    Roof Wrap Question

    So looking at wrapping my roof, and trying to figure out how the **** to get the antenna off. Anyone have a good guide on how to get the headliner down to access? Really don't want to mess that up. Beyond that, how do you get the drip rail molding off? I did it on my Focus ST with ease, and...

    Need to replace steering rack

    Wtf?!?! Them quoting $1200 more in just this few months is wild. Still happy I just went and did it myself to save the money.

    Another power steering assist fault question

    Having done it myself to save the extra $1k+, the part I got from rockauto is the identical part from ford but cheaper. And I mean literally the exact same, warranty and all. Just more of a pain in the ass to actually get it warrantied most likely (hopefully I never have to do it). And you can...

    Need help

    Hmm, now I wish I knew what it would sound like to replace the 3rd cat with an x pipe and muffler delete just for reference. I haven't seen that exact combo in my searches so if you remember one that would be awesome to know.

    Need help

    I don't have any ideas on the exhaust, I have a muffler delete and like it so haven't attempted other mods. Maybe one day downpipes, but in no rush to do more power mods atm. As for the tune: https://www.ghtuning.com/product/2010-2019-sho-flex-explorer-sport-sct-x4-power-pack-package/ This...

    Suspension setup for non PP springs vs coils

    From what I have seen the ride is less harsh with PP and lowering springs than coilovers and coilovers lower the car further than the lowering springs even at the highest settings. I had the same debate but just went with PP struts and lowering springs when I did mine back in september/october...

    Steering Column Squeak

    Finally found the source of the squeak and it is at least accessible which is great. The boot where the column passes through the firewall right behind the pedals is where the squeak is coming from. This post has a great video of another ford with the same issue: reddit post So now I just need...

    Odd chemical smell

    So after replacing my steering rack last weekend, every time I start the car there is an odd chemical smell for the first few minutes and then it goes away. This didn't happen right before the install, but I can't figure out what we could have touched that would cause a weird smell in the cabin...

    Steering Column Squeak

    A few months ago my steering column had developed a small squeak but forgot about it as the car sat for 3 months while I waited on replacing the steering rack. Once I started driving it again the past 2ish days it was still there and as annoying as ever so obviously not related to the rack at...

    Steering locked

    I just replaced mine on saturday and it worked without programming, but I did flash the as-built data from the original using forscan. I didn't update the firmware as I was a bit scared to try that and brick the rack. Just be prepared for exhaust bolts/studs to be a massive pain in the ass. Even...

    Check engine light flashing, running rough.

    The one on my car is 100% plastic, and that should be true for all SHO's and from what I can tell the PI's have a metal skid plate which is why yours is metal.

    BLISS vs Spotter Mirrors

    That is basically what my car is to some extent. I don't have BLIS, a sony headunit, cooled/heated seats, or sunroof. Just a white PP SHO. When I first got the SHO I was worried it wouldn't have the blindspot mirrors like my focus ST had but thankfully my car is a weird spec and has them.

    BLISS vs Spotter Mirrors

    I wonder if the mirrors are tied to a specific package? My '13 PP came with the mirrors that had the little blindspot mirror already but my car is one of the rare non-sony (and no heated/cooled seats which makes me sad) cars so maybe that is why. Love the mirrors I have and wouldn't trade them...

    If I return my tune to stock will the car run correctly?

    100% need the stock MAP sensor for stock tune. I have forgotten before and the car goes into limp mode and you can't go anywhere.
