@razorwired ..... agree with the options you want - great choices. I have seen the Cs and don't like the side stripe (never have on stangs) really dislike the blue "nostrils" at the front and the weird blue edged rims. The blue stitching on the seats was ok. Cars are so personal but since you...
@Gregs24 ..... agreed Greg, our vehicles have been ratting on us to manufacturers, insurance companies and data collection re-sellers for some time but in this case Hyundai is alleged to have sold the kid a "track package" then denied coverage when he tracked it. He said he had never been told...
Hyundai just made the news where I live and not in a good way. They sold a young guy one of their rice rockets with the Hyundai "track pack". Guess what - the kid took it to a bona fide track. Go figure? At some point - very low mileage and very few months the car developed engine problems...
@Mikestang24 ..... If you are in or will visit an area that you think you Mustang will be stolen I have a couple of respectful suggestions. The only way to guarantee no theft unless your vehicle is flatbedded is to install a kill switch. My insurance company will "one time" deduct the cost...
@glenng6 ..... good for you! As my grandfather used to say "You can only teach an old dog a new trick if it's smart enough to learn one." Of the many things I appreciate about this forum the one I appreciate the most is that I learn something every time I open it up! :cool:
@wilkinda65 ..... sorry to hear this. The guys are 99% likely right with valve seals. Bluish smoke is definitely oil. Likely as simple as a miss formed valve stem seal at a 12:1 compression ratio this would smoke. In simpler days pulling plugs would confirm but coil packs are more of a pain to...
@glenng6 ..... we all have our specific approaches to our vehicles. As someone who used to build high performance engines we never added anything that there was not a specific need for. Ford does not call for any additives for this very, very sophisticated engine. Most good brands of gasoline...
@glenng6 ..... I too have a 2024 Mustang GT premium convertible. What makes you think you need a gasoline additive? I can get 91 and 94 where I live. Mine runs perfectly on 91. Can you not get decent gas?
@20ducks ..... @cosmo73 is not only correct but to do the job correctly you will need muchos dinero. There are several DIY coatings you can apply after you degrease, sand and clean with acetone then alcohol. Those coatings will not be affected by heat but brake fluid will dissolve them. The only...
@Zcarmenb28 ..... actually the guy who pulled up beside me said the Camaro exhaust sounded like fire crackers in a can. IMO the Camaro exhaust sounded like the death rattle of marbles in a tin can. Silly post maybe, it's an opinion you are entitled to. My opinion is the latest years of Camaros...
@JAM486HP .... right on. My dealership knows that NO one is to be in my Mustang without either me or the service manager (my friend in it). I can't count the number of knuckleheads from dealerships I see shuttling cars and driving them like the state police were a block away.
@roket .....exactly, well said! The guy who was in the news was no where near the end of his oem warranty period. His point was when he purchased that extended warranty he knew the dealer was making a tidy profit and he thought that would also buy him some "good will" along with the extra...
My 2 cents about oil based on experience and conversations with my uncle a shell oil chemist (retd.) ALL oils contain some synthetic or they would never pass epa mileage tests. ALL major brands use decent base stocks. The differences appear when the VI (viscosity improver packages are packaged...
@LuckyGuy ..... congratulations. Long time Mustang owner here. Use Ford oil of the viscosity your manual recommends. I ALWAYS use FULL synthetic. DO NOT let a synthetic blend anywhere near that beautiful engine!!!!!!! You can purchase FULL synthetic Motorcraft from any Ford dealer. I buy it from...
Here's one for us all. Form Canada on last night's news. If I have this all correct - a young university student with some cash bought one of the new Hyundai "rockets" he selected the track package and purchased 7 year 140K extended warranty. He has taken better than OEM recommendations for...
@8915GT. ..... no. What I was told by a Ford tech was drilling out the front grille "could" void the engine warranty if doing so changed the induction stream by allowing rainwater during driving to soak the filter elements allowing water, water vapor or water mist into the engine combustion...
@roket.....appreciate your comments and respect your opinion. Your comment is the key "drilling out the grille will not on its own void a powertrain warranty". I absolutely agree. I may not have expressed myself well. My point was the effect that altering the grill has was altering the engine's...
@DemonWorks ..... there is a video on youtube that is a number of months old. I think the guy calls himself "junk yard garage" in the video as does exactly as you say and I think he likes the sound better but finds no actual quantifiable difference in acceleration but that is NOT my point. A...
