    Sagging rear bumper fascia issue

    Ford has already replaced mine and I am still waiting for them to do it again. The sag was so bad I had chipping paint on the leading edge, so they replaced the entire piece. New one is sagging just as bad and chipping paint again. Now there is a 1/2" crack next to the Shelby logo on the rear...

    New Goodies

    Yep, this along with the oil filter and wrench is pretty cool. Still think I would prefer the promised larger throttle bodies and track key.

    1st Oil Change

    1st oil change at just north of 5200 miles. I put in 10 quarts of AMSOil 5W-50 and the job couldn't have been easier. Hardest part was jacking the car and setting the jack stands. Got an Evercraft Oil Filter Wrench from NAPA, PN 776-9007, for $5. It is 76mm and it fits the filter perfectly...

    Starting to have some quality concerns . . .

    So, the car was delivered with a defective TPS in the right rear wheel and I have already had my rear bumper repainted because the paint was flaking off the panel seam edges. Now the fasteners securing the driver's floor mat have torn loose from the carpet from nothing more than the stress...

    GT 350 Front Splitter

    So my local Ford dealer has had my 350 twice. The first time was to replace a faulty TPS in the right rear tire that the car was delivered with and the first yahoo to move the car drives right onto a parking space divider scraping the bottom of the front splitter. If I hadn't watched him do it...

    What is wrong with Sync?

    So I connect my iPhone to Sync so I can listen to my tunes, on comes The Scream with some serious blistering rock and guess what Sync displays on the screen? "Urban," with a couple of Hip-Hop chicks in the icon. Not that there is anything wrong with "Urban", but you know, there is. What is...

    Not concerned yet, but . . .

    At a stop light in neutral, depress the clutch and snick it into 1st. Light changes, I hit the accelerator, release the clutch and bang it pops out of gear. That is number 1. A couple weeks later I am in the same position, but this time I have the shifter in my hand with the clutch depressed...

    Anyone install an oil catch can yet?

    Had JLTs on both sides of my 2013 GT500 before I upgraded to a Bob's on the passenger side only. Anyone install on your GT350 yet? I know we don't have intercoolers to worry about clogging anymore, but is there any benefit to be had?

    Avalanche Grey w/Tech Package

    Arrives tomorrow. Pics and impressions to follow :cool man: This car handles like you wouldn't believe. It goes exactly where it is pointed and does it with authority. While the motor is very docile below 3K RPM the faster you go, the quicker it accelerates. The deep throaty roar of...

    New springs best addition yet

    I installed a set of Steeda 555-8217s along with a BMR adjustable panhard bar (thanks Van!) over the weekend and it literally transformed the vehicle. Not only did these parts drastically improve all the handling characteristics of the car, but the ride is also much more comfortable. The job...

    Panhard bar wierdness

    Any idea why the stock panhard bar sounds like an Austrailian Rain Stick? Swapped out mine with a BMR adjustable when I installed my new Steeda springs (pics coming) and it sounds like it is filled with something like sand or lead shot. Wierd :??:

    Steeda or Eibach?

    Well, I have decided to pull the trigger on a set of springs. Since Steeda and Eibach offer kits that will drop the car the same ammount I was hoping for some input from the group on which company makes a better product.

    Oil separators and supercharger lubrication

    Guys, Just installed the JLT oil separators on my '13 and I just had a thought: Any chance Ford expected the oil from the EGR valves to lubricate the supercharger lobes? When we talk about these things spinning upwards of 18K RPM did Ford really want to keep those lobes dry? With the...

    New TB without tune?

    Anyone planning on swapping TBs without a tune? I am looking at the Ford Racing twin 65 mostly because it looks fantastic under the hood, but I don't want to do anything to void the warranty. After all, this is my DD. I still feel like a kid on Christmas morning every time I start it up:banana:

    Who thinks the display between the gauges should have had a cobra instead of the mustang? How difficult could it be to change that?
