I have the same CAI and my IATs are always right around 5-7 degrees above ambient if I'm traveling 40mph or faster. In traffic, yes, they skyrocket, but that also has to do with the fact that the Steeda CAI is an open-top design. At least the intake is right under the hood vent, so there is a...
Holy smokes!!! This contest is IN-SANE!!! :shocked::shocked::shocked:
My 10th wedding anniversary is this November. I can't imagine a better gift than a boosted 'Stang and a sick Raptor! Living in NC, the S550 would be perfect for the beach and the truck would be great for the mountains. We...
Congrats on the new car and welcome to M6G! :clap2:
Glad to help! It's been just over a week now since I put in the Tri-Ax and my love for it grows each time I drive the car. I took a buddy out for a spin Saturday night and did some fast shifting from 1st to 3rd going 0-70mph and it was...
Nice additions! :thumbsup:
I bought a cargo net that works great for light stuff like a bag of chips or a pair of shoes: http://smile.amazon.com/Envelope-Trunk-Cargo-FORD-MUSTANG/dp/B00VY468RU
I also have a small 30 or 40-quart Sterilite container from Target that I use to keep heavier items...
Thank you, thank you. You're too kind! :D
Seriously though, I have a really analytical personality (probably why I got into programming). I research the heck out of something before making a commitment, so when I was looking for a new shifter, I really did my homework. If my legwork can save...
@TheMightyAndrew I was in the same boat as you about a month ago, looking for a new shifter. You'll get four main responses to your question:
Steeda
MGW
Barton
Ford Racing
Each one varies a little bit from the others, but they will all shorten the throw and clean up the sloppiness in the...
Since when was the cure for transmission clunk and shifting hang-ups to simply ditch the clutch assist spring? Don't get me wrong, I personally enjoy the heavier clutch feel now, but a $10 part is not the miracle cure for the stock drivetrain issues in this car.
You're a machinist. Going to a...
That's a good start, but again, it won't do anything to fix the clunking noise or the hang-ups you're experiencing while shifting. I did the Steeda spring first too (bought it March 12th), but it's a totally separate thing from the shifter and transmission issues. After a month, I still wasn't...
It won't. It has nothing to do with the "clunk" noise. It's just an option to improve the overall driving experience for the manual trans.
It's fine if you like the stock spring, but I have the Steeda spring and can I also let the clutch out without bucking or stalling. That's because it's...
Steeda Tri-Ax shifter + 35lb clutch spring + transmission mount bushing = WIN
@PJR202 I experienced all the symptoms you described. The hang-ups from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. The "bump" noise when going into gear. Overall "sloppy" feeling of the stock shifter. They're all GONE. The stock...

Question: How is the ride competed to the R?
Ben's answer: MUCH better. The R is a track car first and street car second. This is the other way around.
In my early driving years, I was busted for speeds like 60 in a 45 and 72 in a 55. I stick to between 5 and 7mph over now though. I'll do 50 in a 45 zone or 77 in a 70. Haven't had a speeding ticket in 13 years.
It feels like the opposite to me. If I'm in the mid-70s on a 70mph highway, people...
Go with a tune and a Roush axle-back muffler kit. You'll get decent HP gain from the tune, and the axle-backs will give you more rumble than stock, without blowing your wife's eardrums out. If you want to save some weight in addition to getting a louder exhaust noise, keep the stock mufflers but...
While traveling on a dead flat highway road with zero headwind or tailwind, my cruise control will read X miles per hour, but my speedo will usually read two or three miles per hour higher. That's with me leaning over to the right as well so I'm looking at it straight on. I agree that with the...
Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but after seeing how many responses there are from people unhappy with the seats, I have to ask: didn't you all sit in the car before buying it and realize then that they would be too tall for your liking?
