    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I am not sure. I haven't even taken it out yet with all the foul weather here. I don't drive this car in the rain. I am sure they will tone down the exhaust some but I know I still have more work to do to make it suit my tolerance. My warm idle was actually tolerable even with the Stingers but...

    Random High Engine Temp

    Maybe you could do a nice picture tutorial on how to make a "Homemade" wire upgrade! That would be beneficial for those who don't want to spend $199.00 on a WireEverything Pro wire harness. :cheersman:

    Out of control spam

    After noticing all the spam, I looked over the staff, and as mentioned, only one staff member is active. I feel for him. It appears even one of the founding members has bailed on policing the forum. Very sad!!!!!!!!!! This is not good long-term. I was once a Super Moderator on another hobby...

    Random High Engine Temp

    I am guessing you haven't disconnected the fuse box receptacle to the fan housing assembly connection. You better check that connection while you replace the fan. Its possible that connection has taken the brunt of the heat stress from the failing fan. It should show (NO) signs of heat stress or...

    Random High Engine Temp

    I wouldn't recommend doing that with the age and wiring of a stock Mustang. He's lucky he hasn't melted any wires yet. Fix this before you end up with a mess. AT the very least, a New stock fan replacement would be a must. The current fan is laboring and drawing excessive current just to run and...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I swapped out the Borla Stingers for the Borla Touring. And went over the entire exhaust tightening up all the clamps. The pic of the quickjack was at the lower setting when I took the pic. I raised it to the max height when I went over the entire system.

    Can I hook up a Bluetooth receiver board to the aux button wiring?

    I just plug into my console aux port tethered to my phone and hit aux on the dash and listen to my YouTube audio favorites or play my Sirius XM radio via my phone app when on road trips. Win Win over the plain FM stations with no modifications.

    Low speed cooling fan relay

    Have you checked your receptacle that plugs into the fan assembly. If you are having fan assembly overheat issues, this plug in receptacle would show signs of heat stress or worst case, melting. This harness leads to the fuse box relays.

    Low speed cooling fan relay

    Before I had any overheating/melting issues with my fan/connectors or fuse box, I installed the wireeverything Dual Speed 8 gauge fan Relay Harness (see Link) to externalize the higher amp requirements of the fan assembly. I also installed a New Ford Performance SVT 7 Blade 2013 Cooling Fan...

    Ruff idle after long tube header install

    Did you get a custom tune when you installed those headers? That would be a pertinent recommendation.

    Which of these s650's would you rather

    Ha! Don't get me wrong. I admire the power, technology and aggressive style and the new styles are fun to watch and look at. It's just not the car I would purchase, even if it had 200+ more HP. Mine makes me smile and has plenty of usable HP for what I need and it's paid for.

    Which of these s650's would you rather

    I have never had an interest in the body style changes of the newer platforms (Post S197). To me, they don't look like Mustangs, even though they are badged that way, or at least the old-school version I best remember. When the S197 came out, it caught my eye and was a viable modern-day retro...

    The PIC WHORE CLUB!!! Knock before you Enter!!!

    They didn't make any Redfire (G2) 427R in 2008 (although there may have been a transition period to Dark Candy Apple Red). Some AI reports show they made 44 427R Redfires during that mid-year transition in 2008, but I haven't seen actual production numbers. WE used to have a forum (FNSWEET) that...
