If you like cars, and like Ford's, chances are you like V8's too, this video is a must watch.
Something that I find fascinating is how the current Ford CEO, Jim Farley, fully understands the importance of the V8 and its meaning to Ford customers. He spends his spare time on the racetrack racing...
I'm so glad you went and saw the car, see, I told you it would make things better.
I'm just so bummed for you, I feel like we both went through this protracted wait for these cars, then to have yours held back like this, I feel bad as I already have my car and its not on the recall list. One...
It's all about little victories at the moment. I'm trying to keep my brain active while being mindful that I'm supposed to be resting. Cleaning out the chemical cabinet was a low impact task that was quite satisfying. And after a long break, I've been making coffee again.
In the garage, I'm...
One other thing to watch out for when modifying pressure washers is to be mindful of nozzle and foam cannon orifice sizes. For a Karcher K2 or K3, you would be using the 1.1 mm orifice supplied with the MTM foam cannon (they come with one fitted, and a second in the box. Just make sure the 1.1...
I don't have a review of multiple foam cannons, but I can steer you in the right direction.
Now, at this point I will highlight there are countless foam cannons on the market, from $10 Amazon specials right through to the premium end above $100. Now, those $10 foam cannons work, but the...
Is this to remove polish residue, or do you mean for the application of detail sprays/spray sealants ect? For polish removal, a lower pile helps cut through the residue, something like the Edgeless 365 or Car Wash Towel. For spray/wipe applications, you can bump up to a longer pile to something...
Ha ha, I actually wrote that article! :like:
I chose to leave the prep spray as a general recommendation so it would work better for them. The general rule of thumb is to use the corresponding prep spray offered by the coating brand itself, in that case it would be ADS Prep Spray. I've used...
If you are happy to do it yourself, the calipers as well, then I'd favor the ADS Wheel coating over what they use. It's THE best wheel coating out there.
A couple of tips to consider, be that you applying protection, or a detailer -
- Please be aware that ceramic coatings are NOT impervious. Yes, they can last longer and have higher chemical resistance, but they DO NOT tolerate neglect, improper maintenance or prevent foreign substances (bird...
I would add a wheel coating to your list as well. Personally, I see coating the wheels as absolutely necessary, if only to make cleaning easier with dusty Brembo's. For matte finishes, you want to do this ASAP before the brake dust permeates the paint.
Audio!
I can't drive this car at the moment, but I can sure talk about it!
Before getting started, I’ve always had a thing for audio systems. As a kid, I was given a JVC boom box that my father won in a competition. This was in the days where having dual cassette decks were the norm and CD’s...
So, price comparison between Herrod and Leviitown -
Leviitown - $591 + $190.86 shipping = $781.86 USD / $1187.48 AUD (basic conversion, import duty would be on top of that)
Herrod - $1150 AUD
Yeah, I don't read much into the performance gains on air filters, be that power gains or the actual air filtering itself. I just like the look of the Rouch setup and the fact it keeps the filters covered and not exposed. Tickford are the only ones who seem to be intending on selling it, but...
And while I'm on the rant, why is the aftermarket so bloody slow with S650 in Australia? Unless its something that transfers from S550, nothing is available for the car. There are things I would have already bought and fitted to the car, but unless you want to burn hundreds of dollars to put...
The import duty thing was more of a warning in case you end up adding a few things to make the shipping worthwhile. Buy the time its currency converted, the price would easily trip over the $1000 threshold. Stupid country we live in.
I was actually looking to buy the Roush air filter kit, by...
