Yeah, not turning on at all. I don’t think it’s my imagination either. When they used to turn on, it was audible. Now, regardless of A/C running or not, I hear nothing
I’ll start with topping off the coolant and see if that has any positive effect. If not, I’ll have to see what else it might be...
Oh? It’s a good inch and a half below the “minimum” mark. I always heard that if it’s not filled to capacity air pockets can be introduced into the system
What else do you think it could be? Just a bad thermostat?
Hey all
So, the other day I took the car out for a spin and hit a bit of traffic. While idling, CHT got up to 229. Which is the highest I’ve seen. Fans never turned on
We’ll, when I got home I let the car cool down and when I checked the coolant level the next day, this is what I saw...
Go for the Apex EC-7 or EC-7RS. 21.5 lbs and 20 lbs, respectively
I have them and love them. You will notice the 14 pound (if I remember the PP1 wheel weight accurately) per corner weight loss immediately
Disagree with everyone who has said that braces are useless. How can tying the two sides of your car (shock towers) to the fire wall be of no benefit?
You’ve created a giant rigid triangle. No more flex.
My car is a base 2016 GT. There’s train tracks that I have to cross if I want to get to...
Ok, idiot alert here
I just got back from a drive. Parked the car in the garage and hooked it up to my OptiMate battery tender.
The only problem: I swapped the terminals and hooked the negative cable to the positive terminal and the positive cable to the negative terminal.
I know; a real...
Except the Mustang is Ford's flagship! Unlike Chevy which had the Camaro and the Corvette, the performance model for Ford has always consistently been the Mustang. The GT40 has always been an expensive year or 2 special and then it disappears
Ford should have invested in the Mustang's...
It's not a useless metric. There's a reason it came about. It tests a multitude of aspects of a car. Grip, chassis sophistication, power to weight ratio, weight distribution, electronic/software advancements.
Why do you think that Porsches are so adept at the 0-60 blast? They've been...
I didn't miss your point. You missed my point. A engineering minded company will find ways to improve a model. Chevy decided to. Ford hasn't.
Sounding silly is all you, my man.
No, I get what you're saying but that's what the base GT is for. For the person who wants the V8 cruiser AND the comfy ride. But even the PP cars have all that rubber.
And really, you can do away with all that rubber sloppiness in the sub frame and still have a comfy ride via a good spring...
I mean, don't get me wrong. Ford switching from the solid rear axle to the independent rear was a very important and vital step. I just wish that they would have given it more thought. It's just so sloppy back there. Rubber everywhere. It's just not a nice feeling when you're going hard in the...
I agree with this. Found it very annoying that I couldn't get the Performance Pack on my automatic equipped 2016 GT. Had to buy all the components separately and install them myself. Ford wised up from 2018 onward.
S197, S550 (S550 refresh) S650.
What I'm saying is that Ford made no progress in acceleration between the S197 to the 15-17 S550 then made a small step from 15-17 to 18-23 then no step from there to the s650
Congrats on proving my point for me. Chevy decided to devote the time, resources and finances to engineer a better product.
Ford for S550 to S650:
"Hey, let's plaster a massive iPad to the dash, give it some hideous, busy-body styling, and call it the S650 to fool buyers into thinking that...
