Got mine today - appears to be damage free, though one side of the box was caved in... Install and Lund revision time! Still debating on IMRCs, but based on this thread, seems like it's easier to just delete them w/out much loss. It'd be really interesting to see results with the IMRCs working...
I downloaded the official 2.3 update from my owner.ford account last night, based off my VIN. Formatted my 32GB thumb drive as exFAT, copied the unzipped files over per the directions, and plugged it into my fully running car to install on my drive to work this morning. About 5 minutes in, it...
That isn't necessarily all oil, either. There's probably a fair amount of water in there, as well. Check your actual oil level - if that is dropping, then there might be some concern. My can catches a fair amount, but my oil level doesn't drop, so a pretty good indication that it isn't all oil...
Agreed - on track it's fine, but trying to heel-toe on the street driving at 6/10ths is a bit more difficult. Personally, I'd rather have the right setup for track, not street. :)
Finally got to load the tune, and there is definitely a difference. The car pulls a LOT harder in the lower RPM range, and pulls longer up top. It's a noticeable difference even after 3 days of driving it, so definitely not placebo. Is it suddenly a hellcat beater? No, but it sure is fun. And I...
The car is very near 50/50 weight distribution - adding sandbags to the rear doesn't do much, and I've been told it can actually cause problems with steering in the snow, but I wouldn't know about that. I don't do it, and I had no problems going uphill in the snow here in the Utah mountains with...
I wasn't going to tune it yet, either, but my buddy just bought a 2016 2SS... /sigh
He'll still destroy me, his was already modded - CAI/IM/tune. At least I have more experience around the track than he does, so I have driver mod going for me, but the front straight at my track is ~3500 ft, so...
I just bought the ngauge and Lund tune combo from beefcake today... now I get to wait for it to ship... My car is mostly stock, power mod wise. I did a few suspension mods first.
100% this ^^^
I come from over 10 years of driving Subarus in Utah winters - my mustang with cheap* snow tires does better than the Subies with A/S. Get good tires, and you're golden.
*No snow tires are cheap for this car, but I didn't buy the most expensive ones.
Finally ripped out that stupid sound tube and installed the Mishimoto inlet tube. Yes, I need to clean my engine bay.
Now to go exhaust or tune next... hmm...
Already have a 16 and love it. Not worth it to take the hit this soon for an 18. I like them, I think the changes are awesome, but I'm very happy with my current car and don't feel like bending over. :lol:
Didn't I read that the base 2018s will get suspension tuning equivalent to the PP on the 15-17 cars? So the new PP is an upgrade to even that, correct? That plus tires is probably the price difference there. Still expensive, though. :(
Finally installed the J&M vertical links I won in the giveaway, and reinstalled the Dusold Designs tow hook that I took off my EBM when I traded it in. Both installs went smoothly and fast. It was a good day! :thumbsup:
