OK, if that is the case, there's not much that would cause that. Bent strut rod, or other internal probs or the spring perches and top mount.

Very cool. Did you bird shoot with him?

If I was to make a partly educated guess, the front struts are binding on full or near full compression. But that would be weird with no suspension mods.

I got it after fitting the front cam, no clue why. Put it on charge and all's well.

Sounds great, post pics.

For me, that's the most impressive thing about even the GT. And it's not just the outright power, the feel and modulation is superb. Those Brembos are magic

Maybe because I've been in the trade, but unless it's a new, very obvious noise like conrod or main bearing noise or timing chain rattle, I wait to see if it gets worse. That's a sure sign something is amiss.

My insurer wanted to put an aftermarket screen on my last car. I disputed that on the grounds the car was still under warranty and I wanted an OEM unit so that there's no future issues with a non genuine one. They caved.

I had the great fortune to drive a Ferrari Dino 246 way back in the day. They said those things were like an arthritic old fart when cold. They weren't wrong, it was like using a crash box until the oil warmed up a few degrees. Probably wouldn't be a problem with modern gear oils.

I've never heard piston slap that sounded like a tick. It sounds like a slap.

There's always an oil thread/sh*tfight in forums. The biggest difference I've found was in a new Suzuki Bandit I bought. The shift was horrible, like kicking marbles with your foot. At 1000kms I changed from the Motul semi synth first fill to Mobil R4T full synth, and the shift was back to the...

We have wandering stock here too. Not too common luckily.

I bet going from 50W to 0W-20 will save a bit of gas.

It's also not a frog or a dog. :wink: BTW Where did frogdog come from?

Update. I wasn't too keen on the camera in this kit so I ordered a different unit from Aliexpress. Much better, less obtrusive, better image. Just make sure you turn the camera 180 degrees from it's supplied position.

We did a short trip last Saturday for lunch. On the way back the road was closed due to a cycle v car, so we had to do a long detour. I remembered a short cut I use to use 30+ years ago. It was funny as hell, the road was barely wider than the Mustang, there were cars a few hundred metres ahead...

yep, saw that.

But why does it have to be mid engine with all the compromises that has? The GTD has 50/50 weight distribution as it is. Maintenance access looks pretty good and some usable space for bags and such.

Absolutely. I don't get paid at all.

Same here. Too many Miss Daisey's slowing down the average, then having to accelerate back up to speed. At least Mr Coyote makes passing a very quick thing. It's almost a safety feature.
