My buddy got a HURST deck lid panel for his 2021 Mustang GT and gifted me his OEM deck lid. My 2017 deck lid has scratches and swirls - I think this will be a upgrade - what do you guys think. Pic on bottom is my deck lid and the new donated one.

Yes , 10r80 with 3.55 Torsen.
Amsoil inside.

I almost ordered the diff cooler but I think I will hold off until I test to see if my diff can hold up to 30 min sessions first. So far I've only run 20min sessions. Last track day was 92F outside at NCM.
Did you add the friction modifier?

I asked a guy in the gas station who had bought the silliest colour :

240-A46-FA-2-ABC-4-FD5-BC6-A-F96-A1-CFD5-F9-D.webp


He said it was him and I wasn’t going to argue - he seemed like a really nice guy, but he looked like a white Mike Tyson (including the facial tattoos !) … :like:

I couldn't remember so I checked my notes and didn't find anything. That probably means that I didn't add it.

IIRC there wasn't consensus on this forum if it is really necessary. I can't remember what it is supposed to do.

What do you think?

Supposedly it just reduces the lockup bias just a tad to make the diff more streetable. Probably bad for track use and performance in general.

Put on my Craig’s front plate mount. Very easy no drill install. With plate off you can’t even see the bracket. Took it for a little 17 mile trot on the highway. This is the first time I had it out since I picked up Monday.
wow 🤩

Is it basically a very strong magnet that is capable of holding it on? How is it at high speeds? I'm so glad OH switched to 1 plate, I feel bad for Mustang owners in 2-plate state.

Tried and failed to program the home link remote for my new garage, and refilled the windshield washer reservoir ;-) May go for a drive later. EXCITING!
Dude, those things are so way harder than they need to be. Both my Bullitt and wife's new/used F150 were a major PITA to program and they still work only if you hold the button for long and even tilt the visor toward the windshield/garage.

Steeda clutch line and now a wash

How hard is this and how much better of a clutch feel is this?
Nothing beats a track day! That looks like a nice facility too.
I'm jelly, I got couple planned out to Nelson Ledges and Pitt, but I can't find anyone to head out with :(

Looks good! I still can't believe in 6+ yrs they couldn't give us a good trunk closing way without having to touch something that's a fingerprint magnet...

Yessir it is. OEM ford bumper and parts. My car is a fully optioned 18 magride premuim car. Mach 1 front end will bolt right on to any 18+ car. Only difference in the Mach to the GT is there is wiring differences in the turn signaling and blinkers. ( turn signals are actually the same part numbers as 15-20 GT350s/R's) Colors are mostly the same on wiring I just had to cut and make some OEM wiring harnesses to get them to work and plug in like factory. I acutally used the Diode dynamics GT350 LED turn signals on mine with have a DRL feature and sequential blinkers. Lot of Aero and brake cooling benefits doing this swap. Pictured below is the stock PP1 underbelly and the Mach underbelly(double the size). Also the Mach inner fenders are vented to get cold air from the side grills. There are ducting tubes also that is the same part/part numbers used on the GT350 on the Mach that route the air directly from the center lower grill corners to the brake rotors. I was lucky and got access to a complete bumper essentially that was brand new minus some minor defects from the factory. Im still into this front end swap almost $3k. That getting a deal on the bumper complete and my pricing on discounted Ford OE parts. If I had to buy everything regular price and separate it would prob be close to $5k for everything......A LOT for essentially a front bumper cover and some Aero. Looks wise tho it fixes my biggest pet peeve of this car, the front end. Before it was never aggressive like the higher trim cars. Spec wise now my car is essentially the same as a Mach if you'd buy one brand new. I was the first to figure out the rear OEM GT500 valance rear aero swap last year on 18+ cars. Levitown Ford parts built their rear valance swap kit off the part numbers I sent them when I first ordered all the parts. So only thing Its missing for a complete Mach swap is the badges now (which i'm not doing)lol. Even though the car is essentially the same as a Mach 1 in not going to up badge the car to something it really isn't. 18-21 aftermarket Aluminum GT350 front fenders get here tomorrow and those will be fitted and sent off to paint. Stoked to see it all finished and with a built transmission. ha!

You sir are awesome. I think you may be the first person to do this swap. It would be very helpful, to many, if you could post some part numbers or maybe even write up a mini "how to". I know a lot of people that would do this swap in a heartbeat, especially for track benefits.

Here's my response to Craig's plate holder question. It uses very strong 3M tape and secures under lip of bumper. I did not want to drill holes into my brand new ride 😀 Still waiting the 72 hours before attaching the plate holder. Here's the links with more info.

Honestly not hard at all. Probably took me less than 40 min or so. The hardest part is probably sitting there and pumping that clutch pedal.. and as of feeling I’m honestly not sure. Maybe it did maybe it didn’t. I just ordered it since my mgw is coming in this week and this got here fast from cj so I just threw it on

Painted my rotor hats. High temp primer, paint, and clear. These came in with black hats (yay!). But my rear and daily rotors are silver (boo!) so I decided to keep everything silver. My DD wheels are black while my track wheels are silver.

Clearly I have too much time on my hands.

I devised a method to get uniform paint quality. DIY lazy Susan turntable (from another project) and paint shield cut from poster board.
