took mine in for an alignment. They called me and said it sits too low. I was thinking wtf? Its not that low. Maybe 2" from stock in front. Went to see the rack. It had a crossmember that had a hump in the middle. So that sucked. Taking it to a brand new Firestone by the house tomorrow.
better than when I took mine it. I told them I just wanted to show them how to operate the air ride and they said they had manual for all that and did not need it. I told them its an aftermarket system I installed and suddenly the alignment machine broke an hour ago... Strange it was good when they knew how to work it in their manual.

Dropped off the BULL to get wet sanded and buffed! Been a little over 2 months since I had it painted and can't wait to finish it off!

That is an issue when we lower our cars. Shops can't fully align the front end, mostly because we lose the adjustment for the Caster and Camber. Alignment on my GT, could finally be adjusted, once I installed Caster-Camber Bolts. It's not difficult to do either.

Fixed the exhaust. Well, I say fixed, more a botch, but it works well...

The gap around the new flexi-pipe and original is only at that point - clamp has done it's job perfectly and there's no escaping there...

I think it sticks out a couple of centimetres more than it used to but that's not a major issue.

Went for a drive afterwards - noise is slightly different but I appear to have emissions now. Also she seemed a little more responsive which I was surprised by.

Why thank you.

Looking at it again, would be better if the "overhang" from the thread on the back clamp was the same on both sides as there is more on the right, but I'm not going to touch it now - it's holding so that's all that matters!

If it doesn't bother you, it doesn't matter :)

Looks like you own a Bul-obra! Very rare!! Ha
Ha. Just a 2001 Bullitt, #1661. Stock front bumper doesn't cut it for me, so had to change it up. Changing the front bumper doesn't change it to a Cobra......I also changed the rear bumper, nice and smooth [emoji44]

Evil came out to visit today and we stood around my car and talked about it while my dog growled at him. He was also cool enough to bring me a coolant transfer tube he wasn't using in case my aftermarket parts, if summit ever delivers the right parts(maybe monday now for the 3rd time) does not work I can use it.

Highland Green was the best color. It might just be my thought, but still I believe Ford should've just used that color alone, to keep it real.
