    2012 25k miles AC issues...

    I recently started noticing my car was taking a while to cool off. It isn't my daily otherwise I might have discovered it sooner as I mostly just drive it in the morning on weekends, but basically there is a noticeable difference between passenger vent and driver vent air temperature...

    Half mile airstrip racing results

    Last month I participated in a ½ mile airstrip event for the second time in my bolt on 2012 Mustang GTCS. The previous year I was running a different 93 tune, stock all season tires and the interior was removed (175 lbs removed). This time I had an AED tune, Michelin super sports and left...

    New DD

    I've been needing a "work" truck so I could stop running the miles up on my 2012 5.0. So I found this 2001 Tacoma Prerunner SR5 with 160k miles. Now I've got something to drive around that I wont be concerned too much with scratches, dings etc or putting lots of miles on it. I've only had...

    Carrabelle Speed Festival

    I went to a 1/2 mile airstrip event this weekend in my 2012 Mustang GT. It was a lot of fun and there were some seriously fast cars there. I managed 138mph in my tune exhaust 5.0 but some notable speeds were: UGR TTG 186mph GTR 179 Topspeed GTR 176 Cammed viper 165mph Here is a...

    Strano Suspenion Package Installed

    After doing research for a while it seemed that the most popular setup with best reviews for suspension was the koni str.t and steeda springs setup that Strano recommends and sells. So that is what I did, the Handling Package 1 (sport springs) and gt500 strut mounts. I didn't get a panhard...

    JLT CAI Testing with GPS Box

    I didn't think I would get to do this until Saturday morning but I ended up getting it done this afternoon. Just as a recap, I've used my GPS box to test my o/r h pipe, tune and k&n filter previously so this isn't a new procedure to me. My 93 Tune came in at 18-20 hp, the o/r h pipe was...

    Parts Catalog (Passenger seat bolts)

    I've tried using fordparts.com or whatever it is to search for the part number for the passenger seat bolts/nuts that mount it to the floor but no luck. Anyone know of a better searchable catalog of parts of our mustangs? Thanks

    Editing Gopro files

    Just got a Hero2 and i'm trying to do a little editing of the mp4 files it produces but I can't find any editing software for windows that supports mp4. I'm using VLC to play the mp4 files, but movie maker doesn't support mp4, how are you guys with gopros editing your files? Thanks

    Mounting Gopro

    I got a gopro and I've been playing around with where to mount it. Right now I'm using the suction cup mount to the windshield, but obviously this limits the peripheral. Any tips on good locations/ways to mount these? Thanks

    2012 Mustang GT CS vs Challenger SRT8

    I've seen this same challenger srt8 (6.1) several times on the way to work but never was there an opportunity to do any comparative driving. Finally this morning I spot it turning left onto the highway I'm on so I slow down to allow him to catch up. He catches me and drives on by, there is a...

    Wheel info

    I have a black '12 GTCS and I want to get a set of wheels. I like the CS wheels except that they are only 8.5" wide and thus the widest tire you can put on them are 255s which looks narrow. My criteria are they need to be light. I think the stock CS wheels are around 28-30 lbs. I'm going...

    New 60-130 Time

    I know most people with mustangs are more into the 1/4 mile than roll racing, but maybe some enthusiasm for 60-130 pulls for mustangs can be built! I posted my baseline when my car was stock of 14.05 seconds. Atmospheric conditions: 68F, 30.02, 80% humidity, sea level Then after adding...

    H-pipe + tune Pbox results

    An h-pipe and tune are advertised to be ~40hp combination. So being an analytical type I pulled out my calculator and recalled some physics equations and got started with some test procedures for verifying real world gains from the mods as I put them on. I saw a good 4-5% increase with...

    Lethal H-pipe on!

    Ok, my lethal h-pipe is on and it sounds awesome! Just cruising you probably can barely notice any difference in volume but once you give it gas it sounds nice and deep and the perfect volume for me. Not ridiculous but louder than stock. I'm running everything stock except the h-pipe...

    2012 Mustang GT vs STI

    I've had my car about a month and hadn't had a chance to race anything with it yet. I've just done some solo pulls with my Pbox to get some baseline numbers though. It is still bone stock, but I've got my lethal h-pipe sitting in my garage waiting to be installed as soon as my tune shows up...

    2012 GT Baseline with Pbox

    I'm not sure how common/popular Performance Boxes are here but they are used in other car circles so I bought one and got my baseline for my car. The PBox is a 10hz GPS receiver that logs your telemetry (position vs time) and allows you to analyze and dissect your performance before and after...
