  1. Opinions from motorcycle owners

    TLDR. Those of you who own a motorcycle and the Mustang, do you find yourself riding the bike less or appreciating it more? Long version. I'll start by saying I know this is only a decision I can ultimately make, but I want opinions from those who own both. My insurance is totaling my car...
  2. Well, at the ripe age of 30, I had my first accident

    In traffic on a 4 lane highway, it was recently snowing so everything is wet and frosted. The person on my left decided to, what I'm assuming is, accelerate to try to get infront of me. They ended up swerving right into me so I swerved to the right to dodge. The back end spun out, and it took...
  3. how to deal with etched in water spots

    The entire roof is covered with them. Either I never noticed them before because the lighting needs to be perfect, it happened today when I washed it (it was badly needed due to reason 3), or it was all the storms followed by sunlight combined with every wax "beading" water causing it to just...
  4. Friendly reminder not to overly rely on traction control.

    Seriously, especially to those that daily the car (like me). This isn't to debate the usefulness of TC or start a nani war. I have winter performance tires that keep the rear end in line even in several inches of snow. I'm driving home this morning and there's sleet on the roads. These tires +...
  5. Which headlight is installed properly?

    I've been living with it but it's getting to the point where I wanna fix it but I'm not sure which way is right. Anyone know? The driver side headlight is slightly indented from the bumper. The passenger side is flush with the bumper
  6. So the Focus RS is pretty quick...

    On my way home, around 1 am, I figured I'd data log a third gear pull on the expressway. The on ramp I take is a long two lane that merges into one and transitions onto the expressway way without any sharp turns, so it's perfect to stretch the legs a bit. Not to mention there's barely a soul...
  7. Some interesting changes to the 2021 F-150 Coyote - 5w30 oil viscosity and smaller sump

    It's now apparently spec'd for 5w30 and has a smaller sump. It also is coming with my favorite (sarcasm) piece of tech, cylinder deactivation. I haven't seen this posted yet so I apologize if it has been. Here's a link to where I saw it, which has a link to the spec sheet...
  8. Anyone else notice... (in regards to wheel hop)

    I see wheel hop pop up quite a bit and how had it is on the s550 and also how people don't have it. I was one of the "don't." If I spun my tires that was it. I didn't get any hopping. However, I recently had traction control on (I usually keep advanced traction control off because, assuming...
  9. Carbon trap and MAF readings

    I've read some people say that removing this thing affects the MAF readings which would imply it would need a tune. I'm aware that Mustangs in other countries do not have it, but those cars also have different headers (unless I'm mistaken) which means they're also probably running a different...
  10. Exhaust clamp tightness (borla s)

    Alright so I installed this a few weeks ago and recently noticed a leak. I went down to tighten the clamps but got to thinking of how tight these should be. I always had a buddy say "tighten until it just starts to distort," the instructions say 35 ft-lb or something, but that barely held...
  11. Borla S-type: anyone have pics of the carbon fiber and black carbon fiber tips?

    Going to pull the trigger but can't decide on the two. Normally I'd go with black by default but I can't tell if the aluminum and actual exhaust tip are also black anodized. The carbon fiber look with the stainless/aluminum contrast really seems to pop, which has appeal. I can't seem to find any...
  12. A couple quick questions regarding sync

    I can't seem to find these answers so I apologize if it's been answered elsewhere. On my 2019 Mustang GT (non premium) I have the base sync 4" screen. However, when I check the software versuon it says "SYNC 3 software version: 3.3.18016" everything I've read seems to state that, if I don't...
  13. Rapid ticking, idle, from HP pump

    This has been doing this from day one of the new engine and I've just ignored it but now curiouscur is getting to me. Basically, at idle and at any temp, the HP/GDI pump makes a rapid ticking sound that doesn't change with rpm. I pinpointed it with a stethoscope. It's not constant, either...
  14. Question about this ceramic coat "deal"

    I just had some guy approach me on my lunch break (I was in my car) and ask if I could sponsor his shop because I have the only velocity blue he's seen. I looked up the shop and it seems reputable (reviews, fb, pics), but my question is about the deal offered. He's basically giving me 50% off...
  15. Does the MGW shifter help with the gear clash?

    I haven't had any gear lockout, but the clash can be absolutely brutal unless I granny shift into gear. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth when I'm shifting quickly. Other than the clash, I actually don't have any issues with the stick. My old Mustang had an MGW and I loved it, so I know I won't...
  16. 1000 miles with new engine update

    Not sure where this belongs, but considering all the warrantied engine swaps are discussed here I'll throw it in this section unless mods deem otherwise. So a quick update. I took my car in for some excessive noise, was told it was normal, fought it, and was given authorization for a new short...
  17. After a couple of days of severe cold (down to -30° F ambient)....

    I can say these michelin PS 4s are in one piece! No I did not drive the car, but it was kept in an unheated garage that was opened a few times. I was having mini panic attacks thinking these would crack wide open after reading that these tires shouldn't even be kept at anything below 20° F. But...
  18. Camshaft journal damage. How?

    This keeps bugging me. Some of you already know that I got a factory longblock replacement on my 2019 GT. The damage that was found was on one camshaft, and on the exhaust side for one valve. One of the journals was scored down pretty bad, and there was also some associating damage. They also...
  19. So, pedal size....

    Weird question but maybe someone knows. I spent probably too much money on the bullitt pedals for my older sn95 years ago and noticed that the pedals on my 2019 look almost identical. It would definitely be nice if I could take those expensive pedals and swap them over! Does anyone know if this...
