  1. HELP! My kid F*@&ed up my paint...

    What was the paint based on? Acrylic, ketone, nitro acryl? If it was acrylic, just hot water and soap it off with hand mitt
  2. Car Makes Noises While Parked

    Is yours 401-A or whatever latest code for premium pck is? Then it's the modem. These cars are only truly off when you pull the battery out. Edit and yes its is normal operation.
  3. Unequal Fuel TrimLevels Across Banks

    Hello there fellows. Car started to drive sluggish in low rpm range and hesitating on accelerating a few weeks ago. I checked belt, all vacuum lines, spark ignition and fuel system but couldn't find anything obvious. One thing I see in my forescan is the fuel trim levels and knock sensor values...
  4. Idle goes rough randomly. Stock tune..

    It's most likely your VVT solenoids. I have same exact issue, especially when running sport+ and track modes, car just rumbles randomly like its got comp cams... then goes to normal with minimal load and while driving.
  5. 5.0 2 to 3k rpm "clatter" everyone have it?

    Since day one. 36692 miles later, engine has had zero issues and pulls hard. Just drive that thing.
  6. How to tell if a car has PP1 + Magneride?

    Magneride GTs (ecoboosts too?) sit 1/2in lower than regular shock versions do over rear wheels.
  7. 1st oil change @ dealer-interesting convo. Warning: tick content

    That would mean cavitation, and lots of ruined engines since 5.0 come back in 2011. But that's not the case, so back to friction based phenomenon theory.
  8. Mustang GT PP weighs more than a Truck

    Wanna lighter 'stang? Swap Gen3 coyote into 11-12 S197.
  9. Front License Lawbreaker!

    Year 3 driving like that in SoCal...Dealer was instructed not to punch holes - I guess they don't care.
  10. Hated to do it

    Sucks, but that was right thing to do given the situation. I'm thinking of getting craigslist beater, but with extra gas tax initiative to fund LA ev charge network even that may be a no-win move.
  11. The Life of Daily Driving a 5.0

    Having 10R80 blip throttle on downshift coming to a stop doesn't help it either. Especially if there is a FR-S or BRZ in next lane, I don't know what's the deal with that bunch but they aways seem to try and prove something. But daily drive racer wannabes aren't the worst. Tesla jockeys yelling...
  12. Four door Mustang?!?

    That's Porsche. A performance brand that made bespoke body platform for Panamra line to be another model in the lineup. S550 already exists and cannot be modified into full size 4 seat coupe.
  13. Four door Mustang?!?

    I saw one the other day. Crossover looking thing being loaded with groceries. True story.
  14. ...no s550 Mustang seen.......

    Plenty of my18+ s550s here on the west coast. A few GT500s have been spotted in the past couple weeks. Oddly enough I only saw one Mach 1 so far. I'm sure they enjoy paying almost 6$ a gallon for 91 as much as I do.
  15. S550 V8 Timing Chain discussion

    Sounds like stream of consciousness, typed up by someone working for QA and being rushed or not really able to communicate clearly. AFAIK, If MIL is on there parameter(s) have grossly exceeded, ~20%, their norms so it's not preventing wear failure, it's reporting failure already happened.
  16. Time for a Tune-up

    What others said, plus if you are in doubt about your fuel system, just drive around and log the fuel rail and commanded pressures through OBDII logging. If it's around 50psi your ok. If it's sluggish off the line - a less easy thing to consider doing is checking injectors and vvti chains for...
  17. If you want a new Mach 1 NOW

    70k for 5.0? Good luck. Remainds me of 2013/14MY and how people were eager to pay extra for it after being told it was the last true v8 mustang gen by dealers...then s550 shows up.
  18. Mustang vs. S5?

    Looks like you already decided there. Comparing dct S5 to 6-speed GT is a bit odd to put it mildly. Before my PP1 transmission disintegrated and dealer did their best to ruin everything else while attempting to fix it, it never felt slow or sluggish. Normal to Track mode, summer to winter it...
  19. S550 Mustang GT PP long term reliability, and resale value?

    Every car is different, so take it with a grain of salt. At just over 32k miles i have had: Battery replacement (warranty) 4-wheel alignment and cracked rear driver wheel replaced (some psycho signaled right then threw her car into the carpool lane right were I was - hit/climbed devider wall...
