Brought the GT in for oil/filter and trans fluid change. Also finished off the PP wheels with black lug nuts. They wacked me $130 to change out the trans fluid (takes over an hour?) but I admit it felt much better and was worth the investment. Does it feel like a totally different gear box? No...
I went in on the drivers side since it was in the garage. Is the other side any easier? I actually got wedged between the seat and door frame. Dirty rear window will be the norm..
After almost 8 months I decided to clean the back window. It wasn't as dirty as that sounds. I'm 6'3 190 and a senior citizen. It was torture and I was using a cleaning device that's suppose to make it easier. Can't imagine there's a better way but if I'm missing something please don't hesitate...
Was passing the time trying to decide what I might do to the interior to dress it up a bit. The options seem limited. I did notice this $999 dash kit from Trufiber sold through the aftermarket folks. $999 is a big ticket for a product they don't market well (specifically the photos on their...
Heat gun works much quicker than hair dryer. Tape around the 5.0 so you don't scratch anything especially when you work the last of the glue off. After removing the emblem (with fishing line or floss) there will be considerable glue remaining. I used silicone spray on that with more heat to...
Here's the lesson I learned. Bought the car in November and the temps were still reasonable. Was urged by the Ford Dealer to install winter tires given North Jersey weather. Checked out the options and the cost (Blizzack LM32's plus install) was going to be extremely painful. Then the temps...
D - read your write up and appreciate both the insight and detail. I apparently placed much to much value on the sound clips provided by the both the manufacturers and aftermarket folks. When doing so the Corsa Sport sounded way too loud for me. The only minor issue I have with the Magnaflow is...
I'm expecting some flack on this especially from the younger S550 owners but it's simply some feedback for those contemplating this catback system. When I ride alone and the window is open and the tunes playing I'm fine with the exhaust. Yes it does have a mild drone in 6th under 2100 RPMs. I...
The attached photo (I can't seem to figure how to insert the photo instead) shows a slick looking carbon fiber console apparently for 15-16 models. I can't seem to locate who offers this part or if its a one off that someone is showing. Anyone have any insight where more information might be...
I'm old school. As a matter of fact I'm old. Granted the autos are quicker I get all that. But there's something to be said about control over the process. Down shifting and the corresponding sound. Accelerating in normal traffic and simply working on being smooth so the gear changes feel right...
5000 miles..it's exceeded my expectations and I'm pretty anal about the details. I smile every time I usher those 435 ponies to my destination. Is it an AMG or Z06? No, but that's what makes you smile.
It was done by an experienced technician. The install is simplified if done while the exhaust is being replaced. We did have an issue with reverse lockout that was rectified. There's just enough room to work with and at times a third hand and focused flashlight were necessary. It took 2 hours...
Regarding the research question..I spoke with friends in tuner facilities regarding their recommendations. I listened to all the sound clips provided by all the aftermarket and system manufacturers. I did that for quite a while. Like someone may have mentioned I was looking for a modest sound...
Just wanted to provide some feedback for others that may be considering these two mods. The shifter (part # 555-7316) is simply a huge improvement over stock - especially for $115.00. Not only are the throws shortened but the entire box feels more solid compared to the OEM configuration. As far...
