So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[Ahrmadillo]

Not bad! Look up the cost/ETA of a new windshield in the meantime, and insist on OEM for, yes wait for it, durability. Non-OEMs are even worse. You will want the appropriate windshield for the options you have: rain-sensing/soundscreen/etc. Current availability can be a few weeks, as there seems to be a nationwide shortage. Also look into getting full coverage on your insurance for glass replacement. We have a few people in AZ & TX having to replace the glass every year due to damage from heavy flying objects/road debris.

just replaced my windshield a few weeks ago because it cracked from the top in the middle cost $400 for original replacement from my local shop and they got it the next day no backorder waiting

Not today but spent two days getting the "Summer coating" and Carlisle prep. Wash, Clay Bar, polish, glaze, sealant and good summer coating of wax. Even managed to Jetseal the glass. Next step is rest of glass, tires and interior. Getting a good set up for Carlisle and will be easier to maintain while on the road. Yes I will be bringing my buffer and detailing kit.

Also need to replace drivers side mirror which has blindspot and heater mirror. It has turned all black-delaminated. I searched all over, they are about 300 bucks for a mirror! I fought with Ford CPO bumper to bumper warranty, apparently a mirror even though a safety issue is not covered by bumper to bumper warranty!

One of the dealers I took mine to gave me a hard time over the instrument panel which had bubbles on the inside. Said it was not covered under CPO warranty.
Took it to another dealer, they replaced it, no questions asked (just $100 deductible).

Unfortunately I have to get rid of the SHO, insurance is just eating me up in Michigan. New job can't afford the car payments anymore.

Started loading for Carlisle. Will load and keep in garage for now. Need to make a trip to local tire Nitrogen Octopus pump and get all tires set to 36 PSI for trip. Two storage totes in trunk. One for detailing supplies, one for everything else. I don't mess around on road trips I bring extra detailing supplies W/S washer fluid, basic supplies. Fuel top off for departure and on my way.

 

[StealBlueSho]

It begins!!!!!! A little oil in the pipe going to the TB... none puddled in the TB so... good to go! PTU looks clean with no leaks... oil return lines to the Turbos have a small amount of residue... probably try to replace those (again...)

Now for FedEx to show up with my ****....

Had a stereo install recently with custom sail panels tweeters. About a week later the factory grill was driving me crazy aesthetically. Sent my a pillars off to my installer to fill in the grills and wrap in alcantara. Just got them back today, went out to the parking lot at work and installed them. Very happy with the the results.

 

[2011TAURUSSEL]

Yesterday did my Pre Carlisle top off fuel and Nitrogen at Costco. I inflated to 40 PSI and will bring down after the tires cool usually overnight. Loading in progress and I also got a quick shake down cruise yesterday.

Completely finished with Alky Kit Installation... tune(working on it..) and all....

Thanks to BPD1151 for the Alky How To installation guide, lots of good information.. such as which wire to tap for the MAP sensor and which fuse to piggy back off of on the fuse box.

Couple things to note...

1: The instructions recommend loctite for the nozzle fittings... I would recommend white plumbers tape.. the loctite leaked...

2: If you plan on using the supplied tanks for the windshield washer reservoir, make sure you cut the hole for the pump perfectly round.. or as close as you can get... mine leaked cause I screwed it up...

3: Going through the firewall, BPD's directions are pretty solid, but make sure you use at least a 1/2in drill bit, and make sure you go straight and as close as you can to the blue tab in his picture.

4: When testing the alky, it might take a bit longer than you would think for all the air to get out of the system and the ready light to go green..

5: If you buy a 5 gallon can of VP-M1, unless you are going to transfer it to a different contain... get some kind of pump to get it out with... crap goes everywhere even if you are a brain surgeon...

Initial datalogging is showing a significant decrease in IAT's.. over 30F drop... Current "Meth" tune from LMS has no added spark or boost, I have an email out to verify if that is correct. Car runs like champ though.
