So today I installed a Shaftmasters Aluminum Driveshaft that I bought from another forum member. So far the car feels a bit more free on the bottom end, which is kind of what I was expecting. I forgot to take pics while the car was up, so sorry about that. I also received in the mail the Mishimoto coolant tank in black, which will be going into the car tomorrow to replace my JLT tank. On a side note, Mishimoto makes a really nice box.

I also watched the documentary about the production of the 2015 Mustang called "A Faster Horse" and I think it is a must watch. Really insightful and well done. It's on Netflix.

Mishimoto coolant tank is installed. Much better looking IMO than the JLT. Next up are paddle shifter extensions that I bought from CJPP. Curious to see how they are going to look. I also made a short video of the blower running on a cold start right after installing the tank. :cheers:

So I didn't really do anything today but I just wanted to share this for those who may be interested. I just installed the Mishimoto tank and today when I was driving to cars n coffee my pulley shredded the hose on the back side of the tank. I had the same amount of space as it had when the JLT was installed, the difference is this tank seems to be a bit heavier, so couple that with the vibration and it equals a bad combination. We were able to MacGyver it though. We cut the hose so it was shorter and tie wrapped it a bit tighter, but the key was the front where the tank attaches to the radiator. We needed to get rid of that gap to stop it from moving so we used pieces of the old hose and wedged them down between the two spots where the tank meets the radiator and so far problem is solved. Ultimately I may relocate the hose to the side or just get a 90 degree hose to connect to the current hose. Not sure if anyone else with a Mishimoto and a Whipple has had this issue, but just thought I would throw it out there.

Had a crawfish boil at [MENTION=10429]Scuba2015[/MENTION] house. [MENTION=17459]altjx[/MENTION] joined us and took a few of these great shots. This is what over 3,000 horsepower looks like in one driveway (and garage). Enjoy!

Installed CJPP paddle shifter extenders. I haven't driven yet, but so far they feel nice. They are a bit large but give much easier access to the paddle shifters. I also got a custom euro plate for shows. They forgot to send me the frame to mount it, which is why I didn't take a pic of it on the car. Other than that it's pretty nice looking.

Ordered LED side markers from CJPP. I blame [MENTION=17459]altjx[/MENTION] for this one for sure. What's that old saying, "the devil made me do it?" My new saying is "Alton made me do it!"
