Didn't know Borla has come out with an exhaust kit for our cars. Thanks!
Your video gives static sound with the vehicle stopped. The ecoboost just doesn't sound great that way, regardless of mode (my opinion). What I would really want to hear is the car on the road In different drive modes at...
We have to look at the PP1 bracing. It's pretty much the basis for all front end suspension stiffing Ford has done on these cars, including my Ecoboost HPP.
Three pieces: upper and lower "k" braces. Ties the cowl to the shock towers on top, ties the subframe each side together on the bottom...
I have ppf on the front of the car. If polishing here means machine, i would not recommend. My experience, and my car is xpel is it's fine to use paint cleaner and sealer (my choice) or wax hand applied. I happen to use Pinnacle Brilliance products and have great had great results!
I do the same. After doing my regular wash job I drive around my area applying the brakes to dry them. Has worked for years. Worst thing is to leave them wet and rusting, in my opinion. I don't know about other chemicals to spray on to help the process as I have never used them.
I replaced my OEM rotors and pads on my Ecoboost HPP/ handling pack car at 39k with a Dynamic Friction Geospec 5000 kit from Rock Auto. These are ceramic pads, and the rotors are specially painted to resist rusting. The rotors are also ready to bolt on without any cleaning. Not
the cheapest...
Has made a difference sound wise. Bang for the buck understanding it's limitations. Since I never moved forward with wheel well or rear underseat sound deading I don't know how it might all have worked together.
No issues for me from a durability perspective.
Quality product, recommended.
Great advice!! Totally second it. I'm now running UHP AS4s as summers since replacing the worn out PS4S last spring. Cares for the "gray area" here in the Boston area, particularly in the fall. No more temp anxiety! For a regular street driven car I don't feel you give up much performance vs the...
I have direct experience with the PS4S.
Like others here I heed the manufacturer warnings and have a separate set of winter wheels and tires I swap to since this is my DD. Since this is the case I have never had cracking issues. I have driven them in near freezing temps and like any tire in this...
Agreed, the Pirellis are bad. I do the summer/winter swap too. My Corsa4s lasted about 12k, replaced with Michelin PS4S..huge difference BUT still a summer only tire. I put them back on in the spring but they were pretty worn. Like you I went with AS. Michelin PSAS4. Love them! When did Ford...
Mine is a 2020 daily driver, garaged and I'm retired so no commute. 56k miles, 0 issues so far. I refused the ESP.
My last car was a 2011 Caddy CTS coupe and I loaded up on all kinds of insurance on that. You know what? Total waste of money I never used any of it!! These cars today are so good...
Excellent!! Boys and their toys, really like those. Car nuts (me anyways) started as kids infatuated with cars and scale models were the way to make that real. Back in the day it was building plastic models. Pre built Diecast came later when I just didn't have the time but wanted the result.
The likely reason it starts out with a regular production line car is that it needs a VIN for street registration.
Ford is over the top producing specialty vehicles for sure!!
Hi all, what an excellent thread! Love your diorama! I haven't gone that far but I do have a good sized collection of diecasts. Currently I display them on shelves in my den, and I rotate them. Currently on a Mustang theme. Attaching some pics. The majority are 1/24 scale. Some are 1/18 scale...
I'd say call such a Ford "Thunderbird". Get back to the original early 50's competition, updated to today's mid engine level of sophistication. Ford has already re upped the trademark for the name after all...
I do the hand up wave often to other Mustang drivers. Thumbs up too is just another way of expressing the shared passion for our favorite car. No different than Harley riders, Corvette owners, Jeep etc.
I don't care if I get it back, but often I do. It's about YOUR enthusiasm, after all!
Well, my immediate predecessor was a 2011 Caddy CTS 3.6 coupe. I fell in love with the styling of that car! Totally American, nothing else like it on the road. I tweaked it also immediately with a mesh grill and rear round center exhaust treatment. I really liked the V coupe, but couldn't...
I know the originator asked about tan with a green exterior. I think that would be a great combo! Mine is Rapid Red over the tan interior and I love it. Have received a number of compliments, since the vast majority out there are black. I've had a couple of other cars previous to this one with a...
