It's funny, I used to get thumbs up from other mustang guys when I had my black 04 GT but I kept that thing so shiny and polished that could be the reason lol. I get more hate than fans, the last guy that complimented me on my mustang was at a gas station and he was a cop so obviously I was...

Hating on other car makes and mod preferences was the thing to do when I was younger but now I could care less. The american muscle car community can be a little toxic, this is apparent in one of the recent threads where a member traded in their gt for a civic si. People were hating on him like...

Technically you can reply to any post on this forum with who gives a shit, but the OP asked a question and looked for some input lol. :party: We all have more in life than just cars but that doesn't mean we eliminate our hobbies just because of life.

I'm really tempted but after looking at prices for this same car with similar miles around 30k I'm thinking I should just fix it and keep it. The cost of engine replacement for labor and new engine is $9,800. Another shop quoted me $10,600. But I want to supercharge it, so I'm debating on...

I took mine to carmax with cylinders 5, 6, and 8 low compression so the car needs an engine, its a 2017 gt base manual and they offered me 23k for it. 44k miles on it.

I only have 44k on mine, thanks for the info. Still deciding between fix or sell. 😅 Congrats on the new purchase.

Just curious how many miles did you have on it? I have a 17 gt manual with engine damage and was quoted 23k for it as well.

Hi All, sorry for not updating this, I had these so long that I let them all go for $400, they are sold.

Hello, I'm selling my headers since CA doesn't allow me to stay smog legal with them even if they are catted lol. These parts are brand new never installed. Since I'm going to supercharge my car there's no need for these as power adders for me. They would help make more power but I'm not trying...

You were correct on this, I brought the car to a place that actually builds engines. Well the engine builder mostly splits time between his shop and another. But the guy knows his stuff, told me he could put me back to stock for about 5k. Next steps on this, they are going to build the engine...

They mentioned to me they would have to send it out for any engine work so these are clearly not the mechanics to help me. I'm going to take the car somewhere else, so for now I'm having it towed back home. Their final assumption is that the timing jumped which caused the damage. Are there any...

I just had that thought pop into my head prior to you mentioning that and I called them back. I was looking around and seen performance short blocks for 7k, so that got me thinking. The mechanic said the shortblock wouldn't come with everything, and started listing items that would not be...

That's what I was most surprised about, no low oil light or low oil pressure reading from the digital gauges. It always read normal. They just called and said cylinders 5, 6, 8 were low. They priced a remanufactured engine from Ford for 7k. So with install i'm looking at 10 once it's all...

My other car is just my commuter, its a 2014 chrysler which oddly enough has been extremely reliable. But two different types of oil, the mustang got royal purple synthetic and the chrysler got whatever i happened to grab that met the standard, I think it was castrol. Maybe the royal purple oil...

I'm a younger mr magoo without the glasses lol. theres no oil in the driveway or garage, not a drop. But why would the car burn that much oil? I have 2 cars and changed the oil in both of them on the same day. One is fine, the other is my mustang :facepalm:. I drove my other car way more, even...

I know, I called VMP just to confirm but they said they are compression testing the cylinders and not driving it. I told the mechanic I would unflash it for their testing but it can't be driven until I reflash the tune. VMP said for what they need to check it would be ok, just try not to drive...

I haven't had to regularly check my oil like that since I had a g35, that thing burned a quart every 2 weeks easily lol. Mechanic called just now, they can't locate the noise, they said the exhaust was too loud for them to hear any rattling. I told them they need to hear it during a drive. They...

Thanks for all the replies, I'm positive I put 8 quarts but who knows maybe not :crazy:. One somewhat important thing to note, when I changed the oil it only had 5 quarts in it, probably an indicator I should have been watching the level lol. Im having my mechanic take a look at it tomorrow...

It was 8 quarts, and I forgot to mention that this was done about 5 months ago. I mostly drive my primary car and my mustang I take for a drive on the weekends or to the store, things like that. So I haven't put a ton of mileage on it since the oil change which is a little concerning. It might...

I think I may have damaged this car and i'm not sure how it started. My mustang isn't my daily driver, I did the oil change with royal purple (oil and filter) and It was not leaking anywhere in the driveway. After taking the car out for a drive on Friday I got on the car up until about 3rd gear...
