You've already done two days? So, presumably you know all about preparation, brake bleeding, tire pressures, etc.? The only advice I can give you at this point is to listen to your instructor. You are in an incredibly fast and capable car, and your instructor will not only help you become a...

Because of potential liability and fear of feeling terribly guilty, I'd never suggest that those will be just fine. I've seen cars fall off of jacks - or the jack collapse - so I've always been extra paranoid and safe when it comes to working under cars. Which is why I never, never, NEVER use...

First, sorry to hear of your medical issues, best of luck with that. Forgive my stupid question, but if you're not able to get down there to look, how do you intend to get down there to take it off? I've taken off bumpers and other stuff on Mustangs before, so I suspect that it has a boat load...

Oops, sorry. Well, compared to a BMW M car (or Zupra) the most noticeable difference right off the bat is the quality of the interior materials. The Ford is still a Ford, Hertz would be proud to rent this car to you with the fake carbon fiber weave plastic trim and plastic, plastic, plastic...

I worked in car sales for a few months this past summer. All I can say is that nearly all of the tricks and games and lies come from the management of the store. The salespeople are often clueless as to what goes on and are not responsible. At least that's what I told my customers...

Well, in hindsight, I was told this back in the 90s in reference to an 80s car, and with today's DI and presumably higher tolerance in the injectors and everything else, maybe using a cleaner every few thousand may be OK. Still, I never use one unless the car is experiencing performance issues...

Wow, great comments. I thought I owned a lot of cars, but perhaps Ken has beat me out there (although he's older... :wink:). The car previous to the DH was a Zupra. As a long-time BMW fan (M5s, M2, M4 perhaps an M3 way back when) it was everything I was used to, but the thing was really...

Thanks all for the comments, it looks like (so far) we're about 50/50. The wife says not to rush in the decision, which is good advice. She likes the graphics. I washed the car for the first time yesterday, and noticed that there is an awful lot of matte finishing on it, parts of the bumpers...

Excellent write-up and pics. I do question the need for the fuel injector cleaner. Unless you've got just horrible gas, you could cause damage* to the injectors using a cleaner too often. * - or so I was led to believe from a very experienced mechanic many years ago

Perhaps it's because my car is gray with gray graphics, but they don't pop at all, I really don't care for the matte look, and I figure the sooner I take them off, the less likely that the paint will fade at different rates. However, it is a special car and the graphics are a big part of that...

S1938 Carbonized Gray manual no packages

This.

I bought this car last month but it didn't show up (delivered from Ohio) until last night. I like it so far. :) It's a 2025 DH with three pedals, no options besides the car cover that I'll probably never use. It was used with under 400 miles. Apparently the original owner won it in a...

My new car arrives next week, and I was thinking of putting in a dash camera for it. This timing works out great, if I'm accepted! I plan to hard wire everything, and I would enjoy doing a write-up of the installation process as well as a review of the product to help out my fellow...

Congrats! I hate that you had to go through all of this, but happy that they made it right in the end. :thumbsup:

Some ricer kid in a Prelude humiliated me in my modified Corvette once. Never pre-judge based on looks.

Great thread with excellent advice. One thing I'll add if I may, is to carefully check with the organizer and the venue to see what kind of helmet is required. Aside from the 10 year old limit, many events require a "SA" helmet, an "M" (motorcycle) is not permitted. And some tracks require...

Perhaps I'm slow this morning and missing something obvious, or the car is more sophisticated than I ever imagined... but if I'm doing simple work like bleeding or changing pads, I'm going to be doing that with the car off, the ignition off, and so how in the world would it know or care that...

I wonder if we could stuff some of those panty shields up there that turn blue when they get wet? You know, like on TV commercials... If they stay dry, no need to go through all of this. That bit about prying up the windshield kinda bothers me.

@Spd, $8600 off a 301A 6-spd sounds like a pretty awesome deal! So, I just recently finished shopping, no new GTs to be had d/t the recall so I went used. The OTD comparison is a good idea, but as noted above, our taxes and fees vary by state. For example, here in NC our sales tax on cars...
