I have done multiple oil studies actually on my oil from the STI. The amsoil used still held up its viscosity over 5k miles and that included HPDE track events. All with the turbo blanket installed. I have never experienced oil failure with it.
I’ve ran them on my past two STI as well. On the STI with its large single scroll turbo and top mount intercooler I too have seen a real benefit in quick spool up. Drive a stock shielded one and then a turbo blanket one and there is a definite felt difference. In regards to Coking oils and...
Not even close to the same vehicle as a ranger underneath. They share a platform but the actual frames and suspension is unique. No way a ranger can travel off-road at the same speeds as the bronco. Suspension in the truck is designed to haul stuff. The bronco is set up for max off road...
Well done. It can be tricky measuring with a tape measure and capturing everything. Mechanical engineer here and I sometimes need to break out the tape measure, scale and calipers to reverse engineer something to model up in CAD. It can be laborious.
I had a 2017 Mustang GT350 and after my wife got her 2019 GT I ended up selling the GT350 and moving back into a 2019 Subaru WRX STI. I could not see having two summer cars and two winter cars. I had been tracking cars for seven years and the cost of doing so was adding up. The STI was my...
Dealers have a certain allocation number they are given for MY21. Most dealers have well over their allocation number in reservations so every allocation is already spoken for with a reservation unless they get a bunch of people who don’t lock in their reservation. I was seeing Ford is expecting...
You wont even need your own 3D printer. Just the model. You can get the printing done outsourced. I even see 3D printers available at the UPS store near me. I’m a mechanical engineer and I already have Solidworks for 3D design. Once I have the Bronco I can work up some design ideas.
My AR will just be in its case. I am trying to sort out what I will do for a nice quick access mount for my full frame sig scorpion 1911 though:). I have a magnetic mount but I’m thinking to do something more rigid for when I am off road and bouncing around.
We had the Ford performance pack tune on my wife’s old 2017 Ford Mustang eco boost which has the 2.3. That gave it a nice healthy bump that didn’t hurt the warranty. I’m looking for similar from Ford for the 2.7
I’m getting a 4dr wildtrak lux package with leather seats for mine. We are getting a second 2dr base bronco, the only adder being an auto for my wife to use as a winter vehicle to replace her ecosport we are currently leasing. This second one we intended To be a late 22my build. We recently...
Badlands with Sasquatch is same height as wildtrak which comes with it. You can also still get the rack on the 2dr versions so nothing to do with height.
It does suck but moving on to the modular instead. My bet is we get to 50 pages about how bad it is and everyone is canceling their reservations over it by morning though.
