  1. Why is oil level such a PITA to determine?

    Generally speaking, that when you pull it out, it doesn't take a contorted double-jointed appendage to access it and that it will replicate indications on repeated efforts. :crackup::crackup::crackup: 'You're killing me, Smalls'...while I may not have achieved Master Mech status in all 9 ASE...
  2. Why is oil level such a PITA to determine?

    But what about the coriolis force in the northern hemisphere? That has to be taken into account...
  3. New member and warranty question

    I went with Olive. $38/mo for $100 deductible and their most comprehensive package. Turns out the Ford warranty that both the seller and I believed to be transferable can only be transferred once. And that was completed when PO bought it off the first owner. Ford wanted $3k for another 2 yrs and...
  4. Why is oil level such a PITA to determine?

    Still getting acquainted with the new mistress and, for the life of me, I've never encountered such a mystery when it comes to determining where the oil level is on the dipstick. I have read a bunch here about waiting 15 min after shutdown on a warmed up engine, that the bottom of the dipstick...
  5. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    I made the mistake of buying a couple pairs of Piloti "driving" shoes...would have been better if I stuffed my foot up a dead beaver and tried to heel/toe. The absolute WORST driving shoes I've ever worn!
  6. Dropped tools into my OMG fender well?

    Oh sweet mother of Jesus...I wished I had read this BEFORE I installed a set of hood struts! I used a spring punch to mark the new 1/4" hole for the tubing that runs adjacent to hood mount and as soon as I set the punch down, it went deep 6 into the cavern of the fender well. YGTBSM. I have a...

    Awesome link- thanks for sharing. I've spent a good deal of time on HWY 198 going between Monterey and Lemoore, CA. It is a bucket list drive if you aren't pulling a trailer to go race at Laguna.
  8. Price Alert- Powerstop Z-26 Front Pads $56

    My love/hate with OEM is as extreme on both sides as it gets (call it 6 sigma std dev...living in the tails of the bell curve on this one!). Would be happy if I end up somewhere in the middle...but since we have braking performance data available in car, will be doing some test pilot shit to...
  9. Price Alert- Powerstop Z-26 Front Pads $56

    Yeah I've read both ends of the spectrum on this...one man's meat is another's poison I guess. No plan to cook 'em on the big track but for the love of Mary, I'd just like to show up to a C&C without looking like a mosquito abatement truck fogging the neighborhood with brake dust when I come to...
  10. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    Thx :-) Yeah...it'd be worth it to keep it off salted roads. I lived back east for a couple years at Pax River in MD and kept some SaltAway handy to douche the rides' undercarraiges whenever old man winter showed up and they dumped salt. It sure would be tough to not even hit the start button...
  11. Price Alert- Powerstop Z-26 Front Pads $56

    After spending a day cleaning baked-on brake dust, I hit the word-of-mouth pad reviews here and I'm going to give the Z26's a shot to see how the bite compares to OEM. The stock pads are notably worthwhile and incredibly effective; that said, the copious tonnage of brake dust blows dead goats...
  12. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    I don't know how you guys can put these away for the winter. Worse than watching two people procreate with your hands tied behind your back... As for today's efforts, the mistress got the Zaino treatment. Clayed, ROB'd with some Fusion (paint was already in excellent shape) and finished off...
  13. Who has a roush catback?

    My brother put the Roush on his '18 Coyote PP1 and when he starts it, the horses in the pen about 100 yards away start kicking panels off the barn...no shitter...the rich idle on cold start will crack a coffee cup...but its as bad ass a sound as God ever made. Just don't live next to Karen and...
  14. Check your splitter install

    Tried to remove the belly pan today and felt like I just picked up a Rubik's cube for the first time. Damn there's a plethora of fasteners and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get the 6 vertical screws that attaches the belly pan to the splitter removed...or removing the splitter...
  15. How Much Oil Is Supposed to Be on This Sensor/Burning Oil Smell

    Holy mackerel...Stevie Wonder could do a better job putting an engine together in all seriousness! What a sorry excuse for a dealership....care to spill the beans on who NOT to take a car to? Sorry for your troubles. Hard working Americans deserve better.
  16. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    Mother's Mag Polish on a MF towel. I normally use a Powerball on a drill but it sure gets the neighbors wondering wtf I'm doing stuffing a spinning foam ball up my car's tailpipe...YMMV
  17. Shelby GT350 Garage Photos

    Not a good time to discuss....still weak at the knees from enjoying the Shelby. But here goes. I have a sportier exhaust than normal on the GT3...1" bypass from the goezinta to the goezoutta (just missing the selectable valving for 'sport) and, well, maybe higher flow rate and I'll leave it...
  18. What did you do to your GT350 today?

    PO never hit the tips…had to fix this today
  19. Shelby GT350 Garage Photos

    The new to me 350 gets the 'rapid exit' spot for the near future...having a hard time walking by it and not taking it out to let every one of the 500+ ponies get some exercise.
  20. Considering a GT350

    Great find on the auction photos. I actually went to see this car last week and the photos represent what the seller stated was repaired. He frequently flips rebuilt titled Shelbys and has solid yelp reviews. That said, the paint work was mediocre. Panel replacement was good. What boogered it...
