    2025 tunes (lack thereof)

    Which I find to be bs. Tuners make the car burn more efficiently and produce less pollutants 20yrs ago I was living in Northern VA (NOVA) which had both emissions and inspections. My Evo had a full cat-less and muffer-less exhaust. And a few other bolt-ons, including a tune I passed emissions...

    2025 tunes (lack thereof)

    Part of me buying an ST was the incredible tunability of these motors. It’s not everyday you see an SUV in the 10s As I’ve painfully learned, there are no tunes available for the 2025 cars. And even more painfully, possible ever My question is why has Ford locked down the ECUs so much? The...

    What to do with front bumper off?

    My next purchase will be for a FMIC and blacked out front badge. I’m looking to take my front bumper off once vs multiple times to do other mods What other mode can be done much easier with the front bumper off? IC pipes, intake, etc? I’m in a wheelchair so height and depth are challenges...

    Rear Sway Bar Feel

    Just installed mine earlier this week. I expected some difference, but not this much. The mid-corner rotation is greatly reduced. A sway bar mostly transfers grip to the opposite end of a car. Stiffer front bar reduces grip in the front and transfers it to the rear and vice versa for a rear...

    Rear Sway Bar Feel

    I’m curious what everyone thought of the car after installing a rear sway bar. Everyone says it handled better, but what do you exactly mean? Acceration? Braking? Turn-in? Etc.

    Steeda Sway Bar Limits

    Swaybars mostly affect mid-corner grip. What you’re feeling with a rear swaybar is added grip to the front. This reduces the natural understeer thus making the car rotate easier and feel livelier

    Good clean humor and jokes

    Apparently offended enough for you to reply complaining about a post. If not offended, why reply at all? You didn’t ask if I understood what I posted. You asked how I would explain that to a 9yo. You don’t like my reply, one that makes logical sense and can easily be explained to a 9yo, to...

    Good clean humor and jokes

    You specifically said, “perhaps you could share how you would explain that "humor" to a 9yo.” I told you exactly what I would say to them. It’s not my fault you find it offensive nor like my (logical) answer I’m pointing out your hypocrisy, where somehow you’re more “offended” by “movies with...

    Good clean humor and jokes

    I can explain for easily. I like Furious 7, despite making me tear up You’re trying to call me out for posting something YOU found offensive. Let me be clear with my next sentence, as I am calling YOU out. How do YOU explain to a 9yo how puting a kid in a freezer is “good humor” or feeding a...

    Review: Steeda front and rear sway bars, Steeda tower brace and Eibach lowering springs installed

    I've spent the better part of the last 15yrs setting up suspensions on track cars and race cars: Fox bodies Evos, 350z, E36, E46, all generation Miatas, all with IRS and varying levels of hp save for the Fox. The Z and BMWs benefited MASSIVELY from a bigger front bar. Sway bars play near zero...

    25 ST Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

    I bought my ST 6days ago and still on my first tank of gas. I love forums with lots of activity, you can learn a lot more than your dealership would ever teach you. If and when I get the dreaded CEL, I'll at least have an idea of what it likely is and know how to fix it. I live in South FL, so...
