The fiance and I are going on a honeymoon to Europe this summer and I'm trying to work out driving the Autobahn just to experience it once. I understand it's not a "drive as fast as you want" free-for-all but I would like to drive it just once in my lifetime. Since we are going to be in Berlin...
Hey Guys,
I installed my RPI Designs splash guards about a week ago. I really didn't want to run splash guards, but I also didn't want to apply stoneguard to the entire side of the car. I noticed a lot of rock chips even at only about 1000 miles so I figured I would compromise and get these to...
Here is a video compilation of some drag runs I did this past weekend. My times weren't great, but this is the first time I've really pushed this car. I had a really hard time nailing a launch, but I found on my last run actually spinning the tires a bit in the burnout box helped my 60ft by...
I saw a couple threads on this but haven't seen an answer, has anyone figured out how to "pull down" the glovebox to get to the cabin air filter? I don't need to change mine yet but I need to run some wires in that area for an EQ I'm installing (You'll see later)...
I did find out how to do it...
One thing I noticed with the Mustang that I so sorely missed about my old coupes is the side window design. Because you aren't sitting behind where the driver/passenger window ends like you do in most 4 door vehicles (unless your seat is all the way back), you can have the window all the way...
I recently put on some wider front tires (275/40R19) and I noticed they do stick out more than the factory 235's. Granted, I was concerned about rock rash with even the factory wheels, but now with summer tires, I seem to hear a constant barrage of small rocks hitting something...not sure if it...
Hey guys,
I plan to install a Clarion EQS746 (or equivalent) 7 band equalizer between the head unit and amp to clean up the clarity and EQ on the speakers - they are about 70% to where I want them to be. I need to make a decision on sound staging as I don't want to spend the extra money on a...
Anyone else find it incredibly annoying washing your car in car wash with the key in your pocket? My lights keep illuminating over and over and over as I move around the car. My solution was to leave the key in the car, but I always forget at first. Silly technology.
I finally took a peek at installation opportunities on my 400A Mustang. I'm pretty sure this will all apply to 401A (Shaker Pro) as I believe the run the same front amp for the speakers, and a supplementary amp for the subwoofer which is separate from this particular install. This is just one...
Hey guys and gals, I came across a video today showing how to do a basic speaker swap on the base stereo (doesn't shot the tweeters though). I just thought this would be a nice handy guide for those looking at how to remove panels and whatnot.
Yes this is in addition to a couple of the build...
How necessary would you guys think an alignment is when using 2 different sets of tires/wheels? I understand camber, toe, etc for suspension and how they affect the tire geometry, but if my winter setup 235/50R18 on the stock 18's and the summer setup is 275/40R19, would there be enough of a...
I am only about 350kms on the odometer and I already have scratches on the top of the rear bumper from the trunk lid rubbing. I've adjusted the rubber stoppers to increase the gap, but it seems the center is still pulled down too far. I'm going to see if I can adjust the striker where the trunk...
So I'm not at all disappointed about all the stares I get in my new GT (there aren't many on the road here yet), but I have noticed I do get annoyed at the gawkers that slow down to look at your car, blocking your exit or turn when you have somewhere to go lol. Just like people that rubberneck...
I will start off by saying I'm not a noob to the car world, vehicular physics, racing, etc. I have owned quite a few various forms of "performance" vehicles - 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo, 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS (turbo), 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, Ford Probe GT. I've also driven quite a few...
FYI for Canada, 0% financing was due to end this morning, but after doing a build and price, it looks to be continued until the end of June.
All my whining that I was going to miss out on it when taking delivery, and it was extended anyhow!
So to anyone with one on order, keep this in mind...
I came across an article (finally) stating the roadholding ability of the base GT suspension and tires:
http://www.caranddriver.com/ford/mustang
They found that the base suspension and base 18" all season P-Zero Nero's only pull a 0.83g 300ft skidpad vs 0.95 for the performance package. I know...
Although I have seen a method or two on how to find your dealer code (other than asking them), they don't work specifically for Canada. This method will allow you to find your dealer code for both Canada and the USA (depending which site you use - ford.ca or ford.com).
When you go to "explore...
