K-On! Season 2 posted:they can't actually void your entire warranty over that. Im aware of the magnuson moss warranty act. I guess i should have been more clear, i dont mean the entire warranty, i basically mean the engine, and possibly the transmission. They have to "prove" the ecu tune hosed something up yes but i cant see how that would be too difficult. "oh your transmissions busted? probably because of the ecu tune giving it too much power"

Radiohead71 posted:I have an 11 GT with both the 3.73 and Brembo pkg. 1. agreed. youre basically retarded if you buy a 2011 gt with anything but 3.73 ratio. 2. If i was buying a 2011 gt right now and didnt live next to a race track i would ditch the brembos, get stock wheel package, and immediately replace them with RTR wheels and some Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 tires. If i did live next to a race track i would have to think about the fact that my tires would evaporate on the track... costing me $300-400 everytime i go there purely in tire wear.

My 99 mustang gt that i just installed a steeda short throw in (maybe a month or two ago) doesnt let me keep it in 5th. Put 5th in, it immediately pops it out once i release the clutch. gently caress. Going to adjust the steeda stoppers (i dont know why that would matter for 5th loving gear). If that doesnt work this is retarded for a transmission with only 76,000 miles on it. Synchro locks are what i will need repaired, anyone know how much that will run? im not dropping the tranny and doing that poo poo myself.

frozenphil posted:If you're nervous, have the dealer "install" the tune for you and keep your warranty. Hmmm... isnt bama and stuff getting way more power than this? i dont seem to get it, is it because theyre custom? im pretty ignorant about this "Approximate peak increase of 16 hp / 7 lb-ft on 93 octane fuel" is this at the wheels? I ask because my cousin wants to get his ecu tuned but he doesnt want to touch that poo poo with a ten foot pole because hes afraid if anything goes majorly wrong with his engine he'll be stuck with the bill as theyll try to void his warranty. He has heartthrob x-pipe, corsa extreme axle back, thats it, so maybe custom doesnt matter that much. He'll jump on this immediately probably even though the gains aint that great coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Jul 5, 2011 |

Yes i am, and im searching older mustang stuff. I didnt check the newer 2011 exhaust, it makes sense though, everyone still has their heads up their asses and basically are charging msrp on 2011 poo poo because soooo many people will just buy it regardless. my advice is to check amazon or autoanything.com in addition to performancepeddlers to make sure youre getting the best price possible. autoanything.com constantly runs 15% off sales (so wait for one) and carry a ton of exhausts, my friend got his corsa extreme catbacks and heartthrob x pipe for about $850 from them AFTER tax

Auditory memory sort of sucks but the x pipe seemed to add a lot more flow, so you hear all this back pressure as you back off the pedal.

Dont do what i did and buy the wrong fuckin wiring harness for the mach 460 system, luckily i was ripping out the mach 460 anyways but drat that was lovely. It uses a very specialized adapter because its all amped after the head unit in the mach system. A good head unit should cost you max $200... unless youre buying double din. hard to go wrong with kenwood, sony, jvc, alpine. My pioneer 8200 has this lovely little control stick volume knob that sucks, i would avoid pioneer since they include them on some of the lower stuff.

Holy poo poo. Just spent over an hour trying to fix my mach 1 grille delete. http://www.dallasmustang.com/mustang-parts/product/GRILLE-DELETE-PANELS-1999-2003-MACH-I-BLACK/6091 Ive had this on my car ghetto style for about 6 months, just using fat double stick tape, it looked like poo poo, so i decided to do it properly. Youre supposed to screw bolts in UNDERNEATH the bumper, i took the loving headlights out, still couldnt get my hand in there. gently caress this thing. Its literally impossible to install without taking your whole front god drat bumper off. time to buy the american muscle one with the plastic flaps because they actually engineered it for people not installing it in the manufacturing plant. Not even sure why websites sell this loving part as it comes from ford.

I didnt know this before i bought the ford part that you basically have to install it with the bumper off, otherwise i would have just bought the american muscle one (only reason i bought the official ford parts is they were $15 or $20 cheaper for the emblem and the lip) Its hilarious reading all these forums where people are like "wow it was a bitch to take the 4 under lip bolts out!", yeah, they have no loving idea how lucky they are they managed to buy the american muscle one and not the official ford one.

kalvick posted:dang Im sorry dude, cant you just shave the notches of the bottom with a dremmel? The notches arent the problem, the problem is keeping the whole thing in contact with the bumper. As soon as you put the plastic push pin screws in the whole U shape just stretches outwards and you have this piece of black plastic just sort of floating over your bumper, it looks like poo poo. You have to put the 4 bolts back in for it to keep contact. Double stick tape doesnt work unless you leave the push pins out (which i did.... looked awful). Basically like i said, it shouldnt even be sold without a huge disclaimer from companies that it has to be installed with the bumper off. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Sep 8, 2011 |

I saw the 2013 5.0 in person and the tail lights are.. pretty nice. What they are is one big piece of smoked bubble plastic over intricate LEDs. When the brake lights are off it looks cheaper than i expected though. This was an all black 5.0 and the rest of it looks loving sweet though. I like the little slats in the hood, and the hood seems to sweep down a lot more and make the front of the car look a bit more sleek. The headlights look a lot better in person than i expected. I sort of miss the front fascia of the california special/laguna seca, but the front bumper is much better than the stock one on 5.0s of 2012. The side trim pieces being painted glossy black didnt look too bad and the car didnt look that bloated. Im trying to get a picture of the taillights from my friend... will post that when available

That ford guys handing out dangerous advice. If i knew i was driving a 412hp coupe on summer tires with 40k miles i would be driving it like it was a UPS truck to the nearest tire shop, i imagine the tires would have lost all tread and would expect .1g of lateral grip into the corners (might be an exaggeration, but still). When you have the cash and hankook has mail in rebates then buy hankook ventus V12s all around, the p-zeros are probably already gone if you drive spirited at all. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Jan 14, 2012 |

If theres no nearby cars in your configuration then i think its ordered from the factory.

Their interior is still a New Edge interior which is one of the worst interiors ive ever seen (for reference i own a 99 GT so i have to live with it every day, im not just hating).
