Not sure if it’s true or not but I heard someone saying the other day that you can’t run A/C with the two inch version. I have 1 7/8 and it does seem tight in that area from what I remember.
My fully loaded GT convertible with manual transmission when it was stock. I have since installed a tubular K member, BMR engine stands, BMR motor mounts, LTH, anti gravity battery and carbon fiber driveshaft for weight reduction mods. I had 1/4 tank of gas. Not a PP1 car as I didn’t like the...
Is anyone running this rear seat delete kit in their S650? It says it is only for the S550 but I think the rear interior is pretty much the same. This is the only company I have found offering a convertible version
I didn't think Ford even changed heads vs the S550. Wasn't it just the Dark Horse that got different cams in the head and the GT was standard issue stuff the main difference being the twin intakes vs the S550?
I think I have an exhaust leak but not sure exactly what it would sound like. It is mostly noticeable on deceleration and it sounds like someone is swirling a small metal ball inside a tin can. If I push the clutch in the sound stops when the RPM drops. It's only during deceleration where there...
Thanks TJ! I was eventually able to get the unit to work well by pushing the lockout gate into the collar with a slight amount of pressure instead of just touching it. I'm banging 2nd gear at 7,200 RPM and downshifting into 2nd at 45 to 50 mph no problem again. I think the important thing for...
It feels like it snagging on something trying to go from 1st to 2nd and if I try to downshift from 3rd to 2nd it just locks out. On the off chance it does go into 2nd it's a clanky, rickety, binding type feeling. This wasn't an issue with the stock shifter whatsoever. I went to this to make it...
I didn't notice it because the exhaust has always sounded normal. I looked the car over pretty hard but I didn't make them put it on a lift before I took delivery so I didn't see the underside of the car. Any car I buy in the future will go on the lift beforehand.
I love the sound of the stock exhaust especially in track mode. I get compliments and solid excitement all the way to joyous laughter from people when someone asks me to rev it. I think it is one of the best sounding factory exhaust systems there is when equipped with active exhaust. I'm putting...
It's on the engine side of the resonator. Probably wouldn't have been attempted theft as I only park at gas stations for about 5 minutes to fuel up and get a drink. It did sit at the plant for a couple weeks waiting for Ford to give the OK to buy where someone could have messed with it. Other...
I have noticed a spot in my garage since I bought the car but didn't think a whole lot of it being the car sounds normal. I just figured I had a loose exhaust clamp or something I would get around too eventually. Well I crawled under the car to put in a resonator delete and some other stuff and...
Borla recently released some stuff that specifically mentions it will work on a convertible. It looks like it is only for the toned down S-Type exhaust instead of their Atak systems for now if you have active exhaust. I'm going to continue to wait and see what comes out down the road. I'm...
I like the look of the carbon fiber option but not the gray looking inserts inside. Does anyone know if you have to use those? Those inserts if that is what they are look like they might screw in based on the holes in the top photo.
Would it probably be one of these systems with really small mufflers? I'm noticing some of the popular options have much bigger mufflers than these. One is AEW and one is Flowmaster.
Did you notice any weight difference with the coilovers vs stock? I want to say on the S550 forum they said coilovers were worth like 5 to 10 pounds in weight reduction per corner.
What is the advantage of having a shop make one if they are readily available cheaper pre-made and ready to ship? Lighter aluminum option going that route possibly?
Those look awesome! I like how it is patriotic and sinister at the same time. What color is your car? Where did you get yours? I got mine from Bogar Tech Designs.
