Hi everyone

Sending hearthly hellos' from Prague, Czech Republic. I've just came back from my vacation to Florida. Wanted to buy a new car for myself preferably a Beemer, but could't help myself and instantly fell in love with this beauty:

It is well maintained Stage 3 from late 2006 with only 1200 miles on odo. (Thanks Stephen for the love you gave this car

While I write it is boarding a ship and being carried to Prague.

I am gonna be a little of revelation among all of my friends Caterhams, CSLs and Porsches. Must say we don't do much of drag racing so this one is going to undergo some serious tuning for mountain twisties and track days .

I was thinking, by relying on info from this great forum, about:

1) Steeda Cold Air Intake
2) 2.57
3) Tune (now it gets tricky, we dont have good tuners here with any experience with charged stangs. Please who would you recomend to buy the tune from. Who can do a "DISTANT" custom tune matching our 98 - 100+ octane fuel)
4) Economy IMRC delete plates
5) Heat exchanger

Any suggestions and help will be most appreciated. As far as I know no stage 3 Roushes in Czech yet!

to everyone

Welcome to the FnFamily!

You found a beautiful Roush! Your mods list looks great too. The Roush suspension and handling will serve you well on the mountain twisties! Not sure about the proper tune, I'm sure somebody will chime in with advice for your fuel.

Welcome to the site and congrats on a beautiful ride! As for suspension not sure what changes you might make as the stage 3 set up is pretty terriffic already. Maybe some of the track pac stuff? Good luck!

Don't forget to send us some pics of the car when it finally gets home.

Welcome to the world of Roush! I'd drive it a bit first before changing the suspension & see what you think...it will surprise you as it is I bet...If you want more go with the Trak Pak parts. As it sets now you can get over 1G lateral no problem. Keep good tires on it...

I always LOVE to hear about your countrymen's reaction to one of our Mustangs! Let us know what they say! Have fun & send us pics often!

Thank you all for hearthly welcome!

I have driven my Roush for a week around Tampa (Stephen did let me use his insurance and plate). I made 600 miles on it, so I have a small idea whats it about and just can't stand the waiting .

I will keep you updated when it gets to Prague around early November. Hope to see some good weather around here. (If nothing else I will have good cold air for the engine .

Regarding the tires I have been using Toyo R888 for my previous cars with very good results. I am very curious how my Roush will "behave" with them. I can imagine with all wheels 275/35, the front will stick like hell and rear nicely oversteering under gas.

I have also noticed when under full brake the car weight goes to front a lot. Anyone installed the front/rear brake valve for better brake power distribution?
I've had it on my old car and it helped the car a lot. Car became planted to the road under heavy breaking and front pads were not so much over stressed.

Cheers,
Thevesh

Welcome to the site!!!

While I don't like the mail order tunes much I am sure one can be made up for you.

I have a 2006 stage 3 and have a HUGE list of mods for it. The 2.57 pulley and idler is a great option. One of my top ones for sure. The intake is good to, but I haven't done it yet. The intercooler is good for the track time when running the car hard for a good amount of time. There is heat soak that comes into play with these cars.

I would have to suggest some kind of exhaust upgrade. If at all possible to get the labor done I would suggest full long tube headers, MRT H-pipe, and Roush Resonator exhaust. With that car being so rare there, and I am pretty sure Mustangs are pretty rare all together, the muscle car sound will really serve you well to get extra attention.

If you want to spend more money, and make some extra HP cams would be cool to as you would get the old muscle car cam looping sound from the car.

For suspension, I upgraded the whole rear end set-up, nothing is left Ford but the Axle. I even changed to the Trac-Pac adjustable shocks and springs. I would suggest the Lower control arms, upper control arm (Wheel hop kit), and some LCA relocation brackets. This will tighten up the back end and give you better traction for sure.

I added a bunch more stuff to my car. If you want to check it out look here. Introduction, Engine, Undercarriage - Screaming Yellow 2006 Roush Stage 3 - 06Roush_St_3 - gotstang.com
