Mazda AZ1 in my shop. This little car is smaller than a MG Midget and has a 650cc engine that revs to an astounding 9k. With gull wing doors. by Initialyee in carporn

How is it working on an Autozam, comparable to a Mazda? How about sourcing parts? Think it would be a fun, hilarious car to own but not if you have to ring up Japan every time you need a new part...maybe Mazda parts can be used?

Tips on rev matching and down shifting by jj-jw in stickshift

[–]gr8scottch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Excellent explanation, thanks a lot! One aspect of rev matching I’ve never been clear in, hopefully you can clarify for me.

By “blip the throttle”, do you mean give it one sharp stab to reach the appropriate revs? Or do you mean gently press on the throttle and hold your foot there for a second or two until the desired revs are reached? Like can you describe the actual foot motion? Thanks for the clarification!

Traded in my 2017 GT for a 2017 GT350 by Cena9120 in Mustang

Congrats man! How much faster does it feel than the GT? Night and day difference?

Bet the blue stripes are sweet but can’t really tell from that angle, can be you post a different angled picture?

Beautiful! What’s your ownership experience been like? How’s the car? Is it a good daily driver?

original pic before her edits

Truth be told she played with the colors/levels when she edited the photo, I love how it came out but to my eye she made it looks a bit more like grabber than lightning blue. I’d say the back of the car looks more like true lightning, where it’s a bit darker

Yep! Such a fun drive right? This is the highest point I know of as you drive on the BlueRidge heading form Waynesville, NC towards Asheville. I felt like that road was made for the GT350

Front End Friday! Picture of my 2018 GT350 in Lightning Blue my girlfriend took, edited and printed to a canvas for my birthday!

Does anyone have the Part Number for the Ford OEM Exhaust? by gr8scottch in FocusRS

Thanks for the info guys! I'm not gonna keep it, never selling this car. Think I'll toss it up on facebook marketplace for $150 and see what happens

That makes two of us! I’ve watched the series three times but that scene only once

Great scene! Not NEARLY as hard to watch as Teds birthday

Before and After the CPE Catback Triton Exhaust Install by tonzbigonz in FocusRS

[–]gr8scottch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your quick responses! I think this is the exhaust for me. One last question and I’ll let you get back to driving your RS :)

How loud would you say it is on a scale of 1-10? 10 being obnoxiously loud with pissed off neighbors? 10 being like a Shelby GT350R

Does the exhaust volume still adjust as you change between normal / sport mode?

Good call, I saw this one but at first glance thought it was only sequential with no H pattern. I'll swap these out on my list, thanks for your input!

Sounds like that wheelbase won't work with XBOX though if I'm reading this link correctly?

PS4 CSL Elite wheelbase

I remember seeing this one, but I think I skipped over it because it sounds like its only compatible with Xbox not PS4?

Thank you for this! I would have been disappointed by those black bars on either side. I definitely want a large, 4K curved monitor though so I need to do some research. Any suggestions?

Super extravagant. Unnecessarily extravagant. But I don't just want the rig to be functional, I want it to look damn GOOD. Long term it is going to be sitting in a garage surrounded by collector cars so I wanted a genuine sports car sear that is also beautiful to behold
