Better than 4x4 look. ;)

2 finger gap is where height should be and those Ford springs pretty much put it right on there, but agreed lower can just make a car look too heavy. I totally hate the air suspension stuff when parked, just to me looks broken.

I like to think I have the happy medium - a 1" drop courtesy of the Ford supplied Eibach springs (available from the dealership).

Some truth to the "4x4 look" statement, it's not until you see you own car in the flesh next to a lowered car, do you realize just how high the front end is! I'm not a fan of the super low with no gap look either...

It became a "must have" mode for me, & it doesn't only help with aesthetics but its a world of difference when you're throwing it around the corners

So the best CAI, some good fuel and a tune and your at 350 horsepower levels, not bad that.

I'd still stick with stock CAI though, as remember they do pulls with hood up, put the hood down and those figures would be lower. ;)

What I did find interesting was the fact that the tuner mentioned more power will be available as more tuning parameters become available in the future. Good timed

There you go, fair to say 0-100 is coming up in around 8.3s on a launch that hooks up.

No one sells Bioethanol E85 round here. So that tune is not for us.

Why, did you not see the part of the gains for Octane 93? In the UK you'd get a custom Octane 93 tune, if your using Vpower they can tweak it further as Vpower is equal to like Octane 94, closer to 95 if you have separators on each bank.

Yep I told you these things would be as fast as an M4 in a straight line, with the advantage of sounding way better too. With mag ride should also handle better as trust me an M4 is not that great, too firm. The new M4 competition pack however is a different story but those still sound poo poo.

we have plenty of it here.

However I am not sure if I would like to go on that route for a DD.

Good video of the manual, seem Ford made a massive improvement to the manual, clutch and engine on the 18.

The most important video for 2018 owners:

Fitting of the GT 350 Ford lowering springs, got to say the stance on that is absolute perfection with those springs, which are around $250 plus shipping.

I also noticed on the video:
- Front hubs are beefier, maybe 350 or new part.
- Rear lower arms are 350 ones.
- Rear diff casing has an electronic connector, am guessing the MY18 now has same as GT 350 and comes with rear-end temp monitoring or it is something else?

Really hope to get behind the wheel of an A10 mag ride PP car soon.

I didn't watch the video but yes, my '18 has a rear diff temp reading between the gauges.

Not an actual 18:

But notice how Ford outfitted this demo card with PS4S tyres, maybe they were like oh my god, its going to be wet and cold, the car is going to handle like shit and were trying to drive fast on a track.

OK not a problem get rid of those fucking shite Pzero and get some PS4S slapped on and the cold and wet no longer and issue.

Active H-Pipe

Active X Pipe

Both sound pretty awesome, infact stock sounds pretty epic too.

MrWolf · Jan 4, 2018

Wow, they do sound great. Going to have to order an h pipe (especially at that price)

Or just get made locally, most decent exhaust place would make and fit for £150

Never thought of that. Any recommendations?
