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.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
