I would not expect any car dealer with a car for sale to say anything else.
Interesting post... what was wrong with the one you drove?
Not sure I would consider the stock exhaust "loud" by any margin. As mentioned above, is the valve even opening?
There is no mark needed as one of the flying bolt holes sits on a smaller radius than the others, meaning that 2 bolts won't go back in when...
Not sure. The car may be as fast as before but with a sharper throttle response it is a lot nicer to drive, and with a proper soundtrack. I also...
If I had stayed with my initial impressions of the 550 after a 30 mile drive I would have never purchased one. The throttle response was numb, the...
Do you still have the air duct between the undertray and the lower belt cover?
Quoted for correction.
I was in Fabios' 575M and I did not find it loud at all. My 550 with Fabio's race headers (no cats), Fabio's double H pipe and unvalved mufflers...
I'm not talking about the base of the switch which is always the same but only about the cover, which makes the difference between toggle and push...
Precisely not - the switch cover is what makes the difference on these cars between push-button switches and toggle switches. The Sport function...
Couldn't someone just 3D-print the specific switch cover common to the Sport/Foglight functions? On my F355 I had to sacrifice the fog light...
I drove my 550 quite a bit recently, adding around 1500 km in a month and John's set up still runs perfectly well. I cannot stress enough how the...
I still run Nick's prototype 550 harness. It has proven absolutely troublefree. Since then I haven't seen coolant temp exceed 90°C/190°F by much...
The reality is that you're likely to get ****ty cars that were maintained by Stevie Wonder rather than well maintained cars owned by conscious and...
You're welcome to come over, drop my engine and check the cam timing and feel yourself good if it's set wrong... If it's not then move on and stop...
Why? Why would they bother dropping the subframe when all the car needs is new timing belts? Yes you can, again if the cam timing is already set...
My guess is they didn't even have a look at it.
... Because it's all that's needed when the engine was previously timed correctly. No need to overthink it.
Precisely. If the timing is already right there absolutely f-all need to retime the engine when doing a belt job. For some reason some folks just...
