So in doing a little research and talking with a very knowledgeable member of another forum, it seems that it may be possible to convert the batch fire ECU zetec to a true sequential fuel injector firing system with very little effort. Also it should be possible to convert to sequential ignition and run the COP conversions as they are intended to b...

While driving I hear clicking noises from the fuse panel, and my battery light comes on at high speeds. Take my foot off the accelerator and it goes off. Also, the lights flicker. I've have the a...

Not freaking out yet, as I know a certain amount of oil will be used during "break-in" miles.

The car is driving me crazy, went to leave sunday, cranked the car and it is surging and then dies. Today I replaced the plugs and wires based upon research on the forum and same issue remains. If I start the car cold it will sound fine in the warm up cycle then once it settles down to normal idle rpm it surges and eventually dies. If I turn on the...

So I absolutely love my SE hatch, but the pitting on the side mirrors have started to annoy me. Does anyone know of a site with chrome covers for the side mirrors or another suggestion? I hate just doing touch up paint and every one of my cars has had black plastic up until now so I have never had to deal with the paint chip before

Hey guys, I have a Turbonetics t3 Super 60 ball bearing turbo. I took my turbo setup off my car to get the manifold and down pipe ceramic coated. It was not easy to wrestle out of my car, so I thought that while it was off I would get my turbo rebuilt. It has 20,000 miles on it. I called turbonetics first, but they wanted $100 just to look at...

I would rather have my radio controls on the left side of the steering wheel, and the display control buttons on the right.
Has anyone had the airbag cover off, and looked to see if switching these controls to the other side is possible?

Does anyone else feel like they got a bad paint job from Ford. My 2012 SE red candy has 800 miles on it and its got 3 or 4 knicks in the paint. I drive 90% city so its not like I'm following rock trucks around. I know I have a low deductible from insurance but at this point after one month of owning it, I feel like I would be shelling out 100&#...

If all goes well, Ill be picking up a new hatch tomorrow but, I was wondering if anyone has reflashed the TCU yet. I like the car but, would like faster shifts both up and down instead of having the delay between gears.
