Here we focus on the performance cars of the forgotten variety, whether they be unknown hot hatches like the Rover 25/MG ZR, unsung heroes of the 90s like my 1998 Ford Mustang GT and any other forgotten legend we come across.

1998 Ford Mustang GT Vs 1960s Plymouth Barracuda MOPAR Euro nationals 2024
My 1998 Ford Mustang GT with a passenger Vs a 1960s Plymouth Barracuda 4 speed at the Santa Pod MOPAR Euro Nationals 2024
The Mustang has light bolt ons and a semi slick tyre where as the Barracuda has an unknown small block 4 speed set up.
The Barracuda unfortunately missed third gear in this race but I don't think that affected the outcome too much!

EBC Brakes upgrade for my '98 Mustang GT!
มุมมอง 472 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today I'm upgrading my brakes on my 1998 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SN95. I'll be replacing the worn out regular brakes with high performance EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and EBC slotted front discs/rotors. EBC brakes are a well known and proven brake upgrade for road and race vehicles. This should give the braking performance we all expect of a sports car
Tidying up the Ford 4.6 engine bay
มุมมอง 663 หลายเดือนก่อน
The SN95 Mustang 1996-1998 engine bay is so cluttered, so I want to re organise mine to make it more efficient whilst removing bits that I don't need or are known to fail, like the EGR systems. my goal is to minimise the amount of visible wiring, hoses and vacuum pipes by rerouting and removing what I can. I'm also trying to optimise heat dispersion from the engine bay and separate the area the...

Is it stock?
It's got light breathing mods
@@Forgotten_performance how much hp did that add? It’s cuz yesterday my dad was racing a car that has 280-300 in a stock 97 gt and he barely got beat so I was wondering if it has a little more than 215 stock
97 is 215hp stock, 98 is 225hp. Mines 267.6hp (Dyno run is on my channel). So mine has an extra 42.6hp
Maybe put it in GTE mode
Did you feel a loss of torque at low rpm? I'm going to put 135 cams in my 1.4 and I had this issue because I use the car to go on long trips
Massive increase of mid range and top end pull, no detrimental affects to low end. But then the 1.4 has no low end on its best day. They 90lbs ft of torque at 4500rpm stock and basically nothing before that.
@@Forgotten_performance thanks
What’s done to it? That’s well above what they’re rated for factory
@notaws6 Power mods are; K&N high flow filter 75mm throttle body Hand ported plenum - all casting marks removed, surfaces smoothed, throttle face opened up to meet throttle body better, intake face to manifold small notches in each corner removed and edges smoothed Egr delete MSD coil packs MSD wires Motorcraft platinum plugs Custom Airbox and intake pipe heat shield Custom airbox Bassani X-pipe Decat Magnaflow oval chamber catback Gotta have had a tuner on it at some point as no EML for decat and shifts harder than stock Pretty sure that's all of the mods!
@@Forgotten_performance badass man. not meaning it rudely honestly but kinda curious cause most PI’s don’t make that to the wheels with those mods especially threw a auto. Is it in 3rd gear? And is that a Dynojet or Mustang dyno?
@notaws6 it's all good bro! That's 267.6 crank HP, which is still incredibly good for a non PI car, I might have missed some small mods off the list but I'll try do a walk around video showing the whole set up if you'd like! It made 267.6hp at the crank and 214.4 wheel horse power, so 267hp and 214.4bhp. This was done locked in second gear in order to get a full rpm sweep and then corrected for conditions and gear ratios. The runs were done on an inertia Dyno but I didn't ask if it was Mustang Dyno or not as they aren't really terms is hear used in the UK so I forgot. I was incredibly happy with those numbers as I only expected around 245hp at the crank, however when compared to other Dyno videos I'm about 15hp-25hp above cars with similar set ups but less mods in total, often running a more restrictive exhaust and less airflow mods done in total. My car is also only on 93000 miles, so averages out to about 3500 miles per year over its life and its always been very well maintained.
This 7 gte s are now old, the battery is already dead. Hybrid cars maximum age is 5 years then its trash. But the 2nd gen gte is much faster
I have a GTE this is some real bs😂 didnt even push the gas😂
Foot was 100% to the floor, a key indicator of this is the traction control light flashing away as it kicked in to control power delivery
Nice car. What did you do to the 1.4 engine to get 135bhp? I have also a 1.4 engine in mine MG ZR but i want more power without swap the engine 😂
52mm throttle body, TF135 camshafts, high flow intake, full exhaust including manifold, had some cooling system upgrades, Bosch coils, NGK platinum plugs and an aggressive remap from Kmaps! Think that's the lot but it was a few years ago now
Push the GTE button first then try it 😅
Still isn't fast, shouldn't have to change all the modes either
In the normal hybrid mode he is driving it in. The engine and electric motor arent acting at performance level together. The GTE button is the performance button basically. Why wouldn'tyou want a car that does 100+mpg but can also do 0-60 the same as a GTI 🤷🏼♂️ @bluezr1357
If you can floor it for a good 5-10 seconds without achieving full power the car is pathetically pointless. I want to overtake but first let me reprogram every part of the car and driving modes....
@@Forgotten_performanceyou literally press a button right next to your gearstick to put in performance 😂
Or... Hear me out. It could just be sporty to start with
Love that purr of the engine👍👍👍
Can't beat the sound of a V8
I love it so much man I hope your having fun with it my sugestion is add a little carbon fibre if u don’t want to then know that ur car could gap loads of kids man
Carbon fibre is extremely expensive! A fibreglass bonnet for this car is £1000+ new, have you got any suggestions for what you would replace with carbon? I really appreciate the support and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 💪🏼
That's what we been telling him in the GC lol
@@Forgotten_performance what about a spoiler like a ducktail or smth (u don’t have to btw just suggestions) keep up good work
I have been thinking about something like that to be fair, it's got the GT spoiler on it now which looks nice but there's some really sharp looking aftermarket ones. A ducktail would be good as it's still subtle
@@Forgotten_performance (great minds think alike) but like you were saying it would look very good on it as like u say u were doing drag races so it wouldn’t be big and it would look really good
ngl i prefer to jack up on the jacking point at the center of the car or on chassis rails ps cant beleve it the MG rover vids are back les goo
The reason I didn't jack it up from the chassis rails is because with my jack and stands combination it's very tricky to get both in there together unless I jack the vehicle up from the point on the sill, and as my sills are strong why not right? 🤷🏻♂️ Depending what job on the car I'll be doing it'll be jacked up from different points and the stands placed in different point to give the best room and stability. Ps, MG Rover videos aren't something I plan to ever drop from the channel I've just been struggling to get content to make and finding time for editing.
@@Forgotten_performance fairs about the MG rover content but yeah about the cills working in the garage i have always had cars in general come in with the cills crushed or slightly crushed at least so i have always made it a point to try not to thats all
@Aptemafurry I've worked in the motor trade for quite a long time now mate, I understand the concern but that's from people jacking it up from the sill when the sill isn't the jacking point or when the sills heavily corroded. On MG ZRs and Rover 25s that pinch point in the sill is a pre-designated jacking point even shaped to fit the scissor jacks that come with the car.
@@Forgotten_performance yeah i know mate i just decided to stay away from doing it there as best as i could last thing i wanted was the dam apprentice crushing some costumers cill ha
Nice. Would've liked to see more of the car.
Well, if you'd like to see more I have many other videos uploaded of this car!
Ehh, yes it is actually
Not where I'm from 🤷🏻♂️ or compared to everything else on the road
idk seems pretty typical

Oi turn down that shopping trolley
That is with it turned down 😂😂 Best shopping trolley in the village I'll have you know

It's private land bro
@@Forgotten_performance I had to articulate my jelousy
😂😂 you're a joker bro
What engine do you have???
4.6 Ford Modular v8
Wow cool man
That’s sick
Thanks my dude
Do you like supra?
I'm quite a fan of the old MK3 supra, especially in black. But not the mk 4 or 5 to be honest
Yh the mk3 is really good and I think the mk4 aswell but the mk5 is just a bmw
Exactly, the Mk5 isn't really a Supra. We have one in at work and it looks like a great car but I'm just not a fan
I’m just wondering why is there plastic wrap round the steering wheel?
To protect it from me making it gruby with my greasy paws bro haha
Ha lol
Nice car man
Thank you bro
No problem man
Who the hell said that your mustang couldn’t spin its wheels it could probably beat the haters minis in a heartbeat
It’s brilliant by the way good job
Thanks man, It's really had a surprisingly negative response from a lot of people 😂 I don't understand the hate myself as it never seems to come from a place of logic or truth. The go to seems to be say it's bad because it has 200 and something BHP then compare it to a car 20+ years newer than it
@@Forgotten_performance don’t worry about them they are just haters who are jelouse bc they only have a mini while you over here has a brilliant mustang so keep up the good work also I subbed to u and love ur content
Thank you very much mate, really appreciate the support. Top man for subscribing too! If there's anything you wanna see or any questions you have just drop a comment dude
I will thank you
are these the oval larger magnaflows or then smaller competition bullets?
I'm not 100% sure to be honest as they was on it when I bought the car. They're not oval so I would presume the bullets
I just seen them in your other video my bad man, those are the ovals actually . why they are called oval idk lol. the bullets have less packing and a good bit louder. I'm dying to hear those Magnaflows with a set of Longtubes. I loved my Borla atak with the stock manifolds and cattless X but after longtubes my god is it in your face kind of loud.@@Forgotten_performance
Oh wow, well that's nice to know which they are, not that I intend to change them I love how they sound. You may have to wait a while but when I get the money to do longtubes I'll definitely do some uploads about it
a set of Longtubes does wonders
They are on the list for one day
nice shopping trolley
Don't be shy now jack! I hope you've got a really special car then?
@@Forgotten_performance i got a really nice bus pass

RAV4 phev does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds… hardly slow for a pretty large SUV
Haven't came across a RAV4 hybrid that can do that yet!
@@Forgotten_performance honestly crazy fast for a car of that size… also did you forget the gt86, gr86, gr supra, gr Yaris etc lol
Yeah 86s aren't fast at all 😂😂
@@Forgotten_performance eh but the gr supra and Yaris are very fun, especially the Yaris for the proce
Also the Lexus LC and RC series are quite speedy
1:13 Ok everyone this is what is known as F O R S H A D O W I N G ,ohh man
Oh man... You could say I jinxed it 😂
@@Forgotten_performance oh dam yeahh how is the other ZR projects going am starting to build a ZR for rallying just so happens its the ZR that held the FWD record in europe at satapod 900BHP or somethin from AN racing
No ZR for me currently, but still got my R25 which I'm dailying. Which has come miles since I got it as I've been repairing the rust, a few interior bits like the headliner and the engine. She's gone from very tappy on start up to being fairly quiet, bonus is it pulls very strong for a 1.4. Currently trying to convince the person buying the car from me to fit 135 cams
@@Forgotten_performance so i guess its worth it ? cuz i havent done it and a lot of people just said get a faster engine rather then making a slow one fast. whats your thoughts mate ?
It's easier and cheaper to make 140hp 1.4 than it is to make a reliable 1.8 120/160 swap. DM my Instagram @blue_zr_135 and I'll go through all the information with you. Main problem is the 1.8 requires a gearbox clutch and flywheel swap as the 1.4 gearboxes don't like the torque
Toyota/lexus are strictly made for reliability, longevity, & saftey ?? Not speed... wtf.. understand the assignment ???
They advertise sportiness and how the hybrid system 'boosts power'. And even then, it's not unfair to test and compare them to other similar vehicles. Even if you don't like the result
Maybe drive one that isnt a hybrid??😂
Which is basically none of the modern range they produce
Are you driving a performance model or just a standard sedan???? Wtf 🤡🤡🤡 youre generalizing with just the brand names
Correct
IFA anyone ? 😮🎉
Very rare and hard to find! Doubt it's slow tho
E10 oh hell no
They're fine for it but I don't often use it 😂
@@Forgotten_performance yeah it will run it but dam last week i had to stop at the only station for miles and they only had E10 95 and it reminded me back when i first bought my ZR as a rover before i messed about with it and how they ran it on cheap feul because the car just idled badly throttle response was worse it was down on power and torque MPG when i first got it was bad. put E5 99 as forums recommend to btw and DAMMM completely different car btw with a catback it burbles and will pop more swair
E10 from a good station won't hurt it, there's been plenty of discussion on the forums and groups about it. Even before the E10 change over from E5 they always ran better on premium fuel, however they don't need premium or 97/99RON Yours sounds like it was left with bad fuel in it and the extra detergents in the premium fuel is what fixed it
@@Forgotten_performance yeah well there isnt a difference i can tell with branded feul like shell V power compared to Tesco momentum but the premium fuel defo does have a difference again last week when i had no other choise it was down on power got to a feul station put premium and damm its noticeable like more then when you remove the derestricted throttle body on a R25 haha but thats just me and my car though.

I miss the 160typoon the wife had it was rapid
Mine was a 105 converted to a cammed 1.8, loved it so much! A 160 Typhoon is a rare car!
@bluezr1357 yeah man she was 1 of 32 i think
thing is it's actually not a bad ev suv, drives quite well and is infinitely better than its rival the model y, but ford fucked up so bad by branding it as a mustang. Literally just call it the mach e and make that its own new nameplate
It's a good car, and suprisingly fast. But it just isn't a Mustang, I don't even think the Mach name fits as that's from high specced high performance Mustangs
Usually the person in these videos is black
They usually involve excessive speed, donuts and a stolen car. Not a legal overtake
Y'all can have fun cars in the UK?
Few and far between but yeah
I got a 4 bangers that's quicker up hill than your stang.
I didn't actually ask but good for you I guess? 🤷🏻♂️
@bluezr1357 don't be like that mate. Did it hurt when you realised nobody cares about your v8? You overtook a fiesta what do you want a medal
I still didn't actually ask? 😂😂 if you don't care keep scrolling and go look at hybrids
🤡🔔🔚
So you just sit behind people doing half the speed limit do you? Or is a 1/3 of a mile long straight with no one coming not a safe place to pass?
@@Forgotten_performancerecording yourself overtaking someone while driving is pretty lame tho. Like the comments show, most people just think: what a lemon!
That mini missed gears so his pop and bang map kicked in 😂 or he's miss firing
Did that every time he shifted or revved
@bluezr1357 gotta be some kind of map, ya cant antilag a supercharger
@@jameshoath83 whatever it is it doesn't sound healthy for the engine
Was that a Renault Cleo you passed? Impressive stuff indeed.
Clio* and no, no it wasn't a Renault
Not with these gas prices
Bell end. Don’t recommend.
Yes definitely don't overtake slow moving traffic doing half the speed limit
That was slower than my 1.8 toyota 😂
Possibly, unlikely but possible 😂 any car can be fast with mods
@bluezr1357 its just a celica tsport with some breathing mods
Oh then definitely not 😂😂
@bluezr1357 Yeah, up hill by a second at least in your favour. Ive had a 0-60 on a racelogic of 7 seconds
So both going uphill I was a whole second faster on a mediocre run
You couldn’t do that until you got an open lane. Do that in opposing traffic next time, loser.
Are you a very small child or just an idiot? Why would I drive into oncoming traffic and have a serious head on collision when I can just use the passing lane provided... 'loser'
both are abominations lol

Of course!!!
Was just thinking the same thing in my 96 b2300 Ford was doing it good
Fords sound systems in the American models through the 90s are slept on massively, actually over here in the UK American cars are slept on massively in general
@bluezr1357 I get what your saying but my audi sounds way better
Highly doubt that, but each to their own.
Most Audis come with factory subs so I don’t doubt at all they’re better 🤣
I've got two amps and a sub factory so
