Abilor & Maude - Build & Maintenance Journal

[Abilor]

Well, it's that time... We've had Maude, our 2025 Mustang GT Premium Coupe, for almost a month now, and there's already been tons of work we've done to her. About time she had a proper build journal to document things as we go. I'll post a few more entries beyond this one, saving some room for various things.

If you're here having a look, thanks for checking us out, big things are coming I reckon, so stay tuned.

Abilor.

This was the day we got her over at DePaula Chevrolet on Central here in Capitaland.

One of the first things we've been doing is a car audio build. Here the two JL 12s are finally in their custom enclosure.

Let's not forget the first thing we did, added the Roush intakes (lol) along with LED light show with a hood switch cutoff. Proud of that redneck engineering...

Wife was kind enough to lay down a whole lot of "dynamat" with me; got the whole trunk done over two days.

Yesterday (6/6/25) we got both of the UPR catch cans on...

Today was a big day. With 1,300 miles on her, Maude got her first oil change to flush out any "break-in" voodoo. Seems anachronistic now, but this is the way. Let her drain out fully over about 20 minutes with the oil at about 130F. Swapped out the filter with a Purolator Boss PBL 22500, and topped her off with 10 qts of Pennzoil Platinum 5w30.

Pretty mundane, but it was also the first time we fired up the Quick Jacks. My life will never be the same.

Oh snap, almost forgot that Adrian over at Tint King hooked us up. Got 5% everywhere it's legal here in NY. Could have done windows, but apparently there have been crackdowns. We love our windshield strip though. State law is 6", which is almost 1/3 of our windshield. Wife says it makes her feel like she's in a fighter jet.
