Yellow Fogs! haha
much jdm yo...


The tint should atleast protect the fogs during the winter. Super thick stuff.
I didn't realize I order pre cut tint for sedan... but luckly they're pretty close.

Yes I know I need to touch up the underneath of the bump. I guess the previous own didn't know how to drive a lowered car... Doesnt help that the springs are damn bouncy.
sorry, dirty car

Found out why the car was acting funny. Rear mount is shot.
Ordered a massive mount.

I also did the throttle body ground mod... i know there's lots of arguing about it, but it made a big difference for me. No more hanging rpm during normal driving and minimal during full out. Really happy with this 2 min, free mod.

Try this tip: it may or may not work but there is a school of thought that Ford pulls timing with the clutch depressed to ease shifting. May help with hanging revs.
Locate the clutch position sensor-I believe it's red. The plunger should be depressed at rest and extends with the clutch in.
Tape the plunger so it always stays depressed. You will lose cruise control auto-shut off as the sensor, when depressed, cuts the cruise control to prevent over revving.
Can't hurt to try.

So I noticed awhile ago that the car had a small leak. Found it on the power steering lines, so I checked around. Ended up finding the power steering tank was broken. The previous owner just slopped some glue everywhere, idiot.

So I ordered a new tank, was damn expensive.
Go the tank today and replaced it in a thunder storm, wheeuuuu. Now no more leaking and the powering steering isn't being a whiny bitch (low of fluid due to leak).

What the old tank looked like...

Thanks!
I think I've almost done with the maintenance.

Then next year I'll have to decide if I'll keep this focus or upgrade to a ST. But since the mustang is itching for some major mods, I think I'll keep this focus. So I have more plans for it too Smile

Installed my massive mount! huge difference! Love the feeling.
There's a lot more vibration at take off, which I was expecting. Wonder how I could minimize it though.
