What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[gorditas]

I've seen this car closeup and it looks like as OEM and impressive as you'll ever see. The only concern I have with any under-car mounting is, if they hang low, our Michigan roads are so bad, I'd worry about the oil return system or the turbocharger itself contacting the road without some type of skid plate protection?

I've not had any issues. The turbos and oil tanks aren't the lowest components. If the front splitter clears, you're good.

here is the post you were referring to in case anyone else is looking

Just ordered this from them… hopefully here next week.

Is it not an age related (rather than source of the brace) thing ?

Or maybe even a 'what have we got in stock today' thing ? (likely with Ford ... lol)

I think the plate with more text on it was possibly earlier on, and it was defo on some of the early cars that the press got hold of :

That's from a 'first drive' article in 2015 :

I don't know if the brace would have even been available as an accessory from FP at that point in time (2015 / 2016) ?

There are other online images with R's with the 'text' plaque e.g. :

I have the version with the extra text :

WD

I ordered the 350R brace brand new directly from Ford Performance. I ended up actually getting the one I wanted without the extra text! I guess it is really a luck of the draw thing! Very nice surprise to open the hood and see the one I wanted after install.

Finished the Kooks ultra X install (replaced Borla Switchfire), loaded a fresh DRP 93 tune with ghost cam. So far very pleased with the process and result. First event with new tune is this Saturday and will be taking the “Mach Box” on its maiden voyage. Then E-85 tuning next week!

nice! Is there any labeling on the X pipe itself? My car came with an X on it but I havent had a chance to get under it and see if I can ID what brand it is.

No, no markings :(

Is there a difference between the GT350 vs the GT500 steering wheel?

Do IT!

From what I can tell, the only difference is the 350 wheel has the black center stripe, the 500 has the white center stripe. You also have to swap the back part of the wheel if you get the 500 one since it has the paddle shifters. Idk for me I like to use 350/R parts rather than 500 since I see the 350/R as our cars cousin and the 500 as the older bro.

Hey guys FYI, this happened yesterday, but don’t run over your mouse traps on the way out of the garage. Luckily I caught it right as it happened or could’ve been really bad. Before and after my hour of cleaning.

Moved to Missouri from Colorado and had to tow her instead of drive her. Thankfully, the only bad thing on the way was exploding an armadillo I couldn’t avoid late last night and the flaps didn’t completely block the carnage… good excuse to detail her!
