Some quick photos of the ambient lighting I installed last week. For the cup holders I bought the Ford OEM ones that have the lighting built in. There are three power leads going to them (Red, Green and Blue LED) and a ground. I powered the green LED fully but put a variable resister on the...
No, I had them on the RS but did not have the lift. Now that I have the lift I just use the jacking points at the pinch welds and use the Quick Jack pinch weld blocks.
I had my RS coated along with the wheels and everything else (door jams, engine compartment, etc) and had that car for 4 years and it looked just like it did the day I got it coated when I sold it. Water ran right off the paint and stuff barely stuck to it. Had the same thing done to the 500...
Not really but let me explain. I only have 800 miles on the car and have been modifying it here and there both inside and out. I decided to order the following parts from Steeda and I installed them all at the same time because it is easier that way since they are all in the same area and most...
I have not weighed the tires but I can later today and post it here and yes I have seen the tire weights on Tire Rack to be wrong also.
By the way, are you the same member that has been on the FocusRS.org forum for the last few years? I think we have talked about wheels and tires on that...
No, no SC2's use Acoustic Technology. I believe more road noise from the tires comes through in the rear of the car than the front and probably the reason Ford chose AT for the rear tires.
KB, tire manufactures have been. making special tires that have different types of foam in them for several years, I think since around 2015. Michelin's are called Acoustic Technology, Continental's ContiSilent, Bridgestone's B-Silent, Dunlap's Noise Shield Technology, Goodyear's Sound Comfort...
I have 315's up front and they fit with room to spare so I can see where the 325's would be no problem.
As a side note that I have been meaning to post, the 315's have the acoustic foam inside where as the 305's don't. I find it strange that Ford wanted the acoustic tire only in the rear...
KB, I am assuming the "Huh?" was for me? If so, many items for the car like the JLT CAI are not CARB (California Air Resource Board) approved. It is stated on their webpage for the GT500 CAI. It also states if I were to order one with a CA address the order will automatically be canceled...
Could be the terrain. You may live where it is flat and I’m in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains so just going back and forth to town I go up and down hills. If I cleaned the wheels and make one trip to town (3 miles one way) by the time I get home my wheels no longer have that super...
I decided to have a friend of mine make me a set of aluminum ramps that are similar to the RaceRamps I have now. I am going to have him make them 4" wider so it can accommodate more vehicles and only 2 1/2" tall instead of 4" so that the arms on the lift can just swing right out without having...
Jaime, I did notice a loss in braking bite but not enough for me to want to switch back. While they don't bite like the OEM pads, the pedal effort still seems the same so I am fine with it. I replaced them because I have a real issue with pads that create a lot of dust and sticky dust at that...
I got them from Tasca Parts. They are genuine Ford caps but they don’t fit the OEM wheel. These are larger and they fit the signature wheels I have (after I modified them of course). Part# 9L8Z-1130-A $16.60
I got a set. They looked like stickers so I sold them and had some custom ones made and again they also looked like stickers. Wanted something that wasn’t flat looking. Went with Ford caps that actually have an emblem in them.
I did look at the MaxJax since I also have a 9' ceiling. However in my garage, in the space I would set up the MaxJax or any two post lift, it would not allow me to open my door fully without hitting the post. My garage has a lot of width but not depth for the cars since I have a work bench...
