Hello, everyone. I've been lurking a while, but I thought I'd say Hi. I bought a 2015 Explorer Sport back in April (on my 44th birthday, sort of a midlife crisis present to myself). Back in my younger days, I did have 2 Taurus SHOs, a black '89 MT (http://s902.photobucket.com/user/hawkeye93/media/1989%20Ford%20Taurus%20SHO/89%20SHO_zpsnecfiuah.jpg.html), followed by a blue '93 AT (http://s902.photobucket.com/user/hawkeye93/media/1993%20Ford%20Taurus%20SHO/93%20SHO_zpsxawivbx0.jpg.html). I did belong to a local SHO club back then.
My ExSport is White Platinum Tricoat, almost all options, and so far I've added a 3 bar MAP sensor, new NGK plugs, Reische 170 thermostat, sharkfin antenna, black Gorilla wheel locks, and tunes from both Unleashed and Livernois. Next up: PPE downpipes & Snow Stage 3. I also bought an MDesign CAI, but I've since removed it.
Anyway, hello to everyone, and if you're ever near Lakeville, MN, give me a holler.
Scott
Welcome hawkeye93!!!
Good choice with e-sport
Since you have tunes from both of the more popular tuners, what are your impressions of the two ?
Welcome to the forum from the crew here at Livernois Motorsports!
Congrats on the very nice birthday present, sounds like a nice ride for sure. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and thank you for your business!
Welcome aboard the E.B.P.F partner,please post some pic's of the new ride and any questions you may have always feel free to ask. Z :hi: :WELCOME:
As far as the tunes, I was running my initial Unleashed tunes for several months, and I recently had Torrie update my 91 octane tune after I datalogged. What he sent back was a big improvement. A couple of weeks ago, I had some poker winnings burning a hole in my pocket, so I decided to give Livernois a try. I have to say, what I got from them was very exciting. Out of the box, Livernois was decidedly more impressive, but my refined tune from Unleashed is just about the same. At the moment, I'm running LME 93 Perf v3.

Mmmm......Being a current unleashed customer this is intriguing....and has peaked my interest.
Welcome to the community, hawkeye93, from a former twin *green) SHO owner :) Glad to have you & your '15 XSport here. Put up some pics of your MLC acquisition when you get a chance!
Only pic of my ExSport so far, from the day I bought it.
