    New Pony in the barn.

    This is what I've decided to show for now. Like @Noobz347 said, it's subject to change a day, week or month from now. RPM/Gear - Air/Fuel - Cylinder Head Temp. - Incoming air temp - MPH Don't need Vac. or Oil pressure because they are physically on the dash center.

    New Pony in the barn.

    Took some time at lunch today to get into the meat of the display. So many options, but some good info can be cycled for display by using the arrow buttons on the steering wheel. Sport Mode with the variable displays of info in the center.

    New Pony in the barn.

    I wish the drive mode toggle switch was closer, the thing resets every time the car is turned off. I did manage to find the controls for the cluster and ambient lighting. (now it's all green instead of red.) The layout of the steering wheel buttons is good because it's familiar, similar to the...

    Ceramic Coatings... Yes or No, and why.

    correction on my part, detailer said probably starting at $700. He said the prep work (if any) is what will increase the price.

    Ceramic Coatings... Yes or No, and why.

    I talked with Ford and they said on a new car, a ceramic type coating can be put on top of their protectant sealant without voiding it’s warranty. The detsiler I’ve been talking to use a product that ends up being 9 microns thick and has the ability to self heal from minor scratches. He...

    Not just any general maintenance oil change. From what I read, it requires a different oil weight for running 1/8 and 1/4 miles. After the track event the oil should be drained again and replaced with oil suitable for daily driving.

    New Pony in the barn.

    Perhaps when the tires are due for replacement. I've been reading about some of the capabilities of the settings available and for drag mode, it requires a complete oil change for running drag track conditions. They don't tell you this in the sales room at the dealership.

    New Pony in the barn.

    Throttle response is great. It is still smooth on the low side and it does pickup much faster at higher rpm. Just cruising from a dead stop and easing up in speed 0-35 feels smooth in 2nd and then from 35-45 occurres in a split second befor shifting into 3rd. Inside the bay.

    I see a lot of stuff my generation will probably never use, but for what I do use, the layout/features has me covered.

    New Pony in the barn.

    Man what a difference 16 years of engineering and technology can make!! It's a fully upgraded model with the exception of the Recaro seats. I didn't want the Recaros because you have to weigh less than 180 and still be young enough that your nutz have yet to drop to get into those things. I...

    New Pony in the barn.

    So after 16 wonderful years, the opportunity and time came to say farewell to the ‘03 GT. After a year of contemplation, I decided to bite the Bullitt (pardon the pun) and do what made me happy for a change. If this one can still put a smile on my face 2 decades from now, like my GT, then I...

    Ceramic Coatings... Yes or No, and why.

    Thinking of getting this done to the new car to help protect the paint. Anyone with experience in having this done to their vehicle or from anyone that does applications, please educate me on what does or does not work. Thanks.

    Lighting in my 2-car garage

    I know the application is different but the technology is the same. I recently had a halogen floor lamp burn out and decided it was just simply time to replace it with LEDs for energy and heat reduction. I bought two from Amazon for $70 a piece. They are very bright, (individually) almost as...

    Leaking Town car

    It would if there was a river, unfortunately the river is currently residing in the damn foam under the carpet. Still unable to plug the leak as well. So it remains tarped.
