    At the request of @Junkyard Dog here is the link to my BL Fabrications turbo install. It has been quite a journey, with challenges appearing almost every step of the way, but so far, I’ve been able to adapt and overcome those challenges. I’m very...

    Copy that Junkyard Dog. Ask and you shall receive…I am currently deep into the weeds on the install and it has been extremely challenging at almost every turn. So much has had to be modified, but I’ve made a considerable amount of progress thus...

    Another S550 build. One lesson leaned, my braided brake lines from the previous GT500 calipers in that the lines are not compatible. Had to replace those for the 550 Brembos.

    Now it's any gear . What I can do is put it in gear with the motor not running though then start out that way and after it warms up a little it will shift then. I have this looked at 4x . First air out of the clutch line. Then bleed the brake... (see full post)

    I have some theories on this since my Gt500 does same thing occasionally. For some reason modern trannies use what is basically automatic trans type coatings instead of real brass synchro rings like God intended. This means that they are highly... (see full post)

    Only reverse? Or gets stuck in any gear?

    I would not go with a 40 aspect ratio but a square set is the way to go. Many of us have run 18x11s, and with a spacer and some longer ARP style studs a nice set of 315/30/18s will give you a stick like glue feel on track.

    Now BS I am talking about the rim of the wheel as the knurl is on the inside of said rim so don't get so excited .....you did notice I said wheel when appropriate, ha!

    Ha, ha, ha, positive proof old farts should not type while watching TV. Let's rephrase that goofy post of mine to read, "If you damage a wheel Apex will sell you a replacement for only 50% of retail. " Now that does sound better doesn't it...

    If you can slide tire right across to studs while on jack stands that’s all i’d need

    2 Hole saws is really all you need. First one the same size as the current hole and the second your larger hole. Use the first one to cut a timber plug that you use as the centering for the larger hole saw. Same concept as the jig just simpler...

    Not acceptable engineering. Return for refund. Here are my rear camber arms of choice https://aadperformance.com/collections/mustang/products/2015-mustang-s550-rear-camber-teailing-arm (see full post)

    I see the swaybar is not attached to the end links. Hook that up first as that may provide the droop limit needed to keep out of contact.

    Hi, guys say i just replaced the clutch in my 2014, Mustang GT and flywheel. Because it was getting stuck in reverse. It drove grain for a month, but now it's getting stuck again. Even worse, any ideas, what this could be?

    I am thinking about doing a forged apex square setup with the continental 295/40R18 square. I like the fitment of the CCW but a square rotatable setup seems very pocket book friendly. Just have to get over that 25mm spacer (see full post)
