Hi OP, given the wing will be acting through the springs/dampers (i.e. sprung aero), you can measure the change in downforce by measuring the change in suspension travel at a given speed: 1. Add some method to measure ride height (suspension potentiometer, etc) 2. Drive down the road at...

Maybe something is wrong/faulty with the electrical system for the fuel pumps if they're dying so frequently. Sounds like the wiring has given you issues (relays/coils/pumps).

Well this might be so, but I highly doubt it. Someone posted up an in-depth article by some tuners about what you can do on the S550 ECU, and it's just a modern ECU, so you technically can. Maybe Ford/Bosch (or whoever supplies the ECU) has locked it down, but not sure why they'd do this. Or...

Hi all, With fuel&ignition being controlled by the ECU these days, I"m pretty sure you could ask a tuner to make this happen. The normal fuel saving strategy by Ford would be to cut fuel on throttle lift, but cars like the A45/FocusRS/Jag X-type/etc keep on injecting a bit of fuel so that it...

To be fair though, it's a good question. If you read the VicRoads (I'm in Melbourne) VSI8, then you're not allowed to do any mods to affect the ESC. Changing to coilovers/lowering def will affect the operation ESC. Having said that, ESC might work/be as effective as OEM, but it might not. The...

Probably because you need a flex-fuel sensor to monitor how much ethanol is in the fuel. Anyway, I found an online manual from Ford AU here: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2016-Mustang-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-AUS_07_2015.pdf Text reads...

I'm not too worried about where the parts are coming from; I'd assume Ford dealers get factory pricing from Ford/Ford Performance. What I do care about is that it means ADR/roadworthy for suspension changes. Were Herrod offering that already?

In Australia, 65k is M135i/S3 money, so that's why we're comparing to these euro hot hatches.

It was for the current S550 2015+ Mustang. Track Pack installed was $4k-ish. Lowering springs was $1.2 installed. Check with your dealer; looked like a standard price sheet from Ford AU.

Ford AU is just an importer. Ford USA makes both LHD and RHD in the same plant from what I've read. So once it switches to MY18, rhd will be MY18 too. That means 10AT. Didn't that happen when they dropped Competition Orange and offered Grabber Blue? People didn't get what they ordered cos it was...

I believe that dealer is offering it as installed option, but the brochure/offer is probably from Ford Australia. Either way, I highly doubt they would offer if it wasn't ADR or roadworthy. I asked the sales guy and he said yes... but we all know they can be wrong. Apparently it just became...

If I order today, I won't get it until Dec 2017. Production will definitely be MY18, which means 10spd auto plus possibly MagnRide etc. If you have already ordered, what you get will depend on where in the queue you are when they switch to MY18. Of course there's no 10AT option right now...

12baller12 King3o0o I went in to Knox Ford dealer over the weekend and the guy said any contract signed now will be the price, even if price goes up. I highly doubt prices will drop. I fully expect the 10spd auto to be standard in auto. Hopefully we'll get the dual mode exhaust and MagneRide...

I'm just hoping the dual mode exhaust and MagneRide make it to RHD

Hi all, Am I reading it right that cars are being delivered now for orders taken 6-9 months ago?

The way that I read it, it actually says: the 5.0 GT is expecting 95RON, so by using 98RON, there will be no benefit. Of course, if the sensors detect knock, they will retard. But if the spark/cam timing is "optimised" (i.e. calibrated) for 95RON, then it probably won't care if you are...

Aus-MustangGT United buys on wholesale market i think whatever is cheap. BP Shell Caltex have longer agreements with the refineries but i still think its all the same base fuel 91/95/98RON. Just different additive packages at the distribution terminal. There are lots of threads on other firums...

@G_RUSH Why do you say Australia has shit fuel? Don't you trust the lab at the local refinery in WA to do their job? I trust mine here in Victoria to certify 95RON as 95RON. Also, modern engines have knock sensors which will prevent any damage.

So I asked Ford Australia on fb and this was reply : Hi Rex, thanks for your message. We can only comment on the Mustang that it sold here in Australia and that is recommended to use 98 octane unleaded in your Mustang though it has been optimized for operation using 95 octane unleaded. Your...

Pure ethanol is 100+ RON already :) ANd you get the lovely smell too :D
