Looks fixable to me, I always thought that a vehicle is considered totaled once the cost of repair exceeds the cars market value. I don't think you have 20k+ in damage there.

They do, because I used to get a lot of them, that guy is incorrect in saying that you can't beat an estimate from the officer in court because you can. They have to get me on radar to get my guilty plea lol.

True, but you have been here long enough to know that one post about catless headers probably isnt that big of a deal considering there are thousands of posts here about catless headers 😄

For vehicles being driven on a public highway yes.... Thanks everyone else, I'll ask my mechanic to fab something up instead of re-using the factory piping.

I have a 2017 GT and my mechanic is bolting up the headers w/ X pipe and a pair of Roush axle backs. He called me and told me I was missing a piece and sent me the picture below. I see what he is saying but is my axleback actually missing a piece or does this need to be created? I would think...

The fact that he's creating shirts taunting his neighbors don't really sell the innocent angle for me lol.

I just replaced my engine on my own due to cylinders 5,6 and 8 low compression. But the engine had a rattle so maybe it was more severe than yours. Mine also ran low on oil very quickly. Edit: 2017 base gt

The shop I have it at now was also telling me about the warranty but i'm sure thats void as soon as the mods go right back on lol. He agreed to swap my parts over, for engine mods I have JLT intake, 18' manifold, 47# injectors, VMP E85 tune, steeda H pipe, aero axleback. As he is putting in the...

I will give them a call since my mechanic hasn't even picked up my engine yet lol. Could be worth checking out.

Ok thats pretty close to what i'm paying, I was quoted $9600 and I didn't even think of taking my car to the dealership lol. Too many bad experiences. I bought a mustang brand new in 05 and took it to the dealer for warranty work, they said based on the tire tread and what they seen in the...

I started looking at those but I wasn't sure what would smog and what wouldn't. I live in CA so using a different engine or even a 2018 and things like that I was completely unsure of. I've never had to replace an engine before lol. Let me know what that costs, I may have to ask this second...

Low oil and high RPMs lol, I had my car die after a race when I put the clutch in. It still started up and got me home but it immediately threw a code for over advanced camshaft position. The leak down test showed the bottom end was bad. So it is currently getting a new engine and Roush...

I have a 17 with 45k and im also replacing the long block. I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion and leakdown test. They’re installing the new engine as we speak :crying: its about $9,600 for a new engine installed. I couldn’t find used engines for less than $8,500 and those had 60k...

If you plan on racing your car then those pirellis will struggle to get off the line. If you're just doing spirited driving then they should be fine. My stock pirellis and stock wheels just spun up to the top of second even when i feathered the gas pedal to try to gain traction.

You can see from this video that my car is a little under half tank and it says 39 miles left and the gas light is on lol. The video was originally posted to show how bad of a startup it is with E85.

Sometime my gas light would come on as early as a little under half a tank lol

I'm also in modesto and wanted to install a short throw shifter but changed my mind based off the install process as well. If you can get someone that can install it for you let me know because I also need that :)

Just to update everyone on this, I researched every option available. From used engines to rebuilding and it looks like the best route to go is still a new engine replacement. A used engine for this car runs $8,500 - $9,000 which I think is crazy since the quote for installation of a new ford...

I know exactly what you mean, 580 is a landmine of teslas and prius's that are content with cruising around 65 in the fast lane. Then when you use the middle lane to pass they all of a sudden want to speed up lol. Fortunately they are just golf carts with doors. :crackup:

I've been telling everyone this lol, I keep asking myself what salesman told these guys they are buying a sports car? I have these new turbo camrys come at me crazy all the time. 😅
