2015 Carlisle Prep thread

[billcu]

Let's see some photos of your car getting ready for Carlisle.

I barely got the first step done today, putting the 20 spokes on, then it started raining.

I didn't get the center caps on, and I forgot to lower the car from 4x4 mode.

Step 1: Thorough car wash.



Step 2: Drivetrain removal.





Sadly, it won't be back together in time :mad-tilt:

Jeremi, need me to pick you up on the way?

My car has had the front end freshly re-assembled with new rear control arm bushings, and thanks to Eric yesterday, new front sway bar end links. This last step finally eliminated the rattle that has plagued me for a couple years now.

It's been washed and waxed, oil changed.. insurance papers located and in the glovebox..

Carlisle envelope is in the glove box as well. I'll try to get the front end aligned today, and I'll be ready to roll.

You can't leave things alone can you?

You take a perfectly running engine with a supercharger, out of your car to replace it with a new engine.

Departure shot. A late start, but I'm rolling.

I changed the oil, and swapped the CD changer, bought new tires and installed a new front caliper. Clay barred and waxed it, and it's ready to go, I hope to leave before noon.

iPhones suck taking pictures in the dark, but yes the cake throw has an official fan club...






I'm sure a certain member of Ford Performance Group would deny any participation but rumor has it he ate some of the cake. LOL
