They're selling the info to interested third parties, one of which are insurance companies who use the identifiable data to jack up your car insurance. Good to know this is a simple fix. I wonder if this also disables OTA updates. Not a big deal though.

"I'm not impaired officer, I was dodging potholes" We have similar issues where I live with potholes. The winter months really fuck the roads over. I popped a tire twice in my SL55. Once it fractured the garbage niche rims the car came with, and the second time on stock alloys it was just the...

I'm sure his neighbours love him. Yeah California is a bit draconian with their emissions sniffer boxes on roadways being able to detect and flag vehicles that aren't emissions compliant. My province lets you do whatever you want and the federal government doesn't bother enforcing anything. It...

Yes I've experience cat failure. Whipple update the tune in the last couple months that might address this. My filename has stagefp_v2sk_rr3a in it. My cats failed within 4k kms of installing the supercharger. I always put 93 in it. I think the mustang SC has the 5.2L motor. I saw a Fluid...

And yet OP who is in Spain has to wait for some to come from Germany.

So you get back what you paid for a supercharger in the form of warranty if your motor does fail. Use the warranty if you need to. If after a couple years your motor is still holding up, then modify further. Also lots of stories about the 10R80 eating itself so the transmission warranty (though...

Trip to dealer, Argue with dealer, Car is out of service, wait for parts, install parts, THEN move on. Mine was down for 2 weeks waiting for a cat that failed because the tune warrantied by ford for my supercharger was too spicy. No loaner vehicle. Thanks Ford. Can't wait to see how long it...

What are you even talking about. I thought the hundreds of billions in subsidies for oil companies and loosening regulations on drilling were supposed to fix this.

White soot on the tail pipe was my sign that the cat had failed.

I went whipple. 3L vs 2.65L. All things being equal the whipple could theoretically move more air per revolution than the Roush. One tuner claimed they made more power in a max effort roush. Both these superchargers are plenty capable for a stock motor down the quarter mile. I'd like to...

guess I picked the wrong time to buy a ford then. I’m sure they’ll address all the squeaks and other issues in existing cars to their satisfaction.

Engineered to Ford’s rigorous 100,000-mile durability standards, the kit ensures massive capability without sacrificing reliability. It is the ultimate expression of the Ford philosophy. Tell that to my cats, lmao. Also, didn't ford gut or threaten to gut a bunch of assembly line bonuses...

This guy talks in detail about flow dynamics in exhausts, and brought to light some misconceptions. He doesn't like H or Double X pipes and with good reason. He gets more into the tech of things around 23:30

I had a n54 135i, a lack of LSD really hampered that car. The 6MT in it was really nice. I also had a e36 m3 euro spec. Car was a dream to drive except in winter, but I've gotten better at driving since then. No TC and no cup holders. What a different time. had a F10 m5. It wasn't great in...

Still getting rotten egg smells in my car. pretty sure another cat is on its way out.

Do you have TC/Advancetrac off, or are driving in sport mode? Sport mode has reduced intervention for how much it will let you slide the back end around. In normal or wet/slippery mode, it is much more restrained and the car will intervene early if you're getting it sideways / spinning the...

So yeah Shaking in the front end under mild braking after the cars sat for a bit. seems to clear up if I stop hard. Figure a pad is getting hung up? I checked the lug nuts and they're all torqued to 150 per spec. No shaking while driving. It is winter here and there's lots of shit on the...

Notice how ADM wasn't as widespread and abused as heavily pre-covid as it is now? ADM on a honda prelude? Nissan Z? 20%+ ADM? for money that goes right in the dealers pocket? Because dealers had laws passed making it illegal for manufacturers to sell cars directly to people? Worlds smallest...

I miss my hood decals. the DH was only slightly more than a GT w/ the options I wanted. I couldn't do a 3rd gen with the sync system. The infotainment system in the 7g is still trash. It could be laid out a lot better, but Ford won't touch it.. because... Also I really hate the lack of physical...

Who?
