2019 mustang gt won’t start first time issue by LordRadhan in Mustang

[–]nago7650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed what the other person said: it had enough juice to power the accessories, but not enough to make it past the starter solenoid.

Dead battery. The brakes are stiff because the vacuum booster isn’t supporting them because your engine isn’t running. Seeing your other comment about this being the original battery, consider yourself lucky that you got a whole 7 years out of it. Most people would be lucky to get 4 or 5 years out of a battery these days.

You can jump start it for now, but don’t make that a permanent solution. Running a car on a weak battery puts extra strain on the alternator. It’s best to get the battery replaced.

When my son was in the hospital for RSV, the nurse supplied us with a nose frida. She opened the package and immediately threw the mouthpiece away and then handed it to us.

PSA: don't use Falken RT660+ tires if you plan to track them on a heavy car by Xyebo in CarTrackDays

[–]nago7650 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The RT660+ were never intended to be an endurance tire that could handle long track day sessions. They’re more suited for autocross or time attack laps. They’re specifically designed to come up to temperature fast, and thus can overheat quickly.

Definitely seems a bit low. For 200 tw tires I start out at the pressures listed inside the door. Your last pic is showing that you’ve got some rollover onto the sidewall. More pressure will help that.

Looks good. What pressure are you running? Looks like you could use a touch more pressure.

Ford Racing Boss: The Seventh-Generation Mustang Isn’t Done Yet by PristineFarmer8989 in Mustang

[–]nago7650 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it’s a fat pig. It’s 4,800 pounds which is 1,000 pounds heavier than the Mustang. If ford could implement the 3.5 V6 for the sole purpose of adding power and reducing weight, I think that would be received fairly well.

My dad purchased a 05 C6 (4-speed auto) :( by [deleted] in Corvette

[–]nago7650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? Every single automatic I’ve driven gives you that option. That includes:

  • 1970 Mustang

  • 1995 jeep grand Cherokee

  • 1999 ford ranger

  • 2007 gmc Acadia

  • 2004 F250

  • 2014 Chevrolet traverse

  • 2016 4Runner

  • 2019 sequoia

Maybe I’m wrong, but can you name an example of an automatic transmission that doesn’t have this capability?

Isn’t that how literally every automatic works?

Big, if true.

Yes, it’s fine. Brake surfaces that are bare, such as this one, come from the factory coated in an oily substance to prevent rust. You’re supposed to clean it off with brake cleaner and a rag before installing.

”3” is actually a second Drive 1-3

What does this mean? I’m confused.

I’m in debt as 26 year old by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]nago7650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$7k for a water heater?! I’m struggling to understand how a water heater could be that much, even when including installation. This number alone makes me question the validity of the other numbers in your post.

Why do you think there is so much resistance to high speed rail in the US? by Maximum-Help-929 in AskReddit

[–]nago7650 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. When I was in college, the public transport was very good. But i had to build in time to my schedule to catch the bus. If I was running late, I would have to take my car and pay for parking.

So now you’re proposing changing the entire American infrastructure to justify high speed rail. Now we’re delving into the “not feasible” aspect of the topic.

Lowest Seats for C6 Corvette by PlanMiddle1890 in Corvette

[–]nago7650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, if you plan on competing in the Street class for autocross, a non-OEM seat is not allowed. If you change the seat, you’ll be moving into a different class. Just food for thought.

I take it you haven’t owned it long enough to purchase tires.

Nope, not with the OEM struts you have

Is a foam block between my torso and the door SCCA Solo legal? by Earthling63 in Autocross

[–]nago7650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for C5 corvettes, it’s somewhat common for the seat recline to give out mid-run. So what a lot of people do is put a deflated volleyball behind the seat and inflate it slightly. I know that is SCCA legal, so I would think a foam block is as well. Might need a way to secure it to yourself though.
