blumi Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Yeah, since Spring has sprung ;-) and the weather was nice, so we decided to have a meeting at a local fast food-parking lot. And, what can I say, really ALL Ford Edge of our city were there! Yes, BOTH of them! Finally I got the chance to inspect Spacy73's all new 2011 (or is it a 2012???) Edge Sport. Very nice ride you have! Since Spacy73 is a car audio professional, I got the chance to have my home-made audio installation fine-tuned. Thanks man!

exodus Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 This meet sound like a great idea lets see if we can get one going in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Where in Germany? And exodus...that would be a cool idea. I know it is a haul for you but the Subaru site I was involved with used to meet up in Bear Mountain. Some nice roads to drive, a little zoo for the kids as well as boating and hiking for those interested and plenty of picnic areas with grills. So it was a nice day for everyone with plenty of food.

frozennuts Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I had the same meeting for all the Ford Edge Owners here in Rovaniemi, Finland (maybe all of Finland) last weekend and they all turned out. All one of me! Edited March 27, 2012 by frozennuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feirstein Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Any details you can provide on how you got your amber rear turn lights to function properly would be most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozennuts Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hi, I know how to do it but nice test inspectors up here in Finland realise that its not easy and let me off. Only had to fit white park lights to the front, amber turn signals to the sides which I did by installing LED's to the door mirrors a rear fog light and stamp the VIN under the hood. I may one day do the rear lights as I have never liked read rear turn signals and the easiest process is to: 1) Take a feed from the centre rear brake lights to a relay as the control and take power off the relay to the left and right brake connection. 2) Either take a control from the front turn signal to a relay and power off of relay to turn signal and repeat on the other side or take the signal from the control module (left of drivers legs). 3) Finally, connect a 3 ohms resistor is the original turn/brake circuit so that the vehicle diagnostics does not make your lamps flash fast. One other change I made to my vehicle was to purchase a Hypertech max energy power programmer to improve the fuel economy by changing the ignition timing to run on 95 RON. Standard Edge fuel in NA is Regular 87 AKE, the programmer has a program for Premium fuel which is 92 AKE, this is equivalent to 95 RON in Europe. Other benefits of the programmer are that you can ready and clear OBD codes and change other vehicle parameters like the Speed limiter!

frozennuts Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 So I guess a trip up to 66° North is right out of the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
