"When are we going to get away from this blown engine talk? I used to love this forum back in the day..."
As soon as it hasn't happened in a week or two. I do agree - this forum was certainly more enjoyable when we could simply discuss cool add-ons, tuning and regular topics.
I considered...
When your car is at Ford getting repaired under warranty, i'm pretty sure Ford would be informed since they're sending a new motor to the dealership for free.
If you want to know what Ford thinks about this, i doubt you'll hear anything official.
Noticed your car today on our way into the theater (Zootopia). Parked near the front - I said nice car and you gunned it on the way by (my son and I held the door open and you let her rip!).
Haven't seen too many other Mustangs around yet - just got mine out this weekend (Black EB PP). It would...
I test drove a GT and an EB when i was car shopping. The GT was fun and sounded great - the EB PP surprised me with decent acceleration and in Canada, was almost $10,000 cheaper than a PP GT. It all came down to purchase cost and cost of ownership. I use the car as my DD from April to October...
So...production of 6th gen Mustangs began on July 14, 2014. Safe to say that there are currently many tens of thousands driving around (30 to 50 thousand EBM's?) The bulk of those driving EBM's are not driving the crap out of them (think DD for average, non-performance oriented individuals) and...
What brand/model are your new speakers?
1st - move balance to the left and fader to front so only the drivers side front speakers are playing. Have a listen, then switch balance to the right. Try and center yourself above the center console while you do this for both sides. If there's bass from...
"He build his own template to get the shape. This process lets him get the shapes he needs to make it fit in the trunk without having to do a bunch of fiberglass work."
Good idea - i made a partial wood/fiberglass enclosure for the sub in my EBM. The fiberglass really just sealed the wood...
1) What do you like/dislike the most about it?
Looks good (duh), handles reasonably well and is very comfortable (base EB with PP). Downside? I miss the sound and power of a V8.
2) If you were considering both models, are you happy that you went with the EB?
I was considering both...
If you're concerned about your stock 2.3 blowing up, why would you want to have a tune done? The solution to your anxiety isn't modifying your car - leave it alone and enjoy it.
If you want a faster car and reduced anxiety, get a GT.
Actually i'm one of those people that was completely unaware of LSPI (low speed pre-ignition) prior to reading about in on this forum. I've driven it pretty briskly in every gear and didn't notice any pinging. While a select few 2.3 motors have either tossed rods or shed a piston or two, the...
I'm not entirely new here...
I've been lurking mostly with the occasional post. Drive a 2015 EBM PP. Nice daily driver - drove it last year until the snow fell then fell back on my 2009 Civic coupe as a winter beater. Eager to get the mustang out and do some minor mods.
