    Transmission Fluid

    Changed from XT-M5-QS to Tribodyn TRI-EX2, and it appears way better to me. Been running the motorcraft for several years and I’d say my trans did not like it. I’m going to need to pull the trans at some point anyway because 2nd gear popping out issues, but it is grinding way less now, when...

    KW Coilover Rear Height Adjustment

    Ah ok thanks guys. So leave the 3 allen bolts and turn the big allen in the perch while there is weight on the car. I was trying to turn it while the rear was lifted on jack stands. derp.

    KW Coilover Rear Height Adjustment

    So this is probably a dumb question. What is the correct way to adjust the KW coilover rear height? Are you supposed to just start cranking away on the middle of the spring seat with the 10mm Allen key? Or should you loosen the 3 5mm bolts around the big one first? I tried doing both and it...

    Where/how to Buy a Focus ST Intake Manifold

    Having trouble finding it, any tips? I'm asking about the actual intake manifold, not the adapter. Damond's site says they don't have any ST intake manifolds available.

    Where/how to Buy a Focus ST Intake Manifold

    Anyone have suggestions on where to buy a Focus ST intake mani? Ebay? Anyone have a part number for it? I searched ebay a bit and lots of listings say "Fits: Focus ST" but then the description says its "Without turbo", so I am guessing that is not the right one. What is a reasonable price to...

    Where is the starter wire

    Don't have a pic but if you can feel the starter from the top of the engine, it's on the left. The wire is just a plastic clip spade connector. I occasionally have to wiggle it to get the starter to fire. It's annoying but it works. It probably just has a little corrosion on it and needs a...

    Eonon head units with silver face (yes!!) for Mazdaspeed3 gen1

    Why silver? Why not glossy black so it matches the OEM color? Edit: just remembered that only the 08.5's and 09's have the glossy black trim. Damn I've had this car too long.

    Noob with 07 MS3 in Central NJ

    Typically the smoke at idle is from a lack of airflow/vacuum off of the valve cover breather port. That port is important to help the engine breath while it is idling, and a lack of airflow through that port will prevent the oil draining from the turbo fast enough, which causes the oil to be...

    Cold pipe options

    Is JBR the only one who sells the cold-side piping separately? I bought HTP's hot-side piping, but I have the CP-e kit right now, where the cold side comes from the other side. I know FJ sells the whole kit, but Jose told me they can't (won't?) sell the cold pipe separately. I suppose I could...

    New intake manifold going on

    Yeah. It wasn't purchased from him though, it was purchased from derek13p for like $600. Its a topmount T3 44mm EWG. Except the fucking compressor housing hits the EWG flange, so it won't even work without the EWG on there, let alone with one. It looked cool, and derek13p said it would fit on a...

    What is Metal Membership and Why would I spend $ on a forum?

    2TB meaning that the connection is metered to allow a total amount of 2TB of network traffic to pass over your "line" per month, not that actual throughput (speed). Similar to how Comcast caps home connections to 250GB in some areas. Cool cool, happy to hear its all under control.

    What is Metal Membership and Why would I spend $ on a forum?

    Thanks for the disclosure. $600/yr seems a little pricey for hosting though. Who is doing the hosting, and is it managed or unmanaged, VPS or shared hosting? I could understand the price if it is actively managed and monitored for malicious activity, and security updates are tracked and patched...
