I ran into the same problem a while back when I wanted quad tips on my '17, but didn’t want to shell out for a whole new catback or deal with sketchy eBay listings. I actually browsed through a bunch of random sites, but finding just the tips in the right size and finish was kind of a pain...

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...
