  1. Story of modifying my first car / Mustang

    The Old Man gets it. Sometimes it takes a few years of mods to understand this. I’m just trying to save you some frustration :cool: Accept now that there will be more updates and modifications, and it will go easier for you and your wallet. Well... easier-ish.
  2. Story of modifying my first car / Mustang

    That’s great! I hate to do this to you, but someone has to say it: You’re not done. You may think you’re done, you may type you’re done, you may even say it out loud, but there will be more more modifications and sooner than you think. :cool:
  3. Phone as a Key for your Mustang

    Yes, plenty of info on youtube. the old style is so weak, I can almost turn it by hand; no tools. Once they breach physical security, most of the battle is won so do what you can to make that tougher.
  4. Phone as a Key for your Mustang

    I would strongly suggest that you abandon this practice. If you don’t already know, the F series is one of the easiest vehicles to break into currently made. Pre ’22 models without the lock cylinder shield can be broken into with a multi-tool in under 5 seconds. Once they’re in, if your keys...
  5. The Added Costs of Buying a New Car

    Give it time, it will go up again within probably the first year. They’ll dazzle you with their declarations and rationale, but it’s basically because S/A does zero to combat vehicle theft, zero effort to recover stolen vehicles or any property that was stolen from vehicles. The good news is...
  6. FRPS Charlotte Track Training Program

    Yes. I just did the 2 day course in mid May. You get 1 day courtesy of buying the Dark Horse, the 2nd day add on is a LOT of track time and it is _so_ worth it. For my class, it rained part of both days. I was more than a bit hesitant to campaign a Mustang on track in the wet, but my last...
  7. The Added Costs of Buying a New Car

    y’all just be glad you’re not paying personal property tax <cough> like Virginia. A Dark Horse is ~$2400 / year just in personal property tax.
  8. S650 Tech Packages Suck: Prove Me Wrong

    In the USA, several states have “left lane only for passing” laws. There are 2 problems with their implementation. 1) Poorly thought out intersections requiring left turns. If charged, you can present a defense that you were about to make a left turn and traffic conditions required you to...
  9. Evolution Resets Fastest S650 Record w/ Whipple Supercharged Dark Horse Mustang (8.65 @ 158 MPH)!

    Doubly impressive to run that time at MIR. That is a hard track to go fast at.
  10. Steeda No Hop kit?

    Kudos for owning the mistake and apologizing for it. Ad blockers are great when they work but they can cause some weird website behavior, besides the stupid “You’re using an ad blocker” pop ups :-/
  11. Advice

    Yeah, unfortunately when the ’17 Raptor came out, we took in a lot of brand-b owners and it only got worse when they released the Raptor R. Now the Gucci, shower shoe wearing, man bun sporting propeller head crowd show up and think they’re God’s gift to FORSCAN mods. They’re not. A lot of...
  12. Advice

    My first experience with FORSCAN was from ’17 on my Rap. The backup all modules is generalized advice because people are lazy, get inspired to make a change and don’t make an immediate module backup before they start trying to modify <cough> DRL settings <cough> and end up with some crazy light...
  13. Ford Issues Major Recall of 1.1 Million Vehicles Due to Rearview Camera Glitch

    Well, TBF, it’s a “safety recall” by law... well, Executive branch regulation IIRC, which has the full force of law and is thankfully implemented by faceless bureaucrats who know better than the great unwashed. :-/ Seriously. I like the rear cameras, without question. I dig the Raptor...
  14. New Mustang is Home

    Nice! Welcome to the $2000/ year personal property tax club !
  15. Ford Issues Major Recall of 1.1 Million Vehicles Due to Rearview Camera Glitch

    Yeah, because heaven forbid we have to actually look over our shoulders or use the mirrors to get into or out of a parking space :-/
  16. Advice

    If you read up on FORSCAN, they tell you up front to back up ALL of your modules FIRST. If something goes south, you can restore from the backup. For simple updates, ones you can do in FORSCAN “easy mode” and that only deal with a single module, it’s pretty safe. It’s when you get into...
  17. Install Instructions for Dark Horse Handling Pack Wheel Lip / Fender Flares?

    I’m convinced my stealership skimped on the PDI because I did a fly/drive home purchase. Else I’d have had to get a ride home or hole up for the night. IDK the front end came off for the whipple install, good to know.
  18. Instrument Cluster Memory

    I should probably clarify - I have Recaro seats so there’s no ‘memory’ function on my MDH.
