I would like to know as well, but still no response.

 

I hit almost a 100mph a couple of times in this video on the long straight sections. This is in the middle of the country on a back road in Germany. Just driving the speed limit takes around 6+ minutes from start to finish.

 

Would be a great road for motorcycles too.

 

Well the news isn't good. We think that the car was making more boost than we set it up for. It was supposed to be only 6 lbs, but when I hit it WOT on the entrance ramp the boost/vacuum gauge only moved to "0" so we aren't sure how much boost it really was making (the aeroforce was showing 14 lbs, but I don't think it can actually pull the figure from the OBD port and the sensor for boost wasn't installed yet for the aeroforce).

Apparently we found the weak spot - the spring for that valve. I think that we either broke or compromised the spring. It sounds like a simple fix, but the procedure is a little more complicated and there are little retainers that can be lost in the engine while fishing the old spring out and inserting a new one with the head on the engine. And even then, we won't know if we found the correct problem - and then we have to work through the remaining 11 valves on that side and do the 12 on the other side with stronger springs. Could be a lot of money spent chasing the wrong fix.

The other option is swapping the engine, and keep the old one for parts or to build up later on. Right now I'm at the point where I'm ready to put it in the garage and take my time with the repair. But looks like it will be down for awhile longer.

 

Most of the motorcycle riders that live around here hit that road when they are out cruising around.

There was an R/T Challenger following me in one morning and he was tailgating me a bit. On the last little bit going in I hit the fun pedal and left him wondering how to control the fat chick he was riding in. He caught up later and didn't even look my way while we were sitting there in traffic. LOL

 

WOW JimC, I see I was not included in the response to, but I was the one that got you to finally post a reply to everyone who ask (post #61). Could it be because you are a moderator from another forum that is the worst forum on the internet ? and yet here you are posting on the best forum on the internet, just curious. My PM to you a few days ago was very polite towards you, wasn't it ?

 

That's too funny.

 

My 2011 5.0 base GT didn't come with the lighted door sills so I threw a set on.

 

Yesterday, I placed an order at 1pm with Hypermotive and one with American Muscle. Just little parts. And they got here this morning at 10am! Big shout out to you guys for the great customer service! Instal sometime later today.

 

Received and installed my gt500 axle back this afternoon, then went for a nice test drive.

 

Installed the MGW shifter yesterday. The quality of the shifter is excellent. The factory one looks like rough and the rear support.....total joke!

 

Installed my rear plate frame today, what a pain in the ***. Ford provides each new car with a bunch of black hex screws to attach the plate, but they also provide an additional chrome fastener kit with stainless phillips head screws, plastic washers, and those chrome plastic screw covers/caps. The plate frame didn't come with hardware. Go out to the garage to install this thing and realize while Ford gave me four chrome caps, they cheaped out and only gave me two of the correct philips heads screws. So I was like well that sucks, go to Vatozone, nothing. Go to Home Depot and battle 2 PM Saturday crowds, nothing. Go to Menards and have to park on the street in a no parking zone, battle the crowds, nothing. Start to get pissed, drive to a specialty hardware store that also has bad/no parking and FINALLY find the screws I need. Christ, who knew a #14-3/4" phillips pan head screw was such a rarity. Anyway got them and got the plate frame mounted, but might superglue those chrome caps to the plastic washers; they snapped on but not very good since they kind of overlap up onto the raised parts of the plate frame, those chrome caps are always so chintzy. Like the look though.

 

Where'd you get that plate frame? I like that a lot!!!

 

Long drive? They do sound good... I will admit though, when I first put them on, I was sure that the sound was perfect and I'd never want more. Now, like everyone else it seems, I am considering resonator removal for some more sound.... but they still are a huge improvement over factory.

Enjoy!

 

Got it from Amazon through Eurosport Daytona, should be easy to find if you go to Amazon and search "5.0 mustang gt license plate frame"

 

Short drive unfortunately, but it is my daily driver so I'll be hearing it a lot more come the work week. I'll admit that I was trying to find reasons to drive it since I put them on.

 

Got the windows tinted 35% all around. Then washed the car and a couple hours later my neighbor mowed his "lawn" (more like dirt) and stirred up a huge first cloud that wandered over and blanketed my shiny car with a nice layer of dust. :bang head:

 

Spent 9 hours, wash, clay bar, Meguiar's Ultimate compound/orange pad with a 7424xp, Polish with Ultimate Polish and white pad and then Ultimate wax with Blue pad....


I''m pooped.


But it's is as smooth as a babys.......

 

Plasti-dipped the chrome badges on the side and the chrome ring on the faux gas cap. The crome is just too ugly and out of place on this car imo.





Not super happy with how the badges turned out so I will likely just replace them with the dark badges, but I think the faux gas cap turned out really nice.

 

Installed my new J&M Rear LCAs today. I haven't gotten to test them out though, just a test drive around the neighborhood.

The rear end definitely feels a tad firmer now. Complemented my Koni/Steeda combo.
