Congrats :happy feet: :happy feet: My first Mustang was a 232 as well, and it was fun! It didn't have all the power in the world, but with suspension, a CAI, and other simple bolt-on's, it was plenty fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SicShelby Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 The interior in Michael's car looks exactly like the one in the picture, cant wait to see his face when I slap the keys in his hand! I liked that car, I really did. Like I said, didn't have all the power in the world so I beat it up, but it took the abuse!! I used to "fly" through LA and up I-5 with it when I was active duty at Camp Pendleton in Ca, to see my then fiance up in San Fransisco. You time it right and you can zip around just fine!! I loved the interior, and I am a tall guy. The suspension was really tight and that made it fun because there was no body roll, etc.. I sold it with 141,000 miles and still running with no codes! I think you picked a great first car, Wick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SicShelby Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Heyyyy finally some good news on the Shelby!! They replaced the drive line and flange after waiting for a month and a half (for the flange) after the TSB was performed. They were trying to figure out where this strange vibration was coming from. After the new DS and flange didn't fix the problem, my bright tech decided to redo the pinion angle. Problem solved!! Finally!! The Shelby is running like a raped ape now!!
