Yep, spot on! They give you some dynamat but i bought more and the focal stuff after explaining to the guy what I was doing.

There does seem to be a bit more vibration in the car but not a bad way, actually makes the car sound beefier.

Also the trans whine from 130km/hr onwards has been reduced a lot which is nice

Surprised you can hear the trans whine over the blower whine Phil ;)
Are the shifts HEAPS more precise/tighter? I love the box the way it is, don't get me wrong, but racecar...

We appreciate the feedback and always great when we can accommodate our friends in Australia!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the drive!

No....there is no standard camber adjustment on the front..

I thought there is some/limited agjustment:

Not sure if it is sufficient to get a 1" drop back to stock camber though??

The service manual actually has a procedure for adjusting the front camber. Essentially the procedure is:

- Remove strut to spindle bolts and discard.
- Install replacement service strut to spindle bolts which are slightly smaller diamater (this therefore allows some play and therefore some adjustment).
- Adjust alignment using the proper equipment
- Tighten bolts

So in reality, no there's no adjustment.

Nice kit

Is all the sound deadening solely for noise and vibration Phil? Ive never seen it done before around a shifter

Nice bit of kit there Phil, congrats man

Not today as I'm away at work but last week I had a mate add the heated/cooled seat controls to the touch screen for me.

The holes on mine are both round and the bolts are a snug fit, so no adjustment...

I got some adjustment by using the BMR camber bolts which have a cam on them.:lol:

Hhaha my misses is the best, she understands my hobby and accepts it, just like i accept her as the crazy cat lady lol

hahah the whine is hwy cruising so the blower is idling then

Yeah shifts are very previous and there is no slack between gears and when its in gear. For 1st to 2nd you do have to apply sidewards pressure as you shift otherwise u hit the gate between 2nd and 4th as the gearing is tight and close together, just getting used to it i guess

Continuing on with the weekend of mods. Met up with Joe at Hoontune (who is also the Aus distributor for nGAUGE) to load up new Harrop tune and also install the gauge. He will be tuning the Mustangs really soon, definitely hit him up.
Install wasn't too bad but pulling all the pieces off sounded horrible and like things were snapping lol.

The nGAUGE is fantastic, it fits in the vent perfectly and is super customisable, one of the great ones is digital speedo - yew yew!
