While I don't have the huge complaints many do about my MT82, especially after I put in a trans mounted MGW shifter, I still lust after that sweet Tremec. 10 speed, which has honestly probably contributed to drivability in the winter shitscape i am currently existing in. I heard there was weird lumpiness in shifting with the 10 speed in the GT packages, but it doesn't exist in whatever tune they put on the Mach 1's autobox. This thing is shockingly quick to 60 from a red light, then again I've kept out of the throttle really since it's still on break in, but I can tell that this thing will absolutely leap off of a line, especially since the last time I drove a Mustang was my buddy's green SN95 with a wheezy, worn V6 back in highschool lol. That thing was a loving pig.

I've heard amazing things about the 10 speed, but I opted for the Tremec. Having come from the Bullitt with the MT82 which I didn't really have any issues with either, the Tremec is leagues better, unquestionably.

Do you use the rev matching? I'm super salty they added that a year after I got mine, I think I'd like it to be lazy sometimes.

No lift shift seems like one of those things that would take a lot of conscious effort to use, because my instincts are going to scream at me to pull my foot off the pedal to shift.

Finally did something nice for myself. 2021 GT with the 10-speed, 301A package, 3.55 rear end, and active exhaust. Can't wait until the weather is nice enough to really go for a fun drive. BoBtheImpaler fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Feb 3, 2022 |

It looks like we both have the standard 18" wheels and 235/50 Nero all-seasons. I'm just gonna warn you that 235 isn't really enough tire for this car, especially with the 3.55s and the low gearing of 1st and 2nd in the A10. If I use the sport or track modes and turn traction control off, I have to be pretty careful because it doesn't take much throttle to break loose. Ford really should make the standard wheels & tires more like the PP1 spec. Edit: and yeah if you live where I think you live, it's definitely the worst possible time to take that beast out in the elements.  Number_6 fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Feb 3, 2022 |

Anyone mess with ceramic coating or protection film? It seems almost too good to be true, but seems legit? I'm absolutely clueless about both but I'm looking at doing a track wrap for the film and ceramic on the rest of the car. Worth it? Scam? Somewhere in the middle?

I got ceramic coating, what it does is basically remove the need for you to wax your car, since it is hydrophobic, and protects the paint from degradation by UV rays. It does not protect your paint from rock chips, so paint protection film on like the hood and front clip etc is a good idea still if you want to drive it but still have it look pretty. As far as whether it's a "scam" or not, price out how much a good factory paintjob is, and compare it to the price of a good ceramic coat and PPF job. (ceramic coat and PPF is way cheaper than new paint, and you'd just wind up having to coat that anyways if you wanted it to stay good) Also, took the Mach 1 into a local performance shop and had them cut out the "resonator" and replace it with a Steeda X-pipe, sounds 1000 times better, and with active exhaust if I get tired of hearing uncorked V8 behind me, I can put it in quiet mode and it's only about 3-5dB louder than stock. I tested out the quiet mode cold start after getting the resonator delete, and it still is very neighbor friendly, but gently caress the neighbors, no quiet mode starts, ever. orange juche fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Mar 17, 2022 |

If you are gonna ceramic coat the car, make sure you clean the sh** out of your cars paint and glass. wash, clay, degrease, compound, polish, clean clean clean. do not apply it until you are 110% sure its clean. the car will look amazing for a long time.

If you get the Magneride dual rate springs, may as well go for the adjustable caster/camber plates as well, you'll save on alignments since you will have to do a 4 wheel alignment anyways for getting the dual rate springs. As far as track day goes, yeah I'm going to take advantage of it but I haven't decided on a date yet. Car has plenty of power for me so all my mods are going to be about firming up handling and making it really grab in corners if I'm going to track it eventually, so maybe a stop the hop kit too, since apparently the independent rear gets a bit lively when it's loaded up. A local shop posted a picture of someone's mustang that they'd mounted an internal rack in for carrying their drag slicks to the track, wonder if there's enough clearance that I can put a 4 wheel set in the rear seat area if I get them to fab me up a tire rack. If so, that will be great for me being able to swap between winters and summers, and summers and track tires. orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Mar 20, 2022 |

I sold my 2000 and am buying "a way older one" (according to my wife). It's a 97 that makes another hundred HP and has a T56. I had just replaced the blowoff valve, serpentine belt and tensioner, replaced the supercharger, replaced the air filter that couldn't have possibly been letting an air through, and found a big hole in an intake elbow from rubbing on the AC purge vent thing. Kid drove it home with snow on the ground.  I told him that gas had been in there since December and to run the tank through it before doing anything dumb....called me when he got home ask why the car wouldn't run (blew an intercooler pipe off, the one I had just put back on). I stayed up half the night putting the car back together so I hadn't even test drove it yet (wouldn't anyway as it had SNOWED THAT DAY) I was considering buying a 12-14 Coyote and putting a either a Beefcake Paxton on it or a 2.3 TVS, but you can't find one of those cars for under $20k right now and they used to be like $15,000. Also I sold my replica Saleen wheels to some idiot who drove two hours to TRY THEM ON HIS CAR. He used the spare tire jack to put one on. Couldn't get his wheel off and then when we put his back on you could tell the hub was in the way so...ugh

kalvick posted:So a guy came to buy your wheels and wanted to test fit them but they wouldnt fit. so did he end up taking them still? I am confused as how the hub was in the way? He had an S197. I told him the offsets wouldn't be right and they would stick out about. But people run them... He shows up and jacks up the rear of the car with this spare tire jack. Even brought a piece of wood to drive up on so he could get the jack under there! I got my cordless impact out (I would have gotten my jacks out but they were under my car) and zipped the lugs off for him. Wheel was stuck so we took turns kicking it. We put my wheel on and lower the car. Take turns jumping on the rear to see if the fenders would touch when you put weight on it. Everything seemed okay. I didn't want to try mounting a front one so I just said you know if you don't like them just sell them when you get home. He pulls out the cash so we load the other 3 wheels up and he jacks the car up again and we take my wheel off. He goes to put his wheel back on, and uses my impact to put the wheel lugs on. He of course doesn't use a criss-cross pattern, he just goes around the world You can see the wheel shifting around and the lugs are actually tightening the wheel down because the inner hub is too small on the brakes or axle or whatever. Showed him that he needs to grind down the inside of his wheels (center bore?) that he currently has so they will go on 'right'.

I am calling places to see about getting a super charger and for some reason the prices are above wild. I always thought 5k to 7k was the average price for a kit including install / tuning etc... A procharger with a 3 core intercooler $5900 Upgrade p1sc to d1sc +$ 470 (i think this is a good deal to get a d1sc since the price difference is only $470) Install +$1400 Dyno/Tune +$ ? depends on how quick we can do the tune and everything is ok bullet race valve +$ 295 Maf + SCT big air +$ 230 recommended engine test +$ 500 (recommended to me because of the extreme low mileage on a 20 year old car) so after tax and what now I am looking at 10 to 11k - is that reasonable? I think its insane. I forgot to add 175 for a fuel pump, and I just got a second quote and it came out and was 15% more expensive. kalvick fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Mar 26, 2022 |

No point until you build your motor and you can still make 600+ on the P1 The engine test sounds like a load of poo poo. Just do a compression check. You could put a kit together for less by yourself. Your own fuel pump and injectors. Your own blade-style MAF sensor. A power pipe and K&N filter. Find a lightly used Vortech V3 Si supercharger and bracket. TurboSmart BOV. Put your own piping, silicon couplers and intercooler together. Then $100" on tuning etc (you could even do a mail order tune) You could do it under $5000 that way. Plenty of money to spend on other poo poo like a boost gauge, wideband, etc Then you'll need to get drag radials and suspension and maybe a clutch...never ends This is when Coyote swaps start looking reasonable as far as costs go

I have a '19 fastback and have noticed that the rear folding seats are starting to squeak whenever I go over bumps or when the body rolls at all. I imagine it'd be pretty easy to resolve by just gluing a few key pieces of rubber pads in certain spots but I have no idea where the actual source of the squeaks is. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Bob Morales posted:New SN95 Changed the oil+filter (motorcraft), cleaned up some vaccum lines, made sure everything seemed to be in working order and took it for it's first real ride (other than driving it straight home). Feels as fast as my old car and I only took it up to 6000rpm. Bottom end is a definitely softer being a 4V with cams, but the 4.10's are nice and the T56 ratios are different than the T45/TR3650  I've had a married SCT that I picked up cheap a while back. Need to get a cheap ThinkPad to log with (not sure how much I can log on the device itself)  Speaking of T56, trying to figure out the ratios. I know it's an .80/.63 5th/6th and not the .74/.50, but not 100% if it's a 2.97/2.10/1.46 or 2.66/1.78/1.30 for the first three gears. I'll have to check RPM in 2nd gear at say 5,000  There are 18x9.5 Cosmis wheels on it, not my first choice but it's not as common as the standard Cobra/etc wheels. There was a 235/50 or something stupid narrow on the front, so I moved the 275 michelins that were on the back up front, and bought set of new Michelin 4S 285/35 to put on the rear. A lot sticker than I thought they would be so I'm happy about that. Was debating going with a 15x10 and putting a 275/50 drag radial on it but I think this will be fine.  Built 4.6, Paxton non-intercooled supercharger (more on that later)  It has this Magnaflow catback on it right now. https://turn5.scene7.com/is/image/Turn5/48013 Since it's every bit as loud and obnoxious as it looks, I'm taking it to the muffler shop tomorrow to have these Flowmaster FlowFX. They are Magnaflow/Dynomax style mufflers, made in China so they're pretty cheap (half price of Magnaflow). If they fall apart or sound like poo poo I'll swap them out with something else. Also got new tailpipes and flowtubes (that connect the muffler to the H/X pipe)  Since it's not intercooled, it has a meth injection setup. This is new to me so we'll see how it goes. Basically you can use pump gas + meth instead of race gas. The last thing I have to figure out is the suspension. It's pretty low (not sure what coils) and it has Strange adjustable shocks. I set the rears to full firmness but I need to adjust the fronts. I couldn't get to them when I pulled over to play with it. Pretty bouncy, not sure if that's just how they ride or if they are worn. Worst case I'll put a new set of Koni's on it. Debating on whether I should buy a set of springs to try to raise it up a little bit. I haven't scraped on anything but it's pretty low. A slightly softer spring wouldn't be bad either.

dude! nice setup. I would love to try a drag wheel setup (for the looks) for my car but the suspension is not built for drag'ing. Everything I have is modified for street / autocross so it would be a waste of money. Would you consider coils for the fronts? Then you can dial in the height to whatever you want. It would also free up a little bit of space for wider tires down the road. Are you planning on competitively drag racing the car because ride height and spring softness/hardness would defintely need to be upgraded depending on your goals if you are doing a drag wheel setup. If you drag - dont you want your fronts to be all mush anyways? I would also recommend kmember/panhard too, that made my car feel so much better. What kind of differential do you have in the car? something aftermarket would defintely help not have 1 wheel rippers if you are going with a drag setup?
