  1. Driving Tips - Manual Transmission

    I disabled rev matching. Along with auto brights and auto wiper blades. By the way to minimize the wear of the clutch and mainly synchros, you need to double clufch when down shifting. I try to do it when I can. If I’m downshifting from 6th to 3rd, I do as follows: press clutch, shift into...
  2. Driving Tips - Manual Transmission

    Coasting in neutral is dangerous as you can get hit from behind and fly forward. If I’m stopping at a light I press the brake, and at the point that my engine would stall out, I shift in neutral and wait for the light to turn green again. Shifting into the first gear to anticipating the green...
  3. USA: paint and body inspection for warranty repair

    Thanks, but this doesn't mention Mustang. Hmm.
  4. USA: paint and body inspection for warranty repair

    Hello. I am trying to find a post somebody made regarding yearly body and paint inspection... can't find it. I remember reading that it's some policy that Ford doesn't really want to tell people about, so that they would not be blamed for factory defects, etc. I would like to know: 1. how...
  5. Did you get a discount on your S650?

    1. Costco has discounts for cars. I went to the website https://www.costcoauto.com/enterzipcode.aspx?gotourl=%2f and found a dealer, got their quote with all the fees electronically. 2. took the quote to another dealer, asked them if they'd beat it. they did. 3. took the quote to a third...
  6. For those that have their cars, are there any infotainment glitches or issues?

    For me the wired connection to my phone gives me audible glitches every time when running wired CarPlay. Music and podcasts have this skipping sound often enough. So I make sure to connect my phone wirelessly, then connect it to the charger cable—seems to work. Every once in a while an app...
  7. Front inner wheel well issues

    Nice! I would personally have used rivets. I know it would be more difficult to install it without using a lift...
  8. Buyer's remorse

    I had major buyer's remorse when I got my brand-new '07 GT, after like a year. There were water leaks, handbrake freezing in the winter, rattles, other annoying things like suspension squeaks. In the end I felt like I made a huge mistake getting this expensive car on a loan with so many...
  9. Squeaky brake pedals Is this Normal?

    That's normal. This is not a metal on metal rusty squeak, more like air rushing sound. Mine does that too.
  10. Water in the headlights assembly already?

    I just parked after a long drive in the cold and noticed similar condensation. This morning, it disappeared.
  11. Manual transmission, MPG with different drive modes

    Not a placebo... passengers noticed it...
  12. Manual transmission, MPG with different drive modes

    I don't have active exhaust... But the sound of the engine is still noticeably different on my base model GT.
  13. Remote Software Updates, Convenient? Or Bad News...

    Sorry you had to go through this! One of the first things I did was disable auto-update. Let them update it at the dealership, or at least when I'm at a repair shop. I've heard way too many stories about appliances getting updates and getting bricked. Live and learn I guess. "They've done...
  14. smooooth / sticky? clutch

    For me if I put it down, holding it down with the edge of my foot, then release it, it smoothly goes up; it doesn't immediately bounce right up. On my old Mustang, the pedal would shoot up immediately, without any smoothness. I could make it as rough or as smooth as I wanted to. Maybe we...
  15. smooooth / sticky? clutch

    the RPMs increasing... I've had that on my old Mustang. My car has like 500 miles. All I'm saying, is like you know those hydraulic door closing mechanisms... you can have it calibrated to close slowly and smoothly or slam right away. For me, the pedal releases more slowly that I would like...
  16. smooooth / sticky? clutch

    Hey guys. Today I realized that the clutch is definitely different than what I had on my 07. Basically if I drop the clutch, it doesn't let me "drop" it. The clutch pedal releases almost immediately, but smoothly, especially when it's almost all the way up. So as a result, I feel like the...
  17. Front inner wheel well issues

    As you can see, the hole is not just right in front of the tire, it's also on the bottom. The mud guard simply covers the front of it, leaving the bottom portion exposed. And stuff will still get inside.
  18. Front inner wheel well issues

    It still doesn't cover the bottom of the opening.
  19. Jacking up the car?

    so you put the jack into that opening in the black plastic, right next to the > arrow? thanks!
