- Firefighter46 replied to the thread Auto to manual shift changer 11-14.Good catch on that one, I missed it. I might throw them an offer. No bone yards near me, and the ones in southern Michigan that get mustangs of my year get picked over fast. (see full post)
mwjscn replied to the thread Auto to manual shift changer 11-14.Yes, most eBay salvage yards will sell the console top panel as a unit. You can try to submit a Best Offer to this seller, which has the part you need - https://www.ebay.com/itm/117202226319 The listing has been running for 3 months and has a... (see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread Auto to manual shift changer 11-14.I'm not seeing anything specific to that part on eBay, but I see entire console covers that include the boot and all. I'm wondering if that's the direction I'll have to go. I assumed the boot attached to a trim ring that snapped into the console... (see full post)
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread S550 Rear spoiler recommendation for Road America?.It's basically a GT350 nose, I'm sure someone is making knock off parts by now, the originals are $$ (see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.Everything I'm swapping from the pallet came from the same vehicle. It was running on the pallet in my garage. I bought it from Cleveland Performance. I should've just swapped all the components over like I planned. I even have a complete body... (see full post)
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S550 Rear spoiler recommendation for Road America?.Simple answer, do what the long time members are telling you, no real changes except fresh DOT4 fluid ( like Motul ), solid track pads, and check your car over. Road America is a fun but demanding track, concentrate on what your Instructors tell... (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread 2021 Mustang Mach 1 HPDE - What is a high cylinder head temp?.You can pull more data from the OBD2. Unfortunately a lot is calculated rather than directly read. The more you mod the system the less accurate it becomes. You can see the water temp follow the rpm on long pulls. If you can stay on track and out... (see full post)-
TheTed replied to the thread 2021 Mustang Mach 1 HPDE - What is a high cylinder head temp?.Believe that past 245F is where the computer starts to pull power and shut off AC if it's on, at least that's been my experience.Cooler is better so there's nothing wrong with what you did, but on my Dark Horse I pretty much let the computer... (see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.Guess I'm swapping in the donor cluster/clock spring/key setup next then. This doner engine ran on the pallet. (see full post)
Stangra replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.The key, key transceiver, instrument cluster, BCM, and PCM all must be programmed to the same vehicle (see full post)
Stan Whitney replied to the thread S550 Code Orange GT500.My Tbar mounts on top of the control arm. (see full post)-
Stan Whitney replied to the thread S550 Code Orange GT500.Old post on my part. Since then I found my scales were reading incorrectly. My car ended up weighing around 4216 with a full tank. Apex forged 20x11.5 square with 325/30/20 Nankang crs and CMS roll bar .Since then have gone to race seats... (see full post)
- Firefighter46 replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.I'm now wondering if the clock spring/cluster is somehow tied to the BCM? I'm to the point where I put power to everything today and tried to crank the motor. No luck. I got what looked like a security lock out. I have swapped in the... (see full post)
Howitzer replied to the thread 2021 Mustang Mach 1 HPDE - What is a high cylinder head temp?.I try not to run over 235 CHT which if i hit, i start to back off. I think most would consider over that or at least over 240+ too hot. Also note that the hottest cylinder is typically #8 and it will be hotter than what the sensor reads. (see full post)- OX1 replied to the thread S550 Code Orange GT500.Interesting. Mine was 4079, 5/8ths tank, compressor/tow hook and mats removed. And mine is CFTP. (see full post)
- OX1 replied to the thread S550 Rear spoiler recommendation for Road America?.Does Gt4 use fender vents? (see full post)
Brads550 replied to the thread Deep dive into oil.I recently switched from Motul 300v 5w-40 to Driven 5w-40 as it was more cost effective. Driven seemed to run cooler as my CHT temps were not as high during 20-25 minute HPDE sessions. I have also tried Penn Ultra Platinum 5w-50 and while it... (see full post)-
mwjscn replied to the thread Auto to manual shift changer 11-14.Not to my knowledge, but you can find used donors on eBay and in junkyards. (see full post)
- Firefighter46 replied to the thread Auto to manual shift changer 11-14.Is it available by itself? Every part breakdown I've seen is very vague or doesn't differentiate between manual and auto. (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?.You do know one of your mates is going to do this. Just so they can smack you in the back of the head daily. Bit like a voodoo doll. 😂 I would never be that rude. (see full post)
