    SUPER SNAKE!

    I once had a R8 V10 620HP for a whole day on German Autobahn, came back to my 2007 Mustang GT and thought to myself, what a great car, no, not the Audi :happythumbs: But, at least the ceramic brakes were extraordinary.

    Driveshaft balancing the Ford way?

    My car is still in winter storage, unbelievable bad weather here, I hope the home brew modification will work, I guess buying the part +shipping +tax will be around 400€. The bearing itself seems to be pretty tough. Car wizard had a Shelby with over 200k mi and bearing was good. Looking...

    Stalling On Cold Start After Winter Storage

    The idle is self learning, the procedure is in the Mustang manual. I would just watch the temps, if they are plausible the sensor should work, but it still can be off. (I had once a coolant sensor on a Mercedes that was 10 °C off, was way too rich running in the morning)

    Stalling On Cold Start After Winter Storage

    I guess it is not your first winter storage, did you disconnect the battery? Are you able to write a datalog? If yes, I would disconnect the battery to reset the idle set-up, connect the Xcalibrator to write a datalog (https://www.bamaperformance.com/article?id=201797909&cat_id=200199175), do...

    Coil overs Shelby GT 2008

    In German it is also called wing, Flügel, but with feces in front, Kotflügel. It is named after the same part from coaches to prevent throwing horse poo around picked up from the streets. First car was a coach with an engine.

    Designed to be this way or? 2005 GT

    I have the Tokico shocks and can change the compression/rebound rate. My car starts to jump around on bad roads when the damping rate is too firm and you start to lose contact to the asphalt.

    Replace alternator bearing?

    Rebuild is a reasonable option if you have already all the tools and the clutch pulley (not all have clutch pulleys) is ok. Otherwise parts and tools are almost as expensive as a rebuilt one from rockauto. I got one of the last Denso 2010 alternators, which was very expensive, but I guess is a...

    Baffles Under the Car

    I have a 07 and my underbody looks a bit different than yours, also this shields are different. I guess the new full plastic version covers all versions up to 2014. And they are cheaper for Ford to make. The new 2024 has some interesting flaps behind the front wheels at the same height (?) as...

    Coil overs Shelby GT 2008

    If you want to go deeper for optical reasons, what about an air-ride? What are the fender emblems? Very nice car.

    Steering rack replacement and O-ring problem (2005)...

    Usually it is always the inner diameter + the thickness, which is missing. 6 and 7.5 mm means they are German, French or Swedish norm size, usually not in the typical sets. And, which material exactly? I had the same odyssey last year with a Mercedes rack, don't wanted to pay 10€ for a 10ct...

    Rear Axle Bearing Noise

    Probably: Backlash too small, lead to a whirring sound at low speed, probably louder on right turns, lots of metal in the oil. (Ask me how I know :() If you drained the oil just with the lower plug of the cover, some of the metal is still inside, there is a pit which is deeper than the plug...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    It was very simple. I made 2 slits right above the lamp, used an old neckband from a conference badge and made a knot behind so I can change the length if I want. The plastic part is not rock solid, but I can add a support to the lock made from wood to stabilize it if I need to.

    Rattle, bang noises

    www.iihs.net/fsm I once had a car with a knocking noise and never found it. But, there is a tool called chassis ear, no idea if it is useful.

    Double Gasketed Oil Filter, Now Getting P0345/P0349 Codes

    The camshaft adjusters work with oil pressure, I would delete the codes and wait if they come back.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    You don't need to cover 100% of a panel, 40-50% is enough. The further noise reduction above 50% is not worth the effort (a friend working in the automotive industry told me) Example: You put a 10 x 12 sheet in the middle of the door and get most of the noise reduction (vibration attenuation)...

    Looking to get a 06 GT manual with low miles. What should I be on the look out for?

    Not many owners. If you drive a car several years you take better care of it. Rear axle noise, my diff gone bad at 20k.

    Baffles Under the Car

    Fuel tank deflector section 310-01 It is probably air deflector and protector, the tank is deeper than the axle. The aerodynamics of the underbody could be optimized a lot..... PS: probably BR33-9N226-

    Driveshaft balancing the Ford way?

    I hope I don't get too much NVH from my repair now, but there is still the JXB option. A Ford Performance driveshaft is 1600+ Euros here. I'm painting my rear axle right now, so car still up in the air.

    Running noise

    I had a woah, woah in my diff and the pinion bearing had an uneven wear. Did the rebuild myself (longer story), it is possible as a first time job, but needs some research before. Good thing, you can usually drive without big problems despite the noise in the differential.

    Running noise

    I don't have a comparison to other tuners, so.... The old generation of Bama tunes were horrible, but since they offer to send in log files for tune adaptation to your car I don't have any complaints. The good thing you pay only once and you can get new tunes if you changed something for free. I...

    Driveshaft balancing the Ford way?

    Oh, a heat shield to protect the driveshaft support bearing, makes sense. And the beancounter discarded it. The undercarriage is unreal, I have a no-winter car, but this is great.

    Driveshaft balancing the Ford way?

    Does somebody know for what these empty clips and studs are for? They are also on the other side.
