Project Car: SC/302 - Engine Bay Cleanup

Looking Good!

There are a few simple ways to freshen up your engine bay. First you'll want to find a theme. My engine bay theme is black/sliver, with a slight hint of blue. Since I'm in the middle of tearing down my engine, I have all my brackets and accessories off of my car. I decided that I would sand them all down and put a fresh coat of paint on everything. I used an aluminum colored and black Rustoleum paint for this project. Here's how everything turned out.

How To: Mount A Spoiler

Ever bought a spoiler or other fiberglass accessory for you car and suddenly realised that you had to no possible way to mount it? No bolts, no nothing. Well here I'll teach you how, since the same thing happened to me.

First, take an empty roll of toilet paper or paper towels. You only need the carboard. Cut a circle off the end, this is used to contain the fiberglass resin. The cirle only needs to be 1/4 inch or less. You don't need much. Hold the cardboard secure using a hot glue gun. This keeps your mold in place and keeps the liquid fiberglass from leaking out.

Next you'll want to cut an area for the bolts to mount on the other side of your trunk, bumper, etc. In this case its my trunk.

Figure out what length of bold you need to fit through to the other side. You'll need some elevator bolts such as these. Elevator bolts have a flat head and work perfectly for this application. You'll also want to secure some fastening hardware. Washers and locking washers are a great addition to help secure your spoiler.

Next mix your liquid fiberglass with hardner and pour it into your cardboard mold. Fiberglass takes a long time to dry, especially in colder weather so there's no need to rush. Fill the mold about 1/2 way full of fiberglass and stick the bolt into the resin. Move it around to get a nice coating of fiberglass. Once you've got your bolt exactly where you want it pour a little more fiberglass into your mold to secure it.

Repeat the steps and you'll soon have all your bolts mounted and ready to go! You should wait at least 24 hours before you try to bolt on your spoiler just to make sure the resin is dry.

2011 Mustang GT500

The unveiling of the 2011 GT500 happened today, February 8, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. in Dearborn, MI. A few suspected that because of the new 5.0 for the base GT model, the GT500 may get a supercharged version of the new 6.2 that is featured in the SVT F150 Raptor. But no such luck.

There is good news though, the supercharged 5.4 block is better than it has ever been. The 'new' 5.4 is an all aluminum block, and weighs 102 pounds less than the old 5.4. Also featured on the new block is Plasma Thermal Cylinder Liner Technology. This eliminates the iron cylinder liners, and creates less friction within the engine. This Plasma Lining Tech also reduces heat produced from friction, resulting in lower engine operating temperatures. A larger intercooler for the supercharger also helps keep this block a bit cooler.

The new engine also produces 550hp, and 510lbs of torque. Torque remains the same while it gains 10 horses due to a 32% less restrictive exhaust system. The new engine also takes an idea introduced on the new 5.0 engine, and uses an intergrated oil pan gasket/windage tray, which controlls oil flow into the primary pickup tube, and keeps oil from splashing up onto the crankshaft. The 2011 GT500 also increases gas mileage to 15cty/23hwy, which eliminates the gas guzzler tax.

The 2011 GT500 also comes with a performance package which includes 3.73 rearend gears, and even further upgraded suspension peices. This performance package also includes new, thinner stripes reminiscent of 1960's racing and the original Ford GT40. Ford has also increased airflow to keep the car glued to the ground, providing more downforce than the 2010 GT500, but in consequence also creates slightly more drag.

Ford has also teamed up with GoodYear to produce a high performance tire, which is the most advanced road tire available on the market today.
