    My FRPP Recaro's just came in...

    This is one of the few repairs that don't require new Ford parts to get a new result. Unless yr cash is burning a hole in yr pocket I'd repair yr existing Recaro foam. Upholstery shops repair foam with scrap pieces of foam, 3m flexible upholstery glue and an electric carving knife. I've seen...

    LOL First speak to a good ford service guy and see what he says. Maybe it's only a service charge.

    My FRPP Recaro's just came in...

    Yes in my experience. When I was doing research before I did mine I read some posts where they said it only had to be the same year seat. Based on that I went out and got a seat from a crashed same year gt. I even checked the part number tag on the seat and it was build same year and within...

    You need to use yr stock bladder from yr og seats not an used one as it has a chip with a code that needs to match with the sensor and the computer.

    Looks great! You can swap a passenger power track for the pas Recaro if you want too. I hope you swapped over the power lumbar for the drivers as it pops right in. Happy it all worked out!

    Tuner Recommendations

    I would definitely avoid LUND. I've had lots of problems with them not wanting to make basic adjustments every other tuner makes with no problem - stuff like shift rpm and firmness. They waste your time with countless emails - seemingly to wear you out and get you to go away. They've actually...

    My FRPP Recaro's just came in...

    So I did it to 14 Recaros into a 13GT w/401A and I added power and driver lumbar too. I can speak for that process but s550 may be different. To dismantle the seats you need to get a upholstery kit from Amazon ($20). Disassembly is not difficult if yr handy but you will definitely want to...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    Thanks for that info Decipha - you've cleared this confusion up nicely!

    My FRPP Recaro's just came in...

    So I solved the problem by moving the original pas OCS over to the Recaros. It seems there are serial numbers in the OCS, the Passenger Restraint Module and the ECM that need to match making swaps without changing all three or flashing impossible. Then again, some post they have swapped...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    Yes I did. They tune and have a dyno but they didn't see the need to data log my car - but they did drive it for 5 mins with a scan for the O2 readiness. Instead they suggested I start changing parts beginning with the upper and lower O2 sensors, then the cats. A tech there told me of a...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    Thanks for what you could provide. It's helpful. I hope no one interprets my question as besmirching the unnamed tuner or any other tuner that needs the ECU - I simply didn't know enough to evaluate the request on my own so I started this thread. Seems like it's a legit request for...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    SOLVED! In any event, I solved my 02/H02 problem myself. I will post on my original thread for others who have this problem in the future. The bottom line is endlessly repeating the Ford Drive Cycle is not the solution - it's contributing to the problem. To clarify - the issue is that in...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    That's very interesting thanks for commenting. Could you expand on your experience with him? How does tuning on a "binary level" have advantages over making changes on a tune level? Sounds like @decipha is a reputable tuner and doing the same level tuning as the tuner I found. I don't...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    Yea thanks for the referral - he's obviously well respected. I just hate the idea of using a tuners time after I spend $$$ with a competitor tuner who blows me off. Maybe I can paypal him for a consult.

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    LUND was of ZERO help. I get they can’t be free first-call tech to every customer who has a mechanical question. I tried every avenue before contacting them. I explained I went to two separate local mustang tuners to no avail. Then I went back to 100% stock. Then put on 1k miles and more...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    Yes, of course. The tuner got vague and wouldn’t expand beyond that he “needs to flash it directly.” I didn’t want to press him further on an emissions fix issue as I know many tuners are paranoid about being approached by EPA feds. I cant build a rapport with him over the phone bc he, like...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    This tuner I found is with a reputable shop down South. I don't want to name him but he's written A LOT about Coyote tuning - very technical stuff - and he specializes with Fords. But I'm no expert with tuning so it's hard for me to evaluate his writings - but he really seems to know his...

    Why would a remote tuner need my 13 GT ECU shipped to him to "flash it directly"?

    I have a problem with my 02 Sensors not getting ready with my stock 14 GT w/ GT500 mufflers. I found a remote tuner who seems legit and he says he can fix the problem. He insists I need to run his tune to do some logs, but then send him my ECU so he can "flash it directly". Does this make...

    Anyone know if 13/14 Convertible seats fit & work in 13/14 coups?

    I need a drivers seat for my 13 GT. Found one from a 14 convertible. In another thread "mdean" said he had a problem with a passenger seat from a convertible matching electronically with the coupe. https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/airbag-light-question.1184413/ Mdean is out of pocket...

    Can you have two sets of interchangeable front seats that don’t trigger the airbag lights?

    Yes thanks. There is a yellow airbag connector and a grey connector for the power, heating and OSCM connections. It's not a connection compatibility issue or a wiring issue - it's a programing issue between the OSCM and the car, presumably the Restraints Control Module.

    Can you have two sets of interchangeable front seats that don’t trigger the airbag lights?

    Yes every time I swapped seats I disconnected the battery first for 10 mins. I dont think it's a fuse issue because the problem resolves itself immediately when I put the stock seat back in.

    Can you have two sets of interchangeable front seats that don’t trigger the airbag lights?

    The removal of an integrated stock initialized OSCM sensor, or the whole passenger seat, does not trigger codes – at least my reader does not pick any up and the check engine light is not illuminated. It seems to only trigger the airbag lights in the dash and dome light console. Also, when I...
