I got lucky and found them locally on Facebook marketplace for $200.

It’s actually Carbonized Grey.

I went the easiest/cheapest route and sprayed the centers of the wheels with gloss black Plasticcoat paint. They came out “OK” and overall I like the look better than all silver. They are only for the winter and then I will switch back to the stock all seasons for better MPG’s. The tires...

I see this an older thread but wanted to know if anyone had a resolution to this issue? My system (XL) also locked up while turned on and has restarted itself a couple of times while driving. I found unlocking the truck with the app made it turn off.

That would be the easiest option for sure.

I currently have Bronco Sport wheels with my original tires on my carbonized gray AWD Maverick. This is fine for running around town and highway use and I appreciate the gas mileage that I am getting with this set up. When they wear out I will replace them with a better grade of tire...

It is basically the same motor as the Focus so I thought the turbo configuration would be similar. I’ll take a peek this weekend to see what’s what.

Thanks. It was worth a shot.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether this mod will work or if it is even worth doing? I am referring to the first part of the video where he adjusts the tension on the waste gate actuator. I don’t have any experience with turbos so I don’t want to do anything I will regret.

So installed this muffler at the end of the system and it sounds virtually the same. I realized when I cut the original one off and started it that it was just a resonator but by that time I was already committed. I guess I will need to replace the actual muffler with a straight pipe and...

I bought an FX Series Flowmaster which supposedly has a very mellow sound. All I have to do is figure out how to fit the pipes and hang the muffler so it looks reasonably professional.

I did this years back on a Cavalier I bought as a commuter. I think I put a Thrush turbo muffler on it. I actually got compliments on how it sounded but it only lasted 2-3 years before rotting out.

I know that there now several options out for cat back exhausts but they are more than I want to spend. Has anyone just replaced just the muffler and down turn and if so what did you put on? I am not expecting a performance gain, I just want a little more noise. I was thinking along the...

Back in the 80’s they were all limited to 85 MPH. I guess they figured that people wouldn’t try to top out their cars if they couldn’t brag about that their actual top speed. There was some logic to it but it wouldn’t work nowadays with smart phones and you all the other devices we have that...

I just got 36 MPG on a highway trip with a bone stock truck. I admit to being somewhat conservative with the throttle and allowing it lose a little speed on the hills while averaging about 70 MPH. With a less restrictive intake and exhaust, a tune, and more extreme hypermiling techniques I...

So I ran through my first tank of premium and I really didn’t notice a big difference in power. Mileage wise I just got 34.8 going from Hamden CT to Rochester NH. I filled up with 87 on my way back and I got over 36 MPG. I was cautious with the throttle but still averaged around 70 mph...

The resolution on my 2013 Accord is so much better. 9 years of technological progress shouldn’t mean taking a step backwards . The display is fine in terms of resolution, its definitely the camera that is terrible. I would definitely be interested in upgrading the stock camera if that is an...

I just filled it with premium as an experiment. I haven’t noticed a difference yet but maybe the computer hasn’t registered it yet.

I hit a 1000 miles so I wanted to try a couple of 0-60 runs. On my first pass I measured a 6.11 but I think I stopped the clock a hair early. The 2nd pass was 6.62 which is probably more realistic. I braked torqued on both runs and the first time it chirped the tires and it seemed to launch...
