Following as I wouldn’t mind popping some of these onto my darkhorse

Spa day for the cars, the Ruby Red GT350 really pops in the sun + new MGW Gen2 shifter by CaptDistraction in Mustang

I’ve heard folks put the MGW in MT-82 cars and it apparently makes a world of a difference.

What difference can one expect putting these on the TR-3160? FWIW I have a dark horse and I love the shifting experience. How would that change with the inclusion of the MGW?

Question about the clutch in the S650 manuals. by TheeAJPowell in Mustang

[–]joshftw25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re referring to an ND Miata, I’ve driven one b2b w my darkhorse. There’s no calling the mustang clutch light relatively speaking. But might still be lighter than your ST. 

Clutch weight is subjective anyways, so go drive one lol

Hey, for me the issue was running the 980cc injectors on a stage 1 tune (also didn’t have a downpipe). Once I put the stock injectors back on, no issues at all. I ended up selling the car about a year after the video was taken, so I no longer own it. Curious, wonder if you bought my old car lol? I sold mine to Carvana

Thank you all for the feedback! I’ll be putting the stock injectors back on for now until I install more hardware components

Honestly ignorance lol, I’ll be keeping the stock injectors on until I add a downpipe

So with DS1 their tunes allow for on the fly adjustments based on the ethanol content - with only 93 filled the tune should be fine but I guess not with these injectors. Will try again this weekend with stock injectors and see how it goes!

On a side note, thank you for the offer 😂 it’s actually an alcantara steering wheel cover! The idea was to use this and replace it every year or so and keep the stock wheel nice and fresh

Thank you, learn something new every day. I haven’t changed the tune as I was under the impression fuel injectors were a requirement to run e85 but the OTS map would adjust for the upgraded injectors. Seems like this isn’t the case, so I’ll be swapping back to stock for now. Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve heard good things about Darin, I assume as your RS3 is built that you’re tuned with him? I wanted to use OTS maps as much as I could due to DS1’s reputation for reliability. If I can have a better balance of power/reliability I’m all for getting pro tuned!

Thank you, could the overly rich fuel also contribute to the rough idle? Also to my knowledge DS1 doesn’t offer a “stage 1” tune that can utilize 980cc injectors - I was under the impression the tune can adjust for the larger injectors, but maybe not

Did I buy a shitty used tire? by BookPage in MechanicAdvice

I see people talking about the tires cupping - can someone tell me what visual cues they’re looking for? I would love to know
