  1. Aftermarket grille/delete - cooling effects

    Thanks for the feedback. I agree, I love the look of the wire mesh. This mod is purely about looks for me, I just want to make sure I don't create an issue in the process!
  2. 20mm bolt on adapters - do I need to cut the studs?

    Yeah, massive pain in the ass for the rear ones! I paid a shop to do it.
  3. 20mm bolt on adapters - do I need to cut the studs?

    ^^^ I ended up sticking to my original plan of 15mm rear/20 front with extended ARP studs. I'm really pleased with the look, somewhere between OEM and aggressive which is exactly what I wanted.
  4. Aftermarket grille/delete - cooling effects

    I have a CCG upper and lower grille that I'm having the paint shop install this week. Just thought I'd check to see if people have noticed any negative cooling effects with this type of modification? My car is a daily driver but I will also be doing track days. Cheers
  5. oil pan upgrade

    Link works for me when I click it so not sure what's going on there! Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer. The price is great and I preferred the idea of an OEM Ford part but the GT350 oil pump is superfluous to my needs at this point so not worth it for me. If I ever end up doing a 350 IM in the future...
  6. oil pan upgrade

    EFI thought you might find this interesting... I started a thread about this subject on TMO before I discovered this thread. Someone has just posted that the GT350 pan will not work on the Coyote without changing the oil pump, due to a difference in the OD of the pick up, meaning it does not...
  7. oil pan upgrade

    Oh great, thank you for your info. So if I have it correctly, the pick up is contained below that white windage tray and the spout at the end mates up to whatever remains once the coyote pickup is removed? Yes, Apex EC7 18x10. 295/35/18 which is the largest size available in A050...
  8. oil pan upgrade

    thanks for the link! That's a bargain. Coyote is not listed under the applications on the tasca site though. It just lists 5.2L. Am I reading into this too much now? :headbonk:
  9. oil pan upgrade

    That may be the case. I haven't driven on cup 2 but have used NT01 which are just average. yoko A050 are in a different league - the best r-compound on the planet. Probably closer to R7
  10. oil pan upgrade

    It's marketed as "high output", but yes perhaps the coyote also has a "high output" pump. It seems odd that you can't buy the pan separately.
  11. oil pan upgrade

    That's a good point regarding the age of the cars. I'm sure there are lots of people out there running hoosiers and NT01s on their 350 and 350Rs. Maybe I should start a post in those forums. The idea of using a ford product that is marketed by ford as being compatible with the coyote sits better...
  12. oil pan upgrade

    Is this pan tried and true with r-compounds? GT350 comes with high performance summer tyres and cup 2s for the Rs but R compound is another level above. How does it differ to the stock pan with regards to slosh? trap doors? Thanks
  13. oil pan upgrade

    ^^^ the steering really is numb isn't. Everyone complains about electric steering and I've never considered myself to be in the camp of "steering feel whiners" but it's really terrible on the S550. The rear end lacks feel too, even with CB005, heavier springs/shocks/swaybars etc. Anyway, now I'm...
  14. oil pan upgrade

    Bumping this thread up there. I'm on the fence about an aftermarket oil pan. The peace of mind would be nice, but it's yet one more part that takes my new car with manufacturer's warranty towards another realm. I also don't like adding stuff "just for the sake of it" if it's unnecessary. Does...
  15. 20mm bolt on adapters - do I need to cut the studs?

    I have the OEM PP wheels and I'm looking at fitting 20mm bolt on adapters/spacers to the rear of my GTPP. Some threads I've searched suggest the stock studs need to be cut down a few mm while some others say it's not an issue. I would have thought all PP wheels are made equally in which case the...
  16. Aussie Exhausts

    No, I ordered the sport axle backs from Pony Parts Aus and the ford racing x pipe from eBay US and pieced it together to effectively create a catback. Except the stand alone ford racing x pipe is of higher quality than the x pipe that comes with the full cat back. Total cost was about $1750...
  17. Aussie Exhausts

    I believe that's a yes. Well over priced. It's a great sounding exhaust though, I'm very happy with my choice.
  18. Steeda's S550 Billet Rear Shock Mounts Are Finally Here!

    Yeah, I had difficulty getting the top nut torqued but it is threaded on fine. I snugged it up with a ring spanner and applied blue loctite. Since it only calls for 22 ft/lbs I'm not worried about it loosening. I figure it will make a bunch of noise if it does. I saw the video you are referring...
  19. GT350 w/ CCW Classics

    They're a great wheel but not my cup of tea on a GT350. The body lines and materials used on the 350 exterior are too modern to pull this one off, just my opinion though. I think some of the other wheels in the CCW line up would look better (e.g. C14, and less so, C10).
