So I began the install. Man are those hood studs skinny on the 2018! Decided to return the kit. Sad about this but longevity trumps apparance. Steeds should regesign the kit. I'd like to try again someday.

Are you hearing any ticking? Hey, If you have a 2018, and are borescoping the cylinder looking for problems you may be worrying too much. Oil in the pan? Not likely. Ford sells thousands of Stangs each week. Relax and enjoy. If you have a noise just take it in. Every car has some potential...

https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/rivet-blind-7822685-1 I hate broken clips. Get one of these kits or similar: https://www.amazon.com/Ginsco-102pcs-Fasteners-Expansion-Replacement/dp/B076BMVZ8R/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1532641331&sr=1-5&keywords=Fasteners Then for under $10 you're...

Instead of a simple solenoid door release like every other damn car Ford decided to go with a complex anti-siphon system that causes all kinds if issues if your nozzle isn't the precise width and length. Ford then did two things to make it all better. One, make no interior release mechanism...

Ridiculous So the "security" package I bought was locking lug nuts and center console? Seems expensive. I've had several cars with inside fuel door releases but not this one and Ford doesn't even make one for the 6gen? Well there is clearly aftermarket demand. I would buy a locking gas cap...

This. You know I was thinking that these jacking rails make a great first mod. And honestly where else is it easier to get a torque wrench onto a bolt? Maybe on a lug nut, but on so many fasteners you just can't maneuver a long ass torque wrench in there at all. And if you can't torque...

Do a burnout and count the stripes? Then you'll know if you have a LSD. That's the fun way and if you forget the stipes can remind you the next day.

Me too but the OP said autobox? No clutch? Clutch is pretty distinctive. I still get some small rotten egg cat smell. But he didn't describe sulfur either. Odd one. I suspect something contacting a manifold and burning off. Few dops of oil maybe spilled on it during a fluid top off. Pop the...

About to install my own struts and do write up. But I doubt it would improve on yours. Haha. Good work! Going to revive this thread because longevity and durability matter. So tell us, how do the struts look after two years? Do the struts still hold the hood up okay? What does the hardware...

I'm actually trying to find this out myself. Made a request for information in a thread started by a guy who had his own shift fork replaced. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106166&page=2 The OP in that thread says so. But have to see of Ford made an actual fork change or...

"FU?" Really? Anybody can wreck a transmission, A real hamfist can wreck a bulletproof trans in 100 miles of driving, and a smooth operator can eke out many thousand of miles on a weak transmission. Sometimes it's a little bit of both. Glad you are getting taken care of. You do get a lot...

The Ford engineers aren't lying to you. Hard to see how Ford recommending long oil change intervals supports your theory. It is just that engines are better designed than they used to be. Oils are better. Filters are better. If anything Ford is too conservative in their intervals since they are...

I have a 2018 GT, build date 2/18. I have *no slack* and plenty of white showing. The hose looks way too tight in there. Come on Ford. This is that lack of attention to detail that really annoys me. Ford has the hose listed as part of a larger assembly 7A543. For reference...

Promo codes for the asking? I have a shopping cart filled with hood struts and jacking rails over at Steeda.com. With a promo code I'll pull the trigger and order right now. Thanks!

The imports around here use the front tow point not for a hook but for an offset license plate bracket. And I had front and rear threaded holes on my WRX with the loop (not really a hook) was in the trunk with the spare tire.

I see your sig, I had a '99 Maxima 5MT for 10 years, and a 6MT Forester, and had a 2012 WRX 5MT for 6 years. Now we both have Mustang GT MT's. Similar experiences. But the point of my post was you may play with mods but actual improvement over stock is near impossible. Hardcore tuners can...

Really ignorant. Every used car was once bought new. Besides there are a lot of advantages to buying new, ESPECIALLY if you like stock since it will not have ever been modified. And you get to spec it exactly how you want it, making mods even less important.

Have to live with it then. Thanks everyone.

My bad. I got mixed up. You know the more I look into this there really isn't a linear relationship between intake tube size and horsepower. A big tube may have bad flow and a smaller one can have better flow. And since flow varies with RPM it gets complicated. A small tube may have better...
