    Tranny Noise When Gear Is Engaged

    Did it do it before you replaced the clutch? If so, you've got bagged sychros in the box. If not, your clutch is only partially engaging, for some reason. If you don't know the answers to these qs, I'd bet on the clutch, since it is multiple gears and it's the last thing touched here. Why this...

    Death Of The Black Buggy

    Sorry for your loss. Made a pretty serious error in 2015 myself. Crawled out with 2 busted ribs though so, I think these cars are pretty stout in an accident situation. like you've already done, I just picked up a fully loaded 14 GT with the remains of the insurance money after paying out the...

    Will A 2015+ Steering Rack Work In A 2012 Mustang

    If you've got shakes with stock stuff, it'll likely knock your teeth put with poly. Maybe see if you can find a Boss rack. They aren't sold anymore but turn up occasionally used.

    Will A 2015+ Steering Rack Work In A 2012 Mustang

    Money it won't fit physically, since the whole suspension, including track width is different. Then you have to get the steering rack to speak the same language as the car. The shudder problem had more to do with software than a physical problems and was more common on early cars, especially...

    I believe that's the point I'm making.

    Engine New Engine, Low Oil Pressure Issue

    Installing new bearings doesn't usually mean the cam bearings. OPGs are driven off the crank on Mod motors, Coyotes too. There is no cam in block w. dizzy to drive them.

    Engine New Engine, Low Oil Pressure Issue

    It will cost power as well, due to windage and pumping losses. You don't want a clearance problem masked by a lot of oil. That will fail eventually. Did the shop checking tear it ALL the way down? Cam bearings, everything?

    Engine New Engine, Low Oil Pressure Issue

    I dunno....it's possible it's a pump problem but a HV pump may suck the oilpan dry. There shouldn't be any need for it but, the pump is cheap enough, compared with what you've got in so far.

    Engine New Engine, Low Oil Pressure Issue

    What to say....low oil pressure isn't usually a pump problem; it's a clearances in the motor problem. That would also explain the instant spun bearing.

    Crack/gap On Strut Tower - Best Approach To Fix??

    It's not bondo, it's seam sealer. However, you have to determine the extent of the rust here. It's probably migrated down the rail pretty far and make the repair quite challenging. That IS unsafe to drive, yes.

    Need Some Guick Input On Gt Purchase

    I had a '12 before I got power hungry and wrecked it. It was tight and strong. a stick car needs some rear suspension help to deal with the wheelhop but, otherwise fine. I had a 12 like the one described and it ran 11.91 at 115 on a canned tune and a sticky tire so, I'd say go for it, it's a...

    Supercharged Or Twin Turbo What's More Reliable

    Absolutely no question, SC. I've had both, multiple cars. There are just plain more failure modes with twice the piping and eventually, all that underhood heat starts to cook things to a golden brown. The Coyote is already high on the engine underhood heat scale even without another source.

    Trying to hardwire my radar, need switched power source

    I love this guy coming in here and confirming every supercock stereotype about traffic cops. I'm a professional and I'm held to a higher standard of behaviour than John Q and there is no reason why a cop should be any different. My radar detector has paid for itself many times over. Whether...

    Procal Tuner Question

    It does but, you can't expect a high performance tune to run on 87. No other tunes do that either. It's also in the instructions that 91 is required.

    Spark Plugs?

    I run 1 step colder all the time bc I have the NX kit as well. The only thing I've ever noticed is on really cold days is a bit of stumbling on cold holes in the morning. Otherwise, it drives like stock so, I'd just leave them in. 1 step colder won't foul unless you live in the arctic.

    Hebbler Designs Paddle Shift Kit

    It works, it's looks rough in the finish dept. The plastic is very 3d printer looking. If you can find it at $200 or less it might be worth it as other options require a lot of precision hacking of the steering wheel.

    I Want A 2007 Mustang Gt, What Should I Look Out For?

    If she's quiet and smooth, it probably should be fine. Most of the 05 bugs were worked out by 07. The car is pretty rough around the edges compared to an 11-14 but, it sounds good with exhaust mods, that's for sure....

    Engine Brembo Package Gt Choking!!

    Well good luck with that. If you just drive it like its supposed to be driven, you won't have any problems. Your 1961 car doesn't have 400+ horse, get good mileage, is a deathtrap in handling, braking, and every aspect of car dynamics. If you want to throw back to the Pleistocene era of car...

    Yes in sport then select gears with the up/down button. It ain't rocket surgery.
