To those of you that sold your S550 what do you think about the ownership experience in hindsight? What do you think about Ford? Do you plan to own another one some day?
If you want to do a custom grill, buying this might save you a ton of time. I sold my car before completing my project, so my starting point is up for sale.
I bought this grill to do something like Noir5.0 did in this thread...
Taken off my 15 GT before sale. Used for a little over a year, looks nearly new.
Did a pretty good job collecting blowby and vapors. When I went by the recommended oil change interval it was usually 2/3rds full at service. Easy install. $120 shipped.
100% correct, this is basic front engine, RWD vehicle dynamics. A 140hp miata with an open diff will do the exact same thing in this situation. One can also use this effect to settle the car down when needed.
From the factory the car is compliant but it is tight enough to be predictable...
I used to do the same kind of driving you do. It teaches you to be really smooth with power application or you have a bad time.
I've read a number of your posts and really respect your opinion but in this case I find myself completely disagreeing your cause analysis. Gyroscopes do not offer any...
So these S550 Mustangs in factory configuration are incredibly safe cars. This didn't happen by accident, there is a huge amount of engineering that has gone into the structure of the front end to minimize collision loads on the occupants and to prevent structure from penetrating into the...
I installed a JLT 3.0 on the passenger side a little while ago. It really goes to show you how volatile your oil is.
One thing that I do not think was said here is that oil vapor will lower the octane of the intake charge. Instantly. This can result in timing being pulled, especially with...
I have started putting some of TheLion's advice into practice.
To begin, I began with:
> 15' GT with PP2 already installed
> AZ 91 octane terrible gas
> Have owned it for 4500 miles
> Ping city when getting on the power at 3,000rpm. Usually about a second of pings. Smooth power delivery while...
Whoever at Top Gear wrote that is on drugs. Torsens have been a premium factory option on many street sports cars for over three decades now. Before Audi started cutting costs, they were used as the center differential in their AWD cars. They provide instant performance and are extremely...
I like my newly installed ACT Street HD Twin Disk. It does not have sprung hubs but is very streetable. Set me back $1100 from Summit.
I did a review here:

I'd let it settle a bit more. You might have transferred a little clutch disk material onto the adjacent friction surfaces and it might take a couple hundred normal clutch engagements to wear away. I hope everything works out for you.
You think that is bad advice because...? I'm going to guess because of that vendor that sells replacement springs.
So I am going to go crazy here, I am going to say the emperor is not wearing clothes.
1 .Many new Mustang owners have found that taking out the stock OE spring will give you...
Glad to hear it loosens up with use, I've been really hoping I have that to look forward to.
Thanks for pointing out the vibration in the shifter. I have that too but completely forgot about it, it's very easy to adjust to.
Mine looks like the OPs car but worse. Never leaves a spot though so I am not super worried about it. I'll be harassing the dealer about it before my powertrain warranty expires.
I'm in a 15 so I think we are talking apples to apples.
I just tried pulling my pedal up from its rest position. It has a little less than 1/4" inch of freeplay but let's call it 1/4".
Yes sorry, I do mean the diaphragm fingers
Its purpose may be to take the inconsequential weight of the pedal off the MC plunger or it may be to eliminate freeplay in the pedal giving a diver a higher perception of the vehicle's quality. Where is it established that it's intended function is to lift the clutch pedal off the plunger?
I...
LIGHTNING350 quantified better than I could so I will say no more there.
My personal opinion is that the clutch spring has zero to do with TOB longevity. I had my transmission out last month. Please consider the following:
1. The TOB/slave assembly has an internal spring that holds it with...
A better option is just take the factory spring out if you want to try something different. No sense giving Steeda money for something you can do for free.
