  1. Aluminum Transmission pan w drain hole or plug???

    As these projects go, and being a complete noob, I hit some delays and the car is still on stands. I haven't resealed the trans pan yet. Just have the valvebody bolted back in. Almost done with custom cooler lines - turns out PTFE wouldnt fit(too long) and I'm switching to 2x 4-8 inches of CPE...
  2. Help with Lowering Springs/Struts/Shocks/Alignment

    I lowered mine on FP magneride springs, but it should be the same or similar drop as you. First, buy this steeda rear camber adjustment kit - you and your alignment tech will thank me. It's on sale for under $150. Then, you will need to find a performance shop that can align...
  3. Virginia GT500 Magneride Struts and shocks

    According to what I've heard from others who have access to unreleased data regarding voltage provided relational to damping force, it is about 200% increased damping force compared to PP1/PP2 or maybe certain model GT350 dampers at same voltage. Iirc, the dampers in your Mach1(base or HP)...
  4. Aluminum Transmission pan w drain hole or plug???

    I couldn’t get the drain plug bolt off so I had my local mechanic use his special tool. 10 minutes and $35 later, the overtorqued drain bolt is now removable lol. Here are my results on 10r80 trans temp and fluid level. 10r80 fluid temp: 175F Fluid level: 5.5, it’s on the diamond between 5...
  5. Virginia GT500 Magneride Struts and shocks

    I have these on my PP1 GT equipped with OEM/factory magneride and can confirm they do work plug and play. Awesome deal, good luck with sale!
  6. My Review of Wengerd Performance Tuning

    I'll share my experience with Wengerd tuning here as well. My main priority with a tune was to make the transmssion shifting smoother, extra horsepower with 91, E85 or flex fuel was just the cherry on top. Wengerd's first tune made the shifting smoother, but after driving for a while I still...
  7. Mach1 or PP2?

    There seems to be very limited information and experiences with the Steeda tuned DSC Sport Controller. As someone on GT500/Mach1 magneride dampers + FP springs on PP1 MR controller, I'm very interested to hear more about it if you could share.
  8. Aluminum Transmission pan w drain hole or plug???

    Hey guys, I have a 10r80 cooling project underway(Internal Bypass + External 165F thermo) and the first thing I need to do is to get this engineering nightmare of a fill plug/bolt undone... I am working from beneath the car with a flex head ratchet and 19mm socket, also tried using a jack...
  9. GT500 engine + DcT in a GT350 doable?

    I gotta glaze you here big dawg, your work is truly inspirational. I’ve dreamt of the possibilities had ford gone with the ZF8… Cherry on top is that you’re on the up and up with Akiaura - I’ve been listening to deathwish on repeat since release last week.
  10. Aftermarket 10r80 Transmission Cooler Issues?

    Hi, I'll provide an update on my situation and I'll try to answer yours. 1. As an update on my trans situation: Wengerd provided tune/shift revisions and now my 10r80 is much smoother. The car drives how I expected it to and how it should have from factory. 10/10 highly reccomend Wengerd for...
  11. 10-Speed Automatic Transmission (10R80)

    I find it strange that my 2018 Factory trans(2017 Build) had minimal whine, but my mid 2023 replacement trans has a very audible whine.
  12. Aftermarket 10r80 Transmission Cooler Issues?

    I had a replacement 10r80 under ford warranty in mid 2022, and it is generally much more tolerable than the original trans though. I am tuned by Wengerd. He's been great so far, and provided a tune revision, but there is still much to be desired in trans comfort when daily driving. I still...
  13. Aftermarket 10r80 Transmission Cooler Issues?

    Hey Tanner, curious if you ever got this sorted? I have the same 15-17 10r60 mishimoto trans cooler and even after tuning, the trans isn't very smooth or consistent. I'm beginning to wonder if it is the mishi trans cooler causing drivability issues.
  14. New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

    I've had 19x10 square set of Gloss Black LMR SP2 for nearly 30K miles, driving on horrid SF bay area roads and over a dozen track days. I put them on in early 2022, and they have performed flawlessly thus far for me. It seems you're having very bad luck with this car/wheels combo in particular...
  15. Magnaride

    Just want to close this one out and let everyone know that I ended up needing to install the steeda rear camber alignment kit. Went to a different shop who got it done right. Rear was just not aligned properly initally. As for the M-5300-W Springs and GT500 dampers - I'm used to the ride...
  16. One wheel sticking out more than the other after coil over install?

    It's true, I called 5x "performance shops" for alignment and each of them told me it would be a very difficult adjustment for rear camber, and would charge me double what a normal 4 wheel would cost. They were right that it is difficult from factory to adjust rear alignment on these cars, and...
  17. One wheel sticking out more than the other after coil over install?

    On a lowered car, I would reccomend these steeda rear camber adjustment kit. Please also try to go to a vetted performance alignment shop. Honestly, it's worth every penny in time, energy and money saved...
  18. One wheel sticking out more than the other after coil over install?

    Seems like you've already gotten plenty of help from these fine people, but I wanted to confirm and chime in that I had experienced the same problem on my rear after installing new dampers and lowering springs. I took it into a shop for alignment and they said it was aligned right and it was a...

  20. New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

    We have similar drop I think at .75 inch(20mm), but yes I have more camber(-2.3F, -1.7R). I bought SKF front wheel bearings that I've been planning on putting on the car and pressing in .5 inch(12.7mm) extended ARP studs with 14mm Cortex spacers. That should put me very close to flush but not...
