After eight years of owning a Honda Accord, someone unfortunately ran a red light and totaled my car. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and insurance paid me out…

I’ve never been a huge car guy, but ever since I was a kid, Mustangs have always caught my attention. So I figured, why not finally get one?
Today, I officially became the owner of a brand-new 2026 Mustang GT!

Coming from a Honda Accord, this thing is a whole different animal. 😂 It’s only day one, but I’m already having a blast!

Here’s to many years and great memories with this beauty! 😎💪

💬 Discussion Regret selling 2011 gtcs for what I sold it for

About a year ago I sold this 2011 gtcs with 75k miles 6 speed manual 3.73 package

0 damage to body except rock chips on front like all do

It had very worn tires

It had a newer transmission put in and new clutch

0 codes

Everything was OEM and factory besides very conservative mufflers

Well I wanted 19 then 18k but got desperate and sold for 14k after 3 guys bullshitted me

14 fucking K! After 3 months of having it listed and boosted on marketplace

Sold in September..

Nashville area.

Now I look for them on Facebook and never quite see this same one, usually modded to hell or over 100k

Was this a mistake?

❔Question Rough idle issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have a 2019 Gt and I love this car but every time I’m parked or at a stoplight my car starts idling rough. It first was only with the AC on but as it continued it started to do it when the AC is off and my car gets warmed up after a few minutes drive. Sometimes it gets to the point where it’s a violent shake and other times it’s a light shake. I’ve heard it could be a vacuum leak and I hear a hissing noise from the engine when I pop my hood and I can’t pin point tell a general area of where the hissing is but I can’t pin point it, and I’ve tried messing with the hoses and nothing was loose. I cleaned the throttle body (wasn’t very dirty) and I’ve seen that it can be a VCT solenoid but I don’t want to just throw a couple hundred bucks at it and be wrong. It’s my first mustang and I bought it cause genuinely I fell in love with it from the first drive. The kid that owned it before me did some stuff to the car and idk what all he did but as well Idk if it’s even tuned right either for the stuff he did. There’s no check engine light or anything to indicate that the engine is failing on me but I just want to get this issue fixed. I feel embarrassed when it feels like it’s going to stall out at a light or in a drive thru and I can hear my RPMs fluctuating

❔Question 700hp ESS Build Question

0 Upvotes

Helping my buddy with his build on a ‘17 GT S550, he’s getting the 700hp ESS supercharger kit installed and tuned. The only issue we are having is choosing a catch can system and what components are needed.

He really doesn’t want a VTA can but is worried that a closed loop system won’t alleviate enough crankcase pressure. The top of the list pick is the UPR dual kit. Since it’s still routing back into the intake it should be good right? Or is VTA required for this power level?

I have a decent understanding of the whole PCV system but I don’t understand how different areas of the engine change to/from vacuum and what needs to happen to the PCV system to make it safe and reliable.

TIA

❔Question 2017 Mustang GT 5.0 – Consistent ticking noise ONLY at idle, disappears immediately with slight throttle. Any ideas?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,

I own a 2017 Ford Mustang GT with the 5.0L Gen 2 Coyote V8, and I've been trying to figure out a strange ticking noise coming from the engine.

Here's exactly what I've noticed:

- The engine makes a consistent, rhythmic ticking or light rattling noise at idle.

- The ticking is evenly spaced, not random or intermittent.

- As soon as I slightly press the accelerator and raise the RPM to around 900–1,000, the ticking completely disappears.

- The moment the RPM drops back to idle, the ticking immediately returns.

- It sounds almost identical whether the engine is cold or fully warmed up.

- The idle RPM remains stable, with no noticeable fluctuations.

- I can hear the noise from both sides of the engine.

- In the attached video, I revved the engine to approximately 3,000 RPM.

I've looked into the common Coyote "typewriter tick," but from what I've seen, that noise often seems more irregular than mine.

I've also come across discussions about timing chain tensioners, cam phasers, injectors, and even rod bearings, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

My main question is: Has anyone experienced this exact behavior, where a consistent ticking noise completely disappears with just a slight increase in RPM and immediately returns at idle?

Does this sound like normal Coyote engine noise, or could it indicate something that needs attention?

I'd especially appreciate input from Coyote owners or Ford technicians who have encountered something similar.

Thanks in advance!

❔Question What’s this cable?

It’s late and I am tired from doing dynamat on my door and installing new speakers. I cannot figure out what this is for. 🥴 My new mid range and 6 1/2” are working so it can’t be the speakers and I can’t see anywhere on the door that this fits into. How did I end up with this extra cable? I don’t wanna put the panel back on and then realize something isn’t working.

❔Question Struts and lowering springs?

0 Upvotes

So a bit of context…

About a few months ago I got some really cheap coilovers that worked for a while…until yesterday when they broke on me. So now I’m looking into struts and lowering springs. I don’t have a huge budget, maybe SR performance? Or touring tech? Just need something to keep me afloat

❔Question Best mods to improve how tame the car feels when accelerating at a lower rpm

8 Upvotes

I have a 2022 Mustang GT with the 6 speed manual, with a 3.55 rear end. Any of you who own a 6 speed probably know what I mean when I say that the gearing is way to tall for the car. Maybe a performance pack would have been the better choice bc of the 3.73 rear end?

Im looking for advice on how to make the car feel more peppy and shove you in your seat better without having to rev it out like crazy. I have considered rebuilding the rear end and going to a 3.73 or a 4.10 rear gear, but I feel like maybe that is a bit extreme? Has anyone had good luck resolving this issue with getting a tune on their car, or perhaps a bigger throttle body?

Wife wont let me spend 10k to supercharge it right now so thats off the table.. for now lol

❔Question Outdoor Convertible Maintenance

Hi guys! I just got a 2010 Mustang Convertible and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips for maintenance as it is going to be my daily driver. I live in a townhouse complex, so it will not be garaged and the weather here can be all over the place- snowy winters, some rain, hot summers, etc. I’m trying to research and read on what to get to best protect the vinyl and exterior and there are mixed recommendations on using a cover when not in use during the day and night and just leaving it uncovered and using protectant. Let me know if you have any experience or advice, I really want to maintain it well and keep it in good condition.

Been having a weird noise coming from my clutch the last week that sounds like a vent trying to open/close, thinking it was maybe something else, but was driving to work this morning and couldn’t feel the bite point anymore, I’m guessing my clutch has left the building. Anyone got some ideas?

Long story short: I am having to get a lawyer involved due to needing a 2nd reman (3rd engine) in this car due to some issues with the original repair facility. It has taken corporate 3 months to make a decision to finally replace under their parts/labor warranty, but I’m not satisfied with their responses.

I need to hire an independent, 3rd party inspection company to take a look at the engine they’ve just removed & torn-down to verify failures of their own volition so I can have evidence outside of solely their internal technicians. I live in the San Marcos TX area. I’ve found a few online, but I’m really looking for someone who has expertise specifically with these coyotes. Any help anyone can lend is greatly appreciated!

Help a newbie out! 🏎️

Hey everyone!

I’m currently torn between RTR and MP Concepts for my Race Red Mustang S650.

I’m specifically looking at upgrading the front chin spoiler and side skirts, but I can’t quite decide which brand to go with.

For those who have installed either brand, I’d love to hear your thoughts on fitment, quality, durability, and overall aesthetics.

I’m aiming for a clean, aggressive look without going too overboard.

Would also appreciate some photos of your setups for inspiration!

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

❔Question I was told this was my catalytic converter, ever have this before?

So I went into the shop because of rattling. This is what it sounds like. I first noticed it today when it was prettty cold, it's like when it warms up it goes away or a lot less noticeable after driving a bit.

Anyways the shop I took it to said they believe this is the catalytic converter. I got the car in january, and the carfax said last year the cat converter was replaced. So i called the shop today to ask them what they did last year, and they said they added in part number 54959 which is a universal magma flow Catalytic converter. The shop I went to today said if I order it, they'll put it in for me and said it should by all means remove the rattle.

They did use a boroscope and saw nothing wrong in there like the honeycomb or anything, but they would show me when they'd punch it you could hear a rattle, so their recommendation is just replacing the whole cat. They said if i order the same part for $90 from magma flow, they can put on for just $100. But has anyone used magma flow? If so how would it break down after just a year and 3000 miles, if that's truly what is causing the rattling?
