  1. Strut tower brace & K brace.

    No, do not take off the K brace, 1. I think it would be a big job and, 2. I think it adds much needed front end tightness
  2. Strut tower brace & K brace.

    Yes all Australian Mustangs have the K brace. I fitted the stock Mustang GT Tower brace, I purchased from PJ Pony Parts when the A$ was stronger for less than half of the local asking price. I fitted it in 10 minutes, with some perfectly sized washers to lift it maybe 5 - 10mm for clearance...
  3. Mustang for Supercars next year

    If they are all going to look like the DJR Team Penske version then that is tragic. Of all of the versions to date that version looks the least like a Mustang. It looks like a cross between a Falcon of 10 years back and the current Mustang. Gawd damn awful! I understand that the real Mustang...
  4. Aircon stopped working

    The Shockworks get rid of that wallowing lurching lounge chair feel. It corners better way and less wheel spin on takeoff etc. They are 10 point adjustable. I have mine on 0 as recommended for normal street driving. Its also lowered 30mm which looks better and helps overall with a lower centre...
  5. Aircon stopped working

    Repairs all done, replaced condenser, it was leaking or not working or whatever and causing the belt to act up and make weird noises. It's working fine now with no odd noises. Fingers crossed. I had a demo 2017 GT as a loaner for two days and it was very surprising to notice the big difference...
  6. Aircon stopped working

    Well tragically I'm joining the faulty AC Club. Over the weekend the car was making a high pitched whining noise on start up and it would gradually disappear when everything warmed up after about a good 10 to 15 minutes driving. Then yesterday it suddenly stopped making said whinny noise...
  7. 18 Mustang GT 10 speed auto kick down question

    Cant you just use the paddles to drop down to first while hitting the gas at the same time, that will get you spinning down the road in first for 1 second before the engine limiter kicks in and cuts the engine. :like:
  8. Track day

    Beware of the oil cooler issue. There have been a couple of Mustangs cark it completely during a standard day of track exercises that the car should have gobbled up. It appears that it just overheats without any prior warning , shits itself and you then need your engine replaced. If you are...
  9. 2018 Modifications

    The offset is certainly a critical issue. I know I had selected one style of Ferrada wheels only having to change styles the next day due to the offset not being suitable. The rear tires where rubbing on the outside fenders on high speed bumps and road irregularities - not good. I also needed...
  10. Shockworks and Camber Plates

    Hi, Ride quality feels better than stock. I originally had it set at 4 (out of 0 to 10) and it was a bit firmer but still comfortable (a bit like a Porsche). I spoke to the owner of Shockworks and he said that for street driving (even spirited) conditions these coilovers were designed to be run...
  11. Shockworks and Camber Plates

    I have the Shockworks coilovers and they are fantastic. Did my research beforehand and all positive on them. If they're good enough for Mustang Motorsports Targa Mustang they'll do me. Mine were fitted by a Mustang Motorsport recommended shop and the car was lowered 30mm all round. I remember...
  12. DIY Whipple on a budget (of sorts).

    WOW, what a huge job and everything has to be done perfectly. Hat's off to you Burkey! Something I wouldn't have ever thought of attempting. I assume you have other wheels as the car has been in the workshop for some time now. I really hope it all works out as well as you wish. And just out of...
  13. What Upgrades/Mods are you going to do to your Mustang?

    I'm not sure where my tyres came from, I had the Ferrada wheel importer source them for me. All I know is it was a bit of a juggling act to get them; to fit the 20" rims, then the wheels to clear the internals; not rub the body work at the rear; and even with the stock offset (i.e. same as stock...
  14. What Upgrades/Mods are you going to do to your Mustang?

    I put 20" 275 and 305 on mine. I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and all I can say is that they are spectacular. The grip is incredible especially compared to those pieces of sh1t they called tyres that came standard. I had similar Michelin's on my M3 and they were also stellar...
  15. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Thanks, that is good to know. If mine ever goes I'll be hoping that they have run out of 2015 to 2017 V8's and I'll get the 2018 model V8. Which is exactly what happened when I had a significant and early engine issue with a new Porsche. They even express airfreighted the new and upgraded...
  16. Who is upgrading to a 2018

    Wow, that's been a real long time then, what the hell was wrong with it?
  17. Oil cooler failure - first hand experiences?

    Can I ask did you have your CAI and other engine mods still installed when Ford took the car in to replace the engine? Was there any mention by Ford of these modifications? Not that they would have effected the oil cooler one jot, I'm just curious Cheers, Phil
  18. Adding driving lights - The concept

    I agree that the lights as configured in the mock-up photo could be a problem, as the passenger side looks like it would affect airflow into the engine air intake. It is sensitive - I drilled out all the black honeycomb right in front of the intake and noticed an improvement in performance. I...
  19. Side mirrors - amount of retraction?

    Yeah, Ford didn't do a complete RHD conversion job. Mirrors, handbrake, smaller headers as a compromise for steering column, are a few items that immediately spring to mind. But there are more.
  20. DIY Whipple on a budget (of sorts).

    So Burkey, How goes this epic bit of DIY my friend? All power to you for attempting. Has it hit a bit of a snag or are you just needing a break from it for a while? All the best with it.
