Did my first autocross in ~15 years last weekend. It wasn't SCCA, so didn't have to worry about the SCCA's stability guidelines. It was super fun. And I learned that if you are a real hack behind the wheel, in lobo mode with stability control off, it just might be possible to spin. But you'd...
That appears to be a nice kit.
I've always bought whatever walmart / oreilly's, etc had. The only issue I've ever had was breaking a plastic handle. And the glue drying up.......
OK, went and looked at the big syringe from Harbor Freight I used to put oil in, and it holds 7 oz, not 17. Not sure why I thought it was 17 oz.
It took nearly one full syringe full of oil to fill the front diff. So around 6 oz.
?
There are two diffs.
A front diff. Or whatever ford calls it. This one took a pint.
A rear diff. This one took a just few ounces.
I have no idea what the actual capacities of each of the two diffs are.
I just know what it took to make the oil dribble out of the fill hole.
We are on parallel paths.
I came to the same conclusion regarding wanting to change to 18" Konig 'gram wheels, and the tire availability dilemma. Almost zero choices for summer only tires. While I love the idea of having a set of summer tires to autox, I ultimately decided that a set of...
I routinely "overinflate" the front tires by 3-5 psi since most vehicles have 60% or more of the total vehicle weight on the front tires. And the front tires do most of the stopping and turning.
I've never understood why there are separate front and rear pressure specs on the door placard...
1. Regarding the thumbdrive, it appears that the 22-24's had an EZ mode selection for "driver restriction" in one of the modules. I've searched the 2025 spreadsheet for everything I can think of and am not finding anything. I certainly could have missed it. I have seen posts that indicate...
My 2025 Lobo's option 6/12 spoke wheel (and 2025 BAP wheel?) and tire combo was ~55 1/2 lbs. Assuming the weight of the OEM tire is accurate on tire rack at 26 lbs, then the wheel is around 29-30 lbs. I was highly skeptical of the previous mention of 37 lbs since OEM wheels are generally not...
