  1. I went for it and bought the 6k last night. I will let you know how they look in comparison to the signature lights in the bumper. They offer free returns including return shipping so I really figured why not.
  2. Anyone running the HID setup from drivebright on their 2015+ Edge? I hear good things about the previous model year, but haven't found much info for those that have them on the gen 2 edge. I'm probably going to pick up a set. I don't do much night driving, and I never have them set on "auto", but I'm hoping the 6k drivebright will be closer to the white color of the signature lights rather than the current halogen "yellow" Edit: I purchased the 6000k from daytime bright lights aka drivebright and they are a great match. check out my installation thread here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/24271-how-to-hid-headlight-installation-from-drive-bright/
  3. Are you running unleased or LMS?
  4. Do you have a way of doing some performance tests with before and after intercooler? I really am thinking about one, but I need to see some substantial gains in power. I know you're not much of a 1/4 mile guy, but maybe make some 0-60 or 0-80 pulls before and after and post what kind of results you see. All I see so far is people talking about temperature differences, which of course equates to more power, but i'm looking for real numbers, not temps. hopefully you can do this before you strap on those oversize hairdryers you bought!
  5. $95 for me to take mine to a local shop and get 3 dyno pulls. no a/f or anything, just to see performance. I was pretty disappointed with your dyno results and I really want to see how close I am to LMS numbers from their claims.
  6. I still have not experienced this "understeer" a few other users talked about. My only experience with ripping corners in the edge, and the back end of this thing came around and i left a hershey's kiss in my underwear. in my experience.. this car will oversteer.. but I will never test that theory a second time!
  7. This just made me realize that I can score some of those and actually buy the rims I like, and just adjust the offset. Why I never thought of that, I have no idea.
  8. Yep. I'm an idiot. You mean the thread where i posted literally 2 posts down from that info... Some of us need a good kick in the ass, or maybe better glasses. I even did a search on here beforehand. wasn't using the right words I guess.
  9. Anyone know the proper way to install a thermostat on a g2 2016 ford edge sport 2.7 I just got my 160* tstat from Livernois and wasn't sure if its as simple as pop one out, pop one in, like back in the day. Newer engines always have me scratching my head when I try doing simple tasks
  10. it is officially symmetrical across the front. thank god! maybe even 2-3 degrees cooler as well!
  11. From the album: Exhaust

    intercooler grill
  12. I think we are now discussing 2 different points. You had said but they don't have the same mods, nor are they driving it the same way you're driving yours. that was my point. I followed by saying half of us should be in the 12's if we were lucky enough to have the same weather you were having. should have stated "with the same mods" being the caveat.
  13. I actually saw a guy on 1320video do something similar to this with his subaru, and actually had good results.
  14. as i stated, turbos are finicky with weather and temp. you have a weight advantage with your aftermarket wheels, as well as thermostat, and other mods to help you run consistent. You definitely have the Unicorn edge sport out of the group, but don't discredit the amount each mod you've done has affected your times compared to others. It has also been admitted that you were the only one launching from full throttle, was it not?
  15. Those look great, but output would be pointing into other lanes of traffic. I'd prefer something not as bright, so it doesn't act as a fog light, or off road light, just more of a "here I am" light, similar to the OEM set-up, but less ugly (hopefully)
  16. Keep in mind, his DA's at race time are wayyy less than what this calculates for. its a 13 second vehicle at sea level. also, those calculators generally are not accurate with anything but n/a vehicles. twin turbos THRIVE on the cool dense air. 50% of us would be into the 12's running -1500da at 45 degrees outside with AWD If you don't believe me, use the calculator with 1/8 mile times and see the difference. It just does not do well at those calculations. They're just a silly tool that gets you in the ballpark.
  17. So, I really don't love the look of the "triangle" lights on the bumper of the gen 2 edge. I'd rather have the straight style like on the gen 1 edge. I'm thinking of blacking out the triangle lights, and fitting the gen 1 lights into the slots horizontally underneath the current triangle drl's. anyone have dimensions of those lights, so I can begin trying to sort out what lights I may be able to buy, and just swap out connectors and rewire? Notice the horizontal slots underneath the current lights. They are just a plastic removable bezel, and I think I can most likely cut to fit something else in there. even something as cheap as this may work https://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-Universal-Daytime-Running-Lights/dp/B00HCSBQ7Y anyone have dimensions or other thoughts? Also, does anyone know the watts/amperage of the stock lights so I can get something that is a close match to factory my secondary reasoning is because I'm in the process of building a cold air intake, and one of the best places to locate it seems to be exactly where the current DRL is located on the driver side. lots of room for me to build some tubing to get air directly into the air box.
  18. You're not kidding there! The unfinished projects in my garage can attest to that. However.... I tend to look at Dough vs Go and that's a lot of dough, for a little bit of go. But in a situation such as yours, you can bet your buns I'd be buying one of those. Keep kicking those ferrari's around at the snake!
  19. Just saw the price of that throttle body.. YOW!
  20. any information on if this would do anything for the rest of us with just a tune? I can't imagine we're not getting enough fuel into these engines. Getting more air (and cooler air) seems to be the biggest issue.
  21. if you have the ice, you need the cream. Am I reading this right?
  22. Does "if it's too loud, you're too old" still apply?
