Hate to burst your bubble, but even for the "levers" that have been used on cars for at least the last 10 years, there was a 90%+ chance it was still electronic. Jalopnik did a whole article on this on how car manufacturers kept using levers even though they had quietly moved to electronic gear...

There is actually an on-going class action lawsuit against Ford regarding this because these lugs are swelling and Ford is refusing to "warranty" the problem (just google "ford" and "swollen lug nuts" and be astonished at the sheer number of results). At my last dealer visit I actually got to...

snap, crackle, and pop; overrun; or a "burble tune" noise (a favorite of VW and Audi); comes about with excess fuel in the hot exhaust. while it sounds AMAZING--it is a byproduct of wasted fuel. good tuners tend not to waste fuel. i had a friend with an APR burble tune on his RS3 and it dropped...

Thats awesome. Yeah, I knew about your mods but unfortunately they aren't very applicable to me being 5'8" and 150lbs but my issues are more lumbar. I've tried the 3 back settings in a million different combinations and just can't find something that doesn't cause a stiff back after a couple...

Yup. Running 305/40r22 tires on 22x10.5E30 custom forged wheels. no rubbing with Steeda lowering springs. My particular set of Steeda springs actually settled lower than advertised drop as well. Before that, I was running the stock street pack wheel/tire setup with 1.25" spacers. those also...

Since nobody has asked the question yet, how does the ST fare as a "road trip" rig? Lots of power and lots of space is always a huge plus but I don't particularly find the seats super comfortable after hour 2 of sitting in them so curious if you have noticed anything on your cross-country jaunt...

If a "con" exists I haven't come across it in over a year of ownership. I guess if you want bigger tires and to turn your ST into a more overlanding type rig there is a con there but then again if that was your intent you wouldn't be even considering lowering springs to begin with.

For e85 you are going to need to install a HPFP first.

Bumper only here in MD is about $500

so you note something interesting. in your fedex tracking notification, does it say "label created" or "item ready for pickup"? if all you got was the "label created" notification, all that means is that Whipple put your info into the fedex website and created a tracking/shipping order. your...

There is only one to my knowledge. A couple guys have done one-off custom jobs and Ron with Whoosh is in the process of developing his but the Whipple is the only commercially available unit that I'm aware of.

The intercooler comes with the same set of instructions, or at least mine did.

To my knowledge 5 Star doesn't offer a warranty with their tune, you need to purchase a warranty (they also only will honor it if all of your other engine "bolt ons" are sold by them or Stage 3). Other outfits do this, but you might be better off speaking with your car insurance company if you...

beadlock drag wheels??? ... those look INSANE.

Rad. @ron@whooshmotorsports really is a rockstar and I'm thankful to have a company like that in our community.

Woohoo! Now the hard part of waiting for my name to be drawn from the waiting list...

The intakes are $850, which includes powder coat and come with a filter. He is making them in batches and taking deposits for the next batch. Shoot him an email (brett@fenfabrication.com) to get on the list and be notified when he starts making the next run.

It depends on a place's inventory. Some drop ship and some carry in-stock inventory. Ron had posted here a long time ago about not carrying these in stock and he put the ones he had in inventory on sale, so if you only ordered from whoosh less than two weeks ago, at that point Whipple was...

Engineering Explained is one of THE best car channels on YouTube.

I agree!!!
