  1. Monster Adapt-X tuning review and development thread 2.0

    You have a segment of owners out there who have tunnel vision for nothing but hp/trq numbers while ignoring safety, drivability and the rest of the important things. Unfortunately, they don't learn until something goes south really fast. Hell, even then they might not learn. There are at least...
  2. Would You Buy Non-Hybrid FWD 2.5L Maverick

    Depending on location and climate, AWD does not make sense for some. Not looking at any person, just in general, but I find many people say they don't want or need AWD until the times comes in which it would be highly beneficial. Life isn't always predictable. Sometimes you don't have the...
  3. POSSIBLE Added Power? Livernois, 5 Star and Cobb tunes?

    Good question. I drive mine relatively normally and being tuned, I don't have to get on it to feel the substantial difference in all-around performance. In other words, you don't need to push it. Life is too short.
  4. First Cobb Access Port!

    The story of my life when it comes to tuning cars. Each time I did it, my initial response was asking why I waited. The Maverick has become a different vehicle IMO.
  5. 2025 XLT AWD ECOBOOST with 4K Versus 2025 XLT HYBRID FWD- I NEED ADVICE

    Looking back at car purchases I have made over the decades, I learned a few valuable lessons. The biggest being not to settle because buying a car isn't like buying shoes or a drill. When I was 18 I bought my first brand new vehicle which was a mid 90's Wrangler. My only requirements were a...
  6. Highest price for a lariat maverick EVER

    At the end of the day that's what matters. Are the higher packages worth the money? I wanted ONE feature in this truck that would make me go to a higher trim level to get it and to me it wasn't worth it. Everything else (like better tires) I could do cheaper and better.
  7. First Cobb Access Port!

    Allow me a few comments: I'm guessing I've had my livernois for 18 months and have been a wimp and didn't put it on. Today, don't ask why, but I just had enough and finally put on the 91-93 performance tune and took it for a brief spin. Compared to the cobb tune (no offense) on my WRX, this was...
  8. My Mud Flaps Are Despicable! lol

    Didn't I see things like that at Pet Boys thirty years ago? I dig the look!
  9. 35K miles Ecoobost AWD - Lazy/Slow acceleration and griding noise from tires

    Always start at the bottom and work your way up is what I say.
  10. 2.0L EcoBoost Underdrive Pulley

    Back in the 90's these were the rage. Add some u/d pullies and free up some hp. 2025 I think that ship has sailed or sunk?
  11. Check out this Decal

    That looks like quite the job.
  12. Issue with FordPass app update?

    I haven't operated my vehicle in a few days nor used the app until now and it updated with zero issue.
  13. New tires: 225/65/17 BFGoodrich Trail Terrain

    These tires wear very well at least in my case with 235's.
  14. Drive Modes (SPEED!)

    When this lesson was taught to me, I was much younger, and I vividly remember one of those car shows on TNN probably in the mid 90's give or take. The shows were run on Saturday and Sunday mornings and man, those were good programs. At the time the particular show took two cars to the track, and...
  15. Drive Modes (SPEED!)

    The beginning of the end of the malaise era was about '84 ish give or take. Performance (not just hp numbers) saw a resurgence from the days when a calendar was needed to measure 0-60. The 70's were a very dark time.
  16. Drive Modes (SPEED!)

    That was a very dark time that, thankfully, was relatively short lived. Due to government b.s., the Asians really started making a name for themselves.
  17. Drive Modes (SPEED!)

    The difference in how the vehicle responds in sport mode compared to a normal mode is surprising.
  18. Borla S-Type Catback - Lobo/Tremor

    Question: Is that considered a muffler? Out here we need a muffler in order to pass inspection, and I have seen the Borla kit and wondered is it a muffler or basically just straight pipe.
