The G Man

BTW, they’re only rated to 7 degC

Erm, I’ve read some of this, but has anyone pointed out scrubbing in the tyres? If so, apologies for mentioning. For what it’s worth and, in my experience, P Zeros are sh1te, they came as standard on my current car, but lo and behold, the facelift model came with MPS4S, not sure if this was because of customer feedback or not. However, I’m currently running P Zeros on my spare set of wheels, at +15 degC they are superb, in the dry. At the hint of a moist or cold day, I adjust my driving accordingly

Jeezo, some antagonistic posting here, it’s just a cleaning product, not like anyone is advocating using fairy liquid (although I did use it on my Volvo 144 before the internet was invented and I was an impoverished 17 year old apprentice )

Don’t listen to doom goblins, buy one, or get a ‘Maser’. Your shout buddy, wouldn’t slate it one way or another, your dosh.

Best colour

Cooling seats are pretty good as well As far as twisties go, twice over the Alps, up and down the Gorge du Verdun, more than capable Really easy car to live with long term, servicing is cheap, mods, generally, are cheap (VAT and duty from US not so cheap ). Stan and Marzman made a good choice

Nice write up Stan The menus on the dash with the graphic oil temp, vacuum, etc. are useful to gauge when to start ‘using’ the loud pedal. The sat nav has a home setting btw, on sync2 anyway. the 61ltr tank can take you well over 300+ miles, even at Autobahn speeds, more at a more sedate pace. Get the car over to Europe buddy, it’ll become even more apparent how good a GT the Mustang is, so far I’ve done a road trip to Lake Garda, Bergamon in the South of France (including the WHOLE route Napoleon) and Le Mans. Heart is set on a Whipple, however the dollar exchange rate is particularly poor, so going to pull the trigger on a power pack upgrade from JWR. Zed like? You better believe it, you just can’t stop modding a ‘Stang You will always be let out of junctions, people love the car, more than generally, it’s an icon and three years in, nothing else takes my fancy at the mo. enjoy and keep posting your Stang life

IIRC, from the manual and the door jam sticker, 36psi, 40-45psi is too high

Have a look at this, particularly to the ‘if it flashes then goes solid’ part. There are a couple of vids on how to reset them, but it would seem that like Ford, a tpms reset ‘tool’ might be required (Ford does have the option of driver resetting). If they’re not faulty (re the flashing/solid warning), my guess is that Nissan would reset for free, if still under warranty, replace free.

If you’re confident re pressures, just reset them and monitor any ongoing issues. All sorts can affect them, heat, cold and of course, low pressure. If the car has recently had new tyres, it could well be a broken/‘dodgy’ sensor.

Good choice sir. Lobo?, the wolf that changed America, after all it’s Coyote powered

Check the glove box or the two compartments behind the seats for the wheel nut key, I’m pretty sure they don’t come with a jack IIRC

.......a V8

Best TaTa ever

Couple of ‘man’ vehicles

Just for clarity, the Mustang was cheaper to service than any of my Z’s. FWD Focus? No idea, my Mrs Mazda 3 was more expensive than the Mustang to service, in all but one service, when we used an independent for the Mazda. it all comes down to main dealer labour costs, some charge £90+ plus VAT ffs. But if you want a Maserati, get one, it’s your dosh Nothing else matters, but better than a layman’s guess is an experienced owners experience of two out of three of your choices. If I could afford it, I’d buy a NEW Maserati over any Ford (other than GT 350/500 or Bullit) or Nissan.

My AVR was well dated, an old Technics one, connectivity was the failing on it, had DTS but was not up to modern HDMI connections. The Sony one is an entry level one but had fantastic reviews compared to the competition for the price. I like the ARC from the AVR to the tv, so all the inputs go in the AVR and out to the tv through a single HDMI to its ARC input. Speakers are similar to this set https://www.teufelaudio.com/uk/home-cinema/columa-300-easy-5-1-set-l-p18197.html, Looked at Kefs Atmos speakers but couldn’t get the definitive answer as to whether it was crucial for them to sit directly on top or could be used just placed on the unit in front of my tower speakers. All the stuff I’ve got is probably entry level and I’m not able to bi wire any of the speakers. The AVR can put out a ‘phantom’ set of surround to push out 7.1, adding the two Atmos speakers should give me 7.1.2 capability. you're spot on with the lack of atmos sound through most media sources, BT Sport 4K put it out and some sky channels. Mainly it’ll come from 4K blu Ray. Haven’t wired up the Atmos speakers yet, ran out of banana plugs so need some more. I have got good quality cable from Teufal though. From what I’ve read, the Atmos can be very subtle, or non existent if not set up correctly. The more I read into it, the more I was taken down rabbit holes by the techy geeks on AV forums and you tube reviews.

To be fair, the GT was just as noisy, tyre roar wise, I think they’re both poorly insulated. You will get more than 6k out the P Zeros, however they are shocking when temps are low (like most summer tyres really, rated down to 7C) or it’s a bit damp. MPS4S are a preferred option for most and getting rid of the P Zeros ASAP. i line locked mine to death before getting MPSS all round outside the tyre shop

What’s the objective? Only asking because the last photo is confusing, as in, looks like a pile of untidy stones I admit I haven’t read all the thread ....and that fence looks like damp is affecting it im sure the grammatical and engineering principles are sound and I’m missing something?

BTW, I’ve no idea what I’m doing!

Well, I’ve recently invested in a Sony AV receiver and, I’ve invested in a basic set up to compliment my teufal 5.1 home cinema system https://www.teufelaudio.com/uk/accessories/reflekt-p16570.html. Has anyone, and I appreciate that I’m a latecomer to this technology, got any pointers and/or recommendations, bearing in mind that I’ve just laid out, however have no fears for improving, an Atmos system, or any tips to improve sound? Room size is 40 sq m

I’ve had both. The 370 Nismo, is a great car, there are some compromises, No1 being the cabin drone. If you’re planning any long Euro/UK (?) tours , keep off the motorway , the tyre noise will drive you mad. That said, the Rev match is a neat trick, loved it . It’s relatively practical as well, being a ‘hatchback’, never did a Euro trip in either the 370GT nor the Nismo, however, I believe they would be pretty good, motorway driving aside. Mustang, for little money, massive mod capabilities, massive power capability, practicality, presence, affordability (3rd year service £220), V8’ness, comfort, bulletproof engine, floor to ceiling, back to front bullet proof warranty (on new-3 years old), comfort, heated/cooling seats etc, etc,. The facelift model is a direct lift from the Ford owners community regards modifications, now includes active exhaust and suspension (magnaride) as an option, tri-bar drl’s, etc, etc,. Compared to a 5-10 year old Maserati, who knows, neither do most who whore this as an option, most have never had one, neither have I, so I can’t comment as much as the “never have owned mob”. i have owned and continue to own one of the two options you’re looking at, given the choice? Hands down, Mustang 5.0GT, I’ve got a manual, but would have the auto in a heartbeat. Good luck with your choice, whatever it may be

Been reading your cleaning threads, if that counts?

No, I’ve changed my mind, it’s Brazilian The Ford Focus (first generation) is a compact car that was manufactured by Ford in Europe from 1998-2004 and by Ford in North America from 1999-2007. Ford began sales of the Focus to Europe in July 1998 and in North America during 1999 for the 2000 model year. Manufacturing in Argentina continued until 2008, and it was still on sale in Brazil until 2009.

Yes, well done, you got there.
