Thanks! It actually has very good compression for something this old, I do wonder if the original owner put new rings in it at some stage.

@@DFBsGarage Maybe? not too hard to do. the whole motor rebuild is not hard either.

You're not the first to ask that question. They will be either Sulphur-crested Cockatoo's or Corella's, quite noisy birds.

Thought the exact same thing. He rarely gets into the water, so it's a somewhat foreign novelty for him.

Faych or Faychie, keeping the weird name spelling theme running in this family.

@dfbsgarage she likes that name😇

P&S Brake Buster, always undiluted on tires.

Thanks! And yes, apart from the occasional deep clean with an iron remover, I only ever wash these wheels with soap.

Wouldn't have it any other way!

Very subdued, there when you want it, gone when you don't.

Ha ha, she doesn't really have an exhaust note, so what you hear is about it. I kinda like it like that.

If you are in Australia, I got them from Dural Irrigation. Mine is the 19mm. duralirrigation.com.au/products/stainless-steel-braided-hose-mf?variant=48064178913599

The car or the polisher ha ha. The Rupes is so smooth, plenty of speed headroom, very natural to hold and use.

@@DFBsGarage Dude the car is bangin' i thought it's self explanatory xD Me as a European dream of owning an American muscle car one day (ohh the Camaro SS 67'), although i am a BMW guy 4 life. I don't get some of the hate on this polisher (especially the low power argument), for me it has plenty of power, sure it stalls but you can work it with techniqe (as with ALL DA that i worked with). Awesome tool. I love the smoothnes of it and the weight.

@@victoryensured7137 It broke my heart, but that Mustang I traded a month ago for a new S650. The new car is awesome but I'm still bonding with it. The old car nailed everything I love in a car, it sold at the dealer within a few days and I can only hope the new owner loves it as much as I did. I love how the internet can downgrade something they have probably never even used. The battery placement is not the issue some would have you believe.

@@DFBsGarage I agree fully at all you said! Also for me the battery is a non issue :) Man that S650 looks sick af, i hope you will love it, but the red one was a rocket, don't pout though, sometimes in life change is good even though we think it's not at first.

@@victoryensured7137 No pouting, I was ready for a change and I'm gradually falling in love with this new one and discovering how it ticks. The interior is the massive change, getting used to all the customizable stuff is taking longer than expected. The updated Coyote I can't wait to fully extend, its sound a rev happy engine and the 10-speed makes the most of that.

Certainly will, can't wait to open the taps a little.

Thanks Dave, much appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Yep, the first wash is like a bonding moment, as I'm sure you will understand.

Thanks! Armour Detail Supply Quartz for the paint, along with their High Temp Wheel Coating.

Agreement to all of that, they were/are the best commercial lawn mower ever made. Even in Australia, parts are starting to get hard to find. And too have had 2 of these.

@@DFBsGarage How old is your Rover Pro Cut 560? I've always wanted to know why Rover decided to stop manufacturing the Pro Cut 560. I stay in the UK and parts were once easy to get a hold of but now I've had to revert to getting spares from a mower company out in Australia. It's good as they've been able to post out the parts to me to Scotland. Would love to see the Pro Cut 560 back in action, they beat any other mower.

Took me a while to find an Australian supplier, expensive but worth it. They also make 360-degree swivel version too. ccassolutions.com.au/product/prevost-air-coupling/

This Mustang has been my first manual performance car, it took me a while to adjust but it's been a really fun experience. For my S650, I've gone for the 10-speed auto this time. The long gearing of the later MT-82 manual is what made me go for the 10-speed. If they put the Tremec across the range, that would be a different story.

End of October for my S650. Autogeek is back up and running again, hope to see you back there soon.

@dfbsgarage I'm checking right now, thanks👍👍 We'll all be so glad when you get your new ride😎

@@klasseact6663 It's been two years this September. Who would think that a Ford would take this long to be made.

@@DFBsGarage I can't get on AutoGeek's forum through my usual path, Tapatalk😋

@@klasseact6663 I think Dave had issues with that too, I've always used on a PC. It's a completely different look/software.

Thanks on both counts!

It certainly is, I've been cordless for a number of years now. The exception to that being the Rupes LHR75 pneumatic, which I just love using even if it means dragging an air hose around.

@@DFBsGarage I'm workin' a HLR 15 and lately i bought a PXE-80, man what a great combo, i can get 98% of all cars with it. Cordless is godliness.

I think that's where a lot of guys go wrong with Coyote powered Mustang's, choosing "over the top" exhaust systems that make a lot of noise, not all of them pleasant. In this case, keeping a resonator keeps the rasp out of the equation.

Yep, very addictive!

There is a reason why I call it a V8 powered anti-depressant, that sound never gets old!

Hey mate, are you on Instagram? If so, give me a follow, I would hate to lose touch re Autogeek being on its last legs.

@dfbsgarage I'm not on the usual social media sites, do you still have my email address? I really thought they'd figure it out 🤷‍♂️

@@klasseact6663 I emailed them today, but I suspect this is the end, which is really sad. A lot of people, including you and I, have put heart and soul into that forum. I've checked my email, but I can't find your address. Are you on any other forums?

Sure is! In fact, the whole ADS product lineup is impressive.

Not sure to be honest. I'm pretty generous with the dose rate on soaps, so using less product would thin it down.

They have such a distinctive sound, always reminds me of my grandfather and his Victa.

In standard form, the Kranzle KHD-10 does 2.64 GPM and about 1850 psi from the OEM 4.2 nozzle orifice. I'm running the machine with a Mosmatic gun and nozzles with a 4.5 orifice, which has it at about 1500 psi and 2.8 GPM.

It's considerably louder than the stock exhaust. Keep in mind this is a pre-facelift S550, these early examples had a very subdued exhaust note. I don't normally modify cars, but the stock exhaust was just far too quiet. Australia has much stricter noise emission standards, so the Borla Touring with the resonator is on the boarder line of legal.

Sure does, even on the other side of the world! Loud and Proud!

@@DFBsGarage does it have a resonater🤔

It has the Borla resonated H-Pipe rather than a regular H or X-pipe, reducing drone and raspiness. @@klasseact6663

Not sure yet, with the Active Exhaust, Ford sort of nailed the sound. I think I may just replace the factory resonator with a Borla X or H pipe and leave the rest alone. At least with the Active, you can tone it down depending on mode selected.

Thanks! Not bad for a completely stock vehicle!

25:1 was the and still is the recommended ratio. Victa sells a 50:1 2-stroke oil, but they still recommended a 25:1 ratio for their engines right up until they were discontinued.

Thanks! I bought it brand new in May 2015, so 8 years old now. I sort of bought it as a keepsake when Victa signaled the end of their 2-stroke engines, so it gets occasional use or when I need something to tackle extra-long grass, can't beat a 2-stroke for that!

@@DFBsGarage Agreed, they eat through anything you throw at them without a complaint. Wish they still made them, would buy a new one in a heartbeat. I’ve been trying to find a 2014-16 one for ages now but I can’t seem to find them unfortunately. Any idea on where to find one?

The alloy base models are harder to find, but they occasionally pop up on Facebook Marketplace, on Gumtree or at your local tip resale shop.@@Thee.Trainspotter

@@DFBsGarage Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out for them.
