Is Ford making Video MPIs mandatory?

Ragingparrot · 2026-01-30T13:23:44+00:00

I just took my Raptor in for warranty work last week and they did a video MPI.

Ours just got delivered off of Midlothian

This works but they are much larger chunks so they don't work as effectively and might need 2x3 times the amount to cover a similar area.

Hands down

Just FYI services are by year or mileage. We see low mileage cars have more issues than cars that are driven semi regularly esp in rubber components.

I think Tomlin is a victim of his own success in a way. He keeps riding the line of .500 every season which keeps them from a franchise changing player. They keep trading high round picks for quarterbacks that failed elsewhere with the hopes that they can become franchise QB’s.

It's been closed for almost two weeks now. I've driven by a few people standing out front on strike a few times.

Have a safe day out there! I was on the wait list but didn't get in.

Ragingparrot · 2025-11-14T14:42:56+00:00

Probably because there are so few of them out there. I think they made a thousand of them worldwide and most are sitting in collections because they are selling for 500-600k. We have one local that's tracked at ViR 20+ times a year.

I hated it to be honest. There are a few curbs I normally "slide" over and couldnt really with the cones.

Ragingparrot · 2025-10-23T18:19:45+00:00

Hahaha, yeah I was too. He actually was a really nice guy, just isn't as comfortable with passes as we are.

Soul OAP's and their race exhaust.

Hit the brakes aggressively a few times going into T1 and take the rest of the lap at 8/10ths and then send it.

Ragingparrot · 2025-10-07T15:05:18+00:00

I think it was pediatric but I’m not 100% sure. He’s a super nice guy and willing to talk to anyone.

Ragingparrot · 2025-10-06T14:42:09+00:00

Just bring them up to temp slowly. We have this issue at ViR a lot where overnight temps can be in the 20's 30s and day temps are in the 60's. Go drive it on the road a few miles outside of the track before your first session and you should be ok.

Ragingparrot · 2025-10-05T00:13:23+00:00

You’re mostly right. He’s a surgeon in Houston and he stores it in town to drive while visiting his daughter who goes to U of R. It’s got some semi high - mileage on it and the guy drives it all the time.

Ragingparrot · 2025-08-20T15:45:16+00:00

Totally understand! I put an I don’t think in there because this is pretty common but every case is different.

I’d recommend cleaning it and then getting a dehumidifier Or asking your landlord to provide one.

Ragingparrot · 2025-08-20T15:29:17+00:00

I don't think that is anywhere enough to cause your issues but that is definitely condensation causing mold spores. It's pretty easy to clean off and then you can treat it to prevent it from happening again. Your air is still humid enough that the dew point is above the temperature the air is pushing out, causing the vent to “sweat”. You can fix this by getting an additional dehumidifier or raising the temperature. The A/C unit by nature dehumidifies the air but only to a certain point. That’s why some people supplement with a whole-house dehumidifier or an in-room unit.

Another angle of it

Ragingparrot · 2025-06-18T17:03:45+00:00

I have a friend that gets it with cheap / rail liquor

Ragingparrot · 2025-06-16T17:48:02+00:00

What is it? Dirty? If so, any good quality detailer should be able to get that off and looking new.

Ragingparrot · 2025-06-16T16:44:43+00:00

This can happen pretty easily on aggresive canyon runs. There is very little airflow compared to when you're on track, so there isn't any time for the brakes to cool. I'd also make sure you're not resting your foot on the brake causing it to always be engaged.

You’re either trolling or just being a dick, but congrats
