Thanks, I appreciate the input and the confirmation that they are quiet.
The tread pattern really makes you tip your head at first, and Nitto makes some big claims on them.
Didn't know that, be careful yanking fuses on these cars though. If you bring down the high speed network or trip certain trouble codes the car can go into "limp mode".
the floating pin design is a very interesting concept, I'm interested to see how well it holds up over time especially with aftermarket tire and brake pad compounds that will increase the braking load. I'm excited to see this cars capabilities.
The design is a balance of heat dissipation and weight in a given diameter. Traditional rotors are one big heavy hunk of cast iron, with the diameter of these brakes a cast rotor would weigh a lot.
Brake rotors are unsprung and rotational weight, so every pound saved here is the equivalent in...
Helm is who supplies them for Ford, so you're going to have to wait and see most likely. Dealerships are pretty much 100% online now so there isn't a lot of demand for paper manuals anymore.
If there is a new Bronco, I would be amazed if it didn't have four doors.
Generally, people want 4 doors now, regular cabs are work trucks and extended cabs are just a compromise on price.
Back when the Bronco went bye-bye, it was replaced by four door expeditions and explorers for a reason...
Yeah, I was waiting for that one. It's a relative thing.
I'm torn on the configuration of the mustang at this point, it's affordable and practical.
I'm anxious to see how well the GT350 fills the performance gap in the Ford line-up. And what else might be headed our way soon.
I've always...
The Fusion isn't a big car in my opinion, I don't like the Taurus SHO for the fact that the thing is too chunky. I think the fusion is a good mid-sized 4 door middle ground; large enough to be comfortable, small enough to be sporty.
Any reputable shop that is charging you less than $100/hr is treating you well these days. I was a Ford dealer tech for a long time, I'm now up here for a new job and Livernois would be one of the first places I would stop if I need anything done I can't do myself at home.
bolting the parts in is easy, but the wiring may not be there, and the means of getting the modules programmed and functioning isn't something that's readily available to most.
Saw it!
My photos were junk, smartphone, too much sun, ropes in the way.. just, pitiful.
Car was gorgeous though, definitely has a presence.
Except for the "Captain America" paint scheme, seriously two colors is enough for one car, three is just tacky.
