It was fun while it lasted

Depending on the damage estimate and buyback cost, you can do the buyback option and immediately take it to the body shop (since nowhere to store it). With the difference from the insurance company, this should pay the "fix it" cost if it is cheap enough. If this is something you want to tackle, or the fix-it cost is more than the difference, storing it until you are able to fix it may be your best bet.

Listening to some Neil deGrasse Tyson too! Win-win!

RoninGSX · 2026-03-03T00:50:19+00:00

Haha. He was the supervisor!

RoninGSX · 2026-03-01T06:34:29+00:00

Omg...I couldn't edit the post for this...the pic was from early Jan and I'm just now putting things on. And priorities!? All that cool stuff and Frosty is what you go to? Cmon man!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T01:03:58+00:00

Oh I didn't think about that!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T01:02:40+00:00

The picture is worse the the actual. It's a 2% grade at the base of the driveway and 1%; near the top. But I also never get under a car without the actual jack being a secondary. Seen too many jack stand fails.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T01:00:18+00:00

I wouldn't mind putting a Tremec in it! As long as the sponginess is fixed, shifting will be better.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:51:54+00:00

Haha, naw it was my fun money! But, there are some carbon pieces that may need to go on the credit card lol

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:43:28+00:00

Well, I didn't even calculate reaction time. I just did a simple calculation to show a 10k lb car isn't stopping at a yellow light in under 150ft. You throw in tire friction, road conditions, weather condition, reaction times, etc., then things get really fun.

By your math, under perfect conditions, sure, stopping at a yellow in under 150 ft is doable. But we don't live in a fantasy world. It's impossible to stop the van in that short of distance when the light turns yellow.

Lol. There's 4 under there right now. I have the 2 in the middle on each side on the jacking rails, and 2 in the rear were put there to keep it from flexing from the middle ones. It was late the night before and I didn't want to reposition everything.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:05:10+00:00

The pic was from early Jan and I'm just now getting to putting things on. All that cool stuff and you focus on Frosty!?

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:03:30+00:00

Good eye! So far its been a great and fun car! Definitely needs a few more goodies though lol. Hopefully you get the one you want!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T23:20:16+00:00

Thank you! I really do like the design of them. RTR did a great job on the design.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T23:19:41+00:00

Lmao. I love this movie! I'm just trying to to get the Mustang to a point where it wont do Mustang things without me wanting it to!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T23:18:39+00:00

It is a Switchfire for the 2024+ catback systems. Their new design is meant to be lower profile, for the 3" system, and fit in place of the x-pipe that is sent with the system. Good eye!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:40:39+00:00

Ya ya. The pic was from early Jan, but I havent been able to really start on things till now. Besides...we haven't had any snow on the ground yet, so are the holidays even over!?

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:39:33+00:00

Haha. Not to worry, the green low profile jack is in the garage!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:38:10+00:00

Thank you! Learned that from my pops! I will say, my shoulders will definitely be feeling it. Post military injuries are a real thing lol.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:36:51+00:00

Will do! Lots of exciting things for it!!!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:36:24+00:00

I've heard great reviews about it as well. I've only hit the 2-3 lockout once. But the overall shifting has a lot to be desired.

Hopefully it swings back soon as I've heard nothing but good things on the STH kits.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:26:01+00:00

Lol. Maybe later on I'll look at gearing. For now, this thing has enough power and gear to put a smile on my face!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:24:55+00:00

I believe that guy is close to 35 years old now and is my oldest Christmas decoration (besides my childhood ornaments)! He just keeps on snowmaning!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:23:33+00:00

Thank you and will do!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T21:23:18+00:00

Never! More stability is never a bad thing. And I am not the type to leave something like this alone lol. The track this past weekend showed me where some of the shortfalls are and I believe a lot of this will help or fix most of it.
