Thanks for that link, I hadn't seen that thread before. I'll do some digging and see if I can find where I came up with the info on the factory projectors being essentially RX350's.
@G.T. I looked into this a while ago but didn't see any drop in replacements. Truth be told 99% of people on this site aren't going to speak the lingo when it comes to retrofitting.
IIRC (and I could be wrong, I looked this up a long time ago) the projectors in the 15-17 housings are...
Christ on a bike, 1500 dollars?
ask these guys for an exact price but based on their price list you're looking between 45-75 bucks per caliper

S&B used to supply the filters for JLT. A few years ago they bought out JLT intakes. Jay Tucker (The original owner of JLT) spun off the oil catch can side of the business into a new business venture called J&L OSC. S&B kept the JLT name for intakes.
What tune? Lund tunes set the cooling fans up for a 170 T stat, the fans were programmed to kick in earlier. For the two years I ran my Lund tune with the stock 180 T stat the fans always kicked on high speed after hitting operating temp. When I put a 170 in last winter that "fixed the problem"...
nah, i've seen a few really shitty ones for sale over the years, even some 325 SMGs (technically the non M cars had a "SSG" but whatever).
Mine was just a factory 01 330i auto I converted to a 6spd manual with a trans from a 05 zhp coupe
funny thing is I actually have one on my 330, but only for two reasons. 1 my factory rad was leaking and 2. the car i used for the 6spd manual conversion already had it installed.
My car has been fine but it's also just a daily driver, not a track car. I still have no interest in getting a CSF...
I'll be honest, coming from BMW's where CSF rads are a common choice, I've read a lot of stories of people swapping to CSF rads and having higher temps than factory rads. A friend of mine ran one in his S54 swapped E46 ZHP track car and said he had higher temps around the track versus the...
These cars had driveline vibrations with the factory 2 piece shaft, I think most people run into this even more with 1 piece DS especially non carbon fiber ones.
Start with re-clocking the shaft, you might get lucky.
Here is a bit of secret shopper knowledge for you. The Fram Synthetic FE10575 is the same filter as the Amsoil EAO17. Aside from a different paint job, it doesn't cost 17 dollars + shipping and you can pick it up at Walmart...
The Borla and Corsa touring setups would certainly do what you're after. Ford does have a borla touring setup of their own as well.
I have the S-type cat back which is certainly louder than the touring setup but nothing even close than the ATAK / corsa extreme. I've driven the car coast to...
The only time I've heard of VCT behavior changing is when the oil is higher mile/dirtier. On my 2016 F150 I started having solenoid issues around 150k which caused a rough idle and sometimes a stall. When the oil was nearing that 5000 mile mark, it was worse. Did a fresh change and it was...
It would, however IDK that'll be plug and play with the factory wiring.
I have never touched a 18+ car, however I have NEVER seen any factory setup use HID for high beam only. It'd be bad for bulb lift. It should be a Bi-LED setup, same concept like a Bi-xenon just using a LED for light...
