🔧 BUILD Sprayin's 2013 Mustang GT

[Sprayin]

Stock airtube doesn't come even remotely close to fitting.

 

[Sprayin]

On?

Or off?

 

[IDAFC21]

I say on. Looks weird to me with it off

I say on. Looks weird to me with it off

Yeah that was my initial thought too.

 

[Mook]

On

 

[IDAFC21]

Because of that indentation my OCD cant cope with the fact that there clearly should be something there

 

[SleeperLS]

Custom sticker in its place?

Put a Ford oval in there

Put a Ford oval in there

I've seen picutures of that online, and it looks okay. I'm not sure which I prefer.

The blue looks a little out of place when everything is black everywhere.

Now you'll find out if you need a new clutch

Now you'll find out if you need a new clutch

We will see. That's not even on my radar, so I sure as hell hope not.

Once you start shifting at close to 8k you're gonna find out real quickly...lol

I'll be pulling my Exedy Mach 600 clutch/flywheel out soon and if its in good shape would be an awesome clutch for you. I've only got like 2k miles on it, but was slipping in 3rd and 4th on my car.

Gen 1 clutch doesn't like to shift over 7k, plate gets stuck down. With a clutch line, you can get to 7200-7300, after that its a no go and just starts tearing up the trans with guys forcing shifts. The plate gets stuck at high rpm, only fix is a clutch. Our go to for all motor, and even lower power centri cars is the Spec 2+. Great Street manors, easy pedal with clear engagement point, and holds. I did run a stock clutch on my '12 the whole time I owned it, but with running a cobra jet manifold, was limited to around 7300-7400 before I would be completely locked out from using the clutch.

 

[Dave M]

I was locked out at anything over 7k with the stock clutch. Did a McCleod stage II since it works with the stock flywheels, and zero issues now.

 

[Sprayin]

*Finally* had a chance to get back out in the garage and finish this thing. Busy time of year.

 

[GLIGTO]

I destroyed a shift fork power shifting with the stock clutch that wouldn't shift with anything less than blunt force over like 6k. Went with a Spec Stage 1 after (and a fresh, warrantied trans) and was a huge fan of that as I had no further lockout issues after that. Stock shifter, too. All that to say that I 2nd the earlier recommendation of going Spec Stage 2 for your car.

 

[Sprayin]

Won a waffle on some wheels for this thing over the weekend.

17x10 on the rear.

Just need to get some tires for it. Who here is in the know about tire height? Was going to get the ET Street R. The two popular sizes are essentially 28x12.5 and 26x12.5. Not sure if I wanna pony up for the 28 or if a 26 will work for this car.

Or maybe go with the ET Street R Bias since it's a banger car? That's a 28x11.5

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

sharp !

 

[IDAFC21]

O damn

 

[Mook]

Nice!

 

[Jeffs FRC]

I have some 28” x 6” Sportsman SR for the fronts if you’re interested.

 

[Dave M]

If you have 3.73's, stick with the 28 tire, and definitely the bias R.

Also, look into one of these to keep your axles in the proper location on those hard launches: https://www.cheperformance.com/products/che9l

 

[Sprayin]

They're here. Damn they look nice. Just gotta grab some tires now.
