What did you do to your 5th Gen?

[Eric F]

Exactly. During my work travels, I will most likely change it to the lower Octane Performance Tune (87). Save money on gas and get better MPG. But for now, I'm having fun looking for challenges around my neighborhood. I raced a Mitsubishi with obnoxious spoilers, lowered, LOUD muffler and over took him for 6 stop lights
The little asian kid who had his girlfriend with him and his buddy in the back seat (I'm asian myself - Filipino) finally asked me to put my window down and asked what the hell I had under the hood and I told him "stuff", smiled and drove away. So satisfying but I'm sure I'll get my ass handed to me some time.

Perfect response - LMAO!

I had the same fun with a Audi I had him at 3 or 4 lights and he pulled up next me and ask what I had done and if my truck was stock I smiled and said nope have a nice day. The look on his face was priceless.

I love it. I'm going to run a few errands and will most likely drive like an asshole for the rest of the day. I hope to God I don't get a ticket and/or get punched in the face by someone. LOL
My wife's my auto insurance broker. She said she'd drop me as a client if I get 1 ticket.

Probably a good idea not to have her ride with you right now. Let the buzz of the new toy wear off first.

Radar detector and lidar jammer AKA laser jammer

 

[Forddealz]

Where on the sport front grill is a good place to install laser jammer's? I want to later test out the final product with the laser and detector community people in the field. They already informed me to turn it off after the initial hit and to respect.

 

[SurrealOne]

No need to turn off if you get the right system it will turn off for you and reset. ALP three head system is the best of the best.

Tell her you are searching for a new insurance broker. Better than searching for a new wife

What? you need 3 of them up front?

Which one do you suggest for me escort max 360 or V1? I and also what are those things called that you need to peel on the headlights?

 

[SurrealOne]

What? you need 3 of them up front?

Yes one for front plate and one for each head light. In Calif we must have a front plate and the local police like to target the plate with laser sights and if that gets blocked the headlights are next target. Keep in mind most police now use lidar guns not radar and the escort and V1 only ALERT you to radar and only alert you after you get hit with lidar. In other words when it's to late and the red and blue lights are on you. I will PM you with some good info

A message from Anthony at Livernois:

Jon,

Sorry to hear that, but glad to hear you've figured it out. The plugs we sell and suggest to run are the OEM Ford Motorcraft plugs that already come stock in your model year. The earlier 2010-mid 2013 models had an inferior stock Motorcraft platinum plug that Ford has since superseded with this newer iridium fine wire style plug that is also a heat range colder than the older platinum plugs. The newer plugs also have been gapped better from the factory now, which we then adjust further down to .030" to avoid any issues with spark being blown out from the elevated boost pressures our tuning provides. So your vehicle being a 2016 already has the updated stock Ford Motorcraft plugs that we sell, so you are all set there. Then if it feels like the truck is stuttering or hesitating at high RPM / boost , typically at the top of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear during hard acceleration, you know to pull the plugs and tighten the gap down to .028-.030" That is not as necessary now on these newer models since Ford has been doing a better job on their stock plug gap since they had so many issues on the earlier models. If you had a 2010-13 model vehicle, I would suggest to ditch your plugs for the newer version gapped to .030", but you already have the newer plugs we use from the factory and would know almost instantly if they needed to be gapped the first few times you went full throttle. Spark blow out from boost is something that you cannot miss typically, you'd feel the vehicle stuttering and surging instead of holding you back in the seat. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and we hope you have a great weekend Jon!

Thank you

Anthony

Last item on the agenda, find some performance brakes. Preferably Brembo's.

I got my windows tinted at work! Put 35% on top of the manufacturers privacy tint then put 15% on the front.
Pictures were the day it was done so it hadnt settled much. The tint looks a lot more even now though.

Up next: Black trim, modded headlights, and a tow hitch.

 

[Summers22]

Installed an AVS Aeroskin hood deflector. Its EXACTLY the same as the Weathertech style. It was done in the garage and now its raining so pics will have to wait. Got the seal of approval from the wife

I always wanted to be in the stealth mode, under the radar type of person.

Yes one for front plate and one for each head light. In Calif we must have a front plate and the local police like to target the plate with laser sights and if that gets blocked the headlights are next target. Keep in mind most police now use lidar guns not radar and the escort and V1 only ALERT you to radar and only alert you after you get hit with lidar.

Nice, thanks. I will check it out but it seems like a cat and mouse game between the two.

Light smoke on the headlight + med smoke on tails.
