  1. Preventing rust on underside?

    Prior to applying any form of topcoat you must make sure the area is clean, if any oxidizers are left on the metal it will continue to corrode even under the topcoat. Not knowing how long the scratch was there before you noticed it, I would remove recently applied paint with fine grit sandpaper...
  2. Just got an email from dealer refunding my deposit on R Model after 6 months!

    That is what I was thinking, found somebody willing to pay much more. Not sure there is much that can be done, unless you signed a contract.
  3. New owner! Boss 302 LS!!!

    That is what I was saving for when I learned of the new BOSS Mustangs coming out, I figured with what I was going to spend on a 69 Mach 1 I could buy a new Boss and not have to do any restoration work. I still plan on some day getting that 69.
  4. Help with hesitation between 2000-3000rpm

    I have only had that happen once and it was from a small shop. I was shocked at first but then realized it is a good way of getting repeat and new customers.
  5. Super Cobra jet Throttle body

    LS110 I have not gotten the 65mm yet, I'm working with Shaun with the monoblade still. He told me he prefers them. I also don't think the 480 was corrected because that sounded high to me. I was expecting between 450 and 465I have not seen the wrench light since the new throttle body was...
  6. Super Cobra jet Throttle body

    I emailed Shaun and he told me a few things. He said he prefers the monoblade when it works properly. said the main issue is the blade sticks due to the weight. He also said the he tunes each one diferently. He has asked for some data logging and I watched his you tube video prior to doing it. I...
  7. Super Cobra jet Throttle body

    He did not dyno it with the 65mm on it, that throttle body belonged to somebody else. He installed it and said he test drove the car for twenty minutes without a problem. I've searched and searched for issues with this TB and came up with a few that stated most of the problems were in the tune...
  8. Super Cobra jet Throttle body

    Has anybody heard of problems with the mono blade throttle body? I just had the Cobra Jet manifold, FRPP CAI, cams, and Kooks long tubes with H pipe installed. Made 480RWHP When I went to drive it home I made it a few miles from the shop and the Wrench light came on. Reset it drove a few more...
  9. Spikes K9 Fund

    This is something I've never done before, I read this story on military dot com today then checked out the site and I felt compelled to help a fellow vet and animal lover and figured there might be a few people here that might be willing to do the same.http://spikesk9fund.org/
  10. Track Key 2.0

    It will never happen, they will say that anything beyond what it is now will not be 50 state emissions compliant or some legal crap like that. Now if the were to label it is "off road use only" they might be able to do it, but they would never give a three year warranty with it, and you would...

  12. GT350 R Carbon Fiber Wheels

    If you are just relying on a visual inspection to determine damage it will be to late. They make ultrasonic tap hammers to detect voids and ply separation (disbond /delamination) and they are not the most accurate and it would be a long process to perform on each wheel after each use. The type...
  13. GT350 R Carbon Fiber Wheels

    Can't provide direct link due to it being on secure web site but here are a few quotes.NAVAIR 01-1A-21 01 August 20111 6AL‑4V Titanium. Titanium is a corrosion resistant structural material that is lightweight and galvanically compatible with carbon composites. Other advantages of titanium...
  14. GT350 R Carbon Fiber Wheels

    You would not want an aluminum center since it would cause galvanic corrosion. Most people believe carbor fiber / graphite does not corrode they are correct, however when placed next to aluminum it will excelerate the corrosion of the aluminum and without proper prevention and treatment it wll...
  15. 2013-2014 Driver Airbag Recall

    Talked to a different service manager yesterday when I picked up my car. He said the two recalls are almost the same exact thing, one is a priority for cars with an airbag light. So probably different funding to make sure parts are available. They changed the airbag in my 06 Mustang, and will...
