Can someone clear up confusion on the vacuum aspirator (vacuum venturi valve) feeding the power brake booster and IMRC system? GT350 and Bullitt (both manual transmissions only) fed the brake booster with manifold vacuum (first image) but Mach 1 and GT manual transmission and automatic...
Hyundai'/Genesis OEM 19" spare tire for Brembo brake applications. Properly piloted on the rotor hub and mounted with extended shouldered lug nuts. I adapted this spare tire for my son's 2022 GT PP1 and I'm showing it installed on my Mach 1 to illustrate the brake clearance. Please note, the...
I installed a trailer hitch on my Mach 1 that interferes with the diffuser ducting between the differential oil cooler and charcoal canister. I'm considering deleting the EVAP system to make room for revised ducting but my Tuner no longer turns off EVAP codes. Are there any concerns of...
I ordered this set of Mach 1 Logo headlight side marker block-off overlays but I'm not going to use them since I switched to aftermarket headlights. Top quality 3M vinyl at half price, shipped free. (Within USA.) The last image of the reflective properties is the best I could capture on my...
I just received the GT350R Aluminum Strut Tower Brace Kit M-20201-GT350 and it includes two pieces, the aluminum strut tower brace and the steel cowl brace. I don't need the cowl brace so I'm offering it for $50. Local pick-up preferred but I could also ship.
Sound Tube Assembly, Factory Part Number JR3C-9P437-CD, carefully removed from a new 2022 Mustang GT w/10R80 and stored. $20 rescues it from the trash.
Other than the the sticker noting the torque spec and the supposed anti-vibration coating (Vibra-tite?) on the threads of the GT350 FL-2069-ST spin-on oil filter, are there any other differences from the common FL-500S filter? My local dealer had both filters in stock and we sure couldn't see...
A current posting on converting Coyote cooling system joints to AN connections took me down the rabbit hole of other possible "upgrades" but it doesn't seem like there are any serious issues with the latest Coyote cooling systems. (including the #8 cylinder head?) If and when I need to change...
I haven't been able to find a solution for checking or activating the factory differential oil cooler pump unless doing it through Forscan. Are there any ways to bypass the controls/programming just to see if the pump motor runs? I haven't tracked my Mach 1, yet, and I don't think I've ever...
If anyone is contemplating using Quik-Latch hood pins on a stock hood, there are three layers of aluminum to cut through, making the installation a complicated mess to do properly. (Now, no editorializing how the OEM latch is more than adequate on a stock hood, this is for the insecure and...
As I was reading lamenting comments about the hard-to-find and absurdly expensive GT500/ GT350 cartridge oil filters with the durable steel cores, I ran across Baxter's simple adapter to convert back to a conventional FL500S spin-on filter. (Supposedly, that tiny Motorcraft filter is arguably...
Reposting my son's 2022 Mustang GT PP1 suspension we removed after he took delivery of the car. I think it's fair to say he's not going back to stock so I'm freeing up some shelf space in my garage. Pick up in Novi, Michigan for $250 or best offer.
My son purchased a 2022 Mustang GT with the PP1 package and we lowered the car and made other mods within the first few hundred miles of use. This OEM suspension has been boxed since new (and wasting space on my garage) and won't ever be going back on the car so it's time to sell. Please...
I'm considering Stahlbus two-piece speed bleeders because the base fitting remains seated in the caliper while the moving bleeder screw seats into the fixed fitting, preventing wear in caliper from repetitive bleeding. The logic makes sense for aluminum calipers but is there any benefit over a...
Please educate me on why scatter shields are not used anymore and how boosted Coyote Mustangs and other modern cars on slicks (hard launches) are ripping down the drag strip in sub-10 second 1/4 mile times with no shields or blankets to contain clutch/flywheel shrapnel? Don't most track rules...
Saw a beautiful 2019 Convertible GT at Baker's Restaurant in Milford, Michigan but I couldn't track down the owner to find out more about the fixed rear calipers and parking brake provision. Does anyone recognize these calipers (or the car?) to shed more light on such a slick looking upgrade?
When shopping for any of the Shelby or Mach 1 bumper conversions offered by numerous sources, realize there is only one Chinese source making them for the vast majority of end retailers. 777 gets good reviews and has great customer support so my son ordered their Mach 1 bumper conversion for...
Just installed a set of Speed Engineering headers and 3" X-pipe system on my son's 2022 GT w/PP1. Like any header installation on an S550 Mustang, be patient and swear often. Remove all the customary obstacles and lower OEM exhaust manifold mounting studs etc. and have at it. (Having a lift...
I took the plunge to install the Draw-Tite hitch on my Mach 1 per comments from previous posts. The installation was simple enough but plan on spending some time and effort to properly tackle the modifications. Here are some more tips and images:
1.) The 90 degree mounting leg on each side...
