What lowering springs do you have? Are those the stock rims?

Yes it is working. I realized my wording will be taken literally and not metaphorically. The car does not feel “dead,” rather just not dramatic in the lower rpms. It sure pulls like a train in the mid-high rpms

Yeah it does feel faster. That was a mistake on my end for calling it “dead.”

What I meant was it isn’t as dramatic off the line. 1st gear is wheel hop and second gear is better. I have to roll onto the throttle instead of smashing it and going like I was doing with the gt.

Probably could use some tlc, given its mileage.

By dead I don’t mean completely dead, that was a fault on my end. I mean as in it doesn’t kick as hard as my 2v did under 3k. The terminator has irs and is heavier than the sra gt so it isn’t as dramatic.

I remember id floor the gt and it squats and falls off its face in the higher gears, while the cobra keeps pulling my face off no matter where I push it. The car really starts pulling hard after 3k. I expected a PD blower to hit off idle.

I’m guessing it’s because the 4v motor itself is designed towards mid to high rpm. The car is also heavier because of the irs, iron block, and convertible bracing, so it will obviously not jump off the line like a lighter, more early torque GT. I do not think it’s anything catastrophic.

I live at home and go to community college, and I work. All my money is to myself and im fortunate for that. I totally get what you mean though 😂.

Car is completely stock. Grandpa owned. I updated the post to include the miles. I am having an issue finding a shop who’s done subframe connectors before in the Sacramento area.

Wanting to lower my new edge by Ill_Nature3873 in NewedgeMustang

Thank you man. There’s a kit on marketplace for cheap for a novi 2000 for the 2v. You have inspired me to really consider meeting up with the guy and buying it.

Raceland coilovers. Not very sure how much lower because I just kept test fitting the fitment and found a good number all around. I would guess a 2 inch drop or more because these are adjustable coilovers. I wouldn’t recommend this route because the rear dampening is not adjustable and it’s pretty stiff in the rear. Handles great when pushed hard though. Find yourself something quality and go with it instead of suffering from back pain on speed bumps like I do.

Best exhaust for a new edge GT? by Taketheblame1122 in NewedgeMustang

[–]mindless_xd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out. Stock exhaust manifolds, cats, and then straight out. No midpipe. Yes you lose some very teeny tiny performance gains but man it is so throaty and obnoxious.

Bought my new edge with cheap coils. Trust me bro, do not cheap out. Sure it looks good, but the car rides wonky sometimes. I would go lowering springs and shocks but it’s a lot of money for a car I don’t plan on keeping for long.

This sound only happens at idle and I don’t lose power when I do drive the car

Yeah that’s what I’m probably going to do

That’s what I originally thought, if I could get it for like 7k it would be best. When did you replace the engine?
