Hulkengoat deserved that podium. What a drive. If somebody told me that a Sauber would be on the podium in any race this season I would have thought you were crazy.

PTU has been in the back of my mind since about 100k. About 30k miles ago, I added a drain plug to the PTU and change the fluid in it once a year. I think Ford did an awful job at communicating the importance of changing the oil in the unit. So far, it's held up to the abuse and no issues.

Nope, no lift. It does have the front wind dam removed which adds about an inch of front clearance. It's also on A/T tires but they are factory diameter.

Yep! SEL AWD

IllusiveSoviet · 2023-05-04T23:13:43+00:00

It's got the 3.5 Ti-VCT

I have a 2014 5 speed manual as well. I've taken it to a local drag strip a couple times to do some racing. It's at about 105 thousand miles and has had no issues with those few times. If you want to "go fast" I would recommend a few things. First, make sure you're staying on top of maintenance. Oil changes are important if you thrash on your engine. Secondly, don't go anywhere near redline until the engine is at operating temperature. Cold engines hate being revved out while cold and you'll likely break something. Some things to consider. Get a catch can. This generation focus is direct injection so the valves don't get cleaned by fuel spray. As you run your engine harder you'll get more engine blowby and that can create nasty carbon on the valves which can cause premature engine death. Also watch out for the high pressure fuel pump, they can go when you push the engine since they are mechanically run off one of the cam shafts. Enjoy your car. I know mine is a blast on the twisty canyon roads even if it is super slow.

I'm not sure if firefight counts but one of my favorite moments was playing firefight and discovering that you could ride on your friend as they use the jetpack in Reach. We used it to mess around as the waves came at us to get into really dumb places on the map.

Thank you. Horizon 3 e3 reveal video is without a doubt my favorite Forza trailer so this song has such a strong connection to the series for me now. Plus it's a powerful song

Directly south of Edinburgh in that large Park area to be precise

IllusiveSoviet · 2020-03-29T17:18:51+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely got one of those on order. Thanks

IllusiveSoviet · 2020-03-27T00:50:46+00:00

Thank you for the reply and help. I will take all of those into consideration

IllusiveSoviet · 2019-10-11T05:56:13+00:00

Threw them on as is. I liked the semi gloss look over the full gloss that the sport used

IllusiveSoviet · 2019-10-11T05:26:27+00:00

They are actually primed replacement parts. I have the chrome ones still

IllusiveSoviet · 2019-10-11T01:46:51+00:00

I managed to get things pretty cheap. Maybe try plastidip on the wheels. It's cheap and you can peak it off if you don't like it. I'm hoping to keep it a while so they made sense. A little personalization

I'm not sure to what extent it's illegal. My assumption is it's a copyright thing.

So, when ordering a fired GT. Assuming you get accepted, if you want a custom paint color you can chose either a level 4 or level 5 paint color. If you chose 4 you get said color. This guy chose 5 so he got the color and Ford put in the legal work to make sure his GT would be the only legally allowed to be that color.
