I don't drive it everyday but I do enjoy owning it everyday.

About 18 months ago I lost the digital broadcast of ABC 891 (Adelaide). All other digital stations seem to work as does 891 on the AM band. On the screen DAB+ 891 appears but no sound like it's muted. Ford service has updated the software but still the same. Any ideas?

Every 12 months. Regardless. Just serviced last week and had done about 2500km since last change.

I'll second Varex mufflers for taming LTH. I've got the smart bot that allows you to play with it via the app. Geo mode useful to keep it quiet around home. Matrix mode interesting; I've made the option of valves only 25% open when throttle open more than 15% and valves completely open below...

It would have been easy to make the front seats slide forward when the back is tilted forward to make it easier for rear passengers to enter/exit.

Hope you love this mod as much as I did. Game changer for me. I reckon the car shrank and lost weight with these!

That's interesting that the more recent Mustangs are different. Mine is one of the first deliveries of the S550 and built in Dec 2015. Hopefully like PKs and will fit.

The two main spare wheels available are 135/70 and 155/70 19s. The later from Pony Parts is very close in diameter to the 275/40 rears and so seems the obvious choice but does it fit easily into the wheel well? Any first hand experience of this much appreciated.

Hard to say and haven't tried gunning it with valve partially open. I am sure it feels more lively than with the previous set up of headers and standard mufflers, which you'd expect.

Finally finished off my exhaust with a pair of X-Force Varex mufflers. Two years ago I had Pacemaker long tubes and 3” centre pipe / resonators installed blending into the standard (2016) mufflers. Sounded ok sometimes but very loud Sunday mornings at start up and raspy at full noise. I’ve...

I've had the Xforce Varex oval mufflers installed two weeks ago and I'm very happy with the ability to go from quieter than stock to race car and everything in between. Totally amazed how each increment sounds so different. Closed vs. 25%, 50% 75% and 100% open - all distinctly different. I...

I concur re no increased NVH with the Steeda spherical RLCA bearing. Much improved rear end behaviour too. I'm interested why you changed to the Superpro bushing?

Exactly. Not suggesting this for your show and shine entry, just as a short cut for the family hack.

I agree this is the correct way and how I do look after my Mustang. But, this spray polish contains Carnauba wax so it provides the UV paint protection etc. and is quite 'slippery' to provide the lubricant for the clay. Feels much the same as when I use a proper spray detailer. This is the...

Interested in thoughts on using a clay bar with a spray polish as the lubricant. Done this few times when in a hurry on the (non-Mustang) family car and seems to work fine and saves a whole step in the process. Legit life hack or short sighted laziness? Using local Australian product, 'Lazy...

It's hard to know when to stop with suspension but I think I'm now at that point. See below for details but I've had this set up for 18 months and see no need to make any changes. All these components work in concert but If I had to nominate the one mod that I felt the greatest immediate...

Anybody running Corsa Touring mufflers with long tubes? Interested in your thoughts.

Under-bonnet love...

Late Christmas present, monogrammed cloths!

I agree with DFB5.0, the Mustang does have a great tendency to get out of shape. I always thought the front end was very faithful but the rear has a mind of its own. However, since I've had the Steeda RCLA bearings and FP toe knuckles installed this past 12 months, the rear has not got out of...
