    2010 SHO brakes

    Stop Tech pads work great on my EB Flex. I also have much lighter wheels/tires which really help stopping. Current article in Road and Track on what new light weight carbon fiber wheels that cut like 40 lbs of unsprung weight off a 911 will do to handling. Cutting unsprung rotating weight...

    Tuner

    You're 71 years young... But I'm a kid... only 67!:thankyou: Andy runs the shop at Livernois. Suppose he is also handling internet sales with Rick having left. I have dealt with him on my 08' G8 early on. Bought a Powerbond underdrive pulley and belt thru him. Belt was wrong one. While...

    Tuner

    That surprises me about Livernois. When I bought their tunes I got them almost immediately... Of course Rick was still handling the Ford stuff then... Not sure if Andy or someone else is now handling the internet sales for Livernois. Torrie @ Unleashed Tuning is the most responsive person I...

    Thinking of buying a 2013 SHO

    We LOVE our EB Flex... While I have 2 G8 GT's, which are KICK ASS.. my second choice in that price range would be a SHO, especially if I was where it snowed. My G8's never see snow.. One is in FL for Oct-May... and other is in IA for May- Oct. Would be SCARY in snow... Buy that SHO... or a...

    Metallic colors - Ruby Red or White Platinum

    I have a Red Candy Flex. It touches up pretty good. If you're good at touch-up it shouldn't be a big deal. The pearl colors are much harder to touch up. Think about 3M or another brand of clear wrap for the front end and behind wheels. Might be a good investment to stop chips.

    Thinking of buying a 2013 SHO

    Often you can negotiate a better deal than X-Plan at this time of the year.

    Ratcheting noise coming from dash at startup

    I am hoping for the same result. I have manuals for my 2010 Flex. I would guess that it too is accessable one of those ways. I first thought it was only happening when I had the "dual T-stat" option on, but today it was making the same sound at startup with single setting option. Drove about...

    PPE & LMS downpipe owners with cats - question for you

    I have Kook's middies with their high flow cats on both of my G8's. Even though they are shorter than long tubes, they throw codes so I had rear sensors turned off in tunes. Know this is also required with American Racing Headers for G8. What I was told is that they & the sensor don't heat up...

    Lawsuit filed against ford over ecoboost problems

    There was a discussion on oil filters elsewhere early in 2010. It was pointed out that there is a bypass valve in them to allow more flow if engine needs it. When this happens varies based on filter design, so after reading the article I decided to stay with EB Motorcraft filters and have had...

    Modified intake manifold almost done!

    I have Hoosier DR's in 17" on my 09' G8 for the strip. They are very light ( 275-40 = 22 lbs) and hook great! Hoosier also offers a 315-35 - 17 which weighs 26 lbs. 275's are 25.7" tall and 315's are 25.6" tall. Both can be mounted on 9"-11" wide rims. If you go with a 245-45-17" Conti...

    PPE & LMS downpipe owners with cats - question for you

    Wouldn't this mean that if you disable the code, that it wouldn't pass emissions testing in those states that have it? I have a set of PPE on order. Once installed I will report.

    Modified intake manifold almost done!

    While I don't have the power of 4DRHTRD's Flex, I found using Nitto DR's on the front really helped. At some point, the front differential and axles won't be able to handle all this torque, let alone expecting the transfer case and rear drive system to work as needed.

    Intake and tune installed, what next?

    You cannot run a 2 bar tune with a 3 bar sensor. The tunes are designed around the sensor information sent to the ECM.

    Ratcheting noise coming from dash at startup

    I remember someone claiming their warranty bill was around $700. This just started when I got up here in IA... Was warm all winter in FL so not sure why this is happening now.

    Ratcheting noise coming from dash at startup

    I am getting a loud ratcheting noise for maybe 2-3 seconds, coming from the center of the dash at start up, and infrequently while driving. Is this the blender door issue that others have experienced? My A/C seems to be working fine. Also switched over to full heat to see if I could...

    Modified intake manifold almost done!

    Isn't there an extra small hole in valley of the 2010 above the right intake runner as shown on your pix?

    SHO and Flex convert to vent to atmosphere with factory blow off valves

    Damn... I wanted to fart.... :thankyou::woo-hoo::sun::sun::sun: (If I could only bottle it... I wouldn't have to buy Methanol!!!) Actually, with Torrie's tunes etc. I was getting a pretty strong PFFFFFT every time I let off the gas!
