Where is "GCC"? I suggest that you stay stock (as you mentioned) as long as possible before spending all of that time and money. The car is pretty darn good right out of the box. You could perhaps improve the sound system, if that's of any interest.

My thoughts are that it's just another opportunity for a leak, as noted above they tend to stick out lower than the pan, potentially getting sheared off, and is it really that difficult to remove a bolt? Messy, yes, but nothing compared to removing the filter. Speaking of which, wouldn't it...

My opinion is really only valuable to me, it's what you like that matters. That said, I prefer the silver wheels and think that style will look fabulous. I would exercise caution on the increased offset so that you don't end up looking like some kind of silly ricer wannabe. Unless the wheels...

My condolences. I had forgotten about the tensions. Rest assured, we Americans love our neighbors to the North despite the rhetoric occasionally spewed by some people. You really shouldn't have any problems coming over or getting back home, eh?

What happened?

When I tracked my S550 GT non-PP I immediately discovered that the OE brake rotors were not very well (if at all?) vented, which was a major issue. I changed them out for some aftermarket ones (Steeda, perhaps?) and used G-Loc pads which I did not like at all, and added ducting. I then changed...

First, let me explain that I am 64 and retired. So time is not the problem although age could be. Second, I bought the DH with the intent to take it to the track occasionally. It's already been to VIR twice and I've got an event at Roebling Road scheduled in April. It is stock and shall...

This is not one of those earth-shattering things that will cause me to create numerous threads complaining about it and make me sell the car... but it would nice if I could not see that disclaimer after I start driving that warns me about data collection. I've turned off OTA updates, but I...

Do you folks not find that these kind of pans cause a lot of splashing and make a mess? Instead, I have one like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lil-17972?rrec=true Yes, you have to be more careful, but I don't transport the oil in it, instead, I pour it into old 5 qt. containers and...

Thanks for the link, but I think some of the best (worst) come from Russia, where, apparently, traffic laws are just a theory, not a practice. My favorite compilations are from this guy below, with amusing commentary. I don't recognize the accent, I'm not sure where he is from. If someone...

I hear you and I sympathize. However, seriously, those are pretty minor complaints overall. And I've experienced some of those same issues as well, and I got over it. Ask me about my Cadillac, which had a not-uncommon problem with the power windows not working, randomly. Or the...

If you are a supporting vendor, you should include a link!

I highlighted the items above that I believe are present in the non-HP dark horse. Although we only have one tow hook...

I concur. I swapped the rear sway bar on my S550 in the driveway and although it didn't require being on a lift, it was still a major PITA lying on my back on the concrete and messing around with all of those stupid bolts that (it seems, memory escapes me) were held on with nyloc nuts. Of...

When I read that, I thought, what does transitioning have to do with running a business? Who cares if he's now a woman? Then I thought, perhaps Yama meant that he transitioned out of the CEO role, and someone has taken over. That would be more likely. Then I did a little search and...

You see them too? :shock:

I drive 99% of the time in quiet mode, and they (Ford) still pipe in fake exhaust noise even then. Removing the ESE has eliminated the drone... it's not so much the volume as it is the tone of the exhaust is much more pleasant. Some of the lower tones are gone. I also found the ESE to be...

The marketing people are so much more intelligent than any of us that we cannot possibly fanthom what nefarious plans they have in store for us. :sunglasses: I suspect that they change things up (Bullit, Mach 1, Dark Horsie) to maintain interest, generate new articles and speculation from...

Seems to me that since the PPF is relatively new, it should peel off in one piece, not chipped off in little segments. That sucks. I would use a heat gun or hair dryer, and use extreme caution around the edges of the decal, working from the inside/out. That's all theoretical, because in...

Well... I think part of the problem isn't that the dealership may be incompetent, but that you are in the lottery when it comes time to assign a technician to your car. It could be a novice, a crackhead, or the lead tech, you just don't know. There's also (as learned from other posts here) a...
