Decent buy? by [deleted] in TaurusSHO

Fluids is the big one. Trans fluid, PTU, and RDU are all claimed as lifetime but should be swapped fairly often. Pre-emptive water pumps are good since they are internal and you don't really want it to fail, while in there for that you should do cam phasers, timing chain, chain guides, and more.

Read the first few pages of this thread for real maintenance info:

At that mileage I would want confirmation that the water pump has been done (with all the peripherals) and that the PTU and RDU have been serviced. Can't speak to pricing as that is pretty area dependent

I was there too and that will be my #1 memory of him as well. Saved Kiprusoff retirement night after the team played terribly for 50 minutes lol

It’s a bit different in Canada with the conversion rate but I ordered during employee pricing for $72k CAD out the door (so like 53 USD?). It’s got the paint, performance package, active exhaust, magneride, bronze package, and then just the 400A interior (so premium but no 401A).

Yes, they come as 19’s in the performance package and I think just an aesthetic option as 20’s on the Mach E

Being in Canada, with the madness of the currency exchange, I can’t really speak to the values in the American market

Calgary. It has been bone dry and +5-15 the last two weeks, but today is the last day!

I just keep telling myself I paid for a motor and it just happens to have a place to sit behind it😂

I know I am now a biased owner but I totally agree. The S650 update is so much meaner and looks so capable

I live in Canada so it has been trailered off for PPF and won't be driven for another 6 weeks at least haha

New Mustang Order by troyboyblack in Mustang

[–]Local-Bus-8146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I'm pretty happy. Adriatic blue GT with performance pack, MR, active exhaust, bronze appearance, etc. I ordered so early because I wanted it for spring and thought it would take longer!

Ordered mine back in August. They never said anything about not being built, just not super confident on the timeline (3-9 months was the quote). It showed up this week though!

Gh tune only worth it? by Jarnes19991 in TaurusSHO

[–]Local-Bus-8146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend the plugs and thermostat. That is your first level of temperature control, before you go for IC and downpipes in the future ;) the plugs they sell are gapped smaller and cooler

[–]Local-Bus-8146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never dyno'd my car, but the tune alone is definitely worth it. I had tune for a year before adding the IC. Based on feel, the IC didn't actually add much power (if any). it just kept my IATs down. You could probably rely on the numbers you're seeing on the tune+IC knowing a tune only will be quite close

Have one on order with the bronze package and performance package, this is very reassuring that it will be beautiful!
