    Exhaust Sounds Through Speakers?

    Exhaust Sounds Through Speakers?

    A little off topic but I saw a show where they installed Borla external speakers and amp on an electric mustang. Sounds like a V8 of course. IMO that would be way to embarrassing to drive[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recall Rear Bolt Fracture?

    Agree you would have to pull the crossmember to fab the new bushing in. For somebody with fab skills it does not look too hard to do but like mentioned, at that point the aviator crossmember is easier albeit more expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recall Rear Bolt Fracture?

    You can definitely replace the whole crossmember with a 4 bolt so long as you have the second hole on the diff cover. I did this a couple years ago. As far as adding the 2nd bushing yourself, should not be a problem so long as you can get the 2nd bushing and have the 2 bolt diff cover or get...

    Should not have to. I have updated a number of modules. So long as it’s not the ecm you are gtg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When is a tune needed.

    IMO none of those mods require a tune. No problem waiting until you are done. That way you don’t need to run a log every time you add something. I did my tune with intake, exhaust, and intercooler. Then when I finally did the downpipes I ran a log and got an updated tune. Sent from my iPhone...

    Time to hit the road again.

    Your cheeks must hurt from that 40k. More times than not I found I had a shit eating grin in my face in the twisty high speed highway roads[emoji23]. Really impressed with the ST for what it is. Definitely a blast to drive with light traffic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Time to hit the road again.

    Transmission temp 195 F

    I have never not checked automatic trans fluid at operating temp in any of the many vehicles over 45 years. My shop manual for my ST specifically states to get it up to operating temp. Per usual, we should all do what we think is best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tinted ST pictures

    Yup. Had a choice on the fronts to go a tad darker or lighter than the rears. I went with a tad lighter in the hopes of avoiding a fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission temp 195 F

    Agree. Also cruising in overdrive with the converter locked really keeps the temps down compared to flogging her. Did a round trip to Hilton Head, 3000 miles, and I had no trouble heating up things on the twisty mountain roads[emoji23]. ST is really impressive for what it is and I’ve road raced...

    Tinted ST pictures

    Matched front to back and 20% in windshield. Also tinted sunroof for heat rejection. Can’t tell the windshield is tinted at all and I’ve never had a problem in 30 years tinting the windshield. These days you get 95% heat rejection even with clear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission temp 195 F

    That sounds about right for normal driving. If you start unlocking the torque converter in stop and go or towing you can get the temp to climb over 200. When I change trans fluid I put the trans in drive, hold the brake, and let it run at 1500-2000 rpm and the trans gets up to 195-200 in about 5...

    10r60 transmission pan upgrade

    I have not noticed any cooler trans temps with my PPE pan. It increases capacity which is the primary reason I installed it. I’m guessing it helps on a hot day but in normal temps and normal driving I never saw a change in temp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to clean/treat dashboard?

    Another 303 fanboy here. Been using that shit on everything. Car plastics? Patio furniture, awning, anything outside. Excellent UV rejection properties and not shiny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New rotor / brake pad break in

    That contact patch looks awfully small on the rotor. Since bedding is critical to brake performance and longevity I would consider doing it again. You can clean the rotors by doing several high speed braking events back to back. I usually do three 80-20 hard braking events back to back. You...

    Trans. dip stick

    Looking above the dipstick I could see no room for a tube. I put a PPE pan with a drain. I drain and measure how much came out and put the same in and save the hassle of the dipstick next to the hot exhaust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
