Vibration gone!!
Finally the vibration I've had since the swap is gone! It ended up having to do with the flywheel. I remembered that I forgot to install the alignment dowels so we pulled the tranny and went to put them in to see if it would help and then we saw that the alignment holes on the flywheel would NOT match the alignment holes on the pressure plate??? I ended up buying a FRPP billet flywheel which I should of done in the first place instead of going with cheap ebay parts and bought a new king cobra clutch just so I didn't have to go back in sooner then later, it's a PITA to get that tranny on/off on your back.

Radio pocket
After I replaced my cd player it left the bottom din slot empty since the radio and cd player were two seperate pieces. I went to a junk yard several months ago to find a radio pocket to fill in the bottom din slot and after alot of tweaking I finally got it the way I want it. I'm thinking about inserting a plate and using it to hide all my switches.

New tires and good wash
I finally caved in and gave it a good washing since it was detailed back in Nov. I just recently bought some new nitto's as well since my old tires were shot. She's all nice and clean now!

Reinstalling nitrous
So I started reinstalling the nitrous finally, I've been lazy about it and I decided to take my time since I don't plan on spraying again until I get the car tuned (rather be safe then sorry). I should be getting some new tires and scheduling for the tune very soon. I havn't figured out the vibration issue yet I'm going to order some new header bolts, and gasket so I can pull the driver side header off and swap out the mount. I also plan on replacing the tranny mount hopefully this gets rid of the vibration.

Mp3 Player
One thing that I've always wanted to do is build a computer to put in my car. At the momment the only thing I'll be using it for is playing Mp3s. I built an aluminum case for the computer and bought an infrared remote to control the music, I also had to replace my head unit in the mustang because there are no aux inputs in the stock one.

Been awhile...
Well it's been awhile since I updated the site. The car getting colder issue was fixed with replacing the thermostat.
The car has been running well infact I ran the best time I've ever had (13.625 @ 103.4mph) with this engine when I was at the track last. Right now I'm trying to fix a vibration issue, I replaced a broken mount which seems to have helped but the vibration is still there so I'm going to replace the other side along with the tranny mount within the next couple of weeks. I'm also going to be reinstalling the nitrous with a 100 shot and will be scheduling an appointment to be dyno tuned within the next month or so.
