What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[The Spider House]

I mean, he is English so I assumed his accent for the movie was fine. Was his dialect not correct? I don’t know the difference between all the different regions and their dialects

Yeah, English but regional accents are very distinct. Birmingham (brummie) probably being one of the most distinct so was on a hiding to nothing, I also find that English actors seem to dull the accent down a bit for what is primarily an American audience too. If a true brummie came to America you would probably need subtitles
Gerard Butler is another, I know he is Scottish but still part of UK (at time of writing anyway) and he has gone more american over the years.

Not a criticism BTW, its just market forces for the target audience.

That’s good to know, thanks. I know the dialects are different based on region, I just didn’t know how different they are. Sounds like they can be very different

Progress pics. Day one is the first pic. OPG/CS in progress. Second pic is today, working on the ESS install. Can't wait to get it back and see how she does.

And got an email from Wengerd earlier today that my first base file for the ESS is available to dowload so that piece is ready to go

Got my baby back last night. Did a little video on the way home. Placed the mic under the hood. The sound is insane. And it overwhelmed the mic at one point. It drives just as good as stock, just "More" at higher RPM and the cool Jet sounds I LOVE it...

Welcome to the ESS Club! Yep how you described it seems just right...same car below about 3500, different car above.

Nice video. Is everyone just ordering directly from the ESS web site ? I am curious how long they took to ship after ordering ? Also is that the quiet or straight cut ? Also curious if you went with the tial bov. Thanks for any info.

I ordered through a 6G member who has or had some affiliation with ESS which saved me the shipping cost (around $350 if I remember). It was only a week or two after ordering that they shipped. I did the quiet gears and stock BOV, can’t remember if I started it for you to hear it at Carlisle or not.

Tial, yes. Straight gear, yes.. Xtrim impeller, Bigger intercooler too. And yes, ESS direct is the way to go. I got my performance shop to order mine and drop ship. Took a little over a week. He has done so many, I dropped off Sunday night. Picked up yesterday evening. He was done Tuesday night, but wanted to put back on the lift one more time for a final look see. I waited til I got home from work yesterday to pickup.
