming back from Jegs warehouse on my Harley, and it was a saturday.

I got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago on rt33, they got me by plane. The state trooper in the car that pulled me over couldn't show me proof of speed, and told me they do it by stopwatch. I went to court today and plead not guilty.

 

I was reading up on a few things, and am I wrong is is it state law to have signs posted that speed is enforced by aircraft?

 

I have never contested a speeding ticket before, but relying on a person with a stopwatch for accuracy just rubs me the wrong way.

 

I have a few topics I'll bring up in court, but anyone have any other advice?

I'm happy about this. my car should be done by then lol

And another one

i have been in automotive manufacturing for 12 years, and i can say that article is spot on. i worked for honda for most of that time, and more recently a supplier. the nonsense is on both sides. the manufacturer and the suppliers both do some ignorant things. id would definitely agree that alabama is most definitely worse especially on OSHA recordables, but all the suppliers for honda over promise and make employees work 10+ hours a day and sometimes up to 7 days a week to keep good on deliveries. hence why turnover rate is crazy high, which in turn fuels the little to no training situations. its definitely not right. but i have also been in situations at honda where i was required to do a job with little or no training.

Give Grady a call, he should take very good care of you.

 

Good call on this! He was priced really well, he is about 2 weeks out, but said it could get done sooner. I'm gonna try to get down there and drop it off this week

I'm in need of having my 6R80 trans out of my mustang built. I have Exedy stage 2 clutch packs and TCS billet intermediate shaft. I was gonna try my own hand at it, but for time sake I'm thinking of just having it done somewhere. So recommend me a shop that can dandle this.

Tsc

Let me check if I still have mine sitting around

I bought one yesterday, local place to me had them I didn't know about 125# tank and fill for $150

I have an older Q5, but none the less, we love it. It's the 3.2l. Rides insanely smooth, handles incredible for what it is, and it's damn good in the snow.

Tractor supply sells them. I just did an exchange last year.

 

Checked there, I was trying to see if I could find one used, so I didn't have to spend $300 on a tank

looking for a tank for my welder. anyone got one for sale?

Would be interested in a set of 18,s too.

 

 

How much for that exact power coat job as the first pictured RPF-1's? I have 17x9"

 

 

Feel free to PM me and I can give you a quote

nice work man.

 

Couple of questions:

 

- Is there someplace online where you have a rate schedule? Or can you ballpark what some of this works costs (i.e. what does 4 rims usually cost in a solid color? what does an old steel motorcycle frame cost in gloss black?).

 

- is there a special coating you use for doing an aluminum radiator? does it affect the cooling properties any?

 

- what is the coating you use for head pipes?

 

- average turn around time?

 

Cost depends on what I'm doing, the color, what the current condition of the part is, etc. doing a generalized cost doesn't work to well, as every job varies slightly.

 

As for hot parts, I use Cerakote

Turn around time depends on the workload I have at the time, as well as what you are wanting done. If it's small stuff, I can bust out in a day. A set of wheels is usually 2 days.

 

I do have a lot of powder on hand, but I may not always have what you want on hand. So I need time to get specific color choices in.

There is low temp powder, but I won't powdercoat any plastic. There is no way to tell melting point of that particular plastic I'm doing unless I do a ton of research, but even then the plastic could melt before the powder flashes

Good job dude that's a ton of stuff.

 

That's not everything, that's just what I took pictures of lol.

 

I did an insane amount of stuff for Carlyle lately.

Looks great! Are you able to hydropdip? Or coat any plastics?

 

No hydro dipping.

I powder coat and cerakote

You need to quit your new day job and focus on this, you're damned good.

 

Eventually that will happen, but it will be a few years
