I wish I could find the two ads I saw from last winter, one selling a mint condition mustang, the other a few weeks later selling the same mind condition mustang after its been totaled.

If you're too stupid to drive a Mustang in winter, you'll probably also be too stupid to drive anything else in winter, but you'll be going faster when your inevitable fuckup happens. You don't total a vehicle because you can't get traction to accelerate...

Haha, christ, that ad. To me, it reads like: "Weather happened, and then my Mustang got totalled somehow! Anyway, I'll be profiting from this experience, but just so it doesn't happen again, I better get something with 4WD! Oh, and just so I don't have to bother with renting or borrowing a car, just bring down your proposition so that I might grace it with my judgement."

Dude's a moron, but at least I see where he's coming from in that part.

Really? I have rented cars before I turned 25. The only thing that was a pain was trying to get a pickup truck, for some reason. Doesn't seem too bad to ask a friend for a ride to go look at a car. I've been that ride guy before, get to look at neat stuff and it's not even my money that gets spent! win-win.

On 99-04 GT model Stangs, are twisted wedge heads + cams the way to go, or are there better head/cams options now? Im asking because I am debating if I get a k-member + coil over kit, im gonna need it professionally installed because I just dont have the right tools. For the parts + labor, I know I am gonna be in the $3k range. for about the same price, I can do heads/cams instead. I would be shooting for something in the 300hp range. I would need/want a cam that has an awesome sounding lope at idle, but I also want it to be streetable and hopefully s/c friendly if I ever can afford that upgrade. any recommendations?

kalvick posted:On 99-04 GT model Stangs, are twisted wedge heads + cams the way to go, or are there better head/cams options now? Yeah, do yourself a favor and don't do heads/cams. Go with forced induction (Supercharger, preferably procharger as they are intercooled), you'll see much better gains for your money. Cams sound cool but the gains just aren't worth it. The $3,000-$3500 should get you a nice setup (SC, fuel pump, injectors, maf, tune). You should be able to install a supercharger on your car relatively easy if you have even basic tools. Let a pro do the tuning obviously. Auron fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Seconding Auron. My canned response to every Mustang owner is 'put a blower on it', while somewhat tongue in cheek, is usually said with a large degree of seriousness to it. The mod motors respond very well to forced induction and the gains are pretty significant.

Anyone have Maximum Motorsports springs? They say they are almost 3 times stiffer than stock. (320 lbs/in vs 122 lbs/in). Are they bearable on the streets?

I had FRPP k springs which are 220 front 200 rear and that was pretty much intolerable on anything but the smoothest of roads. I can't imagine what 320 must feel like.

I know it's not apples-to-apples but I had 850-1100lbs/in progressive springs in the front of my 1995 Mustang. I think the wheel rates work out to the equivalent of about 300-something for an S197. I didn't mind the ride. The wife, on the other hand...

Don't washing machines have an unbalanced load sensor that turns them off? Would be hilarious if they filmed a warranty claim in the aftermath.

I'd say given the lack of a control panel for most of it, plus the open door, that they bypassed everything and wired the motor straight to some form of variable speed controller.

I got the best (most comfortable) results by cranking all four corners to max firm. It sounds counter intuitive but I think "firm" and "soft" on the adjuster knob refer to how firm or soft your springs are, not how soft or firm you want your ride to be

What is a good way to hardwire an 0803 dashcam? Using the power source in the front dash works fine but it never turns off so I have to unplug the thing every time I get out of the car so I don't risk draining my battery. This is for a 2014 model.

Where are you mounting it? You can pick up 5v from the rear view mirror if you have an auto dimming mirror or from the interior lighting systems near the hazard/trunk/esc buttons.

Saw my first 2015 Mustang today, and it was an Ecoboost to boot. I wasn't impressed, but that may have had more to do with the fact that the driver was using the blowoff noises from the turbo to try and get pedestrians in the street for a massive block party to get out of his way and lurching at them like an rear end in a top hat.

All my suspension gear is exclusively from MM, and I am running the 422C0 model spring. they don't list the spring rate on there site, but i found on stangmods.com that they rate them as Front spring rate - 650-750 lb/in and Rear spring rate - 240-260 lb/in. those numbers may be a typo. I street them without problems. I am more about performance than comfort though. I have another car I daily so comfort is not a big deal for me.

I never understood this, and the last paragraph of the article generally states this, about Aftermarket parts, but Ford is under no obligation to warranty parts they sell for aftermarket use. Buying a Ford vehicle then buying Ford S/C or other go fast parts, having a Ford Dealer install them, at a Ford dealership, does not guarantee you any kind of warranty from Ford. If a super charger is the cause of the engine blowing up, Ford will not replace the engine under warranty. Even though they did all the work and sold the parts relating to the engine blowing up. Also The article seems to mention you needing to buy a $595 part to reflash the computer, technically a reflash from the dealer ship should be free and not require a $595 part. this happens to cars all the time.

It's not a needed reflash. You're paying $595 for a tune that won't void your warranty. And yes, if you install certain parts, even from Ford, it won't be warranteed if that part makes things break. Which is normal.
