@Alan Applegate ......yeah, the coffee and cars crowd is killing our insurance premiums. Just too much power for some fools......and covering your plate? That looks real good in court! Dumba$$.
Third Mustang - 2024 GT Premium Convertible. Like all before - stored from end of November to May 1st in a non heated garage with a soft cover on it. Washed and waxed before storage. Started every three weeks and run to full operating temperature. Run heater to move coolant through it as the...
IMO looks like about 4 euro cars were glued together and haphazardly at that. Want to make it look better? Easy, make it look like a Mustang! Seriously, it's a frickin' chevy, you can't make it look decent.
The strakes should have been installed by the selling dealership as part of their PDI. They are the ones who dropped the ball or maybe the original owner didn't want them installed. Yes, $199.00 is a bit steep but a service order has to be generated, a tech has to put the car on/off a lift and...
@Corrotto28 ...... I have owned three mustangs now and never had problems anywhere near that. Of most concern to me is the welds missing. That could lead to very serious later damages. It is a unibody type vehicle and all of the pinch welds are critical. Trade it back to the dealer for a new(er)...
@IFFV68 ....... I'm pretty sure that deal would be a felony burglary in at least 40 states. Way to go, some times the good guys win one! BTW, when you said - "what did I do?" Man, IMO, you did a great thing. The boss caught me looking at a "loaded-up" 2025 Mustang convertible in magenta red. I...
Don't even have to drop the mufflers to paint them. I painted-out the mufflers on my 2014 and it looked great. I taped-off nearby body panels and frame members with some cheap painters' plastic sheeting from Dollar Store, took about 15 minutes a side. I used high temp paint, two coats and...
@GrabThatBlue ..... stick with Ford 5W-30 FULL synthetic. Ford's base oil is highly refined by Conoco and the viscosity index improvers are form the very highly respected SO oil. Over many years of building automotive and marine engines and having an uncle who was head of Shell oil chemical...
@Tim_CO ...... yes, the intake design was carefully thought out by Ford. I have noticed (obviously) sitting in traffic can warm-up the intake air but as soon as I hit 30 mph the twin air induction "snorkels" do their work and shoot cooler air right into the engine, then engine head temps and oil...
@krisk and @TheGrabberBlueGT2024 Blue .....was discussing this with a friend who owns a 2024GT. He asked, " Doesn't the DH have an auxiliary cooler behind its lower front grille? That area of the grille seems to have OEM open slots to let the air blow through when underway. Couldn't 1/2 or 3/4...
@krisk ..... great pictures , very interesting. Thank you! Awesome beast! @TheGrabberBlueGT2024 ..... I agree with @krisk ..... would be very hard to install an aux oil cooler there. Much easier up front and likely more of a radiator function (air blowing through the fins) than a heat sink type...
@AZ_Ryan .....I respectfully disagree. I have installed many small transmission coolers over the years. Even a small one makes a tremendous difference and new ones are even more efficient.
@kagemusha2662 ...... of course, but that was not the point. The point was it was fun to watch the Mustang rip up the road and then watch the video of the RSA guys and TRC vidoe as well as the transmission and engine builders.
As part of a discussion regarding transmission coolers for Mustangs I referred @TheGrabberBlueGT2024 to RSA race Solutions of Boynton Beach Florida as they are IMO the final word on building Mustang transmissions (google them) as well they build crazy HP Mustangs with the number one (for 2024)...
@TheGrabberBlueGT2024 ..... CORRECTION. The shop in Boynton Beach Fla. is RSA Race Solutions. They build the best mustang transmissions IMO anywhere and also build specialty Mustangs like the 2000HP 'Lambo Killer" - super videos of that encounter are on "google". GOOGLE - 2000HP Coyote Beats...
