Wow, that poor girl. I’m sure she can’t wait for summer.
I feel so bad seeing her just sit outside over winter. 😞 She's like those frogs that freeze over and then magically come back to life in the spring. 😄

Got some new LMR SP2 wheels for my 16 GT/CS. Went with the 19x10 square setup in charcoal. Got the tires through Tire rack and had Discount tire install them. Went with 275/40 R19 Continental extreme contact sport. Big difference compared to the stock 255/40 setup. Weighed the old and new setup and even though the wheel and tires are bigger, they weight substantially less. Went from 57.5 lbs stock to 52 lbs. The setup looks great as the tires are almost perfectly flush on both the front and rear. Only had a chance to go on a short test drive but they are really quite and seem to handle quite well.

Looks great.

One of the best parts of new tires is the quiet.

Installed the MGW standard shorty. What a bugger that top arm bolt was to remove and put back. Took about 5 hours total to install. Feels like 4.5 were spent on that bolt alone. I have a Billetworkz knob which fit perfectly and has quite a bit height adjustment on the shaft. I have it pretty low right now.

Thanks for the pic. Would like to get the FP track pack one day but my bank account has to recover from this latest expenditure.

I noticed in your pic it looks like you are using the running pony
center caps from your stock wheels . I wanted to do that but when I installed them they were loose and wanted to rotate so I installed the SVE ones and they were tight. What did you end up doing?

They are from the stock wheels. They spin some but it doesn't bother me. Never had an issue.

Auto shift knob a little while back. I definite need to do mod for any automatic owner.

Just put dab of silicone on the backside of the center cap to lock them into place.

Not technically Mustang related, but the weather is supposed to be absolute balls the next week. Repeated snow and frigid temperatures. Figured I'd get my beater fixed so it can take the abuse this week, at least for the work commute. Fuel pump gave out when it got cold despite it being pretty new, so that was fun.

Mustang isn't hibernating or anything like that, she will come out to play on my days off ;)

Does the MTW use the same reverse lockout as the stock shifter? I put a Hurst Indy Short Throw shifter in my 2020 GT and was very pleased with the results. It was quite an adventure.

MGW has no collar, and no plastic parts to break. You just push the stick down to shift to reverse.
