Coming from the S550/6 I had to replace the spring (but not the perch) to get a decent feel out of the clutch pedal. I don't feel the need to do this in the S650, but to be fair, I've got the Dark Horse with a different transmission than the GT and possibly a different clutch as well. It's a...

Thanks. And what I should have written: Most of the claims by the sellers of ceramic coatings are b.s. The product is fine, it's the outrageous claims made by some people that just don't hold up.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if you don't agree with it.

I had the factory mini spare on my S550 coupe, but I have inferred from what I've read that it won't clear the brakes on the DH. Anyone know this for a fact (or not)?

That's a great idea. My biggest problem with doing these kind of things is, how much do I tip? Do you go with a standard percentage of the cost of service (like for a waiter/waitress) or a typical flat rate like $20?

I think most ceramic coatings are snake oil, it's just another in a long line of state-of-the-art paint treatments that don't do 95% of what they are advertised to do. The "pop" and the shine that most people get is from a well done preparation, not the final layer of stuff. You'll get equally...

Yes, the standard DH has them, but why would you remove them, when Ford obviously put them there for a reason? The most you'll get is perhaps 3/4" of "clearance" anyway...

I had two S550 GT manuals and now have a S650 DH manual. I honestly don't feel a lot of difference between the boxes, but the clutch has a better feel. I am a strong proponent for the manual. I am not quite as old as you, OP, (congrats on the retirement!) but I'm getting closer and I have...

Why do you keep asking us to do that? Why don't you just do it yourself?

Thank you for posting that, I thought it was just my imagination. It's ridiculous in track mode.

I've always wanted to put in camber plates, but I'm hesitant because of the increase in N&V. How do you folks like them on the street, do you get much more noise and unpleasant feedback or vibration on these compared to stock? There is a reason that the factory uses rubber.

It's Canadian, eh? So you went with a manual this time? Good choice.

Minor hijack... do you remember which fuse number you tapped into? I always have trouble finding an ignition-switched circuit (assuming that's what you used). TIA. :)

I agree with @dmwphoto. @MAT1955 may have been told something at that one particular dealer, but generally speaking, nothing stops you from selling a car. Perhaps the dealer meant that if you never do it and the recall expires, they may not want the car, but who knows what one particular bozo...

Bummer. I hate to say it, but you may have to visit the dealer, as painful as that may be.

Thank you sir, no extra charge. LOL. Where in NC are you? Dealers and whichever tech you get is just a crap shoot. Unfortunately.

Ah, you did a reset, not a reboot. Try that. Press and hold volume button and forward seek button for a few seconds to reboot.

So, if I understand the update correctly, it all depends on whether or not the car is running? That almost makes sense. Since my car is properly equipped with three pedals, I can't do a remote start, so this kind of thing should not happen to me. Regardless, I'm going to try different...

I know, right, how can I be an adult-type person and not have a laptop? Well, I used to have one from work, but I retired. The wife has a work laptop, but it's locked so that I can't install software. I have an Android tablet (and phone) but it seems like the forscan lite application is no...

What happens when you go into My Mustang menu and try to view/change the settings? How did you do a "factory reset"? Did you try to just reboot SYNC?
