I did the 110 class a couple of years back and it’s honestly a blast, but way more technical than just floor-it-and-go. The "Narrows" section is where it gets real, you’re basically threading a needle through canyon walls at speeds that feel much faster because of how tight the road gets. My...

I totally get where you're coming from. I used to go down the rabbit hole of modding every single thing the second I got a new car, but lately, I’ve found myself enjoying the stock setup way more. There’s something nice about not worrying about fitment issues, drone, or whether a tune is going...

I used to hang on to old car parts way too long, usually piling them up in the garage or tossing them under the deck if I ran out of space inside. It seemed like a good idea in case I ever wanted to swap back to stock, but honestly, most of the stuff just ended up taking over my storage. After a...

I shipped my classic car last year when moving across the country and was super nervous the whole time. I ended up going with an enclosed carrier to make sure it was well-protected from the weather and road debris, especially since older cars can be a bit temperamental. What helped a lot was...

Building a new house from scratch is a big project but definitely rewarding. I recently went through a similar transition when I moved from California to Nevada, and it was quite the experience. Having a reliable moving company made a massive difference in the process. Feel free to reach out if...

That’s quite a change in size! I’ve played around with wheel and tire setups before, but I haven’t tried that exact combo. If you’re aiming for more grip, the 305/45/17 should help a lot, but make sure you check for fitment and maybe adjust your suspension. I’ve had good luck with 275/40/17 in...

If it were me, I’d go for the wrap. I had a chance to wrap my car in a new color a while back, and it was a total game-changer for how the car looked. The headers do add some power and make it louder, but I think the wrap will give you more immediate satisfaction and visual appeal. You could...

I was in the same spot with my 2019 GT before I traded it for a Mach 1. I loved my GT, but I wanted the manual and the extra special touches of the Mach 1. Honestly, it was a bit of a splurge, and I miss my old GT sometimes. If you’re happy with your GT and don’t mind the auto, I’d say keep it...

I recently had a great experience with A1 Auto Transport. They were super communicative throughout the whole process, and I felt really confident about the timing and logistics. They picked up my car on the scheduled date and even gave me regular updates on the status, which was a huge relief...

I also play guitar, and learning it has been a fun ride. When I started, I just had a simple guitar and amp. The key for me was to keep practising and trying new things. Every new riff I learned made it more exciting. I watch a bunch of guitar videos on YouTube, too. It's cool to see how...

When I was in a similar situation, looking for a reliable yet sporty car, I had my heart set on a Subaru WRX. Just like the Mustang GT, it's a performance car, so I had to be extra careful about its maintenance history and any modifications done by the previous owner. It's always best to have a...

Unfortunately, I did not. The parts manager said that was the engine part number it said to order based on my VIN number. I sent a query to Tasca and I'm hoping they can tell us. I know Cyl #2 let go. I know the rod broke and punched thru the engine wall and I know the piston broke up (it...

Thanks man! Fortunately my baby is back in one piece and on the road again. Made it out of the dealer with a new engine, turbo, misc. parts, labor and Ford Performance Pro Cal/Intake installed (labor only) for $6,500.00. So... now we know what it costs to replace a blown Ecoboost engine...

Well, bad news on the Ford Performance tune from Ford Warranty: "We can register this VIN for the Ford Performance warranty, but I did want to remind you that our warranty is for 3 years, 36,000 miles from the original in-service (sale) date of the vehicle which would give you approximately...

I had it connected to the vehicle and the gauges were registering voltage and the laptop was connected to WiFi. Not sure if the fact that the dealer already downloaded with my ID has something to do with it but I asked them to give me a copy. Does anyone know if it downloads the stock tune to...
