The current Mustangs are hella popular in the US/North America. ABsolutely everywhere. More power than SS, and pushing some of the HSV's. I would assume lighter as well. Seem to be a pretty wide range as well. Looked like diff spec V8's, Convertibles, etc. I would have thought the current Mustang would do quite well here??

i think it looks phat, especially the side exhaust. would those pass the dB test??

Pity the 2005 Mustang runs a LIVE AXLE and 300hp (223kW, can't match the VYII SS's 245kW)!!!!  

But you've gotta love the historical significance of the paint job, GO PARNELLI JONES!!!

the mustang has a live axle because apparently owners demand it(for what stupid reason i dont know) otherwise ford would have put a IRS on it..

(as read in current EVO magazine)

What a crock. Not saying you didn't read that mate; or that it was printed there. I'm saying :overthetopexamplealert:

HSV annonced today that they will dropping the power output of their entire range to 150kw only. HSV says this is because owners demand it. "They just don't want that much power," said HSV boss Bob Syauncle. "We are considering putting in a live front axle in the next models too. Not only will it be cheaper for us but customers demand it."

I suppose there's just as much stupidity in Australia, or any other country for that matter, as there is in the US but it must be that due to the size of their economy and media we just get it shoved down our throats all the time and it seems like the place is full of idiots.

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
