- 2015 Explorer Sport
Good morning,
The past couple of days have been hectic, but Thursday on schedule I picked up my 2015 Explorer Sport. Thursday night I installed the K&N panel filter and emailed Livernois my strategy and sw id codes. I also installed my Gorilla locks, that took under 5 minutes, 4 was figuring out how to remove the spare tire setup. Friday I had the front 2 windows tinted 20% and 20% across the windshield. Friday Evening Livernois sent me 93 Octane performance, 93 Tow, 91 Octane performance, 91 tow. Now this sport feels like a twin turbo beast. I have the whole weekend to play around with this tune more, but as always Livernois has place a huge smile on my face.
Friday afternoon, I got my Retrofit source HID kit. I got these installed finally on saturday. The bulbs for our truck have to be pushed in very hard and then they twist and lock. I was afraid of breakage, so I thought the bulbs did not fit. The Retrofit Source Morimoto 9005 5Five DSP with Canbus are awesome! Best HID lights I have used so far, and I have always been a diehard DDM Tuning user. My next issue is the LED Foglights. I ordered from Diode Dynamics and chose pure (5k) whiteXML2. These bulbs are too big on the base of the bulb. It hits the winshield fluid resevoir and will not fit into the fog light housing. I will have to switch to 6000k and chose a lower wattage to get the same size bulbs as the stock H11.
Otherwise, I am very happy with the Sport! This is was a good choice. I thought I would miss the SHO, but now with this tuned I am very happy with my choice to move on to the SUV.
