Will these make my GT faster, no. Will they generate more HP, no. Are they necessary, no. Did I get permission from the boss (aka the wife, hell yes) - actually she encouraged me. Yeah, I know, I chose wisely. Thought about the purchase for a while. Discussed the item with Roush Performance. Dry...
@Stanzi ..... I'm still looking for that damn post. You might consider starting a new thread with a title that would be seen by the original poster of the reply? Something like "My Mustang Held Hostage By Recall At Dealer" and see if that jogs someone's memory. In the meantime I'll keep looking...
@Stanzi ..... I'll see if I can find it. The dealer had to declare something that released the car that seemed just common sense. The thread was a guy waiting to get his Mustang that had a TSB or recall issued but there was no immediate remedy. I think he his Mustang within a day. I wonder if...
@roket .... the "trick" (I probably should have called it a work around) is perfectly legal and for many recalls (think Takata airbags that took several years to arrive) and a BCM that would likely not show the effects of corrosion for years - leaving vehicles in dealership lots would be...
S197s could have water intrusion through the firewall into ECMs if the owners were dumba$$es and allowed their engine firewall drains (2) to get full of dirt. Another water issue (not owners fault but common to many convertibles) is water getting into rear quarter panel compartments. A fix for...
It's not easy to line-up plastic and metal panels and have them retain that position. Several Mustang buddies have had to loosen and re-align panels from S197 to S650. Have seen the same on many other vehicles. That said my 2024 GT Premium Convertible lined-up really well. As good as any...
@Frogdog1 and @AZ_Ryan ..... agreed. Did the same - worked hard from 11 years old on. Paid cash for everything unless I got a 0% finance opportunity. Made choices, set priorities. Friends pi$$ed their money away and now complain "it isn't fair". Paid all my university, books to courses to...
One thing I do LOVE about EVs - it's what I call musical cars.....watching who gets caught holding the EV as it approaches three years of age - the mid-point of most EV's battery life. After three years no one in their right mind will buy a used one. Now that IS fun to watch. Well, that and...
According to the President of Toyota there is six times the environmental damage to build an EV compared to an ICE. In Europe a friend who regrets buying his EV has to unplug it (city ordinance) during periods of power shortages. I could go on and on. EVs - garbage - whose construction destroys...
@D/\rKHrs€ ..... if they are more efficient (air flow) then slightly smaller shouldn't be an issue. I believe the afe and Roush dry filters are the same size. as Ford oem. I have purchased the Roush "Air Intake System" - clear topped air box covers and dry filters + 2 extra dry filters. They...
@oddjack ..... there are some great youtube videos of before and after sound bites of Mustang two pipe vs 4 pipe and Mustang 4 pipe versus Corsa, Valvetronic etc. I believe the Valvetronic website has some sound comparisons if you "google" it
There should be nothing less that quality 91 in this (5.0) engine quality 93 would be the best without getting exotic. Shell's 91 has proven very good on the dynos in the past.
Both Roush Racing and aFe make composite air intake filters that are DRY. You can buy a dedicated cleaner for them or wash them in warm water with a bit of dish detergent. Afterwards they must be completely dried. They can be "washed" many times. We built engines and would not install oiled...
@AZ_Ryan ..... you say - "I love how the people that don't believe in climate change or environmental protections are suddenly worried about the environment in China when the subject of EVs comes up." ..... I'm not worried about the destruction of China's environment as they are doing that to...
