I've replaced all the other fluids on my Mustang but it's the first time I'm doing coolant on any car. The stock coolant is about 7 years old now and has seen some heatcycles from track driving so I figured it's a good idea to replace.
Is it as simple as :
1. draining the old fluid from the...
Hi all,
I have a 2017 Ecoboost with 4 pot calipers (and the inverted rotor design that can't be cooled properly)
Since 2020 I took a break from track driving and want to get back into it. Before I just used my stock pads which glazed the rotors pretty bad and weren't up to the task anymore. I...
I just changed my rear differential fluid (non Torsen) and thought I'd share my findings for anyone considering doing it yourself.
First off a question to someone who has already done it before, the manual calls for 1.6 qts + 4 oz friction modifier. It also stated it should be 9mm within the...
I want to fit the 15-17 GT Performance Pack undertray on my 17 PP Ecoboost because I am upgrading to the 6 Piston brembo's and the GT PP undertray has ducts build in. Do I need to upgrade the front splitter too? Or will it fit with my base GT/PP Eco splitter? The undertray is only like 130$ but...
Hi all, since my last track day (back in august) my OEM rotors and pads are in need of replacing. I've only done like 5 track days total now and the last one was definitely the longest and hardest on my car. After 4 x 25min sessions on Spa Francorchamps my rotors and pads were done. The rear...
Just came back from a track day at Spa Francorchamps and now the brakes feel a little off. I did a fluid flush using Motul RBF 600 right before I went. The brakes aren't squeaking but you can hear the pads dragging against the rotor when braking (more than usual) and I find myself needing to...
I'm about to change the rear differential and the MT-86 fluid for the first time. Is there any special procedure I should follow or do you just fill both on level ground until the fluid starts dripping back out of the filler hole? I have a performance pack equiped 2017 Mustang Ecoboost. It's an...
My Mustang is mostly a garage queen which is mainly used for weekend cruises (both cold winters and hot summers) and track days. It's a 2017 model year so it's about 3 years old now and has +-5000 miles. I have done about 5 track days with it (road course).
Should I change the manual...
I need to jack the car up on all 4 tires, so I've bought Jack stands but they don't have a notch for the pinch weld. Is it fine to place them on the reinforced pinch weld section anyway? They do have rubber protection boots though.
Could I perhaps place them like this too or is the reinforced...
Is there a difference between the Castrol Magnatec Professional version for Ford cars and the regular Castrol Magnatec Start Stop? Price is the same and they both say A5 5W30
Because of the corona outbreak my dealer is closed, and my Mustang Ecoboost needs an oil change so I figured I'll do it...
I know I know, another post about exhaust, really?
But what I want to know is, those who have a mild exhaust upgrade like the Magnaflow Street, do you think it's worth it? Is it a noticable enough upgrade over stock? It's quite expensive to just change the sound slightly, without any change in...
Hi all, I'm looking for some suggestions suspension wise.
Goals for the car
About once a month I attend a track day (Road racing, not drag racing), Because I live in Europe, it's either the NĂĽrburgring, Spa Francorchamps or Zolder. Most of the time it's the NĂĽrburgring just because you can go...
Hi all, I just ordered a CP-E delta core intercooler. I read that when fitting a larger intercooler, there is a drop in pressure. Some reported that it made 20psi before and after upgrading it only made 18psi.
This might sound stupid to some, but does this mean that an aftermarket intercooler...
Does anyone know how much decibels an MBRP Race catback system produces? So far it's my favorite sounding exhaust, but I track (road course) my car and most tracks have a limit of about 100db at 70% of the engine's power stationary or 95db while driving.
If it's too loud I might get a Magnaflow...
Hi all,
I own a Mustang Ecoboost with the Performance Package and tend to go to a road course about once a month. I'm looking to upgrade the suspension to something that will handle better around the track. I was thinking of getting the Ford Performance Track Suspension Package, but I'm not...
Anyone have some tips on rempoving the PCV hose for catch can install from the top? I don't have a lift or jack and jackstands. I got one side loose easily but I can't get the other one off, I can squeeze my hand through and feel the clips but no matter how hard I push it won't come out.
I...
Hi all,
I took my car to the local road course track (spa francorchamps) for a 25min session. When I drove in the pit I heard loud squeaking when turning (no brakes applied) so I parked and took a look at the suspension but I couldn't find anything wrong.
But then I noticed that my brake...
I'm looking to install a bigger intercooler on my 2017 Mustang Ecoboost PP, probably one that will fit the stock location like the Mishimoto street intercooler. Not sure if I'd get the charge pipes too.
Anyway the reason I want to install one is because now and then I track the car on road...
This weekend I'm going to the track and doing a 500 miles roadtrip, (to the track and back). The dealer changed my oil at 1300miles (in march 2018) and I'm now at 2400 miles. My Mustang Ecoboost is a garage queen, I usually only drive short trips or cruising in the weekends.
I checked the oil...
I've been reading a lot on the forums regarding catch cans, and everyone seems to have a different opinion. Some said it's a waste of money because otherwise Ford would've installed it, others said that it's required but not installed from the factory because it's a high maintenance part...
