Got the outer tie rods on and painted the knuckles yesterday, as well as figured out a setup for the adjustable sway bar endlinks. Hopefully they'll be done next weekend.

Thanks a lot man, crazy to me how far it’s come in only 8 months. I like big loud v8s too, this is just easier to work on!

It's been a very productive month. I installed some little stuff to make the car more livable: replaced all interior bulbs with LEDs, wired in a third brake light flasher so people wouldn't rear end me, put on hood struts because I'm lazy, and put in the Steeda rear subframe inserts. I also...

Here ya go, I threw this together just for you: It's not my favorite sound, but with all stock engine parts, it's better than I was expecting honestly. But good god, it is LIGHT. 13 lbs is no joke. Plus, it looks cool. I put on the carbon plate to block off the empty exhaust hole as well...

Yeahhhhhhhh exhaust showed up today. So incredibly excited to ditch 45 lbs with just a bolt on. This is just the canister in this photo, but it looks so rad. Even came with a little 3D Tomei emblem. Also, I got my first round of SPL parts on saturday. Gonna wait until I get the FLCA to put...

I went to Japan and had an amazing time of course. We happened upon a Japanese Heritage show in Odiba and I got LOTS of photos. Here's a handfull. I managed to spend right at my budget so when I got back I ordered the Tomei Ti exhaust and carbon block off plate from TF-Works...

I don't usually go to meets, unless hanging with my friends in the garage counts. There are drift events once a month out at SA Raceway. If you get on their facebook page, they will keep it updated with event dates, prices, registration info, etc.

That would probably Justin (nightparade) he lives in Houston, we've been drifting together for years, and I would be remiss if I didn't say his old EB wasn't a huge influence on me! So the car has been getting easier to drift as I've been getting more and more seat time (what a surprise...

1) What were you doing? What was the ambient, water, and oil temps? 2) On top of all maintenance? 3) Where's your last datalog? 4) What failed? A "blown" engine can be a lot of things. 5) Was it a cleveland motor or spanish motor?

Same, very interested in what people are monitoring. I just put mine in a couple days ago and currently just have: Actual AFR Oil Temp Water Temp I can say, these are much more accurate on the AP3 vs what the stock info center on the dash displays. I've yet to even mess with it beyond...

I installed my accessport the other day. Tried to go for a similar mounting position to where an Apex'i PowerFC Commander would be mounted in similar drift cars. I figured it would make a huge difference in even stock form, but I didn't expect THIS much of a difference. The car feels...

Thanks! I actually got the infinity mirror and heart handle at UP Garage back in 2015 during my first trip to Japan. They're just little mementos from that trip. As far as the VTA bypass, I just removed the recirc hose and capped it off with a rubber plug and the OEM clamp for now. I'll...

Thanks Justin! Wish you still had some of your old Ecoboost parts for me to scoop up :mad:

Sold? Just sent you a PM.

Solid list to get started with! But this would have been cool to replicate though...

Yeahhhhhh! I got my seat in! It was a bit of a pain as it's not a direct bolt in like a corbeau or braum seat, but it looks great! So first thing, I wanted to do this right with no airbag/seat belt lights on the dash and without a hacked up harness. I pulled the seat/harness out, cut...

Pics SHOULD be fixed now!

Gah. They're all hosted via imgur, which i just realized, doesn't work on this forum. I'll have to re-upload in a bit when I have time.

So, I chose a base model ecoboost because I knew weight savings was a priority, and many of the features of the PP model I wouldn't be using anyway with modifications coming. My only regrets were not getting the larger brakes, and the cooler looking rear bumper. But I would solve those in my own...

I haven't really seen anyone doing this style of build on here so I figured I would document everything I do and learn along the way, in the hopes that other people will follow suit! If anyone has any questions about my setup, working around factory issues/sensors, or suggestions to improve the...
