Sounds like it's going to look great when done, be sure to post pics!

What I'm hoping...enough changes to be different than every other black GT floating around, but not obnoxious.

Seen a lot of people picking up some power with the 18 intake... I just installed a 2018 intake myself...


I mean its made by Whipple not ford but still... 2018

Don't forget pics of your car when its done... wouldn't want to have to poverty neg that mod ass... lolz

Yeah, I'm hoping the intake will keep me ahead of my friend's Scat Pack Challenger (cammed). But we'll see...I could walk his other one, but I'm not sure how much help a cam gives those things. And I'm gonna have to stick with the life time tunes by Bama off the bat, but I'll see about changing over to AED after the first of the year. I'm hearing some decent numbers being tossed around and comparing the 2018 intake to a ported boss with out as much of the low end torque loss....but seriously, if I'm racing the car, I'm not overly worried about the lower RPM TQ numbers. So we'll see what my poorman's boss intake gets me

And dang man...If you want to trade 2018 "intakes", you just let me know lol.

I had been running a ported boss with 100 shot for a couple of years prior to going whipple... even when I was just running on motor I never felt this "loss of torque" the internet keeps claiming... I mean maybe if I put it on the dyno and compared it back to back... maybe it would show up but for the Boss intake losing so much torque my fkn tires never did get the memo...


That said I have a Ported Boss intake , Accufab TB , Custom 4" Steeda CAI , 47lb injectors , and a NX plate kit (entire kit from billet bottle brackets to the plate..) that is off of the car and needs to be relocated out of my garage... Anybody is interested let me know... ill give a better price if somebody picks up everything..

I was looking at the pic and thinking "wait a sec that's not a 2018 mani..."

Oh its a 2018... I have the invoice to prove it... its 2.9L of 2018

I follow a All Motor Coyote group on ******** and 2018 manifold discussions are the equivalent of creatine discussions on this forum few years back...

LOL... yeah I am probably in the same FB group. It got plain retarded right when those things dropped...They are a great low buck mod in comparison to a CJ... but CJ is King of the N/A Coyote intakes. And again... I enjoy how many people discount the Boss intake these days...granted my car was probably taken a little further than most do with bolt on's and weight saving... But I cant say that I ever got my a$$ drug by a CJ car on motor...and if I did think it was going to be a problem I would just bump the nitrous until it wasn't a problem. I don't fight fair on the street.

[rectifryer]

I pretty much just avoid the forums/online for technical discussion. They're cancer or just vendors selling stuff (but the vendors are still awesome lol).

I am trying to locate a spare s550 chassis to do my dirty bidding with for some sort of circuit track prep. I just want to make the best performing car reasonably possible on the chassis in my garage.

Yeah, that's what I don't get. Sure, you may have seen some torque loss in the lower RPMs, but if you didn't see the curve or numbers from a dyno sheet....most people would never feel the difference. And who is worried about the lower RPM range when the only time you'll be impacted by that is during normal daily driving. Personally, its not going to bother me...so I'm not worried if I drop a few points.

Freak'n Americanmuscle.com Ordered that grill...didn't say anything on the page about being on back order. Chatted one of their contacts cause the part still showed processing. Apparently it's not scheduled to ship until the 29th? Headlights came in busted so I had to send them back and waiting on the replacements, but crap I'm not going to put the headlights in then turn around and basically take everything apart again for the grill.

I think I'm going to drop even looking at them for parts ever again after this. Not catastrophic, but frustrating.

Rant over...

Back in the game since 2006. Way out of the loop, but bought a low mileage 04 Mach.

4 new Nittos on my door step waiting for me! Car is still on its original tread.

How many miles? Pics?

[jcrue11]

What color is the Mach 1 you picked up? I always liked the look of those cars.

[Funk7632]

Nittos put on today.

Car has Roush Stage 2 suspension, 4.10s, within the first week I did a MGW short throw and aluminum drive shaft. other bits and pieces such as SLP exhaust and a tune. 43k on the odometer.

First and favorite fox from back in 2002:



Anyone ceramic coat their own car? I have a bottle from Car Pro waiting to be used.....

[cgc]

OK, need some input from you guys....
I bought a 2018 intake manifold and submitted a turn revision request for it through Bama (yes, I know...but I'm supposed to have the Tunes for Life and it was what I bought at the time). Ten days after I submitted, I received the following e-mail from them.

Hello, Tom from Bama Performance here, before we can finish writing tunes for your vehicle we need to inform you that we do not support the 18 manifold on anything but the 18 at this point in time, We have not conducted proper R&D testing of this manifold to fit on anything other than the 18. If you can return to the stock manifold we can get tunes out for you I look forward to tuning your vehicle.

I get that they haven't done R&D....but I'm assuming when other tuners receive a request from someone with minimal modifications (CAI, Intake manifold, x-pipe, axl back) that they're able to datalog and work with the customer to get a tune? That's supposed to be how this crap works, right?

So here I am..I've dumped a decent amount of money (for me) here over the past couple of weeks to do some crap to the car...tap is dry for more funds right now...and I can't get a tune cause these dip****s won't datalog with me to get a tune?

To me...I bought tunes for life, I don't have anything crazy done to the car, they should be working with me....Am I off in my thinking here?

[1slo5oh]

This is a long shot but dose anybody have a 11-14 stock Mustang GT throttle body laying around they want to get rid of... easy $20 and ill cover shipping.

[JamesMUSCLE]

Any ideas? Driveline clunk somewhere, most likely rear end. Mainly noticeable if I lug it low rpm. Not a u joint, since I just recently put in a new aluminium driveshaft. Car is a 92 fox. 31 spline axles and center section.

The foxes were notorious for that clunk. I don't recall what the issue was, but it was pretty well know back in the day....believe even my SN95s had similar issues as well. It never hurt anything, just annoying as crap.

[WarriorRustler]

Just found out there's a Mustang crew on here lol. Here's one of my cars, a 95' Cobra with a bunch of mods.

I love the SN95's. Looks good, and very easy to mod. Well, I mean it's somewhat more expensive to mod than a 2011-2018 Coyote since you literally have to build an entire engine.

However, a Dart block or Boss block 351 stroked to 427 cubic inches with some nice 225 AFR or some big TEA Port Trick Flow heads and you can be around 600 rwhp N/A.

3200 pound race weight is easy too.

My Traction Lock would click or clunk when making sharp turns. Have you checked your rear upper control arms to see if the Torque Boxes are intact?

[rectifryer]

Some stock 1000whp 2018 coyotes floating about now. I can't wait to see if any make it to the track! It's making me want to turbo my daily.

The new auto transmission in the 2018 is making me want to get one. I mean high 11's completely stock on stock tires is nothing to sneeze at, and plus it's a great starting point. However I believe I'd upgrade the pistons before adding over 600 rwhp just to be on the safe side.

Thanks, I've thought about going GT500 but I know I'd regret it. I actually have a 2.65 TVS on order and she'll be getting a whole new round of mods, I'm hoping to see close to 25 psi.

[cgc]

Alright...took a quick pic a couple of weeks ago.
2011 GT with 2015+ style tail lights and RTR rear deck lid (faux gas cap delete).



I'm still waiting on the Eleanor grille to get here then I'll install that and the smoked headlights. I'll also put the GT500 rear valence and Kooks axle back on probably at the same time. Just trying to find time.

The 03 and 04 Cobra is still one of the best looking cars out there. Always turns heads. I especially love white ones, like yours. Good luck with the TVS and make sure to post videos and pictures when it's running.

is it vmp?
should be just over 800 even with out e85 at 23 psi.
just sold my redfire red 03 about a month ago.

[BeardofZoos]

I saw Eleanor on the way home this weekend, woof

I wish I took a picture

[jaimeruiz99]

Is the convertible Mustang worth it? Thinking of getting the 2018 version. Already have a BMW M4 and Miata MX5.

[cgc]

Any of you guys with the 11-15s replace that 8" door speaker in your Mustang?

if so, what speaker did you use? The Kicker most go with, or did you find another that works you like?
I'm planning on replacing all of the 6x8s and was considering the 8" while I was at it.
