What modification do you regret?

It's quite tasty. Bonus points and flavor if you smoke it.

Will have to give it a try. We usually make jerky and chili with our venison (we split with a couple friends). Will have to try the marinade and grilling it. I’ve smoked some pieces previously and it is excellent.

I agree, and have done the same with the OEM paddles. I'll hold final judgement until I have more time with them and test them on track.

Mine are TDD branded - got them off Aliexpress, Alibaba or Ebay. Don't remember exactly as it was over a year ago.

They're probably all coming from the same factory, but I've linked below one from ebay and one from Aliexpress as examples. There are tons of options if you google "Mustang Magnetic paddle shifters".

Be warned, removing the airbag took me over an hour while cursing due to the spring release design. Make sure you have a 3-4mm thick allen key that is FLAT ended and long, or a perfectly sized flathead screwdriver. Once airbag is out, it was a breeze.

I also had your experience when I removed my airbag to replace the steering wheel - talk about a pain in the rear. My issue was my allens were too small to sit on the spring without slipping off. Hoping I'll have a little more magic if I do the clicky paddles.

This sounds like straight heresey towards any deer i have ever taken.

That sounds absolutely delightful

The juxtaposition of these comments is hilarious.

Two biggest regrets, 1. Getting the A10 Mach 1, it was a low mileage car at a really good price, but I should have waited, got the MT and made my wife learn to drive it. There are times I like the A10 and other times I hate it. 2. I bought a staggered set of Apex VS-5RS (19x10s for the front and 19x11s for the rear) when I should have just done the 19x11s all the way around. At the time I didn't want to run longer studs in the front and wasn't sure where to get the speedo recalibrated for 305/30/19s. Probably will end up buying the 19x11 next time Apex has a sale or going to SVE Forged wheels.

McLeod RST clutch. I'm sure it is a great clutch but my EcoBoost is primarily a daily driver and I couldn't get over the noise it made. And my wife hated it when she drove the car. I removed it and reinstalled a OEM clutch.

I can feel that, my slave cylinder went out unexpectedly and while in there I added the RST. It is noisy and takes some getting used to, but boy does it drive great and give me the direct grab and go feel I was looking for with a manual.

I avoid the noise by going down a gear, where I used to drive in 4th I now usually drive in 3rd. Can't go into 4th until 33mph or so and up.

Not everyone would love that for sure, but it really is great when you are driving aggressively!

I regret lowering a previous GT I had with Eibach Pro kit springs. I didn't like the stance or ride. Granted I made the mistake of not switching out the worn shocks. I'm sure it would of rode alot better.

worn shocks on lowering springs gotta be absolutely awful experience

Hmm… that would be one big ass blunt!

Yea, you gotta keep that thing over 1800-1900 rpm or it will sound like its rattling apart

The money wasted on a cai and a na tune. Either leave it basically stock or go FI.

That's exactly what I did with my GT years ago after I bought it; Only did suspension mods after I bought it. Didn't touch the engine, not even an air filter change because I knew what the end goal was.

I got lucky with my FP calibration, it fixed all the symptoms with the A10, made it so much smoother and much better shift points and still happy with it over the years. more of a way to say it should have come that way from the factory in NA form. Even the procal also lets me adjust for different tire sizes or gearing set ups for those who want to swap gears or change tire sizes.

I may grow into it, but so far am kinda torn on the Steeda short throw shifter and Transmission Mount Bushing Insert. While I am happy with how precise it is, I find it a bit too tight, especially how much you need to pull it towards you for first and second (using the medium resistance springs). I also feel like it added a helluva lot of noise that wasn't present before. I just got them installed after having in a box since two Black Fridays ago.

Per the Steeda website, "Our Steeda Mustang MT-82 Tri-Ax Race Short Throw Shifter is quieter than the stock shifter during daily driving" BULL$H!T it is, reviews on their website confirm it.

I need to put more miles on it but just giving an opinion since that's what this thread is asking for.

Yeah, when you live out in the sticks like I do, you want to see those deer that want to kill you ASAP.....

I miss living in the middle of nowhere and worrying about deer. Instead I worry about head on collision and road rage

But I did buy an inflatable deer for Christmas and I routinely set it next to the road to freak people out.

Gives me the feels.
