Another vote for ECS 02. Got a set a few months ago, traded out PS4S. The michelin were excellent, the Conti a few bucks cheaper, and arguably just as good, maybe better. Especially in the rain.
315 30 19 is the factory size for a Mach 1 HP car. on a 19x11 wheel, +50 offset. I actually crammed a 325 30 19 on mine the last time, went Continental ECS 02 this time, had 315 in the PS4S no problem.
I have ran PS4S Michelin and Conti ECS 02 both. Currently on ECS02. They are fantastic. I haven't driven the Conti in cold yet, but regularly drove the PS4S in 40 and below weather when it was dry, just had to be a little more careful.
Yeah I had a guy in a Duramax right after I got my ESS. Yeah, BUSSES. Like 5 of them by the top of 2nd gear. I just let out and hit 6th and cruised from there :) Statement made :)
Its always the diesel trucks for me. Whether Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax. I normally will just ignore them, but if there is a nice clear road, and no cops, I will do a little pull once in a while. Nothing crazy, just enough to pull a few busses on them, then let out and let them go on...
I get way more "rev it" or do a burnout motions than anything . I pretty much ignore most of it, or smile and wave to a thumbs up, etc. But aggressive driving and/or road rage, I just try to ignore it and deflect away from it, ie change lanes, take an exit, etc. Then proceed normally.
I second this. I am local and drive it a LOT. Between the Harley's, campers, trucks, and cops, driving aggressive is a losing proposition. I normally drive about 10 over and enjoy the road now. I mean if I get a few curves with no traffic I will hammer it a bit, I run completely street...
I unplugged the Telematics module on my car the first weekend I had it. Fortunately mine is a manual, so no remote start to worrry about. Nothing in the Fordpass app worth having either so no big loss for me.
Yeah, Insta360 X5. It is a great 360 degree camera :) This is a little bit of footage from the S650. Mic in the engine bay. You can hear me take off, then his car and the ESS whoosh :)
None so far. It is a bit hard to get used to sometimes, especially when navigating very technical curvy roads. Have to be super careful it doesn't kick out under boost in a turn. Other than that it drives amazing, just like stock until you give it the beans :)
My boy got his ESS installed this past week, mine was 2 weeks ago. We went out today for a rip across the Cherohala Skyway, and then back across the tail of the dragon. VERY good day, his car turned out STUNNING. The carbon fiber intake tubes, and radiator surround, plus the powder coat on...
IDK, I know Trim+ is really good stuff. That said, I haven't had that issue on mine at all. Of course mine rarely to never gets wet, interior anyway :)
You could treat it like exterior plastics and apply ADS Trim+, it is dye in fused and is magical on exterior faded stuff. Might be worth a try to "cover up" and make it black again for a while anyway. Plus it being ceramic infused, should help with water dripping on it. Just bead and roll off.
