    Clunky Clunk Clunk...suspension?

    Where I live/work, I see Bentley's, Ferrari's, Lambo's and Porsche's every week. I NEVER hear their brakes squeal when they stop. I'm pretty sure those brakes are better than the Brembo's on my car, which squeal. All. The. Time. (Unless I lean on them.)

    Clunky Clunk Clunk...suspension?

    My buddy has an '04 Cobra. Not quite the Brembo brakes on that car (stock) but they are great brakes. His never squeal. The pedal is really firm and right at the top of the pedal travel. My Brembo's squeal, and I think that's just kinda cheesy. Perhaps new pads will solve this problem.

    Clunky Clunk Clunk...suspension?

    The car is totally stock. Ok I lied. I have a K&N drop-in air filter. I was thinking it sounded like drive shaft play and/or trans/drive shaft something or other. Should I take it to the dealer and have them look it over before I go on this road trip? :)

    Clunky Clunk Clunk...suspension?

    So I have a 2011 Mustang GT. 6-speed manual, Brembo, super deluxe...blah blah. I've noticed that while pulling into my car port, very slowly, foot on clutch...sometimes in 1st or neutral, as I turn right...there's some mild "clunking" sounds in the rear end. The parking lot surface is...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    I ran the Bama 93 Race tune in my car all of last summer 2011. It really made the car feel pretty awesome, honestly. Just moving the TQ curve to the left really wakes up these cars. That said, I had it dyno'd this spring 2012. Weather was rather chilly...maybe 45-55 degrees. The dyno chart...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    I'm pretty sure Steeda is considered a "manufacturer" of cars...an "OEM" if you will (same with Roush). My understanding is that their tune was developed with the folks at Ford to make sure the tune was as good as it could be and still maintain the bits Ford needs to make the car run correctly...

    '11 Hood Corrosion

    The dealer said it would most likely be covered under warranty. Once they submit the claim to Ford, you have 30 days to "fix it." I'm going on vacation for the month of July to drive 6,000 miles cross country on Route 66, so we decided to wait until I get back to file the claim. They would...

    General G-max Compared To The Oe Pirelli's?

    The OEM summer-only Pirelli P-Zero tires (Brembo cars) retail for about $350 each at Tire Rack. The G-Max are $194 at Tire Rack. The tread wear rating is 480. That means they aren't very sticky and will last a long time. If you're looking for all-out summer performance, you're gonna find tread...

    '11 Hood Corrosion

    There has been a known issue of cross-contamination with the aluminum hoods and steel/rust particles getting trapped under the paint. I'll take it to the dealer and see what they say.

    '11 Hood Corrosion

    I posted in a thread about the paint bubble problems under the hood/trunk of my 2007 GT. I traded that car in for a 2011. Well, the problem appears to be back...on my 2011 GT. I have 18k miles...it's 1.5 years old. Sweet.

    GREAT Engine Dress UP...Painted Coil Covers!

    Yeah.

    GREAT Engine Dress UP...Painted Coil Covers!

    I would suspect that the tiny front element is pretty strong and well-recessed into the lens body. My lenses have 77mm front elements, at least 3x bigger that that tiny thing. Most any filter will crack and stay in place of the filter ring unless you bash the front of it. So hitting the lens...

    Clutch Problem

    I took my '11 GT into the dealership yesterday. I have 18K miles on it, and I find it tends to grab "near the top" of the pedal travel. I would guess there's maybe 2" left before the pedal is completely out. The dealer (trans tech) told me it felt "fine," and "normal." I told him I was going to...

    Gopro Video Test

    Thanks. The paint was actually kinda dirty. The mirrored effect is kinda weird and cool at the same time.

    Gopro Video Test

    Hey, thanks! I am using a cheapy Radio Shack omnidirectional tie-clip microphone. Item #33-3013. I used a Radio Shack 20ft. extension cord so I can mount the camera anywhere on the car and run the mic out to the back. In this video, the mic is placed right above the license plate. It's...

    19" Tire reviews - Need some advice!

    I can see the points Mr. Bad Boss is trying to make. I would look to the "Federal" Reserve as a huge problem, more so than trade deficits. Not only is it *not* a Federal agency (it's a private bank) but it's in cahoots with foreign banks to take down the US of A by bankrupting us. Now that I...

    Okay So What Is The Best Exhaust For No Drone Inside Car

    I have Roush mufflers on my '11 GT. Zero drone. Amazing sound. Here's a test video I just made with my GoPro and an external mic, if you wanna hear what the car sounds like. Around 2:40 it gets better. :)

    Fuel Gt 6 Spd Owners. Whats Your Highway Mpg?

    MPG update: I have 18K on my car. I have 3.73s with a Bama 93 race tune. 6-speed manny tranny. At 70mph I got 24.5 after driving for about an hour. No cruise control. I'm going to put 6,000 miles on my car in July (cross-country road trip). I will have re-flashed the car to stock for this...

    Gopro Video Test

    I bought a GoPro video camera for my road trip this summer (driving to CA from Detroit on Route 66). Thought I would do some testing of the camera with some external microphones for sound capture. It's a little long...gets cooler at around 2:45. Let me know what you think!

    Why Steeda Cold Air Intakes Blow Away The 'Competition'

    If I already have an SCT tuner and just want to buy the CAI from Steeda, does it come with any tunes? Are there tunes available for purchase if need be? Thanks.
