ouch. I feel your pain, man.
eventually I bought a new one and vowed I’d never take that thing off again.
love the ingenuity to make it work after snapping that post though!!
Poorly.
I’ve hydroplaned a few times. My car doesn’t see rain often but a few times I’ve been caught...the last time I actually turned in the snow/wet mode to keep the car planted.
I hear ya.
I took mine in the end of May to have Ford do a consumption test. They changed the oil and marked the dipstick and plug and told me to bring it back when I put 1000 miles on it. The they’ll drain and measure to see what the loss is.
If this rain ever stops on the weekends I’ll...
I saw CJPP post a Mishimoto catch can video today and I am intrigued. I have the JLT now and sometimes its a PITA to get my hand in there and get the canister off. The Mishimoto one is mounted to the radiator support bracket. I may go that route for ease of draining.
Yep...the ones in the 2018 build years were anemic looking. They beefed them up. I have a pic in my phone that I will post in a bit showing the comparison.
When mine died back in March of 2019 I ended up having them take a trans out of a car on the lot and put it in mine. I made sure they gave...
No. That wouldn't be enough to make me trade it in.
Although my car has already blown one MT-82 I will just upgrade on my own to a Tremec or Calimer once I get the RWHP into the 800-1000 range.

I either distance myself or blow past them.
I live in Houston. Driving here is like playing Frogger.
People in mini-vans? They drive like shit. I avoid at all costs. When I'm not dodging the soccer mom's in their Toyota and Honda mini's I'm trying to avoid the people driving shitboxes with...
I lean on it being the lighting too.
I know mine, depending on the lighting and angle, will look off as well.
With that being said the thin paint and the contrast in materials of the hood and bumper certainly stand out on these cars.
back in my Fox Body days there was a guy who deemed himself “Mr 5.0” and his car was prob a mid 11 sec car, maybe.
He took his bumper support out and then cut about a hundred holes in the bumper cover to “make it faster”.
this totally reminded me of him
thanks man!
I wanted to do this last year but decided to wait. It’s a weekend car and garage kept so it hasn’t taken too much of a beating from the elements.
