A boo boo from this super frickin narrow bridge. First time across it with the Bullitt, and last time. Ugh.
I'd love to junkyard another mirror, but its not super pressing right now.
I run a QA1 CF driveshaft.
Noticeable faster response in revving/shifting.
QA1 is a beautufully made DS, fantastic hardware.
Some NVH, i have some vibration in the early 3k rpms, that is gone pretty quick.
I have not tried 90 degree rotation to see if the vibes change. Not a huge deal for me.
Additionally, I have big life things going on, so Whipple is waaaay back burner.
I am looking at this though...

Ok, I just ran outside with a flashlight and inspection mirror.
All 4 drivers side motor mount bracket bolts are intact, and look very tight!!
I was only able to see two of the pass side, but that side had better luck anyway, and if the drivers is holding, then the pass should too.
A little over 1 quart consumed.
I did the change at 28k, Now at 32k. So a quart over 4k isnt bad at all. Which after reading my oil change post, may not have been to to the top hash on fill, so consumption may be even lower than 1 quart in 4k. This is good news!!
Also, I guess I should...
I also run the XS D4700, short terminals, battery cover just fits, but the hood does contact the cover on my Bullitt, so it is a smidge tall. No real issues, battery is fantastic, I spend a lot of time in my car. So battery reserve is critical, and monitored, lol
Yeah, I threw out the warranty almost immediately, so I was not that concerned with Fords stance for my car. But the consumption itself for record keeping.
Speaking of which, I need to check my oil, and check my motor mount bracket bolts, lmfao!!
Thats some cray consumption. I can see that on the track. A DD though shouldnt experience that much consumption.
Yes, the Gen3 coyote, with me behind the wheel, is performance, lol. Car is in a constant state of Italian tune up. lol
Well, it's 20 more hp than a GT, comes equipped as a PP1 standard, has option for magneride, active exhaust, only come manual. If anything, it's more of a capable performance car than most mustangs on the road. Factoring in the v6, ecoboost, less equipped GT's, convertibles, etc.
As my Bullet...

I run wright tools, and do own a Capri tools 1/4" drive as well. I like slip/lock collar, click style.
Lmao! Theres this burger chain, "Quaker Steak and Lube" , and they had WHOLE CARS and Motorcycles suspended in the ceiling as decorations. The cars were on lifts iirc, Motorcycles were cable supported. Tons of cool stuff to look at. Tons of tin signs, and other cool car stuff. Food was decent...
I had the nibble upshifting into third. Especially on a cold trans. I just gave it a bit of time and let the synchros do their thang.
Then, i did the SS clutch line, Barton Hybrid 3 shifter, BMR engine mounts, Boomba trans mount, cf driveshaft, replaced trans fluid with Redline, and went up...
