    Best OEM like shocks?

    Had a drive train issue, and the dealership had the car for awhile, and changed multiple parts. Finally fixed the issue, and shocks was a part that was replaced. Now it drives like a boat. I think I've hit the end of the shock several times in the few hundred miles I've driven it since the...

    Differential Housing isolators collapsed

    Dealer says they are obsolete (understandable), but then said it would take "some time" to find them. I searched google, but don't know what i'm looking for. I asked him to put the part number on the work order, but he didn't (picked car up late Saturday). I will be calling him Monday...

    Best all season for stock wheel?

    My coupe needs its, dare i say, possibly last set of tires. It will only see the winters and some early spring or late fall of San Diego's version of weather. So it will see some rain, (maybe?), so I'm thinking a decent set of All Seasons for her. When I was dailying her I had Nitto 555s and...

    Car doesn't start

    Starter? Battery is good (swapped it and same issue) Could it be anything else? It doesn't turn over at all, it just sits there, no clicking, nothing. Dealer wants $700 to fix.

    Cell phone mount?

    What are you using to hold your cell phone? I'm thinking something that mounts on the vents? I hate suction cups.

    Drivers side door panels

    Are these really hard to find? My internet skills aren't the best, but I can't find any New Edge door panels (not the inserts with the controls), but the whole panel, and nothing. Slowly putting some cash into the interior of my coupe and these look the worst, but seems like it will be a tough...

    Where do I put jack stands?

    Need to swap the good rear tires off my sick coupe to my convertible. Last time I did this is when I had two regular GTs and used the half shafts or maybe the diff. But because of the IRS and all the stuff back there, I didn't use them. Where is the safest place to jack the car with a floor...

    need new clutch

    So my brother was over (fixing my top on my vert) and I had him listen to my coupe. There is a huge screeching noise and he said immediately its the clutch. He suggested buying the best parts and having a transmission shop put them in. He would never have time to help do such a job as all the...

    Good place to take Cobra in San Diego?

    That isn't JBA? i took my Cobra in there cause it was making a noise and asked what they thought it was, they said it was probably the cats. I said I thought it was clutch related, he said no. They even took it for a spin. I didn't get the opportunity to take it in and have driven it very...

    2 Bluetooth at the same time?

    I looked on the web, and the manual, but can you have an S7 connected for phone use while using lets say an iPod touch connected via Bluetooth for audio? I abhor the way android apps handle music, and I abhor iPhones, but I really like the way iTunes handles music (don't hate!) Besides the...

    Convertible Top not going up

    So, one day, I walk by my car and there is fluid all over the right side of the car. After that, top wouldn't go up next time I drove it. Called Ford dealer to ask worst possible price and they said, nope, parts are obsolete. So I search the web and there are motors made for the car, like...

    How much gas do you keep in your secondary and tertiary cars?

    Now that i have my 3 car garage working, and all 3 cars are able to be driven, how much gas do you keep it in them? They each go maybe 20 miles a week, that's it. Is there anything special i should be doing to them? Both have battery tenders installed and plugged in.

    Finally got my 3rd car garage turned into a garage!

    My 17 Sport displaced my daily driver Cobra to the outside for 7 months. The 3rd car garage was a room when i bought the house 4.5 years ago, and i finally got the gumption to have it fixed. Wall torn down, garage door opener and rails installed, originally it was just the panels. All my...

    Since i have 3 cars now, and i'm working on the 3rd car garage access, I don't drive my Cobras much and last time the batteries appeared to have trouble starting. Both batteries are fairly new. What is the SOP for taking care of multiple cars when you can't drive them with the same frequency...

    2017 Ford Fusion Sport ~2500 mile update

    So...this morning i get in the car, push the START button and nothing happens. Lights flicker, there is clicking in the engine compartment, nothing works, very little internal lighting. Think of the Millenium Falcon in the Empire Strikes Back (trying to stay in good spirits here!). First...

    Fusion Sport 1000 mile update

    1000 miles in, heres what i think so far: 0) I have NOT read the manual yet. 1) Found the S button the other day (the happy fun button?). So yeah, you push that button and then mash on the gas and the car becomes a relative bullet. First tanks of gas I got 20 MPG, not really using...

    The "Terminator" Aura

    This is a definite real world thing. As you may or may not know, i recently purchased a 2017 Fusion Sport as my daily, as my Coupe for work has 198k on the clock. I have not driven my coupe around much in several weeks, but today I took it out as I needed to get it smogged and i went to...
