He's looking for a tuner in NW Indiana or Chicago. It's cold AF!! there right now. Hopefully he heeds your warning and returns back to 93. to save himself trouble and money.
Personally I would tell them to hold the details. The car is going on a trip across the country in the middle of winter. I highly doubt your quote for shipping at $1500 'you said will be for covered transport. Its going to be filthy when it arrives in California
No I did not drive it. The guys at the dealership swarm me when I pulled in, but they weren't really trying to let the car go out on a test drive without doing paperwork.. I did ask though
I also have the mach 1 active exhaust with a Roush X pipe. I dont hear any noticeable drone in the car with this set up. I had MBRP race version and the drone was Terrible.
The car in PA is 5 minutes from my house. I'm going to go check it out. I will be driving right past it to get my haircut. Ill post up some pics hopefully they cleaned it up by now. Garnet ford is my local dealer. They are fair and honest I have no complaints. As for the Jaguar dealership I have...
F15o with the 3.5 EcoBoost. Finish it off with a Livernois tune and you will have a badass tow vehicle that is more than enough for what you're doing. Honestly the tune just cleans up the 10 speed transmission and a few other nannies. The truck is great without the tune. But completely awesome...
The hood nuts came right off for me. You are correct though the paint does get a little messed up on the hood nuts. Nothing a little touch up paint can't fix.
Set up a separate account to save money too. I have an account at a credit union that a percentage of my pay goes to every week. I don't carry a debit card for the account and only take from it when I want to buy myself something special. It's much easier for me to save when I don't see it...
I have the mach 1 active exhaust with a X pipe. I do not have drone in the car. I can't speak on H pipe for this system. I had mbrp race exhaust with a H pipe before mach 1 active system. The drone was terrible.
