I didn't see this link yet, so I'm posting it. It confirms what someone said earlier, that the 5S is not yet out(as of 2022, the date of this article), and that the 5(non-S) is a replacement for the 4(non-S). Other than that, the article seems like press release from Michelin. All the photos are...
Hello Benny,
It's time for me to replace my rear rotors and pads. I keep finding conflicting information on correct part numbers. Can I PM you my VIN and see what you come up with? I've checked it at parts.ford.com, and I *think* I know the correct part numbers, but I'd like to cross...
@thornclaw , that's interesting. The stock rear pads that were factory installed on my 2020 GT PP1 Manual trans (I took a picture when I performed my first rotation) are FR3C-2218-CF, not -CC.
According to parts.ford.com, and using my VIN, the replacements are BRF-1864/FR3Z-2200-J, not...
Hijacking this thread to ask the same questions, but regarding the rear brakes. I've also searched the forum and vendor and Ford sites, and keep finding different part numbers. My vehicle is 2020 GT PP1.
For example, Tasca shows the following different descriptions and prices, both of them...
Adam,
Thank you.
Yes, traction was the main problem, but I would not say that the track was greasy. Plenty of other(and faster) cars completely hooked up; one of those drivers was telling me he was surprised his car was hooking so hard that night(race engine, slicks, cutting 10s). My...
I had to replace similar actuators on my 2013 Fiesta ST too soon(in my mind) after I purchased it new. This was a common problem reported in the Fiesta ST forums, with plenty of advice on how to diagnose and repair it(it was a real hassle in that vehicle, but not impossible), including part...
"The amount of car that has to not be in the car" is the best, most hilarious way to put it, lol. I replaced a turbo on a friend's truck, using the service manual. Yup, the amount is appalling! Tedious though it was, every step was necessary or I would have been tearing my hair out...
I finally took my car drag racing at Milan Dragway, Michigan, yesterday. I had not been there since the mid 90s, and back then, I had an automatic car. I had a blast with my 6-speed, but struggled with Line Loc until I figured out what I was doing wrong.
The PSA:
1. after initializing
2. and...
Snapped this on a 2 day highway road trip, when I nearly got the odometer to line up exactly on 6's.
Most of the time, I'm content to drive 5 over, especially multiday road trips(requiring overnight stops) that take me through other states known to have aggressive enforcement. I figure getting...
I learned to drive stick back in the 80s, and learned how to hill hold properly. That said, I do enjoy the hill hold feature.
As to your other question, in very slow crawling traffic, I do have fun getting the car into 1st without any gas. Like another of you noted, you can get the car into...
My entire family adores Studio Ghibli movies, especially my daughter. So when I came to visit her in college, I couldn't help but notice her Calcifer purse almost exactly matches the color of my (dirty, ack) car. It's fun to imagine how(pun not intended) much fun Calcifer would have driving it...
Thanks, but yes, exactly, lol. I do indeed do my own work, but that seems like a pain to me, having watched a video of a guy doing exactly that: drop exhaust, trans x member, drive shaft, etc. They make it look straightforward, but the way I work, it would take me 2 days and I would be fretting...
That's a badass shifter, love the look, and love the interior/body mods to go with it. Unique and old school! I'm a fan of the Hurst Olds 442(no, I don't have one, but I am the second owner of my grandpa's '68 Olds Delta 88 455).
I've looked at installation videos for aftermarket shifters, and...
Google doc spreadsheet. My family is driving 4 vehicles, so I have a lot to keep track of across them all, especially for the older vehicles that don't have 'minders'. I do all the maintenance, so it's the only way I can keep my head around up coming oil changes, tire rotations, engine and cabin...
Welcome to the club. Aside from that, how are you enjoying your new ride? You should revise your profile pic with your ride so we can all see, maybe revise your signature, too. But welcome!
Update: the braking clunk is gone, car sounds and feels like new!
At first, I bought just the LH lateral link, since it had a lot of play in the ball joint. Since my last post, I discovered that the RH tension link also had play, but it seemed at the time to be a lot less worse than the LH...
