Ditto...


I finally deleted the pcv vent tube on the front VC and put the k&n breather that Mike recommended on top, also got the oil cap breather from CFM off of ebay that I found mentioned in another thread here.

Serviced my K&N filter and re-oiled it, grabbed my 2000th (exaggeration) pair of rainx wiper blades, and decided on BF sport comp 2s tires to be purchased on my next paycheck.

Installed the heat range colder plugs, 170 thermostat and updated tune.  Dropped my 1/8th mile times from consistent 8.38-8.40 to four 8.26's back-to-back-to-back-to-back.  Can't wait to see what the XV1 will do.

Did my front brakes yesterday, pads and rotors, and wash waxed clay bar today. Cut out the weather stripping in the front of the intake and removed the weather stripping from the back of the engine bay completely.

Lookin' good!  That's an interesting idea, removing the rear weatherstripping from the hood.

Should help to let hot air escape there. I hope that's all it does... Lol

Just ordered new rotors and pads, spark plugs, a set of trunk lift supports, winter floor mats, double sided tape for my keyless entry antenna, and an air freshener (really excited about the air freshener). Hopefully everything arrives by the time i get home next weekend so i can throw on all of the above as well as my winter tires.

I have driven the "hell" out of my Flex.  1,500 mi in 2 days.  RAIN...RAIN...RAIN...  Today from Macon thru Valdosta, GA it was so bad at times drivers were using their flashers and driving 50 mph.  Been years I have driven in rain that hard for that many miles.  Like being in a perpetual car wash!  One time when I was running around 65, the T/C squiggly came on, and before I realized I was sorta skating on a water film...  It was faster than me!!!  Hit other deeper puddles that pull one left or right, but none of those set off the T/C...

What brakes/sparks/etc did you end up going with?

Did the vent-to-atmosphere mod... well sorta

Did the front bov cause its so easy to get to, took a quick drive and while it is louder I'm not sure if its the placebo affect or if its really louder.

I'm aware that if I do the rear it'll be even louder, but its a lot more trouble amd I'm not sure its worth it. May just reconnect the front one and call it good.
The K&N cai is loud enough i guess lol

I'm in the same debacle SHODYOU.

Trying to decide if I want to put my hoses back on (I didn't both).

The problem I have is that it blows off even with little throttle so it sounds funny LOL.

With both it's DEFINITELY louder--I do it in town and it causes people to turn around and look LOL.

I ordered EBC slotted rotors and Redstuff pads, but ended up getting a call back. Apparently they're 2 weeks out on the rotors. I was planning on getting everything installed next week as I want to get off of my summer tires ASAP, so I may end up having them swap out my rotors for stoptech slotted rotors so I can have everything installed in 1 week instead of 3.... Idk.
