What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[The Demon]

Previously, Target sold a FJG Mach 1 in a 1:43 scale; I later saw these cars elsewhere.

This morning, I've found the same item, in Velocity Blue.

The following vendor is selling this model on eBay for $26.95, plus shipping. I did check Target, WalMart and other vendors just now; they do not have it in stock.

IDK if this is a rollout in a new color or a newly-discovered unicorn hoard. Probably the former. If so, I expect them to become more plentiful in the coming months.

Nice find. Getting a little bigger. Now we just need EG.

Cleaned the exhaust tips (https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/chrome-falling-off-the-muffler.196754/post-4075489).

Did the j&l catch can. I bought the one with the bracket but quickly realized I think you have to disassemble the bracket system when you check it sooo I just took the bracket off.

Did this today. For the record this looks cool but it does absolutely nothing.

as far as I can tell you need something just much higher or something that completely latches or closes the gap.

I just reinstalled my OEM HP wheel arches.

That's funny. I just took mine off.

Why so?

Why so?

I went to a 35 profile tire and didn't want it to rub with the Steeda Sport springs. It would probably be ok, but when I took them off I liked the looks better.

When I bought mine, they weren't on. The car had 1 previous owner and I got it with 2k miles. I asked them to reach out, guess they didn't so I ordered them from CJ. I'm super obsessive about making sure everything is as it should be on the car so it bothered me that they weren't there. Those things are pricey as hell too. Like $330ish. But whatever.

Ryan, I see you have the Steeda springs on your car. Do you happen to know the spring rates of those springs? Are they stiffer than OEM?

I don't hate the fenders flares. I just think the front tire poke with the 305s and the flares look a little "off". I prefer the cleaner more flush look.

Mine are the Progressive Sport Springs. https://www.steeda.com/steeda-555-8...MI4sKYgvqrhwMVvtDCBB16gAKJEAQYASABEgJN5PD_BwE

Not as stiff as the Steeda dual rates or factory HP springs. I believe they start pretty close to OE non HP spring rate, but get stiffer the harder they compress if you push it. Kind of a hybrid street driving/track spring. They definitely improved the feel of the car.

I wonder if the dual rates are stiffer than the HP ones?

Dual rates have 2 spring rates built in. Steeda list it as 220-350 up front and 800-1200 for rear.

If IRC, that starts out like an HP spring but gets stiffer.

Mach 1 hp spring rate-
Front - 211
Rear - 742

Replaced the interior lights with LED ones from Diode. Managed to shatter both map light bulbs with a pair of pliers and turned a 30 minute job into a 2 hour one. At least it looks decent now. I have one bulb leftover though because we don't have a glovebox light anymore.

How were you able to pop new LED bulbs in? did you have to remove entire black case or just pop circular covers out?

Thanks Anthony

The dual rates are amazing. Love mine.
