Bruce49 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 My wife and son got mine a complete rear end kit: a T2R, 3:31 gear set, bearings, seals, Royal Purple diff fluid and any other accessories from Tommy Vaughn Ford here in Houston.

Mustangcollector Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Aluminum brake reservoir cover...looks great! Goes well with the fuse box cover. Curious though, other folks said these brake reservoir covers are a tight fit. Mine is actually so loose I need to put some rubber in there to keep it from vibrating around.

Bruce49 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm actually in Pearland. However, I work at AIG. So, I'm in Houston every day M through F. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce49 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Absolutely nothing Why is that? Are you not able to drive it most of the winter months? If that's the case, I'm sorry. My KR is my only means of transportation. And, here in Houston the weather cooperates most of the time. I think it's going down in the upper 30's later in the week. And, of course, rain. Can't wait to get the Goodyears off the car for some Conti DW's. Had them on the old 09 GT500. Loved them. And yet, I put a set on the wife's C63 AMG. Didn't work. We went back to the Michelin SS's for her. Funny that a tire on one car will work really well and yet not work on another. So, no catch can's for oil vapor? No polished fuel rails? No upgrade of the brake pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Both my car and my wife Tana got some KR goodies for our cars. KR rear diff cover, KR front sway bar to go with our KR suspension system. KR rear Axle reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Did the "KR" sway bar make a difference? Nothing for mine except a nice, clean, secure place to store it for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldlugs Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 It's too cold outside to put it on. It's 28 degrees outside right now; a few degrees warmer tonight than the past two. I'm sure the Mustangs are happy to have the garage heater. Only thing they got this Christmas was a dose of Stabil fuel preservative. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce49 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 It dropped 20 degrees from last night until this morning here. I'm about 10 miles straight south of downtown Houston. And then another 20 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. 45 degrees is actually cold here. It's the dampness with the lower temps where you feel it. Up north there's not much humidity. So, the cold isn't as biting as it can be down here. Eh, give it a day or two and it'll be up around 70 again... BTW, nice set up on the diff cover and sway bar. Remember to grease the snot out of it. I use a heavy duty marine grease. Doesn't break down as easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapor08GT500 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Why would you want to remove the 3.73's in your KR for 3.31's?? Now that I am caught up on emails, PM's and car builds, my Christmas present to my cars was to take 10 minutes to drive most of them. Even drove my Saleen SSC that I haven't driven in probably a year or so. Makes me appreciate my other cars more....what a terrible driving car!!! I really question myself on certain cars I have kept for so long!! Feels great to feel caught up though..... Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to wind it out more. Besides, better gas mileage and most of my driving is on highways where the 3:31 gear set is more practical IMO.

shelbypt Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 My KR has all it needs. I have it set up just the way I want it. But, I got a nice detail kit.

Bruce49 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 shelbypt, noticed you upgraded to clear running lenses in the front. Did that on my 09 GT500 and again on the KR. Makes a world of difference than gaudy yellow lenses, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
