About 18 months ago I lost the digital broadcast of ABC 891 (Adelaide). All other digital stations seem to work as does 891 on the AM band. On the screen DAB+ 891 appears but no sound like it's muted. Ford service has updated the software but still the same. Any ideas?

Interested in thoughts on using a clay bar with a spray polish as the lubricant. Done this few times when in a hurry on the (non-Mustang) family car and seems to work fine and saves a whole step in the process. Legit life hack or short sighted laziness? Using local Australian product, 'Lazy...

I'm trying to get my head around Bump Steer and Roll Centre correction when you lower the car. I'm using the BMR min drop springs with 21mm or 7/8" drop at the front. Am I right that Roll Centre correction is most critical and worth me installing the Steeda Extended Ball Joint front control arm...

For those who've had experience installing both 1 3/4" and 1 7/8", is there a difference with the install? Is it easier to retain the factory header studs with 1 3/4"? Any other advantages of the smaller pipes or is it negligible? Staying N/A and think 1 3/4" will be fine for my purposes and...

IF needed, can I turn my CB006 into a CB007 by cutting the extra bits off? I'm installing the CB005 (+ Steeda's shock mounts and subframe alignment) tomorrow and I'm unsure about installing the CB006 I have. LT headers are on my horizon and I understand they can foul. Is the issue with LT...

I'd like to add headers (get rid of our awful RHD factory headers) and I know I'll need a tune to avoid CELs. I see that with any canned tune, they don't seem concerned about exhaust changes. I think I'm right that the tune turns off the exhaust sensor input; is this correct? So could I...

In standard spec, the Mustang is easily provoked into oversteer; should Ford have had a stiffer front bar (or even less stiff rear)? My car just has the excellent BMR SP089/82 spring combo but is other wise standard. I'm soon to add the CB005 and CB007 which I don't anticipate will effect...

Adelaide - This Sunday 2nd April 2017, Northside Coffee and Cars from 8:30am at Golden Grove Village car park (adjacent Dan Murphy's). I've been to one of these and whilst not as busy as the Blackwood event, it is worth attending and would be great to get a few S550s together.

Looking for recommendations from Melbourne members. I'm driving over to Melbourne late May and need a CBD hotel for four nights where the carpark is secure for my Mustang. My conference is at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. Thanks in advance.

What is the collective wisdom regarding 1"7/8 vs. 1"3/4 long tube headers for a mild NA application for Coyote? Low torque, fitment, sound?

My BMR springs (Min drop SP089 fronts and perf. SP082 rears) are on their way to Australia right now and I'm making sure I'm ready for the install. A few points I'd like to be clear on; - Shorter bump stops. Probably unnecessarily I have also purchased the Ford Performance bump stops. The...

Some may already know, but I discovered how tricky our steering system is. I've noticed for some time how stable the car is in a straight line, requiring very little input to keep straight - I thought it was well designed castor and alignment but I saw yesterday in the dealer product guide...

I've quite keen on the BMR minimal drop front springs SP089 as it seems ideal with a 20mm drop, linear rate which is similar to stock. Coupled with the SP082 12mm rear spring it should be a nice combo that retains an OEM look and feel. Has anyone here is Australia imported BMR yet or found a...

Damp road, right turn and some throttle on the way out of the corner and suddenly the rear end stepped out. Off the throttle and some opposite lock and after what seemed a long time but was probably a second or two, I had it back under control. I initially congratulated myself but thinking...

Car cover thread... Genuine Ford cover, stupidly expensive but worked into the deal.

For my speed event next week I need to fit a fire extinguisher and I have been unable to find any brackets to suit the S550. BKAuto in the US are currently developing one but it won't be ready for next week so I had no option but to do my own... I was pleased to see the round bar running...

Everyone else got this sticker that seems to reference LHD?

I'm finding I need the passenger side exterior mirror adjusted to its most inner range to be in the (almost) correct position. I feel like this has been discussed somewhere but a search didn't find anything. I'm not referring to the folding of the mirrors, just adjusting them for the correct...

Looking into the MyFord extended warranty. Dealer advises the Mustang is category 3 and so if you choose to extend the time (not distance) an extra 1 year is $1735, 2 years $1820 and 3 years is $2260. You could also choose to extend the distance as well as the time for extra cost. I wouldn't...

Given that most people on this Aus / NZ forum are about to step into their new Mustang either very soon or sometime over the next 12 months, show us where you've come from - motoring wise. Without getting too sentimental. For me the last 34 years of car ownership has been some performance...
