What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[Mikepol2]

I’m happy.

I wanted:

1. All leather wheel
2. No colored stitching
3. No carbon fiber
4. Maintained heat
5. Better grip than stock

The only downside is that while I prefer a thicker steering wheel I think it’s almost too thick. I wear a size Large glove 90% of the time, but sometimes will wear a tight medium when I want a really tight fit. I think it’s fine without gloves, but might be too thick with racing gloves. Only other issue I had, but worked around is the heated steering wiring comes out at 9 instead of 6 position. This makes it a pain to route (I pinched the wiring accidently on install but it works). The amazing thing to me is the trim fits PERFECTLY with no gaps or excess leather to trim like I had read about on others. The finish much grippier than stock (I hate how slick the OEM wheel is).

I’d have a hard time going back to stock. If not this wheel then I would buy a GT350 or GT500 wheel.

I paid somebody to do install but it was done quickly and with no issues. I share the same sentiment it's a bit too thick. Might be a dealbreaker might not be. I'm gonna keep it as I've gotten used to it.

New Amazon wheel showed up today and I must say I am very impressed with the quality and how attractive it is. Love the thickness. Can’t wait to get it installed!

Glad you're happy with it. It's a nice wheel with no frills just like I wanted! I'm pretty sure it's the same wheel some of these companies charge 1500+ for.

only took 4 years. Does not hit quite as hard as the old analog type gauges, or calculators.

Yessir. Writing 8008135 was one my favorite activity as an adolescent

Chicagoland Mustang Club had their opening day today. I woke up kind of late, but still decided to stop by with an hour remaining. Still tons of cars!

Good group of folks, there’s a ton of Terminators and Foxes in the group. Lot of S550’s too. Did some of the other Mach’s show up? There’s usually a few at each of the events

Everybody was very cool! I was the only M1 there. There was one Bullitt, one GT350 and two GT500’s, both CFTP cars. Other than that, all older stangs and GT’s of our gen!

Ah bummer you were the only Mach. There’s usually a couple FJG’s, an Oxford White and an Eruption Green that show up every now and then. One of the FJG’s and the Oxford cars are closer to us, the others are north burbs.

If it was the Iconic Silver GT350 with the transformer badges, that guy is cool to talk to.

Hopefully next time, that would be cool. I haven’t really seen any M1’s in the wild sadly. Maybe one or two others in the last few years. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that 350. This one was an Avalanche Gray car. Love that color. Hopefully we can see you out at the next one!

I'm out of it and don't have a clue what any of this means?

However, I got a good chuckle out of " 8008135 " it also reminded me of the endless debates of who made the better scientific calculator TI or HP. (It didn't matter, any calculater was better than a slide rule.)

Can't go wrong when Boobs involved. Ha ha
I try to teach this to my young nephews but without the old school calculator, it's not as funny now.

I'm at a full stop with this 9:00 wire location, can't get the left cruise module back on. How the F did you do this???
