1st car was an 83 GLX convertible. Not a bad first car for a 16 year old at the time. Since then I had another 83 GLX, but with the 5.0, a highly modified 85 GT that almost every day I regret selling, and a 91 GT.
I did not like the 94-2014 versions, but when I saw the S550 at the OKC auto...
If you are Procharged, don't expect to see a massive drop in CHTs with the PP radiator. It will be better, but unless you have hood louvers, it won't make a massive difference. However, getting that gunky stock radiator out should improve things. Not a bad $100 upgrade though and good find.
Per a different post I made, I decided to try DBA race pads at Hallett today. However, I was left underwhelmed and concerned during the bed in process last week, so I put my G-Loc R16's back on and waited until the last session to try the DBA's. I installed the pads and did a quick bedding...
I will say the fuel cut is a bit better with the DW400 compared to the stock pump but this cutting over 6500 is new. But I will look into that KPM kit. Thank you!
Tracking my M1 today. Hot AF in Oklahoma (100 F by 11 am). I did swap the stock fuel pump out for the DW400 but still having fuel cut issues when tracking out of a fast left turn. Now I am getting fuel cut/hesitation when I am over 6500 RPM. Livernois Flex tune. I did go from using full E85...
Thank you for this information!
Ya, the more I think about it, the more I just want to avoid any issues and put my R16's on and call it a day. I'll do a spirited drive tomorrow morning and decide.
I just finished bedding the pads and I’m a bit skeptical of how they will work on track. They are quiet. Like normal street pad quiet. On about the 4-5th hard deceleration, they became more grabby. Nowhere near the R16’s but better than the stock Mach 1 pads. Next update on Sunday. Definitely...
On the 16GT in my sig, the CHT's were a massive issue on track. I think that car went into limp mode around 260 F. No idea what the oil, trans, or diff temps were.
Do you have gauges to monitor these? Definitely datalog next HPDE session.
They are brake pads. I know, I was a bit surprised to see they had pads too. I'm bringing my G-Loc's just in case of any issues. Price is good and at the rate I go through pads, it is palpable...
I just put these on my Mach 1 and will be testing/reporting on these this Sunday. I have been exclusively using G-Loc R12 and R16 but want to try out others. Has anyone used these and if so, thought? Flyhalf's post about his car being faster than the GTD got me stalking his build page and I...
My cats lasted about 5k miles after I put the Procharger on. I never upgraded the half shafts on that car, but I never launched it from a dig. I did, however, replace the half shafts on my Mach 1 yesterday. Surprisingly easy job that took only about 2.5 hours. Stock right side was leaking...
If it is the 2020 GT in his sig, it is in the recall.
OP, if you have never removed the necessary parts to access the pumps, there is no need to be afraid. Removal and replacing them is extremely easy.
After trading in a Mustang with catted LTHs I 100% agree with this. The only reason to go to LTHs are if you are running FI and melt your cats. The $queeze i$nt worth the juice. Put that money into something else to improve performance.
IMHO, if you want a REALLY good brake porn look, a 2 piece slotted would be the way to go. The Steeda 2 piece is gorgeous. Girodisc makes a damn good rotor too.
Plenty of options on American Muscle's website, but a good 2 piece is sexy.
I did get the plates. Fast delivery and they are well made. Thank you!
Can you PM me the price for the vents?
Agree on the "working up the courage". I put Race Louvers in a spare hood on my GTI. Measure 50 times, cut once kind of thing.
Ya, I just spoke to my insurance agent to inquire about this because my ExST likely has the same "severe, extensive exterior damage" indicator. Hopefully they can get CarFax to edit that because I'll get raped on the trade in.
