Ford's infotainment systems are just garbage. My girlfriend runs a rental car agency branch and gets to pick what she drives home every night. Out of every manufacturer, Ford easily has the worst system to use with Carplay. Specifically Lincolns for some reason.

That Integra sounds fun!

9000 rpm shifts through a slick 5 speed is a great feeling!

Old member here. Still have my Edge and Mustang but have picked up two older Hondas in the past 3.5 years. One is a 1992 Civic EX Sedan (fully-loaded grandma spec, big engine and auto trans) and the other is a Japanese market 1996 spec Integra Type R (if Honda made a GT350 in the 90s). I cannot utter enough praises for these old things. Honda's engineering in the 1980s and 1990s was incredible. Only thing they could have done better is paint their vehicles with something that won't burn off if you look at it funny.

How many more of us original owners/original family owners exist here? I haven't logged in here in years. My 07 SEL+ AWD (purchased new by dad in 07) sat for quite a few years with minimal driving/occasional idling. I have started driving it more (specifically in the winter). It has ~165,000 miles and decent undercarriage rust. Original PTU, water pump, etc. This thing has been driven like a NASCAR since 2007. High speed highway runs and lots of plowing through deep snow / powersliding. Just replaced LR wheel speed sensor, checked/added fresh PTU fluid, replaced flex pipe. Now getting a very definitive BANGING sound at 10-30 mph. I feel it through the center console/floor. Hoping it's just a trans mount and not a PTU issue or carrier bearing.

07 Edge 3.5L AWD 127k miles

When I have the Edge parked on an incline and shift out of park, the load dissipates and a loud "clunk" is heard as usual when reverse engages. However, this clunk continues to reverberate sometimes until i move off of the incline. It's almost like a tinny rattling sound, like something is bouncing around the front end of the vehicle once the transmission is in gear. The transmission also makes a strange sound in reverse, like a very quiet ticking when backing up an incline.

I don't know if any of you remember the SEL AWD PLUS trim level, but that's what our 07 Edge is. Ford replaced it with the Limited shortly thereafter. Has basically every option available minus the nav system and moonroof. Has the DVD player in the back, climate control/heated seats, came with chrome-plated 18 inch wheels, no tow package, and of course AWD. I believe it has the 3.39 final drive, but I have to double check the axle code

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone wants to meet up in Northern New Jersey to cruise around and get some chow at the Chatterbox drive in, possibly on the night of a car show.

Phil, I'll have some pictures for you by tomorrow!

 

They do happen to come with pads. As long as stopping power is equal to stock it's not an issue with me. It's more about the look.

 

Good info. Definitely wouldn't want to feel the slots through the pedal/wheel. I had them on a previous car and didn't have any issue. I'll likely take my chances.

 

 

 

 

Phil, we have powerstop slotted/cross-drilled on our 2007 Edge. They work AMAZING in conjunction with a set of ceramic brake pads. Only warning is that the rotors are zinc-coated to keep a nice silver finish for around a year. After a year, some surface rust starts to show on the vents/hub. This can be coated with High-Heat paint by Rustoleum. I would highly recommend the rotors/pads though!

 

Awesome. Do you have any pics of them on your vehicle. I skimmed through some of your pictures and didn't happen to notice any. Thanks

 

Hey guys, I'm just wondering what the best way is to clean the entire engine bay without damaging any electrical components. The valve covers have a coating of salt/corrosion(??) that I would like to remove, too. Any tips?

I don't believe he is, although he can be found on his Youtube channel. He has videos of him racing (and beating) a Lancer GTS at the drag strip, and a few walkaround videos/exhaust videos of his car.

I posted this in Classifieds, but just want to get a bigger audience. Anyone interested in a set of 4 factory 18 inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels off a 2007 Edge SEL+ AWD? They're in great condition, and come with 235wide Hankook Ventus AS tires with 15k miles. I'm located in the tri-state PA/NY/NJ area. Anyone interested?

NOTE: The wheels are dirty right now (as seen in the one picture) but clean up very nicely as evidenced in the other photos. Also, they come equipped with the TPMS and do not have center caps.

Hi! Here's a pic of Chadrippy's 07 Edge that has the lowering springs.

Also, while you're at it, pick up replacement shocks. Rather safe than sorry, and both of our rears have gone already between 95-98k miles

I'm interested in the caliper covers! How much?

You have the plastic piece that houses the cupholders in the center console? How about the shifter/shifter assembly?

Hi guys, I'm looking to sell my set of factory OEM wheels off a 2007 SEL+ AWD. They are the 10 spoke wheels on 235/60 R18 Hankook Ventus AS ALL SEASON tires with roughly 15k miles on them. They are equipped with tire pressure monitors, too. These are the factory wheels, and have gone through two/three sets of wheels. The wheels themselves are in great condition, however they are dirty at the moment due to the winter roads. I'm willing to sell these for 750, OBO. I'm buying a new set of wheels and tires for the car and I need to sell these to help cover the cost. I'm located in Milford, PA, willing to meet anyone in the tri-state area. Shoot me a text at 570-687-7750 or email me at Tom.Spillane.USA@gmail.com. PLEASE NOTE: The wheels/tires are still on the vehicle, I will be taking them off as soon as I have a buyer. Thanks.

Thanks!!

I don't have any experience with wiring, so I need to learn haha. I don't want to be the douche on the road blinding everyone, so I'll remember that. Thanks man!

Alright, thanks! When my brother comes up to visit, I'll have him help me out.

I skipped the clay for now, picked up some Meguiars stuff.

I'll give it a try! Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm going to be washing and detailing the 07 Blazing Copper tomorrow after I march in a Memorial Day Parade and put the summer tires on.

I've saved up some money to buy some good products. I need some recommendations for the following things:

Leather Seat Cleaner/Protector

Trim Restorer/Paint

Something to clean the front plastic chrome grille?

Clay Bar

Thanks!

Looks great! Going to do mine tomorrow after the 20"s get put on...

Blazing Copper Metallic! It was the color promoted by Ford in all of their adverts. Also, it was featured in Jeter's commercials "He's got an Edge."

Hey guys, I have two boxes of these http://retro-solutions.net/product-info.php?55W_DIGITAL_HID_KIT-pid664.html in our garage. One for the Headlights and one for the Foglights. Does anybody know if they are good/reliable? Just want to make sure before they get installed (They were a gift)

I took a look at the other thread LMFAO. Sorry
