Boggles my mind when someone scrapes with the Sto-n-Sho. That bracket hangs less than 1/2" lower than the front lip, meaning your car needs to be bagged or something to scrape. Best $75 I've spent, looks great and is very easily removeable.
Tesla M3 Performance is low, fast AF and has perfect handling because all the weight is in the floor. They could easily do the same for a Mustang. Mach-E is the shape it is to compete with the crossover market, the name has nothing to do with anything, other than marketing.
Absolutely. I replace every battery I have after 3 years, 4 is often pushing it. NJ weather ranges from 100 degrees to snowing in a week sometimes (okay, a slight exaggeration) but it takes its toll. Most manufacturers have a core warranty of 36 months, because they're not meant to last and they...
I love that on the highway, it's a smooth and comfortable cruiser. I hate that on literally any bump larger than a penny, the entire car shakes and slams and crashes like it's falling apart. Oh, and I REALLY hate that the sunglass holder (where hand sanitizer is kept) is so close to the trunk...
Took off all the eBay tint and hash fender stripes. The darkened look was growing old, and decided not to be boy-racer anymore. The car is a reliable, comfortable cruiser, nothing more. Cheers to (fairly) stock.
Any interest in a used NxtStep/Acceletec AB? Looks incredible, sounds very deep and sporty, but the wife is annoyed with the increased volume and happy wife, happy life. Gauging interest if I do mount the stock mufflers back on, probably would be a couple hundred or so. Used for less than a...
My favorite is when something horrifically wrong happens and the list of "mods" is pages long and forces the powertrain to do things it was never designed to do long-term. Like, there's your problem.
This brings up a good point. I know the fabric guard is for water repellant purposes more than UV protection. This type seems to be for the best - does it bead up like the Fabric Guard? The UV is what breaks down the stiching and seams. Edit: I ran the math and you would need to buy 8 spray...
The fabric protector is what comes with the kit. The kit also includes a top cleaner, of which a light mist is best. The cleaner bottle will last you years. Use a soft bristle brush (I ordered a gentle horsehair off Amazon, and trimmed the edges at 45° angles) and agitate lightly. You'll use the...
They are. If you're in sport (shifter) - you don't need to also select Sport+ (toggle). You will never have a smooth drive in either, since the AT will automatically rev high and shift quickly, leading to harsh ride. You can smooth things out by using the paddles, so you have better acceleration...
I very rarely every use Sport+ toggle. It's not needed. Shifter in "S", paddles in second, have a smooth take off then rapid click them around 3-3,500 rpm. You won't be jerked around and still get the power delivery you need/want.
If using Sport mode, use the paddles. I even suggest starting in 2nd gear to let the turbo spool smoothly. 3/4/5 can be clicked at 3k, then 6-7-8-9 at 3,500 rpm. 10 as overdrive, but above 45 mph, it'll hold around 6 gear, so just triple tap up and let the rpms settle in. If you don't use the...
Chiming in: sport mode is much faster (lower rpms) and harder shifts, but I do find that lifting EVER so slightly before it snaps up a gear helps to smooth things out nicely. I also notice that first gear, in Sport, shifts to second much higher than the other gears. I'm assuming this is due to...
