What voltage is showing on the dash readout when mobile and idle?

I find the stock seats fine for fast road driving. But, because I'm not a big guy (5' 7" 79kgs), I think they would lack support for track use. It may be different with a broader back.

Fair enough. But if you've been doing it for 60 years you're already a driving God:bow:

FWIW. I keep a spreadsheet on every thing that I do, or happens, to my cars and bikes, especially modded ones. I even have full suspension set up measurements and damping settings. It may not help resale value, but I think it helps get a sale. Another option is to take the goodies off and sell...

I'm not a fan of white, but that looks sharp.

I use both too. But when I was looking for Ford spec compatability on Castrol Edge 5w/30 LL I couldn't find anything.

I might be showing my age here, but why does anyone need that? There is a handbrake. But better still learn to heel and toe. Braking with the ball of your foot and blipping the accelerator with your heel. This is how you downshift while braking hard without stressing the clutch and gearbox, and...

V1's need 12v+ Use a mirror tap, and tap into the connector up there.

Exactly. A friend told me about it.

Put a cilatil tab in the drooping one. It'll be fine by morning.

Have you heard about the insomniac, dyslexic agnostic? He lay awake all night wondering if there was a dog.

I've got that, can't hear a damn thing in a noisy room, but can hear a mouse fart in the next street on a quiet night. And, being married for 22 years, I have the active hearing option.

Lugging high is high load/high gear. I don't know the correct term for what you're describing, but I've had it happen when I've inadvertently pulled the shifter back to M.

I had an original Toyota GT86. It was great fun, handled like a go kart, drifted if you so much as thought about it. But it had a stupid torque curve with a hole in the mid range, so it was OK pottering around town, and quick enough to be fun if you rang it's neck, but a PIA if you were just...

What are "true" Brembos? Are you saying Ford is using some third world copy with a Brembo logo on it? Thats going to be a fascinating lawsuit.

I'm well aware of the zero % finance traps, where the application fees are as high as the interest would have been. But we are not stupid, and it helps that my wife is an Accountant and Financial Manager. I get the European thing, my father never had hire purchase, never lent or borrowed money...

It's bit different here. Not many people invest directly in shares, many use managed funds. My superannuation was basically a managed fund, so I just continued it after I retired and threw more money in.

Didn't Chrysler grab that name first?

Yeah, but he had to fit 7 litre engines after Ferrari thrashed the 5 litres.

Funny that, the car was as big as the city. (Nearly) There's a mindblowing car museum in Torino. I couldn't imagine the value of some of them.
