you want to get camber plates instead. Measure how much clearance you have between tire and MR strut. You should be able to run 20mm thick spacers instead of 25. 4-5mm gap is plenty.
Camber plates are coming for sure. I just didn't have time/funds (buying a house soon) to order those, plus springs and a front sway bar, and get all of that installed before my first few events. I'm hoping that the 25mm spacer leaves me enough strut clearance (there's roughly 7-10mm) to add a bit of camber via the bolt, as opposed to the 20mm spacer leaves me with less poke, but less strut clearance and no space for some temporary camber.

This is 100 percent just a temporary setup until the rest of the suspension goes in. I doubt I'll run more than 4-5 events with it.

All done with wheel studs! Took it on a shakedown drive and chucked it around a few corners and a roundabout. No rubbing at least with anything I can throw at it on a public road. There's some places I'm going to try and get to tomorrow where I have a bit more space to play.

@Spacebird thanks for the parts!

Got around to installing my redline stitched console and knee pads. Matches the cali special interior nicely

Nice!

I'm guessing one-available, used off eBay? But if you found a source cheaper than a Ford dealer like Levittown, I would like to add the soft touch console top and sides to my Redline 2016.

Tested the 303 Fabric Guard I put on my vert top a few days ago. The water bounces off and beads up beautifully. Sprayed an entire 32 ounce bottle on and brushed it in with a new China Bristle 3" paint brush. I think the mistake some people make with this product is skimping with it. You have to be generous with the application.

Anyway I also took the 5.0 for the first time in 2 wks due to the ridiculous amount of salt they put on the roads here. Talk about fun..... This car is worth every penny and it's the best toy I've ever owned. Filled up the tank, made the Coyote howl a few times and she put a grin on my face that would've frightened the devil.

Installed digital cluster.

Very easy install, had to solder the 4 wires for the right steering wheel controls. I pinched them with the screwdriver I used to remove the airbag. Somehow they got in the way while pushing the spring to release the airbag.

Added smoked side markers today.

And gave it a quick wask with the new power washer.

That was the good.

Now for the not so good. Tried to get the BBK catch can installed. No go. I need to trim the intake side of the hose. Maybe. I'm going to give it another test fit tomorrow. Then tried to remove the chrome exhaust tips to replace some slick looking cf ones. Also a fail. Could not get the tips to budge.

Any tips on removing tips?

Had a new fuel pump installed two days ago because it took a shit on me.

Car was acting funny last Sunday when I shifted down to 5th gear, it was a stuttering feeling and not hauling ass like it used to. Next day check engine light came on. Car started but was idling weird and felt like it was going to shut off. So I drove it to work and dropped it off at my mechanic who's 2 minutes away from my job. He test drove it, but car died on him. Was going to replace the relay but when the part came that didn't help and he said I need a new fuel pump. Installed it Friday and car is fine now. He said there was a lot of debris in the fuel tank and told me not to wait until it's almost empty to get gas.

🙄 luckily I didn't have to pay a lot for it and my baby is back running normal.

Hope he cleaned it before putting the new pump cause it will happen again. Also did you check where you take your gas? they are probably the cause?

Yeah he said he emptied the gas, dropped the tank and cleaned it then installed the new pump.

what do you mean where I take my gas? Where I buy from?
