So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[Ecoboost_xsport]

Injectors and hpfp on the way from uwe at XDI! I bought even more AN fittings for the trans cooler! That's all I've done today. Apparently @FiveLeeter918 at Ortiz ponied up and bought five sets of xdi injectors so he could sell them off so if anybody needs some he has some lol.

Nice, I just got done doing the install of mine and literally JUST posted the write-up, LOL.

Those look like you blue backed em, lol.


Those must have been glowing ever so slightly. What were you doing, going down a mountain at 100 with a trailer?

First day I got my dragy if I remember correctly lol. Testing was done thoroughly. That and the Missouri Arkansas rally I went on. Swear I hit 100+ that day over fifty times.

Last night I was running a few errands, I had this young dude in a Mercedes E43 pull up next to me at a stop light, it turns green and he wasn't really paying attention but I could tell he was leaning on it. So I just paced him until he looks over and I hear him tag it to the floor, alright here we go, I follow suit... reel him in and as I'm passing him look over and give him a few quick eyebrow raises. He gets a real ****** look on his face and slams on his brakes. I hit cruise and go about my driving, about a minute later he goes flying by me at WAY over the posted limit, I guess that was his way of "winning."

I couldn't stop giggling about it, I just kept thinking man I love my car, it has to really suck getting beat by a Ford sedan when you stick that much money into a Mercedes.

I wanted to start a thread for everyone to post those little or maybe even big things we do with our cars everyday. Could be something as small as "I washed my car today" or maybe something a little bigger like "here's a picture of my new tint" or maybe something even bigger like, "check out my new pair of turbo's".

It help keeps me excited about my car and sometimes it gives me some pretty good idea's!

I really enjoy reading and seeing pictures of those little things we all do to our rides, but I know sometimes we don't feel like taking the time to start a new thread/post.

Gave both Taurus’ a wash today. Old Taurus is to be sold soon. I’ll miss it, but not too much. Rides a little smoother with the larger sidewall. Also, thinking about black lugnuts. Need to paint calipers so I’ll probably do that all at once.

Last min maintenance. All my fluids are still basically new. 900 miles or less. But my OCD won’t allow me to stop changing everything! I allowed the trans fluid to stay...I know it’ll be bright red..has been for last 10 drain and fills. But I couldn’t resist changing the PTU and RDU again with Redline Lightweight ShockProof. And the engine oil...I am treating the motor to filet mignon lol! Royal Purple XPR (Extreme Performance Racing) 5W30. Motorcraft filter. $120 oil and filter change lol! Why not?? Also my nitrous leak is fixed and a full bottle now(was empty after my 11.22 run) and switching to C85 and 110 for E30 race day. Again...why not???

When I got the motor it came with a piece of paper instructions on how to install it and oil changes and the first 6 months of its life it basically says I'll be giving an oil change four or five times in 3 months. First Oil Change will be when it hits 200 miles then 600 miles and so on. That'll be fun and then when I hit a thousand miles then I can convert it over to full synthetic

Will the cam be broken in already? Or does it tell you to rev it for a bit after running it the first time?


Breaking in motors uses a lot of oil.

I'm not sure I just read a little bit and then put it back in the envelope I'll deal with that when that time comes..

In order for me to catch up with Drew I'd have to go to his house and steal his car so that I can work on my car while he doesn't have a car, but knowing him he would modify another car faster than I fix mine!
