    Tpms

    What year is your SHO. 2010's use bands and sensors inside tire. 2011 and up use Shrader Valve stem TPMS. 2010 owners need new bands as stock ones can't be re-used. 2011 & up should be able to move TPMS to new wheels. There are cheap deals on Ebay for Sensors for both types. I have 3 sets...

    Livernois Tune Redline Issue

    Is it possible you accidentally hit one of the paddles. I had this happen in my G8 (bumped the shifter when in sport) and my car went to red line in first at the strip! I would try it again only not completely at WOT. Whether you are WOT or not in sport mode, the tranny should react the same...

    Dealer wants to do a Decarb Service?

    4DRHTRD is correct... My intake was spotless when I was spraying... You don't need the Livernois expensive kit.. Torrie's basic kit works great for moderate performance gains, and Devils Own, or going direct to Alky Control for their system that Livernois sells is another option. For more...

    Dealer wants to do a Decarb Service?

    There is a 3M kit that is available that you can use to do it yourself. The issue they are talking about is possible carbon on the intake valves. This has happened in other Direct Injection engines, and has been a particularly bad issue in some Audis. What happens is the oil blow by, in your...

    Rear-ended Question on repairs....

    The bumper sensors are looped in a wire loom that ultimately ends in the trunk. If they don't work, it is likely some broken wires. If bumper cover is being replaced, I would insist on new sensors. (I installed that type of system in both my G8's, after having them + the backup camera in...

    Had my cutout redone, super sexy metal work inside....

    I just called Sheriff "JOE" and he said that your cutout is illegal and he is on his way to your house to arrest you!!! LOL!!!! How will you look in pink???? I have looked at pix several times and it really is a work of art! When you move on to bigger and better things... I will look good...

    Pictures of my Flex after Megan coilovers installed

    Looks great! Seems lower than my H & R's. With my 27" everyday tires and H & R's my mid-pipe flanges can drag if driveway dips are excessive. One learns to drive thru them at an angle. The other issue is doors and curbs. Flex doors wrap under the unibody rails and can bump or drag on high...

    Group buy on turbo upgrades

    Explain your goals on hot and cold pipes. As for AWD control options, are you thinking the PCM-TCM can be re-programmed? Won't the rear clutches and other parts of the AWD system need to be replaced with heavier duty ones?

    Ford Flex - 12.4@109 no nitrous just E85 and upgraded turbos

    Agreed! Biggest issue with tranny settings is how much retard you can eliminate without blowing up the tranny. My Flex shifts via Torrie tuning are much crisper than the tranny tune he did for G8. Imagine your torque output could be up to 150 lbs more than mine though. How much PSI are you...

    Megan Coilover installation for 2009-2012 SHO

    Did you previously have either H & R or Eibach lowering springs? If so, how much different is the ride and handling. My ride is considerably stiffer with H & R, but not harsh, and I run 40 lbs or more air in tires. Handling is better than stock G8, even with 60K on Flex. H & R's plus...

    Ford Flex - 12.4@109 no nitrous just E85 and upgraded turbos

    4DRHTRD's slicks are 26" tall. That is 3" shorter than the stock 29" tall 255-45-20". This would mean that he has an adjusted axle ratio of around 3.52, vs the stock 3.16 and 29" diameter tires. Virtually all of the extra weight in the Flex is in the back half of the vehicle, so the weight...

    Considering CAI, any benefit K&N vs. Airaid?

    My IAT sensor in the RotoFab "J" pipe I used for my custom CAI is at least 6" further towards the fender than stock. That may make some difference, though I also added a plastic baffle to keep heat away from Cone Filter and IAT sensor. Have no idea if it causes lower MCT temps, which is the...

    Megan Coilover installation for 2009-2012 SHO

    Did you assist in the install or did your local shop do the installation? If so, how much? Can they be used with the H & R springs I have, or do they replace all that?

    Megan Coilover installation for 2009-2012 SHO

    Nice writeup... How much $???? The only thing I would change on your Flex is the color!!! LOL (and initially we tried to get a black on with a silver top...) got stuck with red/white... hence the "Brick" color and look!
