Interesting brand that had a great blend of utility, features and price. I wanted something a bit different. Liked the combo of German MFG and Swiss movement.
I think at a certain point, the divergence is wee factor as in raw performance capability and bad assness which incorporates things such as looks, sound and performance "enough" to satisfy. I mean go get on a CBR600. For me the RS2 gives me everything I need performance wise and to me just...
I'm in the buy used arena. Depreciating asset. Dalying my 2018 Roush RS2 I got when COVID first hit for 39,500 w 6K miles on it. Still got long payment term. 449/mo. and Ford Extended Warranty. I'll never lose on this baby, then I can do something similar when I'm ready. Love my car and...
I think 40 degrees is the changeover point. I HIGHLY recommend two sets of wheels. Living in the north you'll change them twice per year and unless you work at a tire shop, you'll have to pay for the swap each time and have dudes jacking with your expensive wheels and tires that don't give a...
I'd say if you are checking your can at least once between OCIs you won't be accumulating enough to worry about. Unless you roll it and then a little oil in your intake probably won't be the problem.
Check Wal-Mart. The Automotive/Garage area at mine accepts containers of used oil. I'd encourage DIY. For the money saved, you'll be able to run premium brand synthetic, OEM Motorcraft filters and most importantly you know what was done.
Some aluminum foil and duct tape is your friend in...
Would be interesting to find out if the Mobil will stop it. I tend to think it won't and you just hit the tick zone. If not, I may switch from Castrol EDGE EP to the Mobil and try it w/o Ceratec. Till then, I'm tick free with one Ceratec bottle per fill with 5K OCI's. May be overkill but...
I'm with most of this. But for 5-8 bucks, I'm not going two intervals with the same oil filter. I'm sure like many things "it's fine," but if I'm going to go through the hassle of draining I'm going with a fresh filter too. Next is that yes according to the recommendations, you should use 2...
Since you've driven on both, I'm curious to how you feel about the difference. I've got Conti Extreme Sports for most of the year (Southern Indiana) and Conti DWS's for the sub 40 degree season. I'm happy for the most part and the Conti's were cheaper not that it's everything, but seem like...
If you were spending 60K you wouldn't be entertaining an RS3, but would be squarely in the range of an RS2 which (just a wee bit biased is a great car and plenty fast IMO). I think if you want something really special all things considered, go with the Roush. They produce a few hundred a year...
