    Norcal Owner Check in

    now it's 8 years? I thought it was 6? edit: found it Starting January 1, 2019, if your vehicle is less than 4 model years old, you can pay a smog abatement fee instead of getting a smog inspection for the first 8 years that your vehicle is registered. Yes Whipple does, their tune is CARB...

    Norcal Owner Check in

    awesome, looking at those mods (sans Ethanol) and will probably do the Whipple Stage 1 setup - no intake... I've shyed away from non-CARB parts in the past few vehicles - just too much of a headache in Commifornia :)

    Norcal Owner Check in

    pending new owner ;) well, actually just need to get the SO to go test drive one, but she wants to upgrade from her Focus ST to the Explorer ST :)

    will probably start a build on a 2023, prior owners what would you mod first?

    also, what options could be removed from an order that wouldn't make a difference - e.g. Street Pack, if you upgrade wheels and tires anyways?

    22” Wheels??

    assuming that's 60lbs across all 4 tires/wheels - not per corner, right? what's a bundle like that cost? that's the only downside is having enough wallet :)

    22” Wheels??

    safest 22 size as to not incur curb rash? e.g. more tire than rim is exposed

    I actually went to Whipple in Fresno and they installed my Raptor setup - it’s been great for 50k miles

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    how's the ride height with the Steedas? the only reason we didn't lower my wife's Focus ST was because of curbs... is the EST still tall enough to clear curbs when lowered? not looking to slam the truck or do coilovers, but give it better handling... I do like their handling package...

    Most likely I’ll do the Whipple Stage 1 kit - it’s been phenomenal on my Raptor and Dustin is a super cool guy

    Budget - I don’t mind spending $3-5k as long as it’s flawless improvement and CARB legal Eg the aFe intake suggested above isn’t 50 state legal if there are good handling mods that would be good - going from a Focus ST to a much bigger EST is going to affect handling expectations

    disclaimer, I live in Northern California - so looking for CARB legal mods what would be your first mods? just for reference, I have a 2017 Ford Raptor that is Whipple tuned, with intake and bigger intercooler, which is CARB legal, I have exhaust mods the GT350 was my son's, he sold it last...
