i went through 3 sets of GY f1s. Didnt grip unless they were hot. Ride got kinda rough after 9k or so. Switched to MP4S, never looking back. Got 66K on the clock now, wasted too many miles on GYs.
Pan sear ftw.
I use wild salmon (kirkland/Costco) in med/hi pan with coconut oil. Half tea spoon oil, flesh side down first approx three min. Finish with skin side down until skin is crispy like a chip. Salt and pepper to taste. No need to mask quality cuts with over seasoning or marinading.
I expected my steering wheel to be straight. Paid for alignment twice, they found their machine was messed up, didn't refund me for the initial test on messed up machine. I've lost all faith in dealers ethics. I have noticed there is no mention at the FORD dealership of "quality one" or what...
i shipped an excursion with 4 inch lift CA to MD. 1200$ Use a broker, be flexible with your time table. Dont take the first bid. Thats exactly how it works. The broker places your bid on a board, truck drivers reply with their bid. First they wanted 5k, i waited down to 2400, 30 days later...
Update:
Service writer suggested an oil level study, basically they perform oil change and I monitor level. Then i would return the car when the oil level drops. He also said that Ford has published data that says cars use any where from 3/4 to 1 quart per 900-1200 miles.
At first I was like...
I will take the advice. Just took 3 qts out of the case. I was review old service tickets from the dealer. Car leak at front timing cover. They used dye and found timing cover seal defect. They replaced cover seals, crankshaft seal, valve cover gaskets water pump seal.
I am sure same issues...
Its easier to keep the case unopened vs. nine quarts sloshing around in the trunk.
They will most likely only use 7 at most since they dont drain the oil cooler.
Goes to the dealership Monday with 12 qts and filter (Amsoil signature series) in the trunk. They want to change the oil and monitor the level. I also got a sample kit from Blackstone, will pull a sample tomorrow. I checked the coolant level and there is black stuff adhered to the side of the...
Curious, how much oil is consumed by daily/commuter driven Shelby? Asking because i changed oil last month using Amsoil signature series. Since then I have added more than 2.5 quarts to maintain level between dipstick graduation marks. I don't keep detailed records but i would expect that 2.5...
Skip all the technology. Get a basic top loading washer or what ever fits. I spent 1200 on the latest and greatest. Performed some maintenance on my dryer, and thats when i observed its just a cylinder and a heating element. So why pay extra for a electronic display. Really, next time i need to...
I am on my fourth cobra. I just bought my first home. 4 bed 2 bath fixer upper. Got it cheap, my DTI ratio was decent. Scraped to get down payment. What did i learn the hard way? CREDIT! Learn to leverage it.
I have the same leak, between cover and housing. Is this covered under warranty, I did buy the extended warranty. I hate going to the stealership. I keep finding oil drops on my driveway. Last time i changed the motor oil I couldnt find any evidence of a leak. Then it hit me, just like my 04...
Any car that an insurance company writes off as flooded is a "Katrina" car. Its title will show "Salvage NON-Repairable". Cant drive them on public roads. They are all race cars now! Act of Congress to protect consumers from buying junk cars. I lost a 04 cobra to slight water intrusion in 06...
I spoke to the sales GM and he put his best service writer on it. LOL. They swapped the front wheels with each other. Then called me to test drive it. Still slightly off center. Feel like it wonders on the crown of the road.
I have come to the conclusion that I can't keep taking it to the...
lets take some deep breaths. In... out...
Concrete looks great!. Go outside with your water hose and squirt off the concrete kick off your flip flops and walk bare footed on your new patio. Take some more deep breaths and be great full on how much money you saved and that you got to wake up...
OP said one of his struts is going bad. Was wondering how this is diagnosed. Maybe i want some struts as well. Forgive me for hijacking, not my intent. I would like to learn about front end geometry.
