Wow, I thought the boat from China was slow!  What wheels are you getting?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Cleaned the car yesterday, figured I would check the air in the spare, it was 20PSI, supposed to be 60. For those of you that have one, make sure you check yours. The dealer doesn't do it for you when you take it in for you oil change services.

4Dr Mike and I finally met up at his Dyno shop!!!! FULL RACE Engineering - Phoenix, AZ.  He gave me a ride in his Dragon Wagon... Minor problem... wet seat issues, and he had to drive around for a few minutes to get my color back from PANIC WHITE!!!  Great Guy!  We are privileged to have him as our forum owner!
