Weldfreak Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Hello all, Ill go by weldfreak for now but I Just recently purchased my 2007 edge sel. I'm looking to upgrade a few things here and there. I'm a welder/fabricator and auto tech so it tends to happen. I've built plenty of turbo cars and unfortunately this one is not a turbo car but it's still way more fun then the caliber sxt I had.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Welcome to the forum, weldfreak, congrats on nabbing this nice '10 SEL! There WAS a turbo kit, but it was developed exclusively for SEMA. What kind of things are you looking to mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good2Bking Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Nice color on your new ride. I have a '13 SEL. You're going to love it. Private or dealer purchase? How many miles on the odometer? Looks good. Best of luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldfreak Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 It was purchased used at a local dealer. It's got 119k on it. I've put 1100 of those miles on it. I'm probably going to do fabricate some misc parts for it. I want to build a set of headers for it and bolt on a magnaflow cat back cold air intake and sct tuner. Brakes maybe just some drilled and slotted rotors and a more aggressive pad. Possibly a nice set of lowering springs. I'm in the process of building a trailer for my 91 awd turbo talon so I may try to pull it with this. I've read it'll pull 3500lbs so with my car and trailer I'm hoping to be under that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 If you are going to tow with it you may want to reconsider drilled and slotted rotors. The drill points will cause heat temp differences and cause the rotors to start fracturing at the drill points. Better to go with High carbon steel and ceramic pads of good quality. Then again you may be over weight with this towing combo. Drive safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldfreak Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 My car that I intend to pull is 2200 curb weight and I've stripped probably around 400 lbs out of it and I don't think the trailer I'll be building will weigh much over 500 lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
