Spur of the moment things yesterday when I was at the Ford dealer for service/recall on another vehicle. The had the GT PP cars with 0% for 60 months and $5K off sticker. Ended up trading in my Deep Impact Blue 2014 GT Premium Track Pack Car for a 2016 Competition Orange GT Premium Performance...

Sold

So I picked up my 2014 DIB GT Premium track pack car on 29 September and set out to do a few basic mods to make it more enjoyable. I have now completed my initial short list. Mods are: SCT X4/SF4 Tuner with Bama 93 Race Tune (Had KMS do a custom dyno tune as well. but did not pick up...

I have heard that the 13-14 track pack cars come with a bit off axle offset to the drivers side from the factory. I have just installed some 55D rear springs for a 3/8" drop and notice that the axle is now offset by about 1/4 inch. How much is too much? When do I need an adjustable panhard bar?

A couple of question I have based on my recent visit to the dyno: 1. On a normally aspirated 2014, would you be able to feel the difference (SOTP) with 9 extra peak HP and 6.5 lb-ft (at the wheels)? 2. If I was to give the car a good cool down with a big fan blowing into the front of the...

Well, not really a noob to the site or the hobby (this is my forth mustang), but now have a new ride. Picked up a new Deep Impact Blue GT Premium track pack car 24 days ago from my an Atlanta area Ford dealer. Car has the pedestal spoiler and no other options outside of the premium and track...

So I bought a 2014 GT Premium 6M Track Pack car on Monday from a local dealer. Window sticker date was 6/11/14 and build date was 6/17/14. From what I read online, 2014 mustang production stopped on 6/20/14, so may car was built on Tuesday of the last week of production. Just thinking it as a...

Been kicking around the idea of selling my terminator this summer. Just have not be driving it as much as I should. Car has 29,162 miles (9000 of which I have put on since 2008). Car is in perfect condition and fantastic to drive. Just modded enough to make it handle, brake, and accelerate...

Ok, so I have a 03' vert that I have an aftermarket head unit (Pioneer Premier DEH-690UB) installed in. That gave me improved sound and MP3 capability through the USB port. Now I am thinking about doing more. The car is a weekend hobby car and only gets driven for fun. 98% of driving is...

Last week I installed a Steigemeier stage 5 ported blower with ported stock TB and ported/welded stock plenum. Threw on a new belt for good measure while I was there. Car already had K&N FIPK II, Bassani catted X, Magnaflow cat back and 2.76" pulley with Steeda and Metco idlers and had been...

Had the vert out for a slow cruise the other day and happened to turn into my old neighborhood. Was driving slow down the street (15-20 MPH) and started hearing a clicky clicky sound. Came to a stop and smelled a god awful burning electrical smell. Drove up to a gas station nearby, stopped the...

Car was originally sold in Virginia, and when I picked it up back in September of 2008, it had the dreaded front license plate mounted, as well a a couple of dings and a small crack down by one of the foglights. I plugged the holes with some color plugs from bumperplugs.com and tried to touch...

The Year One guys are having their monthy car show on August 15. I went to the July show and put the Cobra out for the folks to look at. There was about 200 cars. Mostly Muscecars, but some late model stuff as well. I am going to the August show with a few late model GTO guys. Any other...

Finally got around to doing something more to the exterior than just washing it. The car was washed, cleaned with clay, waxed, and leather cleaned and conditioned, black trim conditioned, tires tarted up, etc. I think it turned out nice.

Well the stock clutch has given up the ghost. The car has 22,276 miles on it and I have had it since it turned over 20,000. The clutch was way out of adjustment when I bought it and was slipping/smelling, so I put a Steeda quadrant and firewall adjuster in and got it back into adjustment. It...

I started looking for a new DD in February seeing as the deals were really getting good out there. I was planning on getting an economical car and handing down my Ford Escape to my wife. Decided that I wanted a Mazda 3 and went shopping at a local dealer. Started by test driving a Mazda 3 S...

Came up with the idea this week that with the smoking deals out there on new cars that I needed a new daily driver. So I decided on handing down my 01 Escape to my wife and selling her 97 Nissan Altima. Wanted to get something practical to drive back and forth to work. Settled on a Mazda 3...

Had my subframe connectors installed on 12/31 by a local shop. I went with the Steeda zinc plated full length units which I got from Steeda for $162. I had previously used MM powdercoated FLSFC's on my 99 Cobra vert and was happy with them. I ended up choosing the Steeda as they were...

Just wrapped up my latest project on the car last night. My mom bought me a Billetflow IRS brace for Christmas. Decided to fix my diff leak and do a few other things while I was in there. I pulled the pumpkin out completely so as to work on it on the bench. I installed the BF brace, and...

Okay, let me start by saying that I have searched and have yet to find a clear answer to all of these questions. That being said, I thought I would ask here. I am getting ready to do a round of suspension and IRS work on my 03 10th anniversay vert. I have a set of coupe springs that I will...

Been looking at some of the inserts out there and trying to decide which would look best on my silver 10th anniversary vert. I am considering: Sticker Monster outline in black Sticker Moneter outline in red Solid black Leave it alone Which would you go for?
