Took the car in to the shop this week to get the tranny cooling installed this week.

 

I was given this for a rental. I got sea sick every time i drove it.

I went to pick the car up as soon as i could, and got it cleaned up.

Next will be switching the drivetrain fluids over to all synthetic. Later the '13 shocks, springs and swaybars.

Ford is coming out with some great looking cars, a huge jump from the past two generations. Nice car.

 

Thank you

 

Oh you were the one at cars and coffee with the sho.. I love those things.. If I get rid of my SRT for a car It will probably be a sho.. They have came a LONG way..

 

Its a fun/fast car, and as far the insurance cares its just a AWD Taurus so i'll enjoy the low premiums. Also being able to get 28.5mpg is also nice.

 

Brady has been doing some interesting things with ecoboost tunes. You might give them a call if you wanted.

 

Whats their S/N? So far Livernois is the main company doing tunes for the EB v6 engines with great results. Given the same engine in the F150 makes 420tq to mine 350tq, i know there is a lot left in the engine. Its just determining what the transmission can handle. For me the next mod will be the '13 PP spring & shocks to tighten up the handling.

 

I have to agree with many in this thread, car is look good. Do you feel its still nimble for the size? How does it tip the scales? MPG half decent?

 

Thank you. The AWD system while as not as good as a STI or EVO does a good job of keeping your from plowing through corners. There is still some body roll but it isn't excessive. I've taken the car to two AutoX's and its done better than i expected. Then main thing holding me back in AutoX is the fact that i cannot turn off traction control completely, but thats just because i don't have a PP SHO.
