I am running my factory Steelies in the winter and my Bronco Sport wheels in the summer, both factory 17x7". Ivan used Focus RS Brembos, which I assume where much larger radially than the Volvo ones I used.

Let it get off track, this is a good brake discussion with tons of info! I looked into the 2 piston corsair calipers while I was deep in this, and I thought the Edge uses them too. Can't remember for certain. Thanks for all this info, I'll probably upgrade to a better pad on this setup, and I'll...

I changed the fluid at 38k, and then again at 56k. Besides doing my dragy runs, I'm actually very light on my abuse, lol, and yes I get that this is an oxymoron! I don't do much testing anymore, but if I were, knowing what I now know now, I would do 2 drain and fills every 15k miles. And yes...

The only 2.3T that bolts directly to our downpipe is the Corsair 2.3T. The Ranger, Mustang, Explorer, etc. do not bolt up directly. You definately wouldn't want to choke that engine with a factory turbo either, haha.

Having a shake at 40mph between 1000-1500rpm is completely NORMAL. You are lugging a 2.0L engine, pushing 3700lbs at 40mph. My Evo used to do this pretty bad if I shifted to 5th gear under 30mph. You are just loading the vehicle too much. My recommendation is to give the gas pedal a little tip...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but yesterday marked 2 years since I swapped to the upgraded turbo. Zero Engine issues on roughly 47,000 miles (67,000 miles total). The trans was replaced at 57k miles, and I obviously contribute the 200+ 12 second passes to part of that, but the "official"...

Yes. Still functions as normal.

It's a whole new engine design. Even the 2.3L on the other models have a similar change with the intake filter attached to the front of the timing cover on the rwd platforms. I assume it's for packaging reasons, however, seeing the 2023 ford escape with the same engine, where the airbox used to...

Hey guys, I have had my brembo setup on my Maverick for 6 months now, and I wanted to share some findings with the forum. The Brembos in question come from the 04-07 Volvo S60R and V70R. These are also widely accepted as the same calipers that are from the same era STI. Disclaimer: I have NOT...

Just adding a small update. A long time ago when I installed my fuel pump and adjustable fuel pressure regulator, I could never fill my tank all the way up after that. Come to find out, when installing the ring that holds the fuel basket in place, I didn't get the ring seated correctly. The...

Since there has been next to no interest for it at this price, which I'm not really surprised, I'm lowering the price to $22,000 to see if anyone would be interested around this price point! Thanks! John

Which measurement? The difference between the inner and outer brake pad area? I think I posted pictures of the calipers I measured with on my build thread. The thing is, that is probably going to change for every caliper and every hub they get mounted to. The tolerance stacking will probably...

1: I mounted the calipers to the hub, and with the rotor in place, measured the two different gaps and took half the distance as what was needed to be removed. Both sides are now within .001". 2: That is a possibility. I didn't look into that, as I was wanting to move the caliper in some for...

I trimmed off of the caliper itself.here is a decent view of the machined surfaces. Sorry for the late response!

You probably could run the brembos as is. They will self align. I trimmed off .070" on one caliper and .110" off the other, of the mounting tabs for mine to be on center, and that also let me run the stock steelies and the bronco sport wheels I run. I got my brake lines from HEL performance...

Yes, volvo s60r/v70r, and I believe they are the same calipers as 06-07 STI calipers.

I put, what I consider, a very large price tag on it. If no one wants to negotiate based on that price, I guess I'll keep it for a while, lol.

Kinda. I want to build a car with/for my daughter who is 14. I plan to have her help me rebuild a car for her first vehicle.

Hello everyone! I am updating this thread to say I have officially put the truckette up for sale: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/2022-velcity-blue-12-second-maverick-for-sale.55997/ Bittersweet, but it will allow me to start a new project for my daughter for her first car!

Hello everyone. The time has come for me to put my Maverick, QuikRik, up for sale! I would invite anyone who is interested to take the time to review my extensive build thread: Project QuikRik. I will start with the price. I would like to get $25,500, AS IT SITS! All it's pluses, and all it's...
