    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    My rear rims and tires are aftermarket, came with the car. Monstrous 305 Nittos on there. I couldn't even get my finger behind it in most spots, so I put some 1/4" spacers I had laying around on them, and voila, the noises went away! Must have been rubbing on something, though it seemed...

    Electrical Anyone seen electrical issues like this? Throttle cut out was first symptom..

    Think I figured it out. A brake pedal stop pad failed... Found a YouTube video with some comments on it. Will post more info tomorrow if I have succeeded in fixing it. Will be so glad if it's not electrical!

    Electrical Anyone seen electrical issues like this? Throttle cut out was first symptom..

    First noticed my throttle cutting out at any speed. Even WOT when held for 1-2 seconds, drops back to barely above idle. Video is me locking it into 5th gear so I didn't go too fast. Then I noticed the speed control would turn on, but I could not set it. Then I got a random message about the...

    Recomendations for. Non drone muffler??

    I recommend Borla S-types. No drone. Quite when driving like a grandma, talks pretty well when you get on it.

    Looking to get a Mustang

    No wheel hop issues for me. I don't lose traction with hard acceleration. Probably a combination of the automatic and good tires. The dash rattles can be temporarily fixed by pushing or hitting the affected area, haha.

    Looking to get a Mustang

    My 2 cents, the manual is more fun, but the auto is faster. Paddle shifting just ain't quite as good as the stick shift! I want two mustangs, one with each; an auto for days I'm lazy or want what's faster, and a manual for days I want to have more fun. I concur with thin paint; tons of chips on...

    2018 Mustang GT A10 help

    I'm pretty sure you won't be able to hit whatever the theoretical top speed of 10th gear is, given Mustang aerodynamics, lol.

    2016 V6 coupe fuel gauge accurracy

    Yeah, he sat in the back seat, then called for a tank of gas to be delivered, haha. I hope i never have to coast in on a stalled engine, that would have me sweating for sure.

    2016 V6 coupe fuel gauge accurracy

    Yeah, it's pretty accurate from my experience. I've driven mine down to as low as 4 miles left before without worrying much. Couple other times close to 8-10 miles left. The only reason I do so is because I happened to test drive a Mustang GT that read 0 miles left. The salesman said it was fine...

    I think I have Piston Slap in my 2015 Mustang GT

    Mine had this issue, but it went away on it's own over time. Same with you, only on cold starts would you hear it. Took it to Ford and they wouldn't do anything about it because i had put custom axle backs on. Very annoying and embarrassing sound it was!

    Tires advice

    I have the 3.31. 95% of my driving is highway miles. That particular trip was several 100+ mile trips combined. I average about 25.7 with all my other driving.

    Tires advice

    Here's what i get on the interstate using 87. 10% Ethanol too. ;)

    Tires advice

    By my math, I've saved about $900 over the last 45k miles using 87. And yeah, it's safe to use 87, the ECU changes the timing and what not based on what it detects you're using. I'll splurge for some 93 once i get my job title changed at work, someday, haha.

    Tires advice

    I run 87 in it too. Would love to put 93 and take it to the track one day! Family life has got me busy for the next decade or so I think. :D I've seen that new 10 speed up against a hellcat a few times in a video, was very impressed how it gave it a run for the money! These are all my "best"...

    Tires advice

    I just got some Cooper Zeon RS3-G1's a few weeks ago, 235/55-18 and holy crap are they amazing. I dropped my best stored 0-30 time down to 2.2, just on a regular highway, haven't been able to do some real good testing with them yet. Think i did a 4.8 or 9 0-60 on that run. They can handle full...

    2015 GT Stock Front Camber Adjustment Possible?

    Got the camber bolts installed, and figured out how to adjust the rear camber as well. Got the over aggressive negative camber fixed to very minor negative camber all around, but now my toe is all out of wack! My rears are almost 3 degrees positive (toe in) each, and my fronts are about 1.5...
