    Engine Failure @ 2k miles - Resolved

    Sorry for your experience. I did notice from your picture there is an aftermarket exhaust on your vehicle. You stated "stock" and you purchased it with 2000 miles. Were any mods done previously to your ownership? A transmission cooler leak will not cause the valve to piston collision. I hope it...

    Whipple Install

    As far as projects go it was not very difficult just time consuming labeling and bagging parts etc. Nothing like changing the clutch and flywheel in my Lotus! If your future plans are just daily driving normally with the occasional sprint it is probably not worth the cost and time. If however...

    Whipple intercooler

    Interestingly enough I searched the original intercooler part and it appears it is used for the 2.3 L turbo. No way it is adequate for a 3.0 L twin turbo.

    Cold engine, loud "tick" - Turbo rattle?

    I have a similar rattle sound at cold startup. Not really load but there. Now I have the entire Thermal downpipe back exhaust and it is not emanating from there. I think (not 100%) it is like the the old chokes from my generation where the engine will run rich at initial startup and then...

    Just installed a Whipple intercooler.

    If anyone is confused by the youtube video or the instructions. The fender to front cowl (whole front end) bolts are located looking toward front of vehicle at the top when you pull back fender liner. Pull back fender liner by removing small plastic push pin retainers on the top by outer fender...

    Just installed a Whipple intercooler.

    I did not. The 2 attachment point with the protrusions of the steel subframe I could access with 2 Dzuz fasteners which I had in my spare parts bin. The other 3 I just used plastic push retainers like those that are on the fender liner. Really the aluminum crash bar with it's 8, 13mm bolts holds...

    Just installed a Whipple intercooler.

    I posted this in another whipple install thread but figured I would put it here as well. OK Whipple is installed on my 2021! On mine the active shutter assembly was riveted on the bottom 5 areas where there were bolts on the 2020.That was the biggest PITA as I had to drill them out and put in...

    Whipple Install

    OK Whipple is installed on my 2021! On mine the active shutter assembly was riveted on the bottom 5 areas where there were bolts on the 2020.That was the biggest PITA as I had to drill them out and put in dzus fasteners/ new push fasteners. Mine also did not have a washer house for front camera...

    Stock Exhaust Failure/Looking for upgrade

    I have zero drone on my Thermal system but if you are towing a 4000 lbs trailer you may use more throttle which will in turn make it a bit louder at highway speeds. I am not sure. I can tell you the welds on the stock system suck and are not continuous around the pipes. The construction and...

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    So sorry to hear about polished tips as I feel that is what really stands out. But then I am old school. Mid pipes are a must!

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    LOL I had a 90 Eclipse gsx with so many modes I can't remember but damn it was quick as anything! Embarrassed everyone with consistent back to back low 11's. Then I got the Lotus and started road racing. So much more fun!. Got a 2013 Focus ST which I did nominal mods to but gave that to my...

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    Choose whatever sounds best for you! Every ear hears differently. I suggest searching other forums as well as big ticket items are a hard choice. If ever in Palm beach FL you can drive and listen to my Thermal. Tommy

    HP Tuners Track Addict

    Works great for road course tracks. Actually SCCA only uses it for time trials now. I have never tried it for anything other than lap times.

    CV Boots

    That is very strange. Did the clamp break or is the actual boot split?
