I went on their website a week or so ago looking for a link or anything to get on a waiting list and dont see anything. I had emailed him about a month ago and never got a reply. Whats the process to get on the waiting list?
I have always done 3-5 gentle heat cycles to seat rings and then its game on. Ill accelerate in a gear, hold the gear, and let the engine brake the car down pretty far then do it again. Trying to get high cylinder pressures and then a bunch of vacuum to really help seal the rings. Had a LONG...
I cant speak to 3m vs. ceramic tint, but I have always run Madico Wincos Ceramic IR film on my cars. Its 99% UV rejection and I think 93% IR rejection. In the ST I put 30% on the front doors and 70%(basically clear) all the rest of the way around. The factory "privacy glass" is just a dye...
oh just spend some time browsing and you will find some stuff that interests you.
I suggest getting rid of the chrome lugs first thing. search around and find the big thread for a few different options. I did the Gorilla's from Ebay like a few others. $60 for good quality...
I cant and wont speak to Ford's engineering decision making.
HOWEVER being turbo motors the clearances are usually on the looser side so a slightly thicker oil is usually warranted. Also turbo motors tend to produce more heat and put more demand on the oil as a result. 30w will withstand that...
yea the $300 base cost puts it out for me.
The $100-$120 for the custom paint options isnt a KILLER honestly as small batch custom painting isnt cheap, but if you paint in batches I am sure you can cut that cost down a ton. BUT you can probably only do gloss or flat black in batches. I would...
yes I am aware of that, I just personally have never sold to anybody in Canada before. The warehouse is in Alberta.
I usually take paypal, but I dont think I have ever taken paypal from anybody in Canada before. Beyond that I know its not a problem.
If anybody is interested I can offer special pricing on the full line of Amsoil products. I am making no money by offering these prices, just passing them on to forum members(Mods if this type of thread is not allowed let me know and I will delete it or you all can delete it). I can not...
Ecoboost turbo's have all been liquid cooled as far as I know, including ours.
This isnt the 90's anymore. I dont think there is a single oil cooled only turbo out there on any production vehicle these days. Last ones I remember were on the Supra TT and the Eclipse/3000GT stuff...
turbo's arent oil cooled so its really no big deal.
Do you believe the ecoboost also needs a turbo timer to run for 5-10 minutes whenever you park and shut it off? Because its lacking that feature also...
I guess you will be finding the limits of the AWD PTU, axles, trans, cast pistons, fuel system, etc...
To be running those 0-60 times you have to be pushing close to 600 at the wheels. 550+ is my guess. Thats quite impressive.
You gotta look at the X5 as the cross shopping of the Explorer... and even then its still only 2 rows... their 3rd row option is a complete joke... So then you got to go to an X7 to get a real 3rd row...and you are priced out really.
X3 is WAY smaller than the Explorer... Ive driven my mom's...
