The last forum I participated in had a thread called "What have to done to your car today?" People talked about just what the title implies. Everything from a good wax job to major mods. It was an ongoing thread and, by the time I joined that forum, it was several years old and covered dozens of pages. I see a lot of threads here that could fall under that general heading. I think the Mustang forum should have something like that.
Anyone else?

Technically, nothing today. Last week, I installed Steeda Charge Motion Delete Plates and a Ford Racing GT500 Throttle Body. I did some 2010 OE Style Black Wheels 3 weeks ago. Now I am just waiting to install an SLP Line Lock Kit and put my Nitto 305/40 R18 on the car and light'em up.

Tuesday I installed a set of factory -style alloy pedals plus a matching dead pedal I got on sale from LMR. The gas and brake pedals were pretty easy. Because the reviews said the 3M tape on the gas pedal was a bit weak I also used epoxy. The dead pedal was a bit more involved. Had to pull the door sill trim, then the kick panel as well as pull up the carpet so I could access a 13 mm bolt to mount the d/p to.
Anyway, it looks great and the d/p makes it more comfortable as well.

Snow mostly gone here now and streets are mostly dry, so got the stang out last night for first test drive after installing an Exedy Mach 500 clutch, flywheel and SR Performance Braided Stainless Clutch Line.

All went really well. Clutch was quiet, very precise and buttery smooth, . Going to drive the prescribed 500 miles though before hitting it real hard .

This thread is a good idea. A lot of car/truck/bike sites have similar threads. I`ll insert just one word in the thread title if the OP does not mind, & that word is "with". That will encompass pretty much every interaction you could have with your car.

Ordered BMR Watts Link and have the parts out and waiting on rod end seals,, Vorshlag Brake Duct Kit, and enjoying driving the car. Gold GTO 6.0 was really fun to race against.

Last week, bled the brakes and filled with Motul RBF600. Uninstalled the ProCal tune and installed a Bama 93 Octane race tune.

This week, installed the passenger side harness connects for my Schroth quickfit harness, driver's side was done last year. Tried out my HANS device to make sure it fit. Installed the Bama 91 Octane performance tune. The race tune wasn't all that pleasant for daily driving. Swapped over to my newly purchased 18x10 SVE Drift wheels with Bridgestone RE-11 285/30.

Got my car out of storage, had to jump start it, then drove it home. Good to have it back home in the garage. Tomorrow I'll wash, wax and detail clean it. I put a trickle charger on it, we'll see if the battery is still good. I am not sure how long it was dead and if it froze this winter. The battery is 5 years old so it doesn't owe me any thing. I have really missed this car.

I installed LED's to map lights, truck light, license plate, rear side markers and LED smoked 3rd tail light, what a difference, for little money it made a huge difference. I also put in smoked front turn signals and smoked rear markers. gives me the look I wanted.
Also I'm cleaning it very detailed, I just bought it 2007 V6 coup with pony package, upgraded dash and leather, i'm cleaning engine, trunk area, jacking it up and spray painting all dull, rusted black again.
