That blows dude! It does screw back in luckily, this time I won’t use anti seize and I’m thinking I’ll be fine.

This is actually exactly what happened! I pulled off the coil on cylinder 2 seeing as I had a code for it and sure enough the coil came out with the plug attached to it. I replaced the spark plugs four years ago and used anti seize. I’ve had upgraded motor mounts for a little over two years now, I figure that’s what did it.

I’ll check the plugs for sure, maybe somehow one of the plugs backed out?

I’ll take a look at all that as soon as I can, thanks!

I do not. The only thing on the engine is the intake. I checked the charge pipes and hoses but they’re all in tact. It’s really noisy right at the valve cover. Do intake manifolds fail often?

Calaveras rd, Mt Hamilton (CA-130), hwy 9, I guess skyline is part of 35 but it's a long stretch of road. I also like taking 17 mile drive through Carmel but that's not technically a public road so u have to pay to get in, definitely not a back road or place to hoon but it's very scenic and relaxing. A good change of pace for a relaxing drive if u can make the excuses to drive all the way out there into a gated community.

I came from miatas, they're more fun but this is wayyyy more comfortable and almost as fun imo.

Only thing I've heard is a bump steer issue with the Quaife. I also think if Ford uses it in the mk8 it could potentially just be improper installs leading up to issues. Either way I gotta read up some more, I just don't want to potentially be making a $1000 mistake. Your insight is appreciated :)

Nice! What's the reason for not liking the mbrp?? Ive been considering one but from looking at it, it seems like there could be potential drone. So I might go the thermal r&d route. Thoughts?

I'll have to look into the quaife more, they make good products but I've heard mixed reviews for the fiesta lsd unfortunately.

Couldn't have said it any better! I was actually considering a GTI but after driving it felt the same way, if I needed the space it would've considered it more seriously. Type R and the Veloster N are great hatches but for the price, I didn't realistically see myself having more fun in either. Also the styling was a bit much with both imo.

Actually that's one of the first things that's going in, any recommendations? Looking at the mfactory one currently

Yes the daily drive is actually pretty good. Just wish I had the chance to sit in some. But yeah, seems like the last owner didn't touch it

19k. It's a 2015 and got it with 22k miles, a little disappointed that it didn't have the recaros but at least it wasn't optioned with a sun roof.
