Factory PP suspension was *not* good.
I put Steed shocks and linear springs on my car and not only did it handle better, but it rode better.
Weird thing is, I put my GTPP shocks, along with some Steeda progressives, on my wife's base Ecoboost, and it made it ride better.
I just don't think the...
I live up here and my car is still in storage and we're keeping off the mountain for now.
Just last week they were plowing/salting the mountains (blood, unicoi). Yes, plowing. That's how much snow we got just last week.
Give it through March and we'll be good.
Only reason I know is because I looked up all the part numbers in order to do the swap on my wife's Ecoboost. The "upper splitter" for the PP2 is indeed a different part than the PP1 splitter.
I wonder if it has something to do with airflow in the engine compartment due to the PP splitter/belly pan.
Also, I would definitely try putting the stock thermostat in. Just to see what happens.
I expect exactly what happened with the S197.
You had the major re-design just before the Coyote, then for 13-14 you had headlights/taillights.
2018 wasn't a crazy redesign. Just a newish front clip and, rear valence, and taillights.
I can see them introducing a new front/rear next year, then...
I'm open to the used market, too. And even older bodies.
I'd say up to $1k for the body. But that's not to say $1100 or $1200 is out of the question if it's a huge jump from 1k to 1.1k if that makes sense.
I guess....it really depends where that really good "bang-for-the-buck" spot is.
I don't know for a fact, but I'd be willing to bet the PP2 isn't legal in EU isn't because of the wheels...it's because of the splitter.
EU has much worse pedestrian crash laws than US.
Don't like the wheels, but I think a "ram-air" hood *properly ducted* to the airbox would be sweet. No need to do shaker.
And agreed on the scoops. I just don't want to see Ford go down the Supra or Type R path and have a bunch of fake scoops. It's embarrassing.
Maybe I'm odd, then. I love how 1-5 in my car is tightly spaced and relatively low. Then I have this huge jump to 6th. So playing in the mountains is fun because i get to rip around gears without going crazy fast. But then I get on the interstate and still run reasonably low RPMs even with a low...
I have an old dSLR (15+ year old Olympus) and am looking to upgrade. Looking for some suggestions from the "automotive" photographers in here. Interested in a little of everything: static, motorsports, etc.
I don't do this for a living, just a hobbyist.
Mirrorless? Traditional? Full-frame...
Looking at something like a 225/50-18 front (27") and 305/45-18 rear (29").
So it looks like a 2" delta may not be an issue.
Actually, those look like F14 wheels. That's exactly what I'm looking at, and it looks like you ran the same size rear I'm considering.
What were your wheel sizes, and...
