Audio!
I can't drive this car at the moment, but I can sure talk about it!
Before getting started, I’ve always had a thing for audio systems. As a kid, I was given a JVC boom box that my father won in a competition. This was in the days where having dual cassette decks were the norm and CD’s...
So, price comparison between Herrod and Leviitown -
Leviitown - $591 + $190.86 shipping = $781.86 USD / $1187.48 AUD (basic conversion, import duty would be on top of that)
Herrod - $1150 AUD
Yeah, I don't read much into the performance gains on air filters, be that power gains or the actual air filtering itself. I just like the look of the Rouch setup and the fact it keeps the filters covered and not exposed. Tickford are the only ones who seem to be intending on selling it, but...
And while I'm on the rant, why is the aftermarket so bloody slow with S650 in Australia? Unless its something that transfers from S550, nothing is available for the car. There are things I would have already bought and fitted to the car, but unless you want to burn hundreds of dollars to put...
The import duty thing was more of a warning in case you end up adding a few things to make the shipping worthwhile. Buy the time its currency converted, the price would easily trip over the $1000 threshold. Stupid country we live in.
I was actually looking to buy the Roush air filter kit, by...
Cabinet Purge!
Plonked myself down on the bucket and reorganized my main chemical cabinet. I try to keep regularly used or rotated products in that cabinet, with bulk quantity and occasional use products being located in another cabinet, same for dud or demoted products.
So, after...
Was about to but decided to reach out to Herrod as they are the Australian Ford Performance distributor. At the moment, they only have the previous gen oil separators on the website, but apparently the S650 versions have been ordered.
Just a heads up, Herrod Performance have these on order and should be available soon. Obviously, you will pay more than the USD list prices, but won't be paying hundreds of dollars for shipping, or potentially import duties either.
A waffle weave towel is usually chosen for glass because of a lack of linting, so one of two things have happened.
- Did you wash the towel on its own or with other towels and/or fabrics? (I always wash microfiber towels together, but never with other fabrics.) This could mean you have...
I thought it was pretty obvious there was a speed limiter at play here. The thing accelerates quite strongly to the top of 5th gear, but once 6th is engaged, it hits an electronic wall. Actually, you can hear it too, the engine doesn't sound like its even trying once that speed is reached.
According to FordPass, I've done 198 km on 68% of the tank's capacity. That's from brand new and a full tank on delivery.
This was taken before the above figures, but the 21.6 L/100km has sat at the same level, I wear that like a badge of honor............................
READ: we filled the tank pre-delivery with 91 because it's cheaper, but it's totally fine for the engine though.......................................we hope.
Sync 3 and Sync 4 are similar but used very differently. In actual fact, I rarely ever used the touchscreen in the S550, save for selecting audio source. That was mainly because all of the main functions could be adjusted via those toggle switches, or physical buttons. The S650, everything is in...
My parents would have to pin me to the bed to give me injections. I only vaguely remember that, but I certainly remember a time when every single piece of food had to be checked and approved, lollies were for hypo's only.....................probably why I despise Barely Sugar now. I've since...
Would you believe that they gave us the line-lock and drift brake, but for whatever reason, they deemed remote rev too anti-social for the Australian Mustang's.
