Probably the Ford VCT issue. Mine was like that occasionally and then it would start dying on me when I stopped at a light or at you know... 80mph when the car shifted gears. New engine was direct from Ford but it was a refurb so my guess was they bought the car back and fixed the VCT's and...
Definitely nimbler and more maneuverable than the Mustang. And a lot slower. :) I doubt it will ever be a 10 second car but that may be the better option for me! I couldn't drive the Mustang like I do the GR to be honest. I go through a shit ton less gas and my tires should last longer than...
I would like to blame it on Ford but it was probably for the best. I don't know how I killed cylinder 6 but those headers with no cats probably had a hand in it :) Seriously though, that car screamed for attention and my foot only had on/off when it came to the go pedal. The automatic just...
Stymee should be proud of this thread :) I don't have a Mustang any longer, but I still come back to lurk more than a normal person would admit!
Just an update that doesn't belong here or anywhere else for that matter... I'm about to spend what two Roush kits and installation would cost on...
I do not recommend using the AE or having those valves closed at all. Even if you don't have cat's I don't think it's good for the car. Mine had 0 issues for the longest time but when I had to replace the engine, the AE caused all sorts of issues. There were other things going on but when the...
I tend to agree and hope the V8 sticks around in the Mustang for the life of the brand (it's not just a car anymore :P). I also hope Ford fixes their VCT/Cam Phaser issues before then as well. Being the only American muscle car with a V8 should help sales too. (No one buys a Corvette unless...
I owned a 2018 A10 with a Roush P2 kit. Other than it was during the first year the blower was available, the car was always at the shop for something (under warranty). Not necessarily the blower's fault but at 7,000 miles it melted the cats and spent a month there. Traded it at 14,000 miles...
yes, but discount tire will forget about them and they are much easier to put the front ones in when the wheels are off the car. Rear ones are no trouble with them on the car. Front can be a PITA so do it while they are off.
Also... Don't use Discount Tire. If they can't follow simple...
If I would have kept my extra 5 cylinders, I would probably be PM'ing you right now to see if you had any recommendations. I have TBH though, there are two shops in my area willing to tune for E54 with just a BAP on the Roush Kit, two years ago I would have said hell no... And did... Pretty...
Dude... I am staying in this thread to live my Roush 2650 dreams through you. Let's see what this can do on the strip! That's amazing! Are you still stock internals, etc? I assume you are but I may be wrong. I hit the lottery with mine... Twice... Been posting on this thread since the...
Yessir on both points. The sig definitely needs an updating because I'll still be lurking around.
The Mustang (Snot Rocket) was fast as fuck and got constant attention because of the green, but it was also getting on my nerves after the engine replacement. Not to mention my 13 year old could...
Mine was deactivating the VVT for both banks of cylinders.. Does that count? It didn't help my MPG though. What a pain in the ass diagnosing that was when I was on my 3rd set of melted cats and a new engine. The VCT's that ford uses have been shitty since 2011 and that resulted in me...
Minor update. Got tired of the constant CEL's after a new engine was put in by FORD. Thought it was cats failing again but it was a PITA to diagnose WTF was going on with the inconsistent error codes. Dealer loaded Roush tune back on and that was a bad idea. Now that I know aftermarket...
I love that color. I don't ride (I WOULD kill myself) but damn, I would rock that color until I fell off. I almost bought a 2017 GT in the Crimson color. I probably should have though because I would still own it :)
If it was not a car (I agree with your comment in regards to the C8, it has a lot of horizontal lines which make it look SOOOOO much worse), I would tell you there is nothing wrong with a little of cushion for the pushin... You just can't let your friends see you really get on it.
My story...
Hey now.... I did fly off an onramp backwards in the mustang at 90 when the 10spd shifted on the MP4's.... They were not safe with my level of HP. If there would have been traffic on the I-40 when I coasted back onto it (still backwards) and stopped perpendicular across 3 lanes. That...
What gave it away?
In all honesty, this Corolla (2nd one) is the *first* car that I have bought without drinking a few beers before going to the dealer. It's also the first car I've bought without getting high too.
Don't get me wrong, the Mustang was fast as fuck. Fickle as fuck too. The...
Welp... I no longer own a Mustang. I traded my 2019 GT in Need For Green with a Roush P2, headers, tune, etc for a Corolla. :). If you've read any of my posts you may remember me saying it was going to eventually happen and it did. I went from an 8 cylinder with 800hp (crank) to a 3 cylinder...
Is this possible on a 2019 GT? I have the latest Extended version of Forscan and the option isn't there to disable it. What do I need to do to enable the option?
