What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2020]

Mustang GT dual piston caliper upgrade with drilled and slotted rotors. Should be a nice improvement. Just waiting on rear brake parts to finish this brake job 😎

During
And almost after pics

That's a funny looking Mustang.

In winter it's either 10mph or 80. No inbetween.

That's Wrong Island every day. There are only two speeds- too slow and too fast.

what many people don't realize when the back end of a fwd car is trying to catch up to the front you need to turn into the spin and floor it so the front wheels will pull it out of a spin. If you take your foot off the gas they engine will slow the front end down causing the car to spin more.

Even a such a simple maneuver as that in a 2900lb car with the *ss end hiked up with an already terrible weight distribution along with every bushing and suspension component being destroyed from disuse (car has 26,600 miles on it as of writing this, yes, only twenty-six thousand six-hundred miles) is almost a death sentence. You cant maneuver quickly in this car. You just cant.

It's easier with a hand e-brake.

Got the 4x4 working on my 08' Trailblazer, the actuator gear box and motor are replaced with new ones, and the front pads and rotors were replaced while I was there. The pads were close to worn out and the inside of the rotors were scored again. They have already been turned once so I trashed them. One more year out of her and I'll be happy. Next Jan/Feb I'll be in the market for a new vehicle.

Oh, and to add a bit of insult to it all, I decided to give it some more love and cleaned the interior, vacuum the rug, Armor All the dash and door panels, wash windows etc. I rolled down the driver's window and hear parts shear and fall into the door. The window stops dead in its tracks. Can't make this stuff up. I left the wash bucket in the garage and ordered the cheapest regulator from Rock Auto for $36 shipped and got it yesterday morning. Installed it a few hours ago and back in business. It's been a good truck, I do wish I could buy a brand new one of the same vehicle as I really have enjoyed owning it as It's fit my needs really well but that's not gonna happen. Looks like a Colorado or Canyon are the two front runners but will have to figure in a new fiberglass cap for the bed.

Edit: forgot to add a photo, here’s the carnage.

It's my only transportation. Has been since November. No snow tires. It does fine in snow. Black ice is the issue. Just driving on any slick surface the *ss end will just start to wander. It feels like a leaf car when it dog tracks. However since yanking it out of the ditch it seems better actually. New rear and all suspension components will be purchased soon. Did my taxes a few days ago.

cars should not be on the road in the winter without snow tires....it burns me when someone is trying to make up a small grade with no snow tires and I have to sit and wait for them.

Ya know what they say about your cousin/sister down here in the south 😉😉

Where is the Regal? Seriously, I've been out of the loop a while.
