Rttoys, to go a little further with this ... is the best way to fill the trans fluid to remove the top hex bolt and use a funnel from the side? Seems kind of janky, but I haven't been able to find anything else.

I don't know if this helps... Took me a minute to find this... but I remembered the Goonsquad guys used a pump. Check out this video at 15:57

@Anks329 buyer beware, I discovered earlier that my wing is missing the green lead for brake lights as shown in the pics on the site. As it stands, my wing won't function as a third brake light. I've got an email in to their tech support, hoping for an RMA/replacement control module.

Good to know. Let me know how the RMA process goes. Not a fan of shopping at sites with bad customer service.

Jeremy: Yep. Drain from the bottom. Fill in the top. Make sure you are on level ground when filling.

Here was my solution.

Mini update.

Rear suspension is built (have to check torque values though), taillights mounted but not wired (need to resolve a problem with the third brake light on my wing), and back wheels test-fitted with brake rotors on. I need spacers, but I figured I would.

Next is rear brakes (paint and mount), attach and plumb the turbo IC, and figure out how to wire the tow kit.

I am contemplating putting this on the Goblin, somewhere/somehow, though I'd want it in color:

Or this one:

I like the one with the mustangs lol
 
Ark :D
Me too. Not sure how appropriate it is though, since I've owned 6 Mustangs including a '69 R-code Mach 1 resto project (well, technically my dad's), and the theme I have decided upon is Shelby-esque.

I was also thinking the Shelby-esque color scheme, and with that sticker its like putting salt in a wound when you pass a new gt by.

oh heck yes! My son wanted me to get custom plates - V8EATER. His mom drives a Mustang GT..... :)

What the heck am I doing wrong, here?

There isn't enough space between the adapter and the rotor for the caliper bracket to fit in, let alone bolt down.

I have a vinyl plotter if you want anything custom made.

Will definitely keep that in mind!
