  1. Mustang Honeymoon is over...

    I think the time has come to move on from the Mustang. I've been sitting on the fence about this a lot over the last couple weeks. There are a variety of reasons I want to move on; here are the cons and pros of the Mustang: Cons: -Build quality is poor, it's turning into a rattle trap like my...
  2. 2015+ Mustang Amp Installation Video

    Hey guys, after almost 2 years I finally decided to edit the footage I took when installing my amplifier and sub into the rear of my GT. I hope this helps some of you guys that are thinking of the install or need a little video guidance. Most of it is pretty easy, pull out panels, run wires, put...
  3. Lining intake boxes with heat resistant material

    I've been noticing very high AIT when sitting idle at the drag strip, long traffic lights, etc. I know the temps usually come down once moving, but for the strip I wonder if that hinders the first bit of my run or not. That being said, I'm running the Mishimoto intake which has a metal "heat...
  4. Mechanics desperately search for my cutout switch

    I had the Mustang in recently since the rear end was clicking. Last time the subframe was dropped, they didn't torque the rear axles to spec which caused the clicking. That was no problem since they fixed it free of charge. What I did find afterward on the dashcam was funny. They caught sight...
  5. Pop when coming from a stop

    Well I guess this is the first real issue I've had with the car. I noticed starting Saturday when I start moving from a stop, there is a metallic pop sound coming from the rear. It can be easily duplicated when going in first moving forward, then going to reverse and moving backwards, it pops...
  6. OEM Active Exhaust reliability vs Cutouts

    Something I've been thinking about these days is the long-term durability of active exhaust systems that now come factory on cars. For years, you'll hear from pretty much any long term owner of an aftermarket cutout that they either leak, or the motor failed. I suspect this commonly comes down...
  7. Ran over a jug of oil?

    I'm a bit confused as to why there is what I'm sure is motor oil sprayed all inside the wheel well on the passenger front of my car, and along the passenger side under the car. I'm seriously considering the fact I may have somehow run over a quart of used oil or something? I ask this question...
  8. Ford's autonomous cars

    https://shift.newco.co/fords-road-to-full-autonomy-36cb9cca330#.td1suqkum Ok, call it click bait or whatever, but hey - autonomous cars would make sports cars an unnecessary object in the marketplace (other than a style or status symbol), as their main intent is performance driving and driver...
  9. Ford Racing Tune - Ever going to happen?

    I remember hearing rumblings about Ford supposedly offering a tune at some point for the 6G Mustangs, I believe it was back on their product wall at a show with the X-Pipe and other FRPP goodies. I have searched the interwebs but see nothing released yet. I know tunes from aftermarket tuners...
  10. To those using the Molex connectors on the amp

    I tried to integrate a 7 band equalizer into my factory setup pre-amplifier. What I did is made up a Molex connector harness which takes the connector that normally runs to into the amplifier (comes from the radio), and have this signal run to the equalizer, then back from the equalizer to the...
  11. GT owner's reveiw of the Ecoboost (Convertible)

    With all the threads of people jumping ship from the EB to the GT (which I could totally understand), I thought I'd give my opinion of the Ecoboost I rented when in Vegas, compared to my GT. I rented a 2016 Ecoboost Mustang Premium with the A6, in a convertible. Apples to apples, for features...
  12. Castrol Raceway June 10th Street Legals

    Anyone interested in hitting up the street legals at Castrol June 10th (next Friday)? If the weather is good, I'll be going. I'll bring along the camera gear too, so if anyone wants some sweet action shots, let me know and I'll see what I can get between runs.
  13. How does your woman let you drive when she is in the car?

    The other day the wife was joking around calling my car "slow", which meant I needed to retort with "well, let me show you what it can do". She responded back with "no, you already drive crazy". Well let me tell you, she hasn't seen a corner over 0.5g, above 4000RPM or above 1/2 throttle. She...
  14. Paint chip repair - not a perfect match

    I found a lovely ding / chip in my paint a couple weeks back. I feel like a achieved a good chip repair in terms of depth and coverage, but the color doesn't match perfectly. I used the Langka system to achieve a good chip repair for height, but polishing the repair still didn't seem to get it...
  15. Manual Transmission Remote Start

    So as I intend to drive my Mustang year round, I would like to have a remote starter installed. I know the automatics all come with remote starters, but I opted for manual. I have called a few dealers locally and it sounds like the bypass module has not yet been released for manual transmission...
  16. Shaker / Pro Speaker Crossover Points?

    Does anyone know, or can anyone "test" the crossover points on the front speakers? I know the signal going into the factory amp is line level full range FL, FR, RL, RR. Somewhere along the line I assume the signals are being cut off / crossed over. I noticed when I did my front component install...
  17. Seems most all new cars have rattle problems?

    This isn't a thread specific to a particular problem I want fixed, but maybe just a reflection on people's expectations, and what is possible. I waited a long 2 years for my chance to pick up my new Mustang. I heard about the new ones coming out about 2 years ago and saw a few renderings, so I...
  18. How To: Install a 7 Band EQ (or other accessory)

    Hey all, I recently integrated a Clarion 7 Band EQ pre-amp into my car to allow some more fine tuning. I know the "ideal" route is a DSP, but I figured for 100 bucks, this would be worth a shot. I spent more than 100 in total, but I would have needed the wiring and everything else anyway even...
  19. How to "valet" your car for dealer service

    I'm one of those types of people that doesn't trust bringing my GT to the dealer because some of the people that work at some dealers do not have respect for the customer's cars and will abuse the opportunity to drive one. Luckily, we have MyKey which will help limit the "damage" they can do...
  20. Owner's manual tray in glove box pops open

    I have noticed this with the owner's manual in the secret spot in the glove box, but even more now since I put a 7 band graphic EQ in that spot, it might be slightly heavier than the owner's manual. What is happening is it seems is over harder bumps the latch on the tray is "slipping out of the...
