  1. I just checked the rear center headrest on my SEL, and it is one piece (sides are adjustable, center is not). I do not know if the Limited is set up differently for the center headrest. Sorry
  2. I think Dingo means the factory harness plug where you attach the HID wiring for the lamps.
  3. Very cool. Good to know those ole time techniques still do the job Shoutout to autom8r, Edgieguy and Richy!
  4. May want to check if the caliper is compromised in any way, a la the dust boots or stuck slider pins. Also the brake fluid may need flushing/changing out after the vehicle sitting that long. Probably cost the same to turn rotors as to get new ones, but definitely check the calipers and brake fluid first.
  5. Got a major problem area addressed right off the bat! Got to like that.
  6. Like Mark said, I'd still contact the seller to find out the hub bore. Better safe than sorry
  7. Per this site here, seems a viable offset version IS available. So either look for that offset up for auction, or email the seller for options? Specs for wheels discussed in this post: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11738-compatible-for-rims/?do=findComment&comment=89413
  8. Per the calculator on miata.net, here is the comparo: Tire Size Comparison Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference245/60-18 5.8in 14.8in 29.6in 92.9in 682 0.0%235/65-18 6.0in 15.0in 30.0in 94.3in 672 1.5% Doesn't look like you need a recalibration. Notes from 1010tire.com Tire Calculator Notes:Tire diameter can vary slightly for each tire model. The listed diameters are from calculations based on the tire size. When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter/height of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure. This tire calculator is for information purposes only and we do not guarantee fitment based on this calculator alone.
  9. Taking your time and doing it right ... only way to go. Looks sharp!
  10. Welcome to the Edge community, glad to have you here! Sounds like you got a deal. I drive all the time in my FWD car (all season tires to boot!) thru all kinds of weather conditions, varying HOW I drive as needed, has worked pretty well over the years. Granted, I rarely drive through 3 foot snowdrifts Anxiously awaiting pics of your new pride & joy when you can post 'em.
  11. I am used to working on cars, so accessing the roof area of larger vehicles for cleaning/waxing is kind of a mystery to me. It has been suggested to get a work platform from Home Depot/Lowes/Amazon. I was wondering how you do it. Definitely do not want to stand in the open doorway
  12. Looks very nice. How did you manage the roof?
  13. and Welcome to the forum. Hopefully won't have to test the AWD on mine, but good to know it's there
  14. There are aftermaket halogen projector headlights available for '07-'10 models as well. I think a couple of people on here have installed them for use with HID with success.
  15. Thanks for posting that link! I know many people have been looking for examples of turbo'd/SC'd engines for the Edge. Most of the black emblems I have seen are overlays, and you can get them custom made/machined also (much less frequent, as expensive!). There are how-tos on the 'net on taking your emblem apart, painting the inside, and putting it back together, a bit messy tho.
  16. Aside from trying to turbo/supercharge the engine (only 1 thread so far on that, and it's still debated hotly), you can cool the incoming air further than possible with the CAI alone. Either run an intercooler setup, or add methanol injection (all theoretical on this vehicle/engine). Not sure how cost effective that would be, but just a thought.
