Had a busy few months with all of the cars!
After fitting the MGW shifter to the AU, it's been good, had to cut small holes for the bolt heads in the floor, and space the crossmember 5mm. AU tunnels are so much smaller than e-series
Now I'm having to deal with it jumping out of 5th when the gearbox is unloaded, (i.e. coast down a hill etc). Getting annoying, turns out the shifter linkage where the handle goes in is touching the surround when its in 5th due to the weird shape of the AU console. So have to re-adjust it, and check that the rubber boots aren't restricting it. Which is crap on an AU because the factory rubber boot is bolted from under the car
Anyway.
Wired in the datalogger (another damn pain in the neck due to crap in the 12yr old wires not wanting to solder) and configured winlog, been getting afew logs of it on the 160km round trip to work every day.



Wired in a plug near the ECU for the datalogger, so I can pull it out neatly if I ever need to.


Turns out my ham fisted guessing tune is pretty darn close with the nbsim disconnected! Couple of tweaks to be made but its not bad! Then timing needs more playing with. The VCT engine seems to take craploads of timing before the 3000rpm changeover point, more than the EB ever would! Pulls quite nicely as well.


Have been driving the F150 a bit, helped a mate move house and went camping for AUs day, chucked an entire matress in the back with loads of room to spare. Easiest camping ever!


Decided to buy some nice car wash stuff, got a good foam lance, some nice wheel cleaner and massive microfibre drying cloth and stuff from carcareproducts.com.au if anyone wants to have a look!

And promptly tested it out on the GFs car haha

Works well!
GOt a set of FG turbo brakes for the AU, my rotors are dead and for not too much money I got the calipers and brackets. Bought new discs and pads. (Thanks sunny & needforspeed)
Cleaned them up with some alloy cleaner, came up very nicely! Am painting them red, not for race spec uleh haha, trying to match the AU PBR premium brake setup I had on my XR8. I liked them! And if they look the same, means it sort of fits the car more. Im not usually a fan of red calipers!
Started wth this:



Ended with this:



And painting the Tickford logo on with a stencil I made:

Pretty much finished the mach 1 mustang:

Almost finished the XB (Getting painted in the next week):

And sort of started the XA:

And a pic of the EB. Looking a little worse for wear unfortunately! Still mint, thinking of taking it around a track with one of the turbo kits I still have!

The old bike got relegated to outside temporarily while I have been fixing things - Like the other bike!

Thanks for reading! Apologies for the picture overload.
Also the Mach 1 Mustang is possibly for sale, pm if interested. Not sure on exact price yet, but >40k.
