Excellent! Been watching this build, it just looks awesome. I not sure I'll ever be able to convince myself to add forced induction.....that said I really like your setup.
What did you change in pushing above 170 - did you add more boost? A tire change would likely help as well. Were there...
I did mine using a set of ramps under the front tires. You just need to get the front up enough to get under it safely. You'll be working up into the tunnel a lot, so higher is not really your frie.
I really don't get it. They spend a lot of time talking about how they like the way it drives, and even more time talking down about Mustangs, and the lack of sophistication in some of the features (use of plastic and such). "Remember it is just a Mustang" - Then they get out of a loaned car...
I just finished installing all those BMR parts (if you stayed with the list on the previous page) and I think you will be more than happy with the result! I also added the FPP bearings for the knuckle where the toe-in bar attaches. I couldn't be happier with feel of the car now. She hooks up...
Not really today, but I did finally get to drive it between the weather. I finished installing the BMR cradle lockout, toe-in links, vertical links, LCA Bearing replacement, and FP Toe-in Bearing replacement. Got a 4 wheel alignment, and she is back on the road.
Great write-up Epiphany! Vibration management/control is very challenging. I work for a company that builds some extremely vibration sensitive equipment. Tolerance control, mass damping, creating impedance mismatches......it is a pretty complex engineering game. I could see that any...
I'm sure MGW killed the issue with the isolation they added. I was just wondering why some car vibrate and some don't. What drives that, and it there a way (or reason) to fix the vibration at the source.
I got a chance to drive the 350 today between the storms, and focused a lot on vibration through the shifter. I have a Gen 1 MGW installed. I looked for any sign of vibration that would cause me to order the "upgrade" kit. Funny thing was - there was zero vibration at any RPM, the parking...
The stock shifter is not really bad, but I would call it soft. The mechanism pivots on a nylon type ball and sleeve, and the multi piece linkage snakes around with rubber isolator that add more compliance. Grab the shifer when it is in gear and how much you move it around. That is the soft I...
Well, I bought my GT350 in early April of 2016. Today, nearly 10 months later.....I received my Supplement. Don't get me wrong, I love the model of the FPC and the other swag, but I think I win the award for having to wait the longest to get mine.
Thank you Ford, I appreciate the stuff. I...
Upgraded SYNC 3 to version 2.2, and replaced the USB so I can used CarPlay. I also ordered and received a bunch of BMR goodies to install on the IRS......but that is for next weekend.
Been a while since I opened this thread. Awesome work Voodoo - the information and photo's you shared are really helpful! Can't wait to see the finished product.
The stock shifter is very good, and I can't think of any reason for more difficult shifting at higher RPMs. There is a tendency for the driver tense a bit when pushing it, and I've seen folks (myself included) just miss the shift, not hit the gate, simply blow it......but sounds like you locked...
