  1. Key battery low message won't go away

    2015 GT. Key battery apparently got low & I got the "key battery low error message". Replaced batteries twice on that key as well as have tried the other key, message still comes back whenever I stop or start the car. Anyone know how to kill the error message? Have not yet disconnected main car...
  2. 2015, worry about software update?

    Have a 15 PP without all of the fancy synch stuff, the Ford website tells me that there is a software update for it. Tried what I could think of to make the update work according to Ford website info & nothing happened. Is there anything to 15 updates that makes them worth fretting about?
  3. intermittent check engine light & dealer can't find problem

    Have 25,000 miles on my GT PP. It is stock except for Ford Racing cat back and MGW shifter. Starting a few months back the cel will come on for a a few days and then go off for a few days for no apparent reason. The car has always ran great. Took it to the dealer and they could not find...
  4. Abuse that the car can tolerate well ?

    By the time I could afford a nice sports car I was too old to put the hammer down on it without worrying about breaking things. Anyway, is there any advice anywhere on what hammer down fun things (I'm thinking about tire smoke & hard shifting between gears) can be done without being just...
  5. Consumer reports loves the M235

    So I got my March 16 issue & page 60 gives the BMW the only "much better than average" predicted reliability rating of the 15 cars listed. Mustangs are rated "much worse than average" and the icon of sporty reliability Mazda MX-5 only comes in at "better than average". I am now confused...
  6. mgw shifter installer near Evansville ?

    Would like to find somebody with a good reputation that has done the install, near Evansville would be ideal but anywhere within a 3 hour drive could be made to work.
  7. 1st polish = better looking than new

    Finally got around to waxing. Might be a metal flake thing, but after the wax job the paint really popped like it never had before. For what it is worth.
  8. Mechanic did not put dipstick back after oil change

    Had my dealer change oil at 5k. About 1000 mi later went to check oil and the dipstick was gone. Do not have a new dipstick yet, but there is no sign of oil mist or dripping around engine. Assuming that I find the oil level is ok when the dipstick arrives (not sure how a mechanic could...
  9. how often do you need to check lug nut tightness?

    Just found some of mine to be very easy to remove when changing to my summer wheel set. Could have been an installation error when I swapped to all season tires on the original wheels or it could be that I was just ignorant about knowing I needed to go back and check lug nut torque after so...
  10. Rear caliper covers for a good price ??

    Would like to do something about the ugly calipers on the rear of my GT PP, anyone know of an option that is not pricey?

    Anyone know?
  12. replacing tire sealant canister

    Had a flat on my lawnmower, lots of rain was coming & I was anxious to get the yard cut while I had a chance. Used the GT PP tire compressor & sealant kit. It worked. Went to replace the sealant canister and found that Ford wanted $45.00. OUCH. Flushed the sealant canister with water...
  13. Does an earlier model tire jack kit work?

    Have a 15 PP that came without an option for a spare tire. Am old & cheap & paranoid. Would like to buy a tire jack kit ($180.00 + from Ford for just the jack & no tire, ouch!) from one of the auto salvage places. Does anyone know if a 2010-2014 or even something earlier kit would work?
  14. TPMS sensor lead time.

    There are probably several folks like myself who have (or want to order) new wheels, but don't want the wheels until they can get TPMS sensors for them. Figured I'd post what I think I know & perhaps others can chime in as lead times & etc change. 1. There are two TPMS options, vendor can...
  15. Best tire width for handling ?

    Was wondering if there is any test data (ideal) or experience for the best width if you are strictly interested in canyon road or track performance.
  16. No aftermarket jack & spare kit for the PP?

    I figured one of our enterprising vendors would have something put together by now but I have not found it. Would really like a Jack & clamp kit so I could just throw in a spare front & be good to go.
  17. Why don't exhaust systems have dyno data?

    Not picking on any particular manufacturers, things seem to be the same across the board. Anyone know why we are seeing several exhausts developed already but no dyno data for them? Coming from a motorcycle background I had assumed that dyno runs would be part of developing an aftermarket...
  18. A fast car does not make me a good driver

    Anybody else having trouble driving sensibly? Durn car gets to 90 without any sign of effort, begs for throttle and hard braking, & just feels too relaxed taking corners faster than I ought to. Am hoping I can get back to adult behavior before an issue with police or physics takes me there.
  19. Holy crap those visor stickers are ugly!!

    Anybody know of a how to for getting rid of them without screwing anything up? They start off looking nasty & keep getting worse every time you climb in the car.
  20. Best wheel size for handling and feel ?

    18's ? Or will sidewall flex (or some other construction factor) make 19's a better choice?
