13 Flex in Canal Winchester, OH

Just submitting an intro.
I've had my '13 Flex Limited ecoboost for a couple years now. It is completely stock and is mainly driven by the wife and as the family vehicle (3 kids). Perhaps when it is paid off I may mod it, but it seems perfectly fine as is and you can't make a 5k lb. vehicle much faster without spending a bit of cash (probably more than I want). I do have summer tires on the 20" rims it came with and purchased a set of used 18" factory wheels that I run snow tires on. I did install a Fumoto oil drain valve to make oil changes a bit less messy. I run a Thule Force XL when road tripping, using some aluminum crossbars I got from amazon (Rage Powersports). If I can ever find a deal on some Yakima whispbars I'd like to go with those as they look much cleaner, but my $100 bars work ok. I'm mostly a lurker and swing by here when I have maintenance issues/questions. I try to do most of my maintenance myself as long as it isn't too crazy.
My primary vehicle is a '07 Honda Civic Si sedan. I do miss a manual trans when driving the Flex, but for what it is, I can't complain and the paddle shifters are kinda fun.

You might be surprised...you actually can make it a lot faster for not too much money.

550$ for a device and sct tune would get you at least 75 ft/lbs of torque and maybe more and you wouldnt even need the 40$ 3 bar map sensor
 
Welcome aboard, OGP, glad to have you and your Flex here!  Do post pics of your rides when you can!  I also miss driving a manual ... when there's no traffic LOL!
