These were my thoughts as well. - Something (parts, platform, technology) that's already on the shelf and in-use - The silhouette displayed doesn't have to be that of the actual "addition"

Some ideas, if you've not already done the following: - For the back seats, attach the seat belts, as if someone is sitting in the seat - In the trunk, take out everything that isn't nailed down (panel covering the mini air compressor, the mini air compressor, the small white funnel, etc.) -...

You are correct on both points: - In the 2024 Owner's Manual, there is no reference to a mechanical (engine, trans, diff, brake, clutch, etc.) break-in mileage - There is no statement the oil should be changed at 1,000 mi / 1,600 km In previous Model Years (MY) and supplements, there is the...

Long-term, I feel synthetics present benefits over dino, in several ways. So, yes, given the option, I'd take a synthetic. Regarding infrequent use, that's OK. It's another topic entirely, and another thread, but read up on battery tenders. It'd be worthwhile to set the car up for using one...

I feel the 1,000 mi / 1,600 km point is something some (many?) of us have gravitated to over time. The origins of that milestone come from Ford's statements in the Owners Manual related to the car's overall break-in period. Should you change at the reference point above? This topic and oil type...

I'll be curious as to the allocation process, package $$$ and dealer mark-ups. Overseas availability? One of these, AU or EU spec, would be more unique still.

Battery Management System. One function the under hood Body Control Module (BCM) runs is BMS. This program is aware of when the battery was initially installed and tracks how often the car is driven, charging periods, rates of charge, etc. It's like an Oil Life Monitor (OLM), for a battery and...

The plug and leads could be put anywhere convenient for the owner. I stayed away from the grill area; it was a tight fit and source of heat. I also stayed away from the cowl area; this section sees a lot of water from rain and car washes.

A few pictures as to what I've done. You should be able to find like reference points on the S650. I installed the hot lead to the under hood fuse panel, the one lead which ultimately goes to the battery. The ground, to the chassis, where the strut tower is. Both leads were then paired to the...

Standing next to each of your front wheels, crouch down and look at the coil spring within the strut. The shipping block will be "stuck" in there. They keep the car elevated a touch, while in transport. The blocks should be removed while the car is inspected at the dealer. But not all the techs...

:thumbsup: My bad. I was looking for a specific recall number and went right past that. Thanks.

@roket , I'm posting the following for peer review. It is a recall related to EcoBoost low pressure fuel lines and involves a few hundred cars. Affected owners should be getting their recall letters in the mail. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V220-4944.PDF...

Legally? Not that I'm aware of. For a time in the past, the state of Montana had no speed limits. But all 50 states have limits now. In the state of CO, once 25 mph / 40 kmh over the posted limit, jail time can be imposed. Some examples I can think of where one might legally find the limit of...

I'm using XPEL. The installer is a franchisee, with access to the company database and templates. PPF is cut on a plotter and later installed in a clean area. You have a few options: 1. Do nothing. Leave the vinyl decal as-is. The PPF will cover everything except the decal. 2. Item #1 above...

https://www.raceramps.com/ramps/race/p/rr-72-2/ I'm using these. The Ford Supplement for the M1 w/HP mentions staying away from grades with an initial entry of 7%. The ones above are just below that. They work well. They do not shift when going up and down and the materials are very robust. An...

Beat me to it. :giggle:

https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Using the tool above, the front tire will be -.8" / 20mm (-3%) less in diameter (255/40-to-305/30). The rear, - 1.3" / 33 mm (-4.7%) less in diameter (275/40-to-315/30). A general rule of thumb is to stick within +/- 3% in circumference/diameter of the...

https://www.shelby.com/Vehicles/Shelby-GT-2023 Something of a proxy of what could be done to a S650. Even the basic packages are not cheap. SuperSnake builds are currently available for GT500-like cars. A 6G Member recently turned his GT500 in for a build; he'd waited close to two years. At...

I don't have a preference on jack stands. Those that do can comment on why they prefer one brand over another. They're simple devices. Find some with good reviews that are not so small you wonder if they'll hold, but not so sturdy and cumbersome they're a pain to get into place. Each corner of...
