You can start tracking the coolant level. Check the overflow bottle once a week, or as often as you feel necessary. The level will vary for all kinds of reasons, but if you see a long-term trend of down, something is leaking, yes. When the engine is cold to the touch, and with a torch, inspect...

Do you notice the smell inside the cabin? Or outside the car once parked?

I did some general searches using Autotrader and just Google. Several dealers have pages on their sites, saying, "Come on in! Sit down and order your GTD!", like it was as simple as ordering a pizza. :giggle: Five dealers have listings with nothing other than a shell, not even a photo, stating...

I do not live in CA. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/anyone-have-invoice-pricing-on-a-2024-25-dh.165454/ For '24s and '25s, starting discounts of 5-10% from MSRP are common in my area. Checking '26s, discounts of 2-7% off MSRP are on offer, depending on the spec. Dealer lots of all...

https://www.49northlubricants.com/understanding-a-viscosity-chart/ The differences in going from a 30 to a 50 weight oil are not slight. Two reasons for the 30 weight are tighter clearances and low-tension piston rings used in a modern engine. Changing weights after installing a Whipple...

For those that love the GTD Spirit of America but are a bit budget constrained, MiniGT will offer one in April. https://minigt.tsm-models.com/index.php?action=product-detail&id=2014&b_id=24#d8642 There's also going to be a MiniGT GT3 in a Rolex 24-hr Daytona livery. Some of these are coming...

https://airdensityonline.com/us-track-list/ This is one site which offers Density Altitude readings. You can also check the web page of the closest airport. Given Winter conditions, several tracks are showing an air density which is typically present at much lower elevations, sometimes...

I was offered something similar for my hood and rocker panel decals. Protection of decals is an option each person would have to weigh for themselves. No wrong answer. It's purchasing insurance. You weigh the risk of damage against the cost of coverage and come up with a solution you're happy...

Curious, I went out to the Ford site to see what was posted. 2024: - Viewing the HTML version, "the most up-to-date" version", the V8 oil capacity is 9.5 qt / 9 l. - Viewing the PDF version, printing 1, the capacity is 10 qt / 9.5 l...

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/pre-collision-assist-cruise-control-problem.170023/ Problems with ride height interfering with the electronics are mentioned in this thread. I feel it's worth reading through and being aware of the instance.

Fobs have both active and sleep states. The fob can go active in two scenarios: - The device is in motion - The unit is receiving an 125kHz Low Frequency wake signal The fob will sleep if unmoved and resting for about 40 seconds; this is to preserve the fob battery. The car's door handles...

Given enough contrast, a black roof could look killer. A black top on a dark car, the effect would be muted, possibly to the point of appearing poor. But a black roof on a bright lime, orange, blue, white or something akin to those, would appear much better. Before getting the roof made over...

I know you mentioned jacks and tools, but some things I'd consider must-haves: - A spare of some type, space saver or full-sized. Automotive Authority sells space-savers with a small jack, all of which fits in the trunk well and under the cover...

I've never measured current draw when starting my car. But our booster cables and the batteries are rated in the hundreds of amps. Before the car is started, parasitic* drains will consume some energy. I follow a Tacoma forum; they often complain of the same issue: off-operation losses being a...

There is a YouTube channel I've started watching: "Dashcam Lessons". People from all over send in clips from their cameras. They have specific "karma" reels. Worth a look.

The rust appearing on the surface cannot be prevented, due to the high iron content of the rotor. High carbon knives act in the same way: once met with moisture, they begin rusting almost immediately. See Japanese sushi chefs, constantly wiping their knives. After washing and drying, I do a...

Good discussion and details. For anyone involved with these topics in the future, ask for (if buyer) or present (if seller), the window sticker; it will confirm if the car was built with the HP kit or not. VINs do not identify the option.

Owning a rare or unique car can be enjoyable in many ways. But the Owner will lose money like everyone else. Before and into the debut of the Mach 1, we were dealing with COVID. Shortly after its debut, Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Both events had meaningful impacts on supply chains and...
