  1. Is the Mach 1 the new 500a?

    In 2015, the 50 Years Limited Edition had the trim level 500a. In 2019-20, the 500a was the Bullitt. Is the Mach 1 now the 500a, or does it have a different trim level code, or none, or what?
  2. Headers: 1-3/4 or 1-7/8; differences?

    (Apologies if this has been discussed before; it probably has, and I did try to search, but couldn’t quickly/easily find anything, probably because of the numbers.) For an NA build, is it better to use 1-3/4” or 1-7/8” headers, or even 2” headers? What are the effects on low- and mid-range...
  3. JJR512 2015 50 Years Limited Edition

    I bought my 2015 50 Years LE in April, 2019, with 50k miles. For those unfamiliar with the 50 Years LE, first of all, this is not the same thing as the 50th Anniversary Appearance Package. The 50 Years LE was trim level 500a, and available in only Wimbledon White or Kona Blue. The interiors of...
  4. Of headers, E85, & emissions

    I think you can tell from the thread title where this is going. I’d LIKE to add headers and an E85 tune to my car (in addition to an 18 ported manifold, closed-box CAI, and catback, and I realize I’ll need injectors for the E85). But I have to be able to pass emissions inspections, without...
  5. Stainless braided fuel lines

    I’m just curious about something. Braided stainless steel fuel lines used to be a thing. It seems they aren’t anymore, at least for newer cars...or at least for the S550. Why is that? I mean, why were (and still are) made for older cars, but not new ones? And this is just idle curiosity...
  6. Stripes: paint or vinyl

    I realize that to some, perhaps many of you, the idea of painting stripes on your car is sacrilegious. Some of you have less than ten miles on your car and you keep it wrapped in bubble wrap. I bought my car used with 50k on it, it's now almost 59k. The original owner had holes drilled in the...
  7. Replacement wheels

    Where can I find replacement 50 Years LE wheels? Either OE or aftermarket if there is such a thing.
  8. I want stripes like these...

    For awhile, I've wanted to get blue stripes on my car, a 50 Years LE in Wimbledon White. The inspiration was the original GT350, but the new GT350 Heritage edition shows color combination still looks good on S550s. The color is apparently called Guardsman Blue. I haven't been able to find...
  9. E85 first timer

    I'm considering E85 but know very little, so I'm looking for some advice. I was told that a flex tune is what I want if I'm worried about realizing I'm low on fuel in an area that doesn't have E85. And that with one, I can run any blend of E85 and 93 and the car will learn and adapt. Do I...
  10. GT350 center gauges in GT PP

    I know it's possible to swap the GT350 center gauges (oil temperature and pressure) into the same place in a GT PP. It's a plug and play swap. Many people here have done it. But these gauges don't work with MyColor. I wonder if it might be possible to disassemble both gauge clusters, and remove...
  11. Opinions on dress up ideas

    I have a 50 Years Limited Edition. It's Wimbledon White (WW). I'm thinking of doing some engine dress up. My idea so far is to get painted coil covers from RPI in WW with red for the lettering and lines. Also an engine cover with the main parts (the silver parts) painted WW, with red in the...
  12. When is a bigger throttle body necessary?

    A lot of people talk about manifolds and CAIs, but I see less talk about throttle bodies. CAIs have larger-diameter tubes from the air box to the TB. But what I don't understand is how can extra airflow through the intake is useful when it seems like the much smaller opening of the stock TB is a...
  13. Is high temp paint necessary on coil covers?

    As the title says, I’d like to know if high temp paint is required for the coil covers, or if it’s ok to use regular body paint. (Also for the plastic engine cover.) If I have to use high temp paint, is it possible to get custom colors, or am I limited to whatever is made?
  14. HPS or Mishimoto coolant hoses

    Mishimoto has an upper hose, lower hose kit, and ancillary hose kit. Between the three products there are eight hoses, plus (in the lower hose kit) a polished fitting described as an "aluminum diverter pipe to facilitate the oil cooler". Not sure exactly what that means. The hoses are described...
  15. Coil and engine cover painting ideas

    I have a 2015 50 Years LE in Wimbledon White. I have an idea for painting the coil and engine covers and would like to know what you think, and also how to do it. I'm thinking of painting the coil covers in WW, and also the metal-colored part of the engine cover. I'm thinking of leaving the...
  16. Shift boot

    I’d like to replace my shift boot with one in the same color as the cream leather. I’m having trouble finding a leather shop that can match the color and texture. Do any of you know the exact color name of this leather? Even better, do you know what Ford used, or even who supplied it?
  17. New owner of 1523

    Hello! My name is Justin. This is my first post here. I recently bought #1523. It's a Wimbledon White manual. I got it on March 11. I searched here for "1523" and found one result, a comment in a thread about mileages. It was made by someone who said he bought it new with six miles from a...
