I pre-ordered one last month. Price seems like a bargain compared to the ones advertised for $500 (or more) plus sending in your own steering wheel. Sold the GT350R wheel I bought a few months back. Kept the bezels though. Felt like the alcantara portion would become ratty looking quite...

Pretty much the same technique here. Got a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protegé that I bought with 6,000 miles on it back in 2004. It now has approximately 128,000 miles on it with the original clutch. Never learned to heel toe or rev match.

50mph in 4th gear@2500rpm driving home from work today in a Mustang EcoBoost base model with 3.31 gear ratio. There is the difference.

You'll more than likely never be in 5th or 6th gear driving around town or in the city. The only time I use 5th or 6th gear is on the highway. If the highway is relatively crowded then you'll more than likely be in 5th gear during most of your drive. 6th gear is really an overdrive...

Unfortunately, I cannot comment from personal experience. Forgive me for possibly committing sacrilege x3: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/2014-2016-mazda-3-skyactiv-wheels-tires/53850-ohtsu-fp8000-tire-review.html . . . the Mazdaspeed 3 is the origin of the EcoBoost Mustang engine...

Personally, I'd go with the LMR option due to the overall cost and convenience. Call me cheap but you are literally paying for the cost of the tires and rims (plus the slight retail markup) with LMR. You figure 4 tpms sensors, mounting, balancing and sales tax would add a couple hundred more...

It's not that hard nor expensive to do it. Bought a set from the UK for just under $800. They arrived in under a week. [ame]

I'd recommend getting a Steeda spring or a Steeda spring & perch combination. Sounds like your clutch isn't disengaging completely due to the missing spring.

You may want to try the socket method. Just hammer a slightly smaller diameter socket over the lug nut so that it digs into it enough to remove it. Using any other method to remove the lug nuts will probably damage your wheels.

I feel exactly the same way (after approximately 90 days of ownership). I'd never knock any I4, V6 or V8 Mustang owner. But, the overall cost of owning a GT is a bit too much for my overall budget. If your Mustang is a daily driver then you have to factor in the cost of gas as well...

More than likely they'll deny any & all warranty work on the engine if they discover that tune unfortunately.

There is your answer. It just made more sense to me to get the EB for a daily driver and the modding potential now and in the near future. I prefer the power of it off of the line versus its' actual top speed which I will never discover on purpose. :D Top end is great for the track or those...

You make a fair point. :) In general, I just wonder about the purpose of knocking someone's vehicle purchasing decision(s). Some folks need very little material wise to be happy & satisfied while some folks need a lot material wise to have the same effect. I'd be more than happy to get my...

I do respect your opinion. But, I've never purchased a vehicle based on its' resale value. I always purchase a vehicle with the intent to drive it until it is no longer economically feasible to keep operating it. The last time I purchased a vehicle was in 2004. I've had the 2003...

Brilliant observation speedfrk! I truly believe in purchasing a vehicle that satisfies your desires, needs and budget. I stopped following the keeping up with the Joneses economic bandwagon after I graduated from high school out of necessity at first. (Needed any extra money to finish...

The euro taillights are plug and play for the most part. Ordered a set from the UK for just under $800. They arrived at my doorstep in under a week. I plan to "borrow" the connector plug/harness from a sequential taillight kit. (Keeping my oem set completely intact.) [ame] Also, a big...

Don't sweat the ride...you get to enjoy another day. That is always a good thing. Took a hit in a great spot as bad as it sounds. I doubt it will be a total loss though. My guess is maybe $9000 in total repairs costs (parts & labor). Did his rear end swing out and clip you?

Cool...post the day & time if you don't mind another spectator.

Wow...outstanding! Thank you for reaffirming my decision to go with an EcoBoost. When is your next run!? I live about 20 minutes from there.

Actually, I live right next door to Sacramento now. (Atwater is/was home.) But, I would definitely recommend Razzari Ford/Mazda in Merced. Took my 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protégé for repairs there a few times. They actually found and fixed a vacuum leak that troubled me for a couple of years...
