This is going to be a difficult one to diagnose... Getting a burning smell from the front of the car after driving. Doesn't seem to matter if it is after spirited driving or not.. Smell is most notable from the drivers front wheelwell. I can also get a decent wiff of it towards the...

Did anyone get an invite to one of these events? I'm thinking about signing up for it.. The event gives you an overview of some Cadillac offerings, and then lets you run around the track for a couple laps in a CTSv coupe. I was invited to the one in West Palm mid October. I guess they...

Guys, I have maybe 3k on my Airaid filter, and it looks like it is dirtying up pretty quick. Have you guys noticed your filter losing its color fairly quick, and do you think I'll still be able to get around 20k miles before needing to service it? I live in Florida, and not near any dust or...

Guys, What do you use to keep the steering wheel with the alacantra/suede clean and not dried out. Also, the white stripes are showing discoloration on the seats. Car has only 6k miles on it and I don't think the dirt on the seas are too heavy. Any suggestions are appreciated. Jason

Guys, For those of you that have ordered from the Amsoil website and chose to pick it up at a local warehouse, how long did it usually take for that stuff to be ready? Does the warehouse stock this stuff and just put the order together, or is the product shipped to the warehouse? Just...

Taking a short vacation for a few days here in Florida. I suspect the love bugs aren't completely gone. I am just wondering what cleaning supplies you bring with you when you go on the road... I don't think I'll have access to a water hose, unless I try to find a self cleaning car wash...

Guys, This is on a 2010 gt500 with the nav pkg. If I have my sirius radio on when I am in the garage, and then pull out of the garage, it takes a very long time for sirius to aquire a signal. Around 5 miles down the road. If I start the car outside of the garage, sirius picks up...

Guys, What plastic pieces on the 2010+ gt500 does the VRT look good on? How much effect does it have on the rear diffuser? I like the color of the plastic as new, and don't want it to get any darker. Jason

Just window shopping in the local auto parts store and it looks like 5w50 is hard to come by.. Where are you guys getting your oil? Also, I was looking at race ramps, and curious which set you guys are using. Saw some on amazon for around 200 dollars 56 inch width ramps. Wondering if...

2010 gt500 stock. Occasionally I'll hear a sound like water/liquid running on a cold start and when i get underway or just slightly rev the engine. Weird to say the least.

woohoo!:banana: A couple questions... I still have my NXT 2 wax from my previous car. Anyone else using this wax on their cars? How do the stripes handle wax? I read somewhere that the stripes will swirl easily. The car had only 250 or so miles, and the engine bay is already pretty...

I am going in tomorrow to close a deal on a 2010 grabber blue gt500 with 400 miles on it... Then I happened to notice this 1-2 shift problem and the huge thread dealing with it.. I don't know if I want or if the dealer would even let me open it up and test the 1-2 shift so it is almost a...

Guys, I am noticing a miss randomly when I start my car up when the engine is still fairly warm. The miss will continue as it sits and idles, but when I go out and drive and come back, it no longer happens. The spark plugs have been replaced, what would the next step be? Thanks...

Guys, I have had this happen before and it would loosen itself up when i would hit a bump. I've read before to tap the window motor to get it to go down, but is there an easy way I can get in there without actually taking the whole plastic piece off? Thanks, Jason

I was wondering if there are some really good mechanics that are familiar with the Mustang other than the Ford dealership.. Having dealt with Greenway and not being completely satisfied with their service, I want to look somewhere else. Specifically transmission and IRS repairs...

It is a distinctive clunk clunk clunk from the rear end untill i come to a stop. The car definitely feels like it gets a little jumpy.. I'm thinking I broke one of the gears the way it feels. Any other things to look at before I send this thing to a mechanic? :( Should I take this...

The weirdest thing happened on my way to work this morning. Just before I left for work, I pressed the button to put the drivers window down and something fell inside the door that I can only assume came from the window assembly. I will definitely open it up when I get home, but it is...

I was going to turn the rear rotors before I put the new pads on but someone mentioned to me that I might not have to turn them at all and just replace the Pads. Can this be done? Thanks, Jason

Where is the cheapest place online or offlline to purchase our Cobra oem rotors and pads? Thanks, Jason

When i downshift, is it good to match RPM's? Do you have to double clutch in this circumstance? What if I press the clutch, match rpm's and then put it into a lower gear and release? Is that bad? Just wondering. Thanks, Jason

Today, I decided to give the car a little run from 1st to 3rd, and I noticed that when i went to put the clutch in to put the car into neutral after the run, the Clutch pedal was much further down, but still felt normal. When I got to the next light, i lifted up on the pedal, and it went back...

Back in November, I had the throw out bearing noise so I decided to head in to have it fixed. I come to find out that the flywheel and clutch assembly all needed replacing. I kind of questioned that because about 20k earlier, we had all sorts of issues with the car, and the clutch/tob etc were...

Well, after having tob bearing issues, ford found hotspots on the flywheel and a bad clutch. They replaced all these things and the clutch fork and now the car feels completely different. The clutch used to be stiff as hell now feels really light. The clutch engages nearly at the top of...

For the life of me I have searched this site but to no avail, could not find the pdf that had pictures and instructions on a proper quadrant and f/a installation. Does anyone have that or have a link to where I can get it. I need pictures :). Thanks, Jason

Right now the throw out bearing can be heard without a doubt at idle, and while in motion from 1500 to 3000 rpm's faster you go the faster the chirping is. Not sure how bad of a situation i'm in. My question is: What is the most fool safe way of getting the chirp to go away without having...
