    Tires advice

    Nice. My commute is about 2mi, mostly stop and go, sit and wait. It’ll be interesting when I DO get all highway miles in, where the MPG ends up.

    Engine Noise 2018 Gt

    Everyone needs to google “Mustang BBQ Tick” and you’ll find a lot of info. For the 2018’s there will be some noise related to the direct injection but that’s more of a faint ticking than a metallic tapping. It seems like the Gen 2 and 3 Coyote engines have had some issues with the tick and some...

    Tires advice

    That’s ridiculous! My first fill up was 200 miles until empty. Do you have 3.31 or 3:55 gears?

    New Personal Best: 11.75 @ 120.81

    That's moving out... awesome!

    Clutch fork vibrating.

    Sounds like an improper cable adjustment. Are you running a stock, or replacement cable? Adjustable, non-adjustable? Is there any slack in the cable or your clutch pedal? There needs to be some type of pre-load on the clutch fork, which will in turn keep the throwout bearing from bouncing on...

    FRPP Warranty?

    That's good. It didn't sound like they were, but now a days it seems like that's what you can expect. That's sad to say.

    New TFS intake

    Haven't heard of it. I think Edelbrock will rule the 2v intake scene in terms of performance gains per dollar. Logan is a serious intake too, but serious $.

    Gman's 5.4 swap

    I assume the top starter bolt is the one you're talking about? That is a mother F'er. Leave it out when you re-install, it serves zero purpose. I used somewhere around 2.5-almost 3' of extensions, coming through the front somewhere between the k-member and motor mount. Swivel socket helps as...

    FRPP Warranty?

    That does suck, but I can understand why it's not a warrantied part. Too many variables that could lead to accelerated wear or near instant destruction of that bearing. Are you sure the bearing itself was bad? I would imagine the shop would have inspected it before installing and if it was in...

    00 Gt, "squeaking" Sound From Motor When Cold?

    Could be the tensioner or idler pulley if coming from the engine bay. Possible it's coming from the transmission area? Throwout bearing is a possibility.

    Ran My Car On The Track Today... Not Happy!

    Boost or throw some gas at it...:D Seriously, if it's not going to see the track often, don't put too much into the numbers you got. Important thing is that the car is fun to drive. If you need the "fast" option, seriously look into a small shot of nitrous. 100 shot wakes the car up a lot, is...

    Photo Shop Request....

    http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/official-4-6-liter-mustang-photo-thread.605976/ That thread will have just about every setup in it. 2" looks great but is a pain for a daily driver. You'd also need caster/camber plates at that drop to keep your alignment in check and your tires...

    Ran My Car On The Track Today... Not Happy!

    Well, your times are lower than what you want because your 60' sucks. Your suspension setup is geared more towards turning than transferring weight, which is exactly what you need to have occur at the track. We've run basically identical times and MPH (best my car trapped on motor was 100 or...

    2002 Intake Repair

    99-mid 01 cars have the same plastic crossover. It's unlikely his is a plastic crossover intake, seeing as it's an '02. But it's also not unheard of for an aluminum one to crack.

    Why Do Import Guys Give No Respect Towards Mustangs???

    What are your mods? lol. I've run into that as well. Guys asking "man that's got a 5.0 (pushrod) right?!". Too funny about the RX8 owner. That car is for chumps (going on personal observation) and serves no purpose but to fill a narrow marketing niche in my opinion. Maybe that's harsh...

    Flywheel Help.

    I feel the same way. Seems too easy for the insert to get hot and warp.

    Cervini's Heat Extractor Hood Pictures

    That looks awesome. So much cleaner without the gap. You by chance have any more pictures with the Drifts on the car? Awesome choice.

    2002 Intake Repair

    The thermostat housing is likely cracked. It's an extremely common problem on these intakes. There was a class action suite in regards to the issue several years back. You can try to replace the intake gasket if you'd like, but it's a pretty sure bet the gasket isn't your problem. To make it...

    Car Is Making Strange Noise

    No problem. If your stock flywheel is in good shape, it can be resurfaced and re-used without an issue. You'll just need to find a machine shop that knows what they're doing and buy some new guide pins to re-install, or have the shop re-install. My flywheel had some bad hot spots and had...

    Car Is Making Strange Noise

    Mine went out in a similar fashion, except it literally seized at one point. It wasn't pretty when I tore everything down. I haven't heard much about the Exedy clutches. I bought a RAM HDX for mine. It was on sale for $179-ish from www.50resto.com. So far it's a pretty nice, tam clutch but it...
