That center Pioneer speaker looks nice. Being that it’s 4 ohm vs. stock OEM 8 ohm, does it sound louder than the other speakers? Like, does it sort of stand out?
I still don’t know if it’s really a bad thing to go with lower ohm on a little center speaker. I chickened out and got that Dayton...
You make a good argument for changing out the shifter. The replies have made me feel a little better. The stock shifter is a bad design. at least Manual mode should be maybe down and to the right like an L shaped gate.
Danish: You did ALL that in one night??!? Wow! and here I was sleeping...
Well at 500 Miles, still in break-in, I left the hardware store, put it in Sport and pulled out with some gusto. The RPM’s still kept climbing real quick and when I was hitting near 7,000 RPM, I realized I went one notch too far and was in manual mode And screaming in 1st gear.
DAMMIT...
Yes dragstrips are concrete, also they are coated with rubber for traction. But you know that since you mentioned no-prep racing. So you seem knowledgeable, so I’m not going to debate further. Seems the only edge asphalt has is in wet conditions.
That said, Dale Jr. doesn’t seem to like...
I saw a white Ecoboost in the showroom equipped with the Air Design splitter, leading me to believe it is part of an option package. It is sold at the Ford website, so in some ways I guess you could call it an OEM part?
I believe the mild angle of the splitter doesn’t have much downforce and...
To keep it at 1 Best/1 worst?
Best: Active Exhaust
Worst: No real knobs for Heat and A/C. I don’t mind the digital dash as much as I thought I would, but trying to adjust the fan speed is the worst example of distracted driving. They give me steering wheel buttons AND a knob for stereo...
LMAO…..”Dinner Table”. :cwl: I was calling them bookshelves.
Agree with you all….There are a ton of splitter designs, and none seem to feel “right”. IMO the Air Design felt the most proportional…enough to make me forgive the tape as primary mounting. The look and texture is the same as the...
The key word I picked up on was CONCRETE. I just watched a video of Dale Jr. talking about how much NASCAR drivers hate racing at Dover because the concrete track is slick and they can’t get traction.
Without considering any other factors, try accelerating on asphalt.
I know what you mean…The Air Design splitter was the perfect look I wanted it, but was so disappointed it just taped on. What that told me is that it does nothing if just tape holds it on. I got it anyway, and it is holding fine because I really liked the look.
I had 18 years of an...
Accessory prices can vary wildly. I got the same set of rear louvers for almost $100 cheaper at CJPonyparts over AM.
Check CJ…they have many parts cheaper than AM. don’t get me wrong, I like AM but a dollar is a dollar.
Good luck! You know sometimes assembly line workers throw some random item in the door just to mess with people. Years ago I had a friend who had a rattle in his door that was driving him crazy. He opened it up and there was an empty soda can inside….lol.
But in your case I think it’s a...
Looks good! I got the Air Design front splitter (which was stock for the Ecoboost.) I liked the look of it and got it directly from Ford. I was dissapointed to find out it just tapes on to the existing nub of a splitter that sticks out. I wish it bolted on like a proper part.
Oh well, it’s...
I know if the car comes with 20” wheels, it comes with the K brace.
I THINK if it has the Performance Package it also comes with the strut tower brace.
I might be wrong, but I think it comes down to the options and packages.
I agree…it’s way way way over the top. But that is the nature of a true concept drawing. I think the artist has nailed the feel of excitement of the car!
If I sound artsy…well, I have a degree in commercial art and professional illustration was my entire career…lol.
I don’t know if sound deadening like Dynomat would solve a rattle. Sounds more like a loose screw or clip. Personally I’d try to solve the rattle by isolating the rattling panel or trim …and if it’s loose clips, just secure with small tabs of 3M double sided tape. Just enough to lock in the...
I think the drawings are amazing and the renderings are extremely professional looking.
For those who think they seem too over the top…They look perfectly in line with what a concept rendering would look like, even if exaggerated. Most concept renderings are exaggerated for that wild impact...
I think we misunderstood each other’s post.…lol.
My GT has 20” wheels which means it came with the metal cowl (K) brace already installed from the factory. All I had left to install was the tower strut brace.
Yes, apparently because it came with 20” wheels. I don’t have the PP, but it is a Gt Premium. Unfortunately when I ordered the Ford tower brace, it comes with the cowl brace, so I just stored it away.
Sunshade…Amazon has ones just as good as the Ford one but 1/2 the price.
Trunk mat. it’s nice because stuff doesn’t slide around on the rubber mat.
Subwoofer replacement. Pioneer 10” most popular.
Tower strut. Got the Ford Performance. Looks good and car handles better.
I love my rear...
