Happy Fri-YAY.

I’m convinced these are waters with food dye

Installed 4" to 8" Screen Upgrade. The stock USB hub in my 2020 base works with the new system. Now I need to get the Drive Mode switch working.

Also installed the PP1 dash panel and gauges. I connected the gauges to the plug located behind the radio screen and they both function without modification.

What all is needed for for the gauge install? Tried looking it up a few weeks ago and it mentioned needing a lot more parts than what you are describing.

Added red Diode Dynamics LED's: Map lights, visors, and glove box. Need one more for the trunk though.

Great mod. I went green, and then changed the my color mode door and footwell colors to green. Looks great with the car and makes a neat talking point.

Someone messaged me about having a set of cali grilles I already kinda passed on the idea because couldn’t find a set worth buying.

would my car look better with cali grilles or stick with gt grilles? Would be awesome if someone could photoshop them.

Ive always liked the GT grills over all the other OEM options. They give the car a much more aggressive look. The stock EB and cali grills just look more... laid back or passive. Just my .02.

NEITHER. It needs a corral grill. Every Mustang does. Yours even more with the silver wheels and window trim.

Just for clarification (don't have sticker shock). New, new take-offs and used come and go in the market.

Ya know......this week has sucked.

My co-workers are down with COVID. I'm here doing everything, which has just been dealing with/fixing problems, and not meeting any new clients because it's the quiet time of the year.

I just want to get in my car and drive. Just enjoy a nice drive, get out of this area for awhile.

Thank you Ford, for making a great car that brings some many so much pleasure.

I like the very open, non-horizontal grilles. Plain, but in a neat way. Cervinis;

New set of Michelin ps4’s for the car. Taking of the cups 2’s to save them.

Installed Rodeheavers Fuel System and got the Car tuned over at AED she did pretty good for only 12psi

Stock stat is 190 degrees. Sounds like it is stuck open to me....

ive been driving 20-30 mins
I idle at 185-186.8 even, doesn’t go higher, second I start moving, it drops to 170 and climbs back up.
On highway it stays 100% at 185.

but I havnt seen it go above 186.8 that’s when it lets coolant pass i assume, because it’s immediate drop to 170-172%

my needle hasn’t made it to the center of green on my dash. I know it’ inferred temp.

donyou think I made a bad decision to put mishi in my eb? It’s 47* out to.

I mean... I’ve been idling 10 minutes and that guage on dash doesn’t go any higher.

before I could idle and engine head temp could get into 200s up to 215 I think.Brought it down to 195 when coolant passed.

now it’s 186.8 max and 170 low. I hope another eb owner chimes in saying if they can get into middle of green in summer or not lol.

Added a Holly Sniper shift light today.
Have the FP pp3 and the car goes ape anywhere over 6k... and last thing I want to do is look down. But then missing shifts sucks too. So, problem solved!

Hey Donald,
From the 2020 service manual

Starts to open	175.9 °F ( 80 °C) - 183.1 °F ( 84 °C)
Fully open	206.5 °F ( 97 °C)

So are my temperatures perfectly safe? And thank you for that info! It just concerns me I havnt got it to middle of green. Maybe if I drove for awhile on highway Itl get up there.

I was panicking a bit. But the green gauge is oil temp and that’s inferred somehow
