  1. Towing w/ the Mach 1

    Here are my thoughts on trailer vs shoving everything into the trunk, backseat, etc. -hot and sticky tires pick up EVERYTHING. They come off the car so dirty it would be like throwing a handful of pocket sand in there. (Hopefully someone gets the reference). If you do it often enough...
  2. Towing w/ the Mach 1

    It's a 20 year old South Sport tire trailer I got for free. Pretty sure they're not made any more, but there is very little tongue weight. So if you're looking for a tire trailer, just keep that in mind. There are a lot of used ones on the market.
  3. Towing w/ the Mach 1

    Yeah. I made another post a while ago with pics. But it just needed a little trimming.
  4. Towing w/ the Mach 1

    Made it all the way from Tampa to Carolina Motorsports Park to participate is a Time Attack with Gridlife. Towed great. Got 22 mpg at 70 mph.
  5. "Show Gauges" not working digital cluster

    Yup, realized what I was doing after I had some coffee. Disconnecting the battery reset my selections for which gauges to show. Rechecked the boxes. Poof. Like magic. Thanks for the reply.
  6. "Show Gauges" not working digital cluster

    I have a 21 Mach 1 with the digital gauge cluster. In the settings there is an option to "Show Gauges" so you can see additional data. I was working on the driver's seat and disconnected the power. After reconnecting the "Show Gauges" option just gives me a blank screen (between the tach and...
  7. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    My tire trailer is very well balanced with the tools to counter balance the wheels/tires. WAY less than 200# tongue weight. Empty it is maybe 20 or 30 lbs. I can move it around with a finger. I wouldn't be comfortable with a heavy basket. That being said, I also own SeaSucker rook racks which...
  8. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    Yeah it's a massive bike rack. Carries my fat tire ebike. I put a flag on the bike, just in case.
  9. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    It's true! lol
  10. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    That's good to know! I would very EXTREMELY disappointed if Ford gave me hassle over the hitch, but if I understand warranties correctly, to void a vehicle's warranty they have to be able to prove that the modification or part installed caused the damage. I am guessing this is more of a safety...
  11. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    These are the only two pictures I have from beneath. Hopefully they're helpful. My current challenge is finding a hitch riser. My tire trailer needs a hitch riser of about 7 inches. The highest I can find is 5 inches. Not exactly the end of the world, but I like it when things work...
  12. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    UPDATE. As a recap, I ordered the Draw-Tite part number 29428 for Mustangs with active exhaust. It does not bolt into the Mach 1 without trimming, but I with some messing about, it is installed and I am really happy with how it turned out. It is far less noticeable than I expected. No...
  13. Removing the CFTP camber plate screw pins

    Gotcha. I've done that plenty of times with past cars, but I was hoping for some easy gadget that I just didn't know how to use yet. Believe it or not I've had great success with the local Firestone and the lifetime alignment. They don't care if I bring them the car on Friday for the track...
  14. Removing the CFTP camber plate screw pins

    Yeah I have the same one on my HP Mach 1, but finding any information on them has been a challenge. How to adjust them, how much you get out of adjusting them, etc. By comparison, the Camaro ZL1 1LE goes down to -3.7 degrees of camber after you loosen a few bolts and twist the assembly at the...
  15. Removing the CFTP camber plate screw pins

    This is awesome. Thank you for taking the time to write this up. I have been wondering how to do it, but all of my tools are in storage while I move. I have a friend with access to some basic tools, but I didn't want to tackle the project and get half way in then not have the tools to finish...
  16. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    It's totally doable to get 4 tires in the car, but things get tricky with the jack, air compressor, helmet, overnight bag, pop up tent, cooler, a couple chairs... You run out of room in a hurry. That and I own a tire trailer already, and all of that fits on the trailer with the tool box. Very...
  17. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    Exactly. If I could haul a small trailer, it really expands the usability of the car. If I want to go to a cabin in NC over the summer, I could haul two bikes and two kayaks for lots of activities with the Mrs. Then I have a sports car for the lovely mountain roads, rather than being stuck with...
  18. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    I kinda have that already with the suction cup roof rack and luggage box. Being able to haul a trailer is just the best option for a lot of applications.
  19. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    According to the Curt website: " excluding Mach-1, Shelby, active exhaust, or quad exhaust tips". The Draw Tite at least said for cars with active exhaust, so I am guessing it is the better fitting solution of the two. Guessing being the key word, of course.
  20. Mach 1 Hitch for Tire Trailer

    I have a Seasucker roof rack gimmick, so in theory that's possible LOL. However, I also wanted to use my bike carrier, or have the option to tow a small trailer for my fishing kayak. The bike weighs 80 lbs (its a fat tire electric bike) and the kayak weighs 110 with all my gear, so loading...
