This brings up a question - I saw painted caliper covers that bolt on. Are those real cheezy , okay, orjust frowned upon phoney baloney
I’ve seen them in person and wasn’t a fan. They looked bulky to me.

I had to try a couple of times, since this is my first manual car (and sports car, for that matter), and for some reason it didn't occur to me that the handbrake wouldn't let me 'activate' the line lock. But once I tried it without the handbrake, oh boy, I felt like a sixth grader in love sitting next to his crush... Blushing and butterflies and all, hahaha
Did you take the traction control off ? I read you should do that.


Thanks for the reassurance on the caliper covers bjstang - I'm still not sure. I like the color but they look a bit bulky in pics. Hopefully I see some in person soon.

Had a Borla S Type catback installed. Going to try it for a couple weeks, but might order the resonator to quite it down a little. We had the Touring on the last Mustang, but Borla doesn’t offer it as a kit anymore.

Eh, I think they don't look good, IMHO I'd rather have the stock grey caliper than those chunky amorphous ones, just my 2 cents. Having said that, I saw some on ebay that looked more like calipers (but I'd try to remove the fake Brembo logo), but I was reading that supposedly, caliper covers (especially the cheaper ebay ones) can affect braking performance due to over-heating of the calipers.

My other problem is that I don't know what color to paint the calipers on a Triple Yellow Mustang... I was thinking either red, yellow or black. I'm open to other suggestion, tho.

Well, I put it in Track mode, so the TC should've been off. But I've heard that the car doesn't need to be in Track mode to unlock Line Lock
