  1. I might have messed up

    Great advice from above. .....IF IF IF what is already threaded is sufficient to hold - you could try putting a washer and a nut on the treaded portion sticking out. IF IF IF you just sheared to top (nut) off the bolt and didn't stretch it, thereby weakening it, you might be able to work a nut...
  2. My take on the initial build quality.

    My neighbour took posession of his fancy Mercedes Benz all electric coupe about the same time (3 weeks ago) that I got my 2026 GT premium convertible. So far no issues with mine and fit and finish is very decent. He had a door fit problem, a leak and so many charging problems that a factory rep...
  3. Why aren't you changing your own oil?

    Like anything in life you will get as good a service as you deserve. If anyone you are dealing with senses that you have done your homework, pay attention and are engaged you will get good service. My dealer knows I am very interested in my vehicle and check. I discuss what is going to be done...
  4. Why aren't you changing your own oil?

    Dealership changes my oil. It's fast and efficient. I use the ford filter (Wix) and Ford oil - super high quality .... (Conoco + S-Oil additives) - FULL synthetic and pre-fill the oil filter, can't get better oil or filter anywhere. I then have a record of the changes on Oasis for future...
  5. My take on the initial build quality.

    All the light metals and plastic pans and trims come to you c/o your EPA line-up wide mileage constraints.
  6. S650 Convertible 810HP Build - Looking for Technical Feedback

    @Vidley congratulations on your choices to prepare your frame for the extra HP. As you know convertibles are more prone to torsional twisting than coupes and adding extra HP just exacerbates that. Can you also run a tower to tower strut brace - even if you have to pay to have one engineered. I...
  7. S650 Darkhorse and the Limited Edition 60th Anniversary value comparison

    @Neggytive ..... yes. @Upacurb ..... yes. With cars and boats financial appreciation is very, very rare. There are so many better ways to accrue wealth or not lose wealth. Cars and boats were meant to driven for fun..... and in my world fun always costs. It's what it is.
  8. Filter Wraps

    @D/\rK•650 ..... respectfully, I disagree with you. Having a slip on cover defeats the mathematics of having pleated covers and also further reduces airflow by adding another barrier. There is nothing good about them. OEM paper filters (Wix used to make them for Ford) and changing them when...
  9. S650 Darkhorse and the Limited Edition 60th Anniversary value comparison

    @Snowflee17 I assumed it was about "money" as your questions was " I wonder which one will carry the better selling price in 5, 10 15 years" ...... that sounded like a money/investment question to me - hence my reply. Just sayin'..... :cool:
  10. S650 Darkhorse and the Limited Edition 60th Anniversary value comparison

    White rims and plaid interior.....anyone remember the Bay City Rollers (my younger sister had posters of them on her wall). There's nothing at all in the 60 anniversary "special" that appeals to me and IMO the new Califirnia Specials are not as good looking as earlier versions. Buy what you...
  11. The Coyote of Justice is on the prowl

    ......personally, I love it when 5-0 pulls over idiots. 90% of the fast drivers I see are morons who are going to kill someone sooner or later. Even decent drivers kill themselves sooner or later - Paul Walker, Ken Block..........When younger I took a Rally course and passed to get my card I...
  12. Where manuals at? (I'm angry all the time)

    When trading my 2024 GT premium convertible - order of questions I was asked by dealers was almost exactly the same: VIN, mileage, smoking in car, manual or automatic. Where I eventually traded it 80% of Mustangs (they sell about 40 a year) are automatic. Of Mustangs that don't sell quickly 95%...
  13. 3 minutes - idle drops twice

    @Zig "Do you wait for the first or second before you pull away? First start of the day or every time?" ABSOLUTELY any time the oil is cold or has sat 24 hours. I warm my engine up well beyond the low idle. From a family who used to build custom marine and auto race engines we thank all those who...
  14. Audiophile System Build in 2026 Mustang

    @Andy Feuer ..... I've seen a lot of builds in my day but nothing nicer than what you did. 5 Star professional. Way to go! Bet you are real busy!

    I'm start too tink i dont lik A-I tawk animor .... thet dam stuf wull rune our forem. Wanna bet duma$$ Richie is a bot .....or jest terminally booring.
  16. Brand new car: wiper fluid hose was disconnected

    I am in no way failing to acknowledge the annoyance of the op's post - but - I have watched several lengthy videos of the Mustang assembly line in action. The number of individual parts (a fair number of them from third party suppliers) and the speed with which they are assembled leaves me in...
  17. Coyote/S650 Derangement Syndrome

    Don't get me wrong. If someone points out a legitimate concern I 100% appreciate that. for example Tony Unica posted in 2024 that he LOVED his new GT Premium Convertible - but - he was very worried about the holes in the inside front fender liners - then - he posted a solution. That's not...
  18. Coyote/S650 Derangement Syndrome

    There is a Ph.D thesis in the making for some enrerprising Mustang owner. Why are there so many owners of S650s that whine about the cars they bought? They buy one then rant and whine by comparing it to cars they owned or cars they wished they had .... blah, blah, blah. You don't like the...
  19. BMS: The future is here...and it's awful :(

    @s197richie ..... I think you would be happier with your old s197.
  20. Making the S650 as capable or better than an SS 1le

    You want to get a Mustang up to Camaro standards. Well, first yuo'll have to install a $hitty, cheap-looking 60s interior witha butt ugly dash. then put in an engine and exhaust system that soulds like a bag of squirrels being strangled when under power and if it's a convertible a crappy top...
