    Crankshaft position sensor - O ring install

    Any of you have any tips on how to tackle this? I need to do the tsb ( https://latemodel.cachefly.net/downloads/tsb05-14/tsb13-06-15.pdf ) as I have pretty much the symptoms listed there (same codes, no drivability issues, car is an early '13). Looks very freaking tight in there... was...

    Lets talk Ford axlebacks (all 6 of them)

    It seems there are like 6 different kinds for the 2011-2014 years that I can see... and every other company that sells them seems to twist around the part numbers and descriptions... so it's practically a lottery on what you're getting. Levitton ford and tasca usually have the lowest prices so...

    pypes xpipe for long tubes

    Why is this thing so expensive? 330-340 bucks for an xpipe? It doesn't look much different than the one for factory cats... and that's 150 bucks. Are the longtube connectors in the same spot as the factory cats end? aka could one add the collector ends to the 150 dollar pipe to mate to...

    Washer bottle

    Need some ideas what to do with this thing. I live in AZ so I rarely ever use it. I have a Paxton on the car and the corner of the bottle is damn near touching the IC piping. I'm floating two ideas: 1. remove it for weight/clearance purposes - is there a sensor in it that warns of low...

    GT500 fan on paxton coyote

    Those of you who have done this... what did you end up doing to the brackets? The fan seems to sit between 1/2 and 3/4 inch lower in the shroud (or it's bigger one of the two, point is, it's closer to the bottom edge), and thus the brackets fit like crap... They barely fit before, now they're...

    Longtubes on a paxton coyote

    I need to get some exhaust work done on my car - 2013 gt auto with a paxton, stock pulley, 3c converter and an offroad x pipe. I wanna get long tubes, and from the reading in here it looks like there is no difference between the 1 3/4 and 1 7/8; and that Pypes are among the few that have a...

    Where to get radio bezel clips?

    So I'm working on my stereo and had to pop out the radio bezel a few times - one for putting in a raxiom nav and second to put in amps and whatnot... Needless to say, those stupid white plastic clips either came out in pieces or flew into orbit around Jupiter so now out of 6 I only have 2 left...

    strut/shock settings

    Little bit of detail about the car: strange adjustable struts up front, viking double adjustables in the rear, BMR drag springs, rear sway bar relocation kit, rest is all stock (control arms in the stock place, stock mounts, etc). No front swaybar. Car is an auto with a 3C stall, has a...

    Paxton is on, now I need to fix the traction problem

    My car was hooking fairly good, 1.7 60's when it had just a 3C converter and x pipe and nothing else otherwise - bone stock suspension and 255/60/15 MT DRs. Now that it has a paxton on the stock pulley, traction has become an issue - rolling into it in 2nd produces a nice controllable drift...

    Paxton/Vortech cars with JPC fan

    Any of you have the JPC low profile fan installed with a centri blower? http://www.jpcracing.com/custom-made-low-profile-electric-fan/ Reason I'm asking, I'm almost done with my install and not happy with how close everything is due to the factory fan... The chopped out corners is what...

    About to order paxton kit... questions

    The car is a 2013 auto with a 3C torque converter, o/r-x, drag radials and a Mike Rousch tune currently. Goals are around 600-650 at the wheels on a safe setup. The questions I have are regarding the beefcake special mainly, and the options to pick. I've done a few searches and don't see much...

    Discount code - Shane cannot receive PMs

    I tried sending Shane PMs as the sticky at the top says, and I get this: Is the only way to get the code to post the visitor's message onto his user page thing? (did that as well yesterday)

    60ft, lowering springs, and handling

    So I come from the 96-04 world where stiffer lowering springs that were handling biased, pretty much meant you lost .1 in the 60'; but the car didn't handle like a minivan anymore. The only solution was somewhat soft coilovers which helped body roll a lot, and didn't sacrifice launches. My 04...

    Ready to buy weld rt-s wheels... what offset/pad height?

    Ok, i'm set on the 15x8 for the rear and 17x7 for the front. I was able to find that I need a 5.5 backspace for a 15x8 wheel. According to Summit, Weld makes theirs a bit wider, at 8.25 it seems. 1. For the rear, do I need more or less backspace? is 5.5 fine, nothing going to rub? 2...

    15x8/10 and 17x7 Racestars for daily drivers?

    Do any of you run that combo around town/daily driving? I live in Phoenix, where we don't get much rain, so wet performance isn't an issue, and I am kinda looking at the racestars as the lightweight, year round wheel choice... Looks like I could get wheels and tires for the cost of lightweight...

    SCT iTSX vs X4

    Need to get a tuner on my car and been reading up on the itsx. Downloaded the app from the google play store, and I gotta say, the gauges are disappointing, but I have Torque if I really need it, so no big loss there. The question is if it's worth getting the itsx over the X4 if the gauges...

    Which X-pipe? 2011+

    Looking to get an offroad x pipe. It's kind of odd to see that a bunch of bent pipes can cost upwards for 500 bucks, so I gotta ask what some of them do that's so special? Is it just because of the name - magnaflow for example has a 500 dollar o/r x - and the new-ness of these cars? I've...

    Scosche dash kit vs metra lcd kit vs metra non-lcd kit

    Hi everyone, I just picked up my 2013 and it has the basic sync stereo, which is fairly awful. I think my first mod to the car is going to be the stereo. I'm fairly dead set on getting a Parrot Asteroid for the head unit, now the question comes in form of the dash kit. I saw the maestro...
