What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Just had a brutal shift into second with some really bad wheel spin. Did not feel good hah.

Let's see how long this half shaft will last.

Got the puddle lights swapped out with the LED ones.  Looks sweet!!  I'll post up some pics later, just wanted to get get back in the house.  Definitely not a 5 minute project, at least on my car.  Had to use two screw drivers to get the dang things out.

Now I need to get the interior and trunk swapped over to LEDs.  Soooo much better than yellow light!

"Resistance is futile", PM says!  I didn't think I could get used to white-light LEDs, having lived with incandescents for so long.  But it IS nice!

Needed new pads on the front so I decided to paint the calipers and caliper mount. Thinking I should have went gray to match car and have them stand out a bit more.

I sand blasted and then clear coated my pads so they would look like a nice buff grey.

What kind of pads are most of you using? I'm thinking either hawk HPS, or Carbotech AX6.. any suggestions?

Just pumped 9 gallons of e65 in my car with a little hand pump, in a truck stop parking lot.... Fiancée was right there helping me....  So amazing.

So she's enabling your alcohol addiction?

Outstanding!

Thinking about pulling it out of the garage. It's been tucked away for nearly two weeks. I'm a TERRIBLE SHOwner

Just some brake best ceramic, best ones at local store here...old pads were causing a shake while braking at high speeds. Had rotors turned 3 weeks ago and the pads were at least 75% still and they suggested (stealership) leaving pads on (of course). Gave them some break in time and still performed horrible at high speeds. Bought these to hopefully cure the problem for now with upgraded system in the future. The list keeps groing.

I want a more abrasive pad with a better fade resistance. Most of the higher end pads are a big step up from oem.

Has anyone here done a rolling brake boost? Say you are in sport mode with it in 2nd gear rolling at 40 ish then apply brake pressure to spool turbos? 
I tried it once and it just cut power but another time it worked.

I was tired of that taurus sign on the trunk and removed it,was a little pain to remove it without scratching the vehicle,put a little wax after.

[wasinger3000]

Freshly paved road in Mexico...  can't wait to try it out.

Looks good zsho.  Dental floss or fishing line works very well for removing badges without damaging paint.
