Don't have the best traction, don't have the best handling, don't do that great in the rain either.

I should of drove it!!! It was pretty nice out today. A little windy, but sunny and 50 degrees.
Mad at myself now because we're supposed to get about 1-3 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow. :thumbsdown: :punch: lol

Yes i just purchased the flex tune; plan is to go E85R eventually if the quality is good in my area. There are quite a few stations so i figured i'll give the E a try.
They sent me pump gas only tune yesterday, i flashed it. I have to send some logs to be able to get the Flex tune. However Lund isn't recommending to use the Flex on a daily basis...hmm

"REMEMBER, the Flex tune is a TRANSITION tune. It may not learn accurately every time. And it's supposed to be used for convenience when switching between 93 and E85 and having the fuels blended. If you're having issues with the Flex tune learning after this process we just recommend using your non-flex pump gas tune we first sent or use the E85 only tune we send with the Flex tune for convenience."
The tune was intended to be used as a way to change fuels without draining the system, but it works so well you can run on it all the time. The advantage to the dedicated E85 tune is more midrange power & torque. The Flex Tune will give you max power/timing for the quality of fuel that is in the tank.
I have been on the Flex Tune for over 6 months, 15,000 miles with Zero issues. When you fill up, let the system learn the new ethanol level before you do any full throttle pulls.

This is Alex from Lund, he reviewed my logs when I got my tune

Installed wheel spacers. 20mm front and rear. The offset of my wheels has always bugged me, and I think the car looks much better now. I haven't noticed any changes in driving characteristics in acceleration, handling, or steering so far.

they were fine when it was dry outside. They weren’t as good in the rain. When it rained, I could feel the back end get a little loose and I was not driving aggressively. I didn’t have the issue with the stock PP1 set up so I went back to Michelins. I haven’t driven in the rain with the new tires so I can’t tell you yet if it has made a difference.
Also, this was not a deciding factor but with the PS4s, the wheels didn’t need as many weights to balance them.

I'll keep an eye on this spot. What's the mileage on your car? Did they agree to fix it?

Not sure. They had to send pictures to Ford. I'm waiting back. Seems like they're fix it because it's a seam separating without signs of damage or abuse. No snags or rips

Took it into Ford to get evaluated for more warranty work.

I don't think you'll have any trouble getting that approved.
My heated/cooled leather has small bits of the top, finished surface of the leather delaminating between the holes in the leather leaving dull rough spots. Fortunately not many though.
Took it to Ford thinking surely that would be covered. Turns out it's not because it's not a bad seam...
So, it seems, they don't really warranty the leather, just the seams...
Truth be told, it kinda pissed me off!
Decided that if it gets bad enough I'd just start watching ebay for a take off or a complete used seat. Or maybe after market leather with insets to match the Race Red of the car.

Brought it home from winter storage last night!! Now deciding whether I want to, vs pay a pro, to install all the suspension parts I purchased on the Black Friday sale months ago. Plus I just purchased some 19 x 10 +42 wheels for square setup. Need to figure out how thick a front spacer I'll need for +42 on a 10" wheel in the front. And buy new TPMS. Spent way to much on this car I've had for only one yr! LOL!!

Personalized my WeatherTech mats with new decals from EBay. Chose the custom option and he made me the 50 years logo in Blue.
Can you send the link? Can't find them would like to get some Ford Performance ones.

Agree looks good. I m planning on 18% with 70% on windshield. Some states like Florida, half the cars on the road have tint around 20%. Cops just don't care in most cases. They could enforce it if you pissed them off but in general not an issue in south Florida.
Agreed. Still a good idea to put all the windows down if you get stopped.

Ordered the Ford Performance strut tower brace kit from CJ Pony. Got 10% off for Mustang Day and free shipping. I like the FP kit because it triangulates to the fire wall.
