The radio reception really sucks, even 20 miles from one of the biggest station in the US operating on a clear channel.

I have a buddy who worked for Honda and I asked why they didn’t install a certain $5 part that would make the car better...he said because Honda doesn’t want to spend $5 x a million cars if they have to pay for it, and there are tons of $5 improvements that they try to weed out to keep MSRPs as low as possible so consumers don’t have to pay for it.Performance Pack 1 & 2 optioned cars, should come with adjustable front suspension, camber/caster plates. You would figure that a performance car at this price level, would have more adjustability than just toe settings.
Jesus, I don't know how I didn't post about this earlier. I just did the first oil change and it took me 10 minutes to even find the dip stick under the strut bar. Along with the placement making the accuracy of the level seem questionable.You have obviously never checked your oil then.
Tried to check the oil this weekend. Ended up swearing profusely trying to do so.
WTF is up with that dipstick design? Can't get it out easily with that cross brace there and trying to insert it back down, it ends up bending and jamming up. The metal strip is way to flimsy. I don't know how accurate the oil level marker will be after it makes that twisty trip up and out dragging oil off as it goes. Need an aftermarket solution for this hindrance.
There are several types on the market. I chose the Red Line Struts. Install about 20-30 min.Thanks Bro. One of the strange reasons the hood rod doesn't bother me, is I had a '98 Cobra for 20years, and that had a hood rod- so I guess I'm semi used to it
Are the Gas struts hard to install? I have replaced them out on my H3hummer and it was cake
I've been to several 'Mustang Only' car shows. 99% of the 6th gen cars have gas struts. Guys must like them...I do.It's funny, I see cars that cost 10 times as much with a prop rod and no one complains.
Just watched a video on the Lexus LFA that comes with one...albeit carbon fiber.
The leather seats aren't any better. They hurt my back for a few weeks until I got used to them. I think I just don't sit with my hips fully back into them, or it would uncomfortably curve my back.I hate the seats. The lumbar support is way too high and there is a gap between mid-back and hamstrings. I had to make a custom foam roll for the gap to support my tailbone.
Getting rid of the sound tube plumbing helps on dipstick access btw.Dip stick issues on PP with engine stabilizer/strut- if you haven't figured this one out yet...Remove it from behind the engine brace/strut. Put it back in on the front side of the strut. That will prevent the bending/binding/cursing
Sir- I suggest aligning it properly asap. Mine was also misaligned and it kissed the inner fender lip by the rear window and chipped my paint. I was pissed. The dealership wanted to send it out to some external body shop to have the whole fender painted. That was a can of worms I didn't want to get into. I fixed the paint myself and realigned the trunk lid- that took me about 20-30minbut actual real complaints...i wish it had wireless carplay. my trunk is also misaligned horizontally. There is more gap between the decklid and tail lights on the driver side thant he passenger side (which has a very very thin gap).
How did you realign it? I currently don't have issues with paint but the gap is kind of annoying. All I saw were some bolts that raised and lowered the trunk so I wasn't really sure if there was an adjustment from left to rightSir- I suggest aligning it properly asap.
