I typed up a big write up on my 2015 GT base upgrade, but the page backed up and lost it while trying to insert a link.
Here's the less detailed short description. I intercepted the radio outputs behind the radio, installed quick connects, wired an alpine brick amp in, upgraded the 6.5"...
My 2015 base GT Mustang with about 50k miles has had the P0300 code at least once a week for the last month. I assume putting a Roush/Ford blower on it would take car of the problem if it's the IMRC? :D
Makes me want to spend some money. Congratulations. It's been 12 years since I last drove my 03 Cobra, so I think it's about time for another 500+HP car in the garage.
On my 2015 jeep wrangler the TPMS sensor in the wheel does not transmit until the wheel rolls down the road (centrifugal force). If you change the wheels out on a wrangler, the computer just learns the new sensors and their location--no prgoramming needed. I'm not sure if it figures out the...
I shopped for 2013 and 2014 mustangs, and my wife sat in a 2016 at a dealer while we were waiting. She said get a 2015+ just for the interior upgrades. I didn't argue and got my 2015 base GT. It's very easy to drive.
I have a base 2015 GT mustang, and I don't have to use the tool to rotate my tires. Are the newer cars different? I bought the tPMS tool for the day that I change the wheels and sensors for track trips. I haven't used it yet, though.
Thanks for following up. I owned an 03 Cobra over 10 years ago, and the ported eaton and 491rwhp was as far as I ever got. I now have a 2015 GT that I'd like to put a positive displacement blower on. They are great daily drivers with the torque.
The above discussion is why I want a twin screw blower on my 2015 GT. It's a great car for trips and fun in its own way, but it's not as exciting as my 2003 Cobra with an upper, port, intake, and exhaust. I don't particularly care for push button start or the crappy base GT stereo that's damn...
I don't particularly care for the pedal and lack of feel in my 2015. There is no feedback, and I often am afraid I'm burning it up as I slip it and try to get going. If I try to slip it any quicker I can actually stall the car. I kind of miss the heavy ass cable clutch from my 03 Cobra.
I installed a Viofo A119 in my S550 and my Jeep Wrangler after a lady tried to sideswap me on the interstate for blowing my horn at her. She was repeatedly sleeping at lights (on her phone). After about three lights doing this I honked once to wake her up. She was livid. Once we got on the...
I bought a 27,000 mile used 2015 GT mustang Saturday, and the only modifications I can find are the straight pipes that replaced the resonator and possibly welded in louder mufflers. Does anyone have any experience with straight pipes versus the typical H and X pipes and how it might affect...
A friend is in need of the inner stub and tripod off of 03/04 Cobra half shafts. He is building a custom rear end for his car using a 31 spline 8.8 IRS diff. He has the custom center bar and outer CVs, so he only needs the inner. If you have some spare parts around or a broken half-shaft that...

Hey all. I am installing my new aluminum built block into my 03 Cobra this weekend hopefully. I wanted to run this belt size idea by a few of you all and see what you think.
I have been running a K080745 gates belt on my car for over 20,000 miles with no problems. Here's the old setup with...
Last night my car began to stumble and died. It restarted and I got where I was going. Later, when I started the car again, the fuel pressure was running at 39-40psi under 18 vacuum all the way to 0 vacuum. It was running rich and got horrible gas mileage down the interstate for about 55...
Will the 275/40-17 Nitto be much narrower than a goodyear 275/40-17 on the stock rims? any pictures? I don't want the rear tires looking anorexic compared to what I have on the front of the car.
I have yet to find to try a tire brand other than BFG that runs as wide as GY. My Yokohama AVS...
Ok, here are the symptoms. When I load the car and try to get it to make power, the car stumbles as if traction control just kicked on. It's like the spark is turned off or the fuel is completely cut off. If you don't pull your foot out of it quick enough the car dies. The car cruises around...
Hey all, I went to Brainerd drag strip in North Georgia tonight to test out the BFGs. I was able to try some more launching techniques and I think I am starting to figure it out. Ran my best 1/8th time tonight:
R/T .733
60' 1.880
330' 5.168
594' 7.402
1/8th 7.903
1/8th mph 89.80...
Hey all, I am going to try and pull the wheel hub this weekend so I can press out the stock studs and press in some longer moroso studs (I am going to install 1/2" hubcentric spacers to allow the mounting of 315 BFGs on 10.5" rims).
I have an axle puller. Can I use that to press off the...

Hey all. Here is the history of my wheel tire combo.
Started off stock 17x9 with 275/40-17 F1s all around.
Wore out the stock rear tires in about 4 months(12,000 miles). Got 315/35-17 nittos on two 17x10.5s for the back. Also bought 1"...
