So like many of you I changed my own oil and filter on my 2018 Mustang. Despite having several oil filter wrenches in my garage I did not have the 14 flute type. With the space available my strap wrench was not very effective.
So I went with hand tight and about 1/8th with the strap wrench...
It might be my imagination, but I swear the engine feels more torquey and better for suburban driving in quiet mode. There's really no way to prove it without extensive testing equipment. The back pressure myth lives!
$6000 in StL, MO area. Decided to go a different direction. Kit is completely unopened even the security tape is still intact. P1x for efficiency. Black intercooler so it doesn't show through the grill. Helical gears for quiet (stealthy) operation-

Something to consider the convertible top and mechanisms are not covered by any of the extended service plans. I pretty much decided to buy the Premium 8yr/100k but now debating if the coverage is still worth it to me.
Read it in the fine print here...
I have a new P1-X kit sitting in my basement since December. I bought during Holiday sales. The reason it's in the basement is the weather still hasn't allowed me to put my current 460hp to the ground below 70mph, to say nothing of 700+ hp. That with 275 MP4S rubber, 10R80. I have a 10" square...
I'm starting to crawl under the car to get ready for rear spring and Steeda IRS subframe bushing install and notice I have extra bracing not shown in any of the install videos. There are no instructions included on what to do. Is it as simple as removing the braces prior to the rest of the...
Does anyone know, are the physical keys inside the keyless fob universal for the glove box locks? I want an extra glove box key and dont know if I can just buy a used fob for the key.
My criteria is: Reliability, Streetability, Power, and Cost Effectiveness in that order. I'd like to keep my car relatively quiet with Active Exhaust, so I prefer to keep my cats or maybe go with the MF resonator.
I'm focusing on a Centri due to powerband, weight, strut tower brace, and ease of...
I was driving my 18 PP1 GT with Safety Package through light snow and near freezing conditions. About 20 minutes into the drive I get a dash warning that forward collision sensor was blocked- warning system disabled. I was driving back from the shop that had just installed PPF so I'm wondering...
There are many complaints about paint quality, easily chipped. To be honest, I've read the same complaint in most every car forum save Lexus so this isnt a Ford bashing post.
My question is this...my car has taken a couple of hits on the highway with no scratch or chip. Ive read in another...
I'm looking for dyno data as close to stock as possible for a 2018+ GT. Not just a graph or peak numbers but HP and TQ by RPM in 100 rpm increments.
Anyone know where I could get that? I can interpolate off a chart if need be but would rather have a data file.
I have an appointment set for BMR minimum drop springs for my 18 GT PP1 Vert. It's a semi-daily street car with occasional aggressive back roads and highway ramps. I'm on 19x10's with 275/40 MP4S all around.
What else makes sense to do while it's on the rack? I'm thinking BMR CB010 and...
Hi, I'm in a graduate program (towards a semi-retirement college professor goal) and have an assignment that I thought was perfect for the car forum I'm most involved with since I own a Mustang. I am asking for at least 3 people to answer these questions please:
1) What you do for a living...
This conversation started in another thread but I don't want to derail it there. Let's face it, manuals are only used in lower forms of motorsports these days. I'm interested in development of the 10R80 for road course track use.
Ford made many comparisons to Porsche's PDK and used it as a...
So far so good, my first ever car rotor/pad replacement but I have a question. I've changed dozens of superbike motorcycle pads/rotors.
The low dust pads I bought, Powerstop Z23 have a backer on the pad. But, it's a slightly different shape than the stock pad back plate.
Please refer to this...
In a major metro area...all on Tireracks list of recommended installers.
The only thing I ask is do you feel comfortable changing tires without scratching the rims. Explain I'm willing to pay extra for the extra care.
First place said outright no.
Second place claimed all kinds of expertise...
Most likely Project 6GR Seven's:
19x10 275/40/19 Buy 2 takeoff (<100mi) MP4S to match the 2 that came on my new car
-or-
20x10 285/35/20 Firestone Indy 500
Pros/Cons/Tradeoffs? This is a (sometimes) aggressive street driven PP1 equipped Vert GT so no track days. I already have a set of...
