What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[bpd1151]

I added roughly a pint of Motorcraft LV Trans fluid and noticed the car feels so much better and slightly on the Butt-Dyno since its my DD. IDK.
I'm not quite sure if its a placebo effect but has anyone experienced this?  Thanks.  Z

Overfilling slightly has consistently been recommended. Helps stave off any issues when launching hard.

A lil more lubricity never hurts.

Installed the Mdesign on the 2013 PI, Yes It does make a Difference

Elaborate please

It absolutely Feels Faster (and it did have a drop in K&N)
Sounds Better, I withhold Final Judgment till the Next 1/8 Mile

Thanks there bpd1151!  I heard there was a benefit of adding some extra trans fluid but never knew it would be felt per butt-dyno.Lol. Z

Anybody ever tries this out on the SHO? i know it's kind of a cheap trick but maybe it will help get my 60' into the 1.8's tomorrow.

Yeah hopefully i can report back with good news. If it doesn't work out i can take a second to lift the car and rip em out and i'm out a whole $12.  :'(

Yep tried it, didn't help.  Finally went to a set of H&Rs springs.  Tried this on my 2012 and 2013.  I even went with 2 full coil inserts on each side in my 2012.

Sent AJPTurbo some $$$ to get the tuning started on the MKS.

SHO has been detuned and 3 bar removed. The only thing left is to scope the valves to see if copious amounts of corn have any effect on buildup.

The MKS has gone through a long shake out process, I drive 500 miles a week so I want everything right prior to duty. Also want to utilize as much of the remaining warranty as possible.

So far we've done the following...

My Dime...

New tires (Tiger Paw GTZ UHPAS on the stockers for winter)
Rear shocks (Ford gave me some new struts, why not?)
Steering wheel (Original had a worn spot that drove me nuts, got a used unit in perfect condition from LKQ for $58.00)
850 CCA battery
X4 mounted and awaiting AJPTurbo tunage (COUGH!)
V1 and remote screen running YAV1

Ford's dime...

Body control module
New steering column
Front struts
sway bar end links
Lower control arm bushings
Brake Booster

Coming soon...
AJPTurbo 3 bar 93 and E45 calibrations
2013 caliper/rotor/pad conversion
Expensive fluids all around. Amsoil? Quantum Blue? Combination? Maybe a trip to Columbus to see IRONDOOR for PTU party.
Lockpick
Laser Jammers
Summer wheels and sticky tires
Full detail/debadge/paint correction/ceramic pro or cquartz finest

FoMoCo, are you headed towards getting rid of the SHO?  Curious why you are returning to stock.

FWIW, I find the MKS to be a great platform.  If mine didn't have the stutter issue, I'd be looking into long term ownership.

SHO will be going away.

There are things I prefer about GEN 4.1 and specifically the Lincolns.

IMO

Lincoln looks better and carries an even better stealth profile.

I prefer the analogue gauges to the useless displays in 4.2, the tach sucks, the MPG gauge sucks, lack of customization sucks.

The interior is more comfortable, especially the seats.

I much prefer the Lincoln navscreen layout.

The adaptive headlights are amazing.

Lighted door sills are a nice touch.

Lincolns depreciate more, so I can buy them cheap. $48 grand buys a new SHO or a used Lincoln and lot of repairs/upgrades. Items I like from the SHO are easily upgraded.

Bottom line?

My youth is gone, LOL!

Oh dear God. FoMo's regressing. Off to the nursing home he's destined.

Better hope Brad programs you a relatively mild "Old Fart" tune, lest you risk crapping in your Depends.

Lolololol.

In all seriousness though, enjoy!

Oh no, not Bronzie!!!  Feared this day would come, but I guess time & comfort stop for no machine.

 

[FearlessAZ]

Are you jsut moving the goodies from the SHO to the Lincoln?

 

[SHOdded]

C*******o meant a person that is the ethanol master.. should i not use that word?

Corn=ethanol
Fomo is obsessed with ethanol
Fomo is c*******o like from beavis and butthead

??

These types of words make our jobs difficult.  And Beavis & Butthead isn't exactly a great frame of reference for posting in a public forum like this.

Nothing to move but the 3 bar....

Whatever happened to the super EPP exhaust cutout?

I still have it, will probably sell it

 

[FearlessAZ]

If you still have it by Feb/March, I will buy it in a heartbeat. Shipping and everything.

I would beg Mike but the jig is MIA to make new ones.
