We love all cars and want to convey that love to our viewers! From a Focus RS, Focus ST, Fiesta ST to a Fiat Abarth, VW Golf, 87 caprice, to some cool truck mods we’ve got it all.
This just happened to me and my friggin´ heart stopped. For what it´s worth, I first threw in a gob of wax from a chapstick into the hole. This way if any shavings are generated they will stick in the threaded ID and not fall into the cylinder. I then took a large flat head screwdriver and knife-edged both sides to engage counter-clockwise. I applied light pressure so the edges would dig in and it came out easily. In the event anything worked its way into the cylinder I connected a plastic tube to my vacuum cleaner and snaked it into the cylinder (after removing the broken threads of course) and rotated to engine a smidge to ensure valves were open. This way the vacuum would create turbulence and flow that would hopefully suck up any potential material that worked it´s way in. After a few minutes of this I added a new spark plug and tested the bike. Everything looks good, fingers crossed. Good luck guys.
Saw future videos....can Confirm on the tape lol "Wow even I lied about the tape" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Temp fix = Perm Fix Lyfe!! (My Universal CV Axle boot is still superglued to my axle.....I get it !) Tks for the vid guys! Also: Rain concerns?
Honestly to haven’t even thought about it. I’d say your butt is the same height but the recaros push your thighs up a lot higher than the standard seats
Hey man so I changed the Solenoid and I’m still getting varied and extended crank times. Is that the issue you were having as well? Just trying to troubleshoot.
I got my windscreen replaced and I'm pretty sure the guy who did it put them on backwards after watching this video. Would I need to recalibrate etc or just swap them out? Appreciate the video its been driving my crazy
You should be able to just swap them. I usually have dust marks from when I removed them, but if you eyeball it, worst case you’ll just have to remove them and place them higher or lower at the bottom of the windshield. Doesn’t take too long
Dude, thanks! Thought Safelite guy was incompetent after changing my windshield out... But I see he just had swapped them. Same issue here, going to fix now, thanks!
Yeah definitely, these give it a more “premium” feel to it. By the way your video was much more clearer with the instructions than the instructions given with the struts. Truly appreciate it!
Yessir, I’m 5 foot 8 and fat and had no issue getting to the filter or drain plug. I put a paper towel roll under my head so my neck doesn’t hurt too haha
Hey man doing the same swap at the moment. Without the sound synposer system in the regular ST motors. What did you do to the vacuum recirc that comes from the BOV?
So I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re referring to. 1. I did remove the sound symposer entirely and capped it at the firewall 2. I ran true boost reference from the intake manifold and routed it to the bov and used a defeat plug to trick the computer into thinking it was still plugged in. I never liked how aftermarket bov worked with the electronic control. I don’t remember having recirc just vent to atmosphere
Did you buy a new shifter mechanism cause you wanted a new one or did this fix only work temporarily till it broke? Ive got a 2014 still have yet to look at it
I did because it wasn’t too expensive and I figured if it was worn out from previous abuse, I would rather go in there to fix everything once. You could definitely epoxy the piece back on for cheap, but if you can find a shifter mechanism for cheap it’s not that hard and definitely worth doing
Thanks so much! I just bought a used Acadia and freaked out when all the chimes started up with Stabilitrack and traction control. $20 at O'Reillys and about 10 minutes later, no chimes. Most appreciated!
@@columbiariverdetailing1943 could be, but mine was dripping between the motor and trans and running down the seal, or it might not have seated properly on reinstallation
@columbiariverdetailing1943 not too gently. I just made sure to use a rubber mallet and to take my time, but that said it only going in so far. I noted what the old ones looked like. If you use a regular hammer you’ll just mess up the new bearing
@xOGKuSh I know it’s weird for me too haha. Luckily amsoil covers almost every factory oil spec in existence. Filters, crush washers, and torque specs are good to keep for evidence of they ever argue on warranty stuff
I’m having this issue, but it’s also caused my AC to go out… I can’t get that cable to stretch over to a new fuse, also nothing seems to be blown either. Any ideas?
If fuses are good I’d be chasing grounds next which isn’t easy. Typically if I get too far down the rabbit hole I spend the money having a shop do electrical work instead of spending two weeks chasing it haha
Hey just to clarify, the ez tap is reverse threaded so you use hand tools to back that in counter clockwise. Then do you keep going counter clockwise to back out the spark plug threads? Then you said you used those needle nose pliers to pull it out once you’ve got it completely out of the threads and free.
Looking at the car from the front tight side strut always hots the computer lifts the hood very slightly i just used one works perfect i also have the front brace so only vould use 1
Strange mine doesn’t touch anything - I even put a paper towel down with some grease on it and nothing touched. Honestly one strut is probably enough to hold it up true.
I pulled the axle to replace the transmission and put all the old stuff back together. Ran it for another 20k miles without an issue. They may come with new axles but ask the parts shop
@@gapperformanceI ask because I just did the wheel hub with bearings and did not put the spacer back in since the rubber coated side was tore up. Haven't had an issue
Your install video was certainly helpful! Did you have JST tune your S280? If so, how much did you make? Both on stock fuel system and if you upgraded. Thanks!
I did have JST, never made it to the dyno but you’ll laugh uncontrollably every time you floor it. I’ve since switched to Tuneplus. Thanks for the nice comment and please help us back with the sub!
10/10 recommend. Absolute joy to drive, but I’m at 550 miles, 50 more and I can send it and I’ll start throwing more content up. Subscribe and catch the new stuff! If you get one hit me up and join our MN local group
Awesome glad to hear it! Drop me the sub so I can figure it out all the solutions ahead of time for you. And so you can let me know what cool stuff you figure out with it
