i got a buddy who just swapped a motor and trans to a new to him s197. same year and model car. he says now that everything is bolted up that his shifter will not shift into gear due to hitting bezel, will physically shift. says that his shifter doesnt sit in the center console the same as the...

now with that solved you should double check that you dont need bigger injectors. i thought once you ported the 18 mani on the 15-17 cars they needed injectors. but i could be wrong.

the saga is finally complete. they ended up totaling the car. 21.5k in damages, they had me valued at 32K and change. added in my mods and got me paid out at 35k. really surprised and thankful at the end results. just released the car to them yesterday. buy back on it was still like almost 11K...

fwiw i had 17 with 18 mani and long tubes tuned by lund and that would pass without any issues. so its doable. if they are turned on but not ready i would suggest doing the ford drive cycle and they should set. when mine would reset sometimes i would have to do the cycle more than once.

Was starting to consider this idea. Depending what the buy back is I could resell as is or part out. The entire interior is fine and in great shape. Figuring if I can get the buy back for the right price plus the payout I might make out moderately ok. I’m just preparing them to lowball my payout...

Cold storm came in a day or so early. Driven my car to work and thought I could get it home instead of leaving it. Been thru worse but anyway was going up slight incline on the freeway in the slow lane doing maybe 30. Hadn’t had any issues the whole drive to this point maybe 10 miles. No change...

no airbags deployed. i suspect the frame got slightly bent and then basically the whole car needs to be repainted so i think with those two things it drove the price way up.

update: body shop has had the car about a month now. just got it torn down and their official estimate done. official estimate for repairs is like $21.5K. im assuming they are about to total it out but they are still meeting with an insurance agent to go over the estimate again. what a bummer.

intermittent 1700-before 2000 rpm is prob the bbq tick. lots of thread covering this. lots of users myself included have had good luck with liquimoly ceratec additive. if that doesnt help it may be something else. change oil and throw in a bottle of ceratec and see if it quiets down.

missed the ecoboost part. def total agreed

similar damage to mine currently and im already quoted at 14K + and they are short on some things so im def on the fence of fix vs total. i would expect this to get totaled.

update: body shop estimate is closer to 14K. i noticed this last week that im getting some premature wear on my passenger side tires so probably frame damage. car goes in june 8th to start repairs. will update once i have more.

well this is interesting. those two parts are def not stock as far im aware.

looks like the same part already installed. looks like the hammertone instead of the red.

cause the stock wheel is tiny, feels like cheap shit and looks just about the same.

looks like rock chips to me from road debris. same issues on my car. paint on these is stupid thin.

ive broken one. i really dont think its hard to break them if you are not paying close attention.

Insurance estimate is 10k. Goes to the shop on Wednesday so we’ll see what they have to say and go from there. 🤞

17’ performance pack. 52k miles. Base model with some upgrades although I know they won’t help much if at all.

really hoping the angle and speed I bounced off it’ll be okay. Really hoping to save this thing. But I also don’t want to keep it if it’s compromised
