So, there will be a pause in content for a while. Ive landed myself in hospital with an infection. If there is one benefit to having type one diabetes, you tend to get fast tracked through the emergency department. Still, it’s all about waiting, waiting, waiting. 😕
I have to admit, I do miss having the chrome pony badge on the grill, I don't think it would look out of place.
It's such a shame they dropped the Black Pack for Australia. The Bronze Pack is lame in comparison, it's just bronze wheels and badges.
Headlights!
## Full disclosure, I rarely if ever drive at night and therefore never use the headlights. So, the following post is geared towards the aesthetic side of headlights rather than their functional performance. ##
Stylistically, headlights are the “eyes” of a car’s “face”, they can...
Bilt Hamber Touch-less v2
While I was late to the Bilt Hamber Touch-less party, I now see it as valuable addition to my cabinet. Touch-less is a sugar-based biodegradable pre-wash soap that contains no phosphates, solvents, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and caustic soda. This makes it's safer to...
I haven't been feeling well the last few days, I seem to have picked up some sort of infection that's causing a lot of pain and a lack of sleep, and anti-biotics have always disagreed with me. But with the help of a cocktail of pain killers, I press on.
A little break from Mustang content, the...
I used it for that earlier this year. Depending on how old the adhesive is, you may still need a little elbow grease and the assistance of a plastic razor blade, but it will certainly help out.

Steering!
For S650, Ford made several changes to the steering system to improve responsiveness, teamed it with a new flat bottom wheel.
To start, Ford added a cross-car beam to improve chassis/body rigidity, less flex in this department helps deliver a more stable platform for the steering to...
While I'm most likely leaving the HP wheels on the car, I still wanted to tidy up the PP wheels I removed last week. These presented well, but once removed, the barrels were jacked up pretty bad. This is pretty remarkable considering the wheels have done less that 120km's.
The first job was to...
I love those bottles. I'm not great with numbers, other than remembering car facts and figures, so using these is a massive help and requires no calculation at all.
Magneride, Ride Comfort and General Refinement!
One of the first things I noticed driving the S650 Mustang was the improved cabin refinement. First and foremost, I highly doubt those shopping for a Mustang place much importance on hushed road noise or a pillowy ride. Still, these are grand...
On both of my Mustang's, the dealer didn't bother fitting them. I don't see the point of them really, if someone wants to steal your wheels, they will just hammer a socket over the lock nut anyway.
Confession, I hadn't driven the Mustang in a week. After being washed last Saturday, the car sat on Sunday and Monday while I attended to some of my private jobs, I then jumped into polishing on Tuesday. It then sat in the garage all week as I continued working on the car. I wanted to do all...
As luck would have it, I found the invoice for the TPMS kit I ordered from my ford dealer back when I got those HP wheels in 2021, so I actually have the newer 433Htz sensors fitted to those wheels.
I'm confused. Some say they have got them working, some say they didn't, some say they there is a programming sequence. I've also read elsewhere an Australian market S550 Mach 1 upgraded to the Handling Pack wheels that came with the early TPMS, but ended up having to fit the later TPMS to talk...
1) I don't really pay much attention to H ratings, I just chose the coating that speaks to me, as in how slick is it and what does it look like.
2) I have no doubt his products will be good, but put it this way, I unsubscribed to his channel about a week after he launched the brand. His...
Seriously? Can I ask what you do in your spare time.................as in a hobby?
Everyone has a hobby they devote themselves to. For me, detailing is my escape from the world, the thing I look forward to the most. It helps motivate me, gives me something I can share with others, allows me to...
Almost twins!
I wish we had access to spoiler in Australia, its not part of the Performance Pack here, nor can you order it as a single factory or dealer fitted item.
