Being patient paid off! Was able to find a set of OEM PP2 wheels on marketplace. They were in pretty bad shape, so got them fixed and powder coated and man do I love this look!

Just used the stethoscope on the car. The tapping was there on the cold start, but it wasn’t as pronounced. I held the stethoscope in all the places I think would be hotspots. The only one that returned serious vibration was the PCV valve. I will continue doing tests though, but not worried.

I agree with you. I think I am just a little nervous because I’ve had two prior coyotes that never made this kind of tapping noise so I think I’m just looking to put my mind at ease a little bit. Appreciate everyone helping. Love this community

I will. Going to try and look tonight and will update.

Yeah that is my only worry, I can live with the noise if that’s all it is. it makes me concerned that it is a relatively new sound that only appears on random cold starts. I just got a mechanic stethoscope, so I am going to see if I have any luck narrowing it down myself.

Are the taps yours makes identical to mine? Mine started doing it around 4800 miles. If so, did the tech ever tell you why it happens inconsistently? My biggest concern is it coming and going, where as the bbq tick, it does it all the time.

I haven’t looked into it yet because it is a new quirk and it doesn’t bother me as long as it isn’t detrimental. What has me curious is that the car doesn’t do it every cold start, only on some and goes away once the car is warmed up and driven. It isn’t the arching sound, it is the higher...

I’m thinking PCV because it sounds like it is coming from that side around the valve cover area.

Car has recently developed this tick noise that is different from the bbq tick on cold starts. It does this inconsistently, and seems to do it more so on cooler days. After the car is warmed up and driven, the tick disappears. When the car is warm started, it also hasn’t done it. My guesses are...

Also asked my dealer about this. They said it wasn’t possible. I just think they didn’t want to look into it

Same here, installed them the other day actually. I think it’s worth it, you paid for them when you bought the car, and if you can reduce the turbulent air going to the rear wheels, why wouldn’t you? I’m sure everyday driving, you won’t notice anything really, but I’m sure they make a...

I’d leave the front bar alone. The bars are the same out of the DH. If anything, it’s the rear bar that could be worth a change, but from what I read, it can make the car quite uncomfortable for daily driving. Instead of going to that extreme, I would lower the car first. That’ll give it a...

Definitely. I think the chassis of the 1le is still more sorted, but I think Ford did a good job narrowing the gap a bit with the 650, and then even further with slight modification. I would need to actually drive a 1le spiritedly again though because it’s been a long time. I think Ford...

In stock form, it is night and day from both. They are such good cars, I would love to own one again someday. Now that my 650 has the track shocks and springs, as well as 295 fronts, 305 rears, the gap has decreased significantly. It’s honestly hard to tell which one handles better. Some days I...

It was probably by design. Ford couldn’t have the PP and DH non-hp challenge their halo car. Best way to do that was in the tire selection and size.

As someone who has had 2 s550s and an ss1le, my s650 is night and day so much better than my 550s. It was hard to be confident coming in and out of turns in the 550. The 650 dramatically improved on this. The steering rack may not communicate as much as I would like in the 650, but I can tell...

I think this will be the route I end up going. I reached out to Ford Racing to try my luck and they are completely discontinued with no stock left over :/

I saw this one, they unfortunate only have one 10.5

Looks like the wheels in the size I am looking for are no longer produced by Ford. They still produce the 19x9.5/19x10, but I am looking for the 19x10.5/19x11. If anyone knows where I could locate set, I’ve tried looking to no avail

Sounds good, thank you sir! You do the same.
