PrinzII Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 We had someone get bubbles on practically brand new Cinturato P7s. A trend? Speaking of Pirelli, I almost pulled the trigger on trading these tires in on some Scorpion Verdes. However, the price for upgrading would have been nearly $500. Replacing the Kumho: $25. I am almost inclined to see if I can cop that Bridgestone I am using for a temporary tire as a full sized spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nick, Is it difficult to remove the front like in the photo above . Is it a one person job? And did you post someplace how to do it? I will need to do this to install the new IC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you post someplace how to do it? I will need to do this to install the new IC. I just spent 10 minutes trying to find the post where someone put up instructions on front bumper removal. i know i saw it on this forum. I'd bet it was either snmjim or special k, maybe send them a message and see if their memory (or search bar) is kinder to them than it was to me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 It's not a quick job but its easy enough to do. I did it with simple garage tools when I painted my front façade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the bumper off about 20 times probably, I can have it off in about 30 mins now, probably faster if I was actually being timed. I use the ramps to sit the bumper on and if you have the front camera, be ready to plug the washer fluid line. or bend it and stick it in the frame right near where you splith the lines. you do not have to remove the tires, and do not need to remove all bolts in fender, just the ones on the edge https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8epPWB6ZdvaUlhKQUJpVWQ4d1U/view?usp=sharing Edited February 22, 2018 by Nick Halstead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roots57 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks! I've had my front bumper cover off a couple of times now too, I can show you exactly what to remove next time we meet up if you like. Its fairly easy once you know the sequence. The toughest part is the bolts holding the bumper cover to the fender, only because its a really tight space. I bought a couple of special tools for getting in there, so its easy now. No problem lending them to you, or just helping you. Nick is who I asked for tips for my first attempt, and leaving the middle screw along the top for last is a good tip and it allows you to slowly lower the front end down. That Ford procedure document is pretty good, but Nick is right, I didn't remove the wheel well liners completely either, just the screws towards the front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Installed the LMS 91V3 tune today it has much more power and faster harder shifts than the 91 soft. Like it much better . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still indifferent about my V3 tune. I finally did the custom exhaust on mine though, check out the thread in the 2.7 section! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 well, got the car polished but wasn't able to put the ceramic on it yet. So she will sit in the garage and I will bum rides to work till she is complete. (gosh, facebook kills quality. ( @jnhalstead on instagram ) Wheels are already coated in Gyeon Rim and topped with Gyeon Can Coat. Paint was cut with Griots Garage The Boss G15 DA, Fast Correcting Cream and a Lake Country Foam Wool pad, and polishd with Griots Garage Perfecting Cream and Lake Country orange HDO pad. Cquartz is the ceramic that will be going on and then topped with Gyeon Can Coat. Interior is getting Gyeon Leather Shield and Fabric Coat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikula Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Nick I wish I had the patience or skill to do that kind of stuff. Black vehicles are tough to keep looking amazing, seems you're doing a great job of it. That is a lot of steps on a vehicle this size, but looks well worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Haven't done anything like mods et. al., but getting ready to drive from Dallas to Knoxville on Wed. Changed oil & filter, check/top all fluids, top tire air as needed, normal stuff when going on a trip. I plan to run some Techron on the outbound and inbound trips, and will only run a Top Tier gas on the trip (same as normal.) My wife and I will be driving straight though - about 12 hours with stops, 850 miles. Oh, and I loaded a BUNCH of songs on a USB stick from my listening pleasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a lot of steps on a vehicle this size, but looks well worth it! patience is key, I enjoy detailing though, I usually have a car a weekend to detail or ceramic coat. I have a few things planned for the Edge but being in Hawaii is killing those plans. I've also said screw every other thread on this forum and just post everything in here now. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
