technically Whipple did it, just with Ford's approval, but i get your point. its hard to do much with how locked down the S650 still is, but some weight savings could definitely be done. rear seat deletes, passenger seat delete... but after that it becomes hard to get rid of much without getting...
kinda mixed on this, i would need to see an actual picture to give my thoughts. i will say that it looks like it will be blocking the marker lights and they havent added those onto the sketch
so... you get high horsepower numbers without supercharging it by... supercharging it?
there are 2 things i have seen:
1. if the vehicle thinks certain things are wrong, it will constantly try to apply the parking brake as a safeguard. this can be overridden by pushing and holding the parking brake lever to release, but will re-engage the moment you let off. i usually see this...
i can basically promise that there was no chance mismatching seats got denied coverage. i dont remember the timeframe, but if it was discovered and an RO opened within X days from the vehicle being delivered, Ford will cover it as "misbuilt", which goes through the warranty channels. if they...
i forgot to share it here, but i got the Billetworkz titanium shift knob and the manual shift boot and installed them, also anodizing the shift knob. here is the final result
and here was my anodizing setup
power bank going into a USB-C PD board set to 20V, positive on the bolt the shift knob...
that is actually the Anderson Composites style of hood vent. the Shelby Super Snake uses a different hood entirely, and the GT350 has a completely clear vent
@smurfslayer @MAT1955 admittedly, what i said is how things should go (and i have edited my message to reflect that now), but some dealers are definitely dirtier than others about it
without tuning, Ford has gotten these engines pretty well optimized. gone are the days of a 15hp aftermarket intake. cams do nothing, the block is bulletproof, the heads are crazy good flowing, the crank is forged, and so on. i think the most power you get with the gen 4s is headers and is...
it removes a restriction from the intake that may or may not actually make a power difference. no dealer would void your warranty over it, though. to deny warranty coverage, the dealer has to provide evidence that whatever issue is being repaired was directly caused by the customer or something...
i wish they printed it out of PETG, nylon, or something else instead of PLA. thats likely not gonna hold up in desert summers. the price of roughly $100 USD is also kinda steep for a 3D printed part that small, which probably costs less than 70 cents in material (assuming the spool was...
i have seen and opened the doors on an S550 with vertical doors installed, and here are some things i remember
- the door is really too heavy for this
- the door often made contact with the fender, both when opening sideways and up
- it required opening it out, then going up
- overall build...
the HP splitter actually does not use glue or tape. it is secured in place with screws and bolts, and clips into the bottom edge of the front bumper. this is why handling package dark horses come from factory without the splitter installed
in terms of the padding, there is no difference. however, the 600A had cloth and alcantara heated seats, where the 700A had vinyl and alcantara heated and cooled seats. massive upgrade
premium also allows you to get the appearance package and the Blue Ember paint, as well as having the security package standard. i will say, though, that if you plan on getting Recaro seats, you might want to stay with the 600A and get the security package. theres also the fact that 700A models...
i've heard really good things about them, too. im personally not a fan of how many things are overlays that have double-sided tape, but thats a me thing (because i vastly prefer replacements to overlays), and i am certain that it has no meaningful effect on the durability of their parts. i...
i like these wheels, but i gotta kinda agree with @Q6543 here. the whole "angular split 5-spoke with webbing and lug pockets" design is cool but not unique anymore. what happened to the interesting designs?
something like Project 6GR's remix of the GTD wheel the Ten-D, or Vossen's HF-2 and...
25 year old here; no, you're definitely right. any form of straight pipe sounds atrocious. it removes all tone and actual appeal to the sound in exchange for just being deafeningly loud. hopefully after some time and exposure to the drone he is going to experience, he will consider going for an...
