Last weekend I did spark plugs (SP542) and a tune (Unleashed). Next up: downpipes!

Wow is it a whole lot faster and more responsive! That responsiveness feels so nice!

Also two new tires today! I've got the RSA2's and my front ones were 6 years old, the plies apparently have started separating. Got a new pair under warranty, my rears were still within spec to be able to get away with 2 new tires.

Was driving to work, and there was a new charger R/T in front of me (2015-2018), we both seem to floor our cars at the same time, and we were even up to about 100, then I slowly got passed him and watched him in my rear view mirror up until my speedo maxed out at 140. This was of course at my job here in Mexico. :)

Made an appointment to have my chrome trim around my grill wrapped in black vinyl. Might also have my roof wrapped. Still debating on that. Yesterday, I installed my Proclip cell phone holder.

Did the brakes on the SHO this past weekend. I took the car to So Cal to be a De-Gen. I ripped her up Waterman road (big fast sweeping curves, tight mountain driving) going from the Inland Empire (Fontana, Ontario, Upland) up to Lake Arrowhead and drove the wheels off her. I did end up thrashing the brakes really hard, so they got replaced. They were making noise (all the pads still had 50 percent life or more and the rotors were scored) and my pedal was softer then I wanted.

I went with the Powerstop drilled, slotted, and vented rotors, along with the ceramic pads. Brakes felt a lot better. They are grabbier and smoother, but the pedal was still too soft for my preference. I grabbed my transfer pump and started flushing the brake fluid.

Does Ford put trans fluid for brake fluid in the SHO? My brake fluid was red and literally looked like trans fluid. Long story short, put new Synthetic DOT 4 in it, started the car, and pumped the brakes 100 times with a couple of holds in between. I did this flush method 5 times. My brake pedal feel is alot more firm and the powerstop brakes and pads did a great job bringing the big girl down from 115+ mph this weekend at the track. Also set a new PB with a boost problem at the track lol. I will post about that in the couple of goals post I have.

Long story short, new pads and rotors, brake fluid flush, and PB at the track.

no, brake and trans fluid are not interchangeable. could be a performance brand, they tend to color the fluids.

I've seen blue and clear, never red. Other than atf there are ps fluids that come in red. Could have dye added for chasing leaks? Maybe there is a performance red brake fluid, but I've never seen one or heard of one. Odd.

edit: open tab and didn't see BG post above
