2016 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT. Captain Slow's Pony car adventure

Holy st. How much for shipping? It's not that much to ship to Fairbanks, Alaska. Now I see why you ordered your swag all at once. I ordered the same JLT separator a few days ago.

[5ohmustang]

The jlt I ordered, was used on ebay for $40. I have the items I want saved as favorite searches on ebay, so I get alerts and compare the prices. When I know it's a good deal I snap it up.

I have seen ford performance, jlt, bob's, moroso all on ebay U.S. I am guessing U.S. sellers as private individuals don't want the extra hassle of international shipping.

Also there are only a few companies that will ship internationally. I believe the new global owners want the oil sep as preventative maintainence so demand has outstripped supply.

The jlt is a tried and tested oil sep, plug and play. If my memory serves me correctly the jlt is easier to drain waste oil.

The since 1964 dash emblem, is it stick on or clips on?

Have you seen the system with the side exit pipes that bypass ALL of the silencers using a flap valve thingy? - You can switch it back to the sensible rear exits after you've finished showing off...

Speaking of that, have you tried the line lock yet?

Look awesome! Are these fogs Mustang specific?

No. they are multifit for anything with standard fogs. saw them last year in either gsf or euro car parts ( on a demo unit

How does it look from the front in the 'tang? Have you a rear one also? And finally, as someone who doesn't have a Dashcam, what are the virtues about driving without one? On another note I had just left the house today, and something caught my eye! It was not only an NL car, but the plate started with GN! Reminded me of your adventures with the '90 and this.

Dutch rednecks? Or expat Americans?

Itchy feet to go out and drive it, not change it

I was a bit surprised. Not even I change my mind that quickly.

Taking a Mustang to a Cars and Coffee event? Be careful

Dutch ones.... but they model themselves closely on their American inspiration!

Dutch Limburg Rednecks... whole different type. They're mostly not the most welcoming people.

Have you got the 11th of september in your agenda? There's a Ford Mustang Family Day from the T.M.C.N. at Classic Park in Boxtel. I wanted to attend their Ferrari event last weekend but my planning departement (my girlfriend) had other ideas :/

Yes... attending the Zuid-Rit on the 10th and the TMCN family day on the 11th..... also bagged a (late) place at the TMCN stand for the National Ford Day on Sep 4th

Cool, might pop by in Boxtel on the bike and say hi! At least if the planning department's willing :P

[hostyle]

Yep, plenty. I live close by, in Geldrop south-east of Eindhoven. Just a short blat up the A2 for me.

I'm not trying to tell you the obvious in case your already know, that style jacket is called a letterman jacket. It might be easier to find one online with the full term.

Letterman jackets are usually worn by kids in sports teams/cheerleaders at high school and college. Remember Andi in Goonies, she had one on.

Glad you like it. Look up the bama tunes ghost cam tune on youtube. Sounds like the intro for Van Halen's Hot for Teacher.

Ups and downs it seems to me. Can't believe Ford would do such a poor job on the under seal of the thing. Especially missing patches! Glad the exhaust makes up for it.

You struggle to believe that? I find it depressingly predictable, Ford never can quite be arsed to put more than 80% effort in. Better than the 20% effort GM usually put in. At least you know it's a problem and you can get it sorted before it becomes an issue. I am seeing these around in the UK in surprising numbers, they certainly have massive presence on the road.

I think that in your position I'd get it done ASAP by someone that I trust, for the sake of a few hundred euros it'll be done quickly and correctly. It could take months and months to get anything from Ford, with the car being more vulnerable for that period.

I did forget to say in my previous moaning post that the car looks fantastic, and I love the interior colour. I'll be following the thread!
