Just recently upgraded from an '11 Ltd to a '13 Sport silver on black, 402A, sunroof, tow pkg.
Must say, I should have started with the sport!
I do have some questions that the SEARCH button hasn't answered.
1) how does the climate control work with the remote start? I can't seem to understand how to make it a) come on b)set a temp or heated/cooled seat temp
2) a) What's a better upgrade for the headlights, HID or LED? b) I like the look and simplicity of LED, but will it throw adequate light or is it limited by the X's projectors? HID's can be had for cheap these days, LED's are like $100.
3) What fuel does everyone run? I've had n/a and blown mustangs, turbo cars (BMW, Mazda) and they all required premium (91+). Dealer told me it was fine to run 87 in the ecoboost...?
4) Oil changes - 7k mi between changes, on a turbo car? Do you guys to 3-5k in reality?
5) Any cool things the car does that I may not know? My bmw would roll all the windows down if you held the unlock button on the key fob, that kind of thing.
I just ordered an MDesign intake. I really like the look of the kit and hope the sound change is nice too. I know my other turbo and blower cars it made a world of difference in sound and performance with a CAI. I've read that is not so much the case on the EB due to the efficiency of the stock airbox.
Future mods: Tune and tighten up the suspension! I dont' know if some lowering springs will help on their own or if I'll need shocks/struts too. It's 100x better than the Ltd, but with this much power I'd like it to be just a bit tighter.
