  1. Daily drivers: highest mileage gt350

    I've got a 2016 Tech Pack GT350. I'm just about at 79,000 miles. Not quite a daily driver but lots of road trips and a few track days (added a trans oil cooler early in 2024 which helped the track efforts tremendously). The car is currently getting a new clutch; i'm staying with OEM parts. The...
  2. UPR Billet Oil Drain Plug - Thoughts?

    Blame me if you feel you have to, but your install instructions aren't exactly rocket science... Pretty sure I got it right. Your private message asked if I "...could test the drain plug in your oil pan without oil so you can install it without any interference and see just how the unit locks...
  3. UPR Billet Oil Drain Plug - Thoughts?

    A fair point, which leads me to believe it was only leaking while at operating temperature while being driven. When it cooled, the oil pan shrank down enough to make a decent seal again, thus no mess on the driveway. If the engine was actually burning off that much oil surely there would have...
  4. UPR Billet Oil Drain Plug - Thoughts?

    You're correct. After day 3 I noticed I had no oil on the dipstick, ended up adding 6 quarts to get it back to full. After day 5 I added another 2 quarts, and one more quart before driving home and one quart after getting back home. The car has burned oil in the past, sure, but never that much...
  5. UPR Billet Oil Drain Plug - Thoughts?

    Found this thread after the fact and too late to save myself, but I had the UPR drain plug (the newer updated version) fall out of my GT350 in the middle of a track day. It had been on the car for about 4500-5000 miles prior to this (including a drive from texas to North Carolina for Tail of the...
  6. A real Oil Cooler Line fix preview...

    Thank you for the pics, that's a cool (pun intended) setup! Let me rephrase my question. The female socket that attaches to the Ford OEM cooler, the piece with that o-ring clip, is there a name for that? Or is this one Ford part the only socket of that type in the world? Never mind that he...
  7. A real Oil Cooler Line fix preview...

    Seconded. At least the name of the type of fitting for the OEM oil cooler so I can find/make my own adapter to AN fittings.
  8. 2019 Shelby GT350 800R Twin Turbo Build | 809 whp

    Amazing work as usual! Inciting envy in every 350 owner, haha. Question, if i may: I have a 2016 Tech Pack GT350, so I don't have a transmission oil cooler. Is a transmission oil cooler part of your track cooling package, or is that a separate job/package (or not an option at all)? I love...
  9. GT-350 Colgan Bra

    TL;DR They're ugly, yes, but they have their uses. I'm completely on board that leather/vinyl bras are ugly, but I go on a lot of cruises and road trips (mostly Texas Hill Country) and while they are the most fun drives ever, they involve a lot of rocks getting kicked up, and somebody in the...
  10. GT-350 Colgan Bra

    Just got my Colgan two-piece bra delivered a couple days ago, and tried installing it today. It's an incredibly tight fit, almost frustrating. The instructions recommend letting it sit in warm sunlight for 30 minutes to make the vinyl material stretch more easily, and I don't think the hood...
  11. Anyone have their 5.2L motor replaced by Ford? Timeline?

    My engine was found to have burned 3 quarts of oil in 1000 miles (after 2 weeks to diagnose, plus the 1000 mile "test drive"). After the 1000 miles, it was another 2 weeks for Ford to refuse an engine replacement and opted to replace the cylinder heads and head gaskets. The gaskets were...
  12. 2020 Rear Spoiler Retrofit

    The restrictor plate is part of the upper grille, as is the Cobra badge. You can't order those parts separately. The original upper grille's MSRP is $350, best price I found was $230 (AutoNation White Bear Lake). The 2019/20 GT350 grilles are same as the 350-R grille but with a silver badge...
  13. Paint Protection recommendations?

    Tint World in Grapevine put Suntek on my whole front end for about $1000 all-in, and they got it done in a single business day with flawless application. I got it right before my first big road trip last year and it saved me from dozens of potential paint chips in the bumper and the leading 6...
  14. Painted Front strut bar option from JLT Performance

    Looks fantastic! Are the stripes painted or vinyl? I've already got the coil covers and fuse box cover on my wish list, looks like this is going on as well :)
  15. Regrets not getting PPF?

    Eh, well then I guess the "protection" feature of paint protection film was simply oversold to me. Next road trip I'll be sure to get a regular leather car bra, too.
