Just had a 20000 mile service done today.They pumped up my tyres again to 37.I thought they were 32 all round !
Yep, 32 all round. Mind you temperature on Friday varied between 2deg and 22 deg which doesn’t help with stable pressures.

I fitted the Ford Performance hood struts and wasn't keen on the instructions stating I should drill a 1" hole in the battery cover. I had a better idea..



I thought I'd cut a hole the same shape as the support so it would look a little tidier when in place. I think it does??

Smartarse.

Nice job :thumbsup:

I finally got round to my first mod today. This meant I was able to get my fender protectors out for the first time in 9 years!!

I'm sad like that, and will spend longer doing a job if I think I can get a better result.
You not fitted that exhaust yet?!

Fitted this. Bought it off a dodgy looking geezer with a furry dashboard in a car park. Probably regret it. :D

Yeah, pretty much identical to my first one.

BTW, think you might need to check your fitting...it's supposed to look like this:



You hold the strap up to the boot and THEN put the fixing through with the washer and screw on top of it all. Yours looks like it's recessed into the bracket?

Not much in the mod scene. Update on IC is ETS finally sent it to MAP and it's on it's way to Stackry at the minute courtesy of [MENTION=21881]MustangMustHaves[/MENTION] . Birthday tomorrow so hopefully a bit more cash to splash on some mods of some sort lol... Or just get some mods of 'stang related things

Went down to london this weekend, got a decent MPG, but the Miles to Empty total shocked me - 430 from a full tank! I've done 42+ mpg on journeys before, but never seen the miles to empty from a total tank rise this high.

As much as I love the GT, I do miss that range...I'm posting this for photo evidence that my Ecoboost was better than Manders :p

I don't usually fill up my tank, but I did in the GT recently - with premium. Best part of ÂŁ70, range - 286 miles :eyebulge: That hurt. But then I hit the happy button and the pain want away :)

Shots from the cruise/photoshoot with [MENTION=24982]anubis[/MENTION] [MENTION=22119]RyStang72[/MENTION] and some others (not on 6g) started to filter through :D

I've said it before, and i'll say it again, Ryan can take one hell of a fucking shot :O

Spent last few days road tripping in this lovely triple yellow Mustang GT cab auto and for here it's perfect. Ford should make none PP cars available in the U.K. as it rides superb and putting power down in the auto a doddle, just floor it and hardly no wheelspin, surprising as it's got 235's on the rear. Lovely drive, immense roads and so relaxing to drive out here unlike the Uk.
