    Head Lights for an Interceptor

    Proper aiming is 25 feet and 2 inch drop, while aiming at a blank wall. Maybe you could grab (installed loosly) LED bulb, and play/wiggle it, to get the pattern you would like. It might take some custom shimming to get the "filament" into the sweet spot of the reflector. Plan-B would be to...

    Aftermarket/custom flat roof rack

    I used this to mount our kayaks (worrdied about moonroof). Nothing really aftermarket for 2016 Explorer Sport. So I build my own. I used those bolt threads (remove plastic caps) along the roof rack rails. Then 90-degree Aluminmum angle, bolted to the rails. Then welded some crossbeams to...

    2018 Sport mild build

    I did the PowerStop ones, just cause they "look cool", and needed rotors/pads for $500, sure! FYI: Actually drilled rotors are LESS functional, as they have less thermal mass (less physical mass to absorb heat). Trust me, I spend $5,000 on brakes (rears only) for my raecar.

    Free Magnaflow

    Thanks for the research. Yes, I have a Corsa myself, but occasionally we tow, and then you are on highway heavy-throttle... possibly looking for just a wee bit more silence from the Magnaflow 12468 might just be enough... ?

    Free Magnaflow

    Yup, what is the distance BETWEEN PIPES ? Possible to fit in CURRENT exhaust, in the "H-Pipe" area (adding "extra Magnaflow muffler)... https://www.livernoismotorsports.com/cache/images_ePIM_original_P04_LPP14324-BLK_w760_h500_q75.jpg Specifications | MagnaFlow Part # 12468 Body Finish...

    Free Magnaflow

    Could you tell me the "centerline distance between pipes"? (interested in your exhaust, but in Detroit... ) Thinking of adding the Magnaflow 12468 to my exhaust, could use measurements - thanks!

    Wheel Load Rating

    Look up max tow rating capacity. Then 10-15% of trailer weight is on tongue, so that would be on the rear wheels. YOU do the math...

    Question on Wheel Fitment

    Total offset (from edge of rim, to mounting surface of wheel). Try looking at first 4 photos off Mustang: Wheels/Tires - 1999

    Question on Wheel Fitment

    Yes 158mm to 178mm. But how much room do you NEED? Measure what you currently have (tire to strut) and see if -20mm will fit. On other vehicles, I have 5mm clearance (MEASURED actual, not calculated), and no issues. p.s. On my offset calculator I get different values: 9"x44mm =171mm...

    2012 explorer air deflector skid plate

    p.s. I have heard people lose them (here in Michigan snow), so I drilled a small hole and zip-tied mine in the front. Should it come loose, it would still be hanging there till I got home...

    Auto manfacturers look to restrict repair & customizing after purchase

    IMOHO, I see White/Black/Grey areas: You put an aftermarket chip, remove redline, spin the motor to 7,000rpm, blow motor - is Ford responsible for your modifications? You put on a catch can, this is not factory, changes the emissions settings, engine fails... is Ford responsible for your...

    Larger Tires on OEM & Aftermarket Wheels

    A 3% tolerance is still considered "in spec". At 60mph x 3% = 1.8mph. Its usually >5% where 3+mph is considered out of tolerance, and may/will affect Traction Control and ABS and MPH.

    How to: ecoboost_xsport consolidated build/maintenance thread

    Optimal EXTRACTION is approximately 4-6" behind radiator. Glad its working for you, but you would gain more, having moved it more forward.
