I just happened to play around with my decklid and my DA last weekend. I thought I'd do some experimenting to get the thousands of scratches off or just buy a replacement if I screwed it up. You can find these decklids all over eBay now for cheap.
Something I learned the hard way: DA...
Oh, I'm with you Joel! With 16,000 miles left to go, either Roush or Ford is getting my money. And Ford Performance, or CARB, or...whatever...is pushing my Mastercard away on a daily basis.
Keep fighting!
The dealership I use for warranty stuff & maintenance accidentally damaged my car in a spot that I wouldn’t have noticed for days if ever. Not only did they immediately point it out to me, they also hired an outside specialist to repair it back to factory appearance. I didn’t...
I'm so tempted to do this. But I guarantee, the day after I do this, you guys will be posting about the unbelievable gains you're getting from the newly released 2018 Power Pack!
Agreed! I also used the paint pen and all the careful layering & wet sanding/polishing techniques to blend it. Did that for years on multiple cars. Too much work for something that nobody else will notice.
Now, I'm lazy and just use Dr. Colorchip. It gets that "flat" repair effect without...
I once spoke to a person who works at a Ford dealership while in a social environment. Keep in mind, we weren't talking about the dealership or repairs. We were talking about Mustang colors and I mentioned that I get compliments almost daily on my Ruby Red. Out of the blue this person said...
I had a dream last night that I called them and said, "I live in TN. We don't care about CARB. Release it anyway!" And they agreed to do it. I was ecstatic.
...Then I awoke laughing my butt off! :yawn::brokenheart::cwl:
If I had a dollar for every time I kicked it into Sport only for traffic to pop up out of nowhere and had to put it right back into Normal. :crying:
Yeah, I’d be in a lot of trouble if you could’t change on the move.
I was very tempted to buy an Enterprise rental car and was fortunate enough to meet a lady in my personal life who managed an Enterprise. It only took her about 30 seconds to talk me out of it. Whoa-boy the stories! Think of it as a mobile motel room mattress with wheels. Don't ever fire up...
I'm going to give you a completely different piece of advice...because I went through a similar thing at 18. And I totally regret it. I wish I had never bought any car back then. Maybe a cheap beater to get me through college/job commute at most. My advice is to make sure you will have...
Back in late 2017/early 2018, the instructions for most of these things were pretty terrible. The glovebox bulb was a nightmare! I've noticed folks have learned the "tricks" and even the manufacturers/vendors have started updating their instructions. Everything is a piece-of-cake now.
My...
I had this happen to me a couple of weeks ago. Wide open road...car pulls up behind me expecting me to go go go! I pull to the far right lane and continue going right below the speed limit. Why?
Because my radar detector had been alerting me for the past 1.5 miles. Sure enough, Mr...
Oh he definitely does regret it. There's a video floating on Youtube where he was called out on those words a few months ago. He pretty much admitted that he got into a little trouble from Ford and had to backtrack. I gotta give it to him for being honest. Like was said before, just a little...
Even better it should be:
Query ECU firmware identifier string and assign it variable X
Flash new firmware/tune
Query ECU firmware identifier string and assign it variable Y
If X=Y PRINT "ECU UPDATE FAILED! DO NOT DRIVE!"
If X≠Y PRINT "ECU UPDATE SUCCESSFUL. SEND IT!"
Those chips would drive me insane 12,000 miles ago. I had my repair technique down perfectly! Wet sanding, buffing, applying the touchup paint with a tiny paintbrush...more wet sanding and buffing.
Now, at 17,000, I'm over it! I just surrendered and now pop some Dr. Colorchip in them and...
The Ford Performance engineers sounded pretty impressed with themselves during their video spot with American Muscle. It could have just been all hat, no cattle. But if not...:rockon:
