[Benno2000]

Nice. This is actually on my list of things to do as well. Will be very interested in finding out how much of a difference it makes. Did you take decibel readings before?

My 19" spare did not fit once I put deadener around the circumference of the wheel well. I took it out and only left the bottom covered.

Thought I'd take some sound readings, probably should have done the base levels with the original seats in

It's also dba not db

Cold start, outside: 130dba
Idling, inside with windows up: 68dba
Accelerating, inside with windows up: 90dba
Motorway cruising at 70mph in 6th, inside with windows up: 70dba

I was about to say someone else mentioned that, then I realised it was you

Nice job. I found that soundproofing the spare tyre well makes it impossible to fit the 19 inch spare so I removed it from the verticals.

I don't have a spare wheel

over the last few months i fitted Blind spot mirrors to the car... just wanted to do it as a technical challenge, it works perfectly, i got to use my 3D printer too, there's a big thread on the DIY forum on how to do it, i used modules from an F350 and coded them with forscan to work with the Pony, and yes Ford make BLIS mirrors for the UK spec mustang.

Well no problem then. I have only had one flat in two years but it was handy to have the spare when it did happen. Some areas in the mountains in the hinterland where we live don't get good phone reception so it would be annoying to get caught out when on a "Sunday" drive.

Very nice. Might have to pick your brain on this and how much was the hit on the wallet?

Got my dss 800hp halfshaft, upr adjustable camber arms, upr adjustable toe links and steeda vertical links done on driver side.

Steeda verticle links are a PITA to install.

I'll have to work it out, I managed to get the modules for £20 from used from US on ebay, the mirrors were the most expensive at £80 each not including shipping, the wiring connectors were about £40 which was damn expensive imo.

I already had wires and connectors from other projects for I between modules and mirrors and also same with forscan.

My only flat tyre was about a month ago, the tyre had a hole in the wall, which I believe I caused driving over the raised edge of my driveway. I was still 80 miles away from home when it went
