I've been running mine in Florida heat for 3 years, you won't have cooling issues with the top up (though I would recommend getting a windshield shade when you park it in the sun for an extended time). The heated seats and steering wheel are great with the top down in the winter, and the cooled...
Was your quote including labor for removing the calipers from the car, painting them, and re-installing them? I pulled mine off and had them powder coated, cost me $350. I did the G2 paint first, and didn’t like the results. Search caliper paint in the forums if you’re considering the G2, some...
I was washing my car last Friday, and noticed someone had stolen both the splash guards from behind the front tires. Who the hell steals mud flaps in 2020?!? They weren’t even the cool ones like the truckers have, with the sexy chrome lady on them (Yes, that’s a joke folks, my taste is...
I had the same dash rattle, drove me crazy. When I dropped it off for an oil change I asked them to check it, and of course they couldn't hear it. I was pretty sure it was being caused by the dash panel vibrating against the bottom of the center speaker grill, so I had them put some tape...
I don’t know about a drill, but my 20v Dewalt cordless impact does it with no problems. I bought a cheap set of torque tubes from Amazon, and keep the 150lb. tube in the spare tire well. I’ve gone back with the torque wrench after using the impact and torque tube, and they’re spot on. I don’t...
The H pipe comes out straight on one side, and slightly bent on the other side (passenger side I believe). If they put it on upside down, it will cause the exhaust to be uneven, and it can only be corrected by flipping the H pipe over. Might be something to look at.
No matter what the cause, you...
I bought the spare tire and jack kit immediately after I got the car. It's expensive, but worth the peace of mind. I keep a large torque wrench pre-set to 150lbs in the back of the spare tire well, along with an impact socket, a 150lb impact torque tube, several pairs of latex gloves, and some...
First off, let me just throw out that I'm biased: my last Mustang was a Canary Yellow 95 GT convertible, and my current one is the most obnoxiously bright blue you can find, Velocity Blue. That being said, if you like the green go for it. Whether it's coming out of a grocery store, looking at...
Another cheap way to improve the sound is sound deadening. A few months ago I ordered some Kilmat from Amazon for $57. I put a layer on the inside of the door panels top stop them from rattling, and had a lot of material left over. It stopped the rattling, but didn't make much of a difference...
Just to clear up a little confusion, a non-PP car will ride much smoother than a PP without MR, but a PP with MR might ride smoother than a non-PP car. I test drove a PP car, and the ride was too bumpy for me for a daily driver, so I went with a non-PP car. To echo what everyone else has said...
I know the feeling. My last car was a GMC Terrain, perfectly fine vehicle, immaculate condition, averaged 8,000 miles a year. I have a company car, so I’d go weeks without driving it, and the wife never drove it. I bought the convertible last May, and I’m at 18000 miles in the first year. I...
You don’t have to rebuild them, or break them all the way down. Remove bleeder screws, and brake shoes. The powder coater can mask off the piston surfaces when they sand blast them and powder coat them, or at least that’s what they did with mine. Look around for a powder coater with...
Yup, definitely grabbing it to go. We’re eating out 2-3 times a week, but only at our local places, trying to help them survive until the world goes normal again. On the other hand, it’s strangely liberating to pick up 2 taco dinners and two 32oz. Margaritas to go. Strange days my friend!
Here's a link to the photoshop request thread that I looked at before I decided on yellow for mine. Scroll about half way down the page and you'll find a bunch of photo shops of different color calipers on a lightning blue car...
