*Nice* I can see myself going in that direction in a couple years...

1. How's the ride?
2. If it rides well... how's it handle quick manuevers?

Had occasion to travel the crosstown today. I think my teeth are feeling a little loose. Concrete stretches are OK but the asphalt sections are seriously shitty. It seems like it's getting difficult to even good roads anymore. That's all for now...

Sweet. Turn that thing into a taz devil!

Oh, and for the record: She's almost right. There's practically nothing wrong with that wheel

If you're looking to get a set of wheels and tires for winter use...I've found it to be easier and only a little more money to go with new. You get exactly what you want... and you can't beat brand new. Last year I got outfitted with a set of Hankook i-Pikes on steelies from Discount Tire for around...

Aaah... that's a shame. One of the things that sounded so impressive-- besides the exhaust note (as well as a person can tell from an e-vid)-- was how he talked about torque a'plenty in pretty much any gear at almost any rev. That said, just looking at the numbers, the 2.0 ecoboost SHOULD be equally...

And, for those that haven't seen this clip- Jeremy Clarkson pretty much gushin' about this car as he mashes the pedal some- you might wanna check it out: www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DTeXr50LNJfM
This car just GROWLS!

According to Autoblog, there's at least a CHANCE it's gonna be substantially under $30: "Watch for the Focus ST to launch sometime in 2012. We haven't heard any rumblings about pricing, but if Ford can keep things near the $25,000 mark (fingers crossed!), we'll be in business. Oh, and consider ...

[/quote] Mine is as weak as you can get... Even an SVT with a focuspower tune will whip mine.. :( Now thats as bad as getting your ass kicked by a midget warrior... http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh211/patalrob/midget7ma-1.jpg I might as well go jump off a cliff now..[/quote] LMAO... almost peed

Focusmech, from what I gather you're selling some aftermarket suspension. Can you tell me what? FRPP, Eibach, ? The price is right... but I'm not looking to buy into something that rides too rough...

What do you have? OEM or aftermarket? I think I might have to be interested but I know there were some changes up front between the '05 ST (my car) and the '06/'07-- slightly bigger strut IIRC so I'm wondering about compatibility...

Other than that it's controlled Los muertos de quesocabezas , a major Latin gang player, not much that I can tell ya... Just kiddin! :lol: I had a buddy from Hudson, years ago. If he was anything representative, it's probably decent enough...It's not really controlled by the "Dead Cheeseheads&q...

All depends upon how far you are willing to drive and how much you are willing to pay for rent. I don't know much about the Wisconsin side, but it might be smart to check out what's around Hudson first. On the Minnesota side, running along 94, you have Afton which probably won't have a lot of apts b...

another question. Do i need to also replace the master cylinder? Not sure of the design of the 05+ models, but on the 00-04, if I replace the clutch again, the master's getting done at the same time. It will eventually leak, and you might as well only have to bleed the hydraulic system once. The 05...

...and the more you look at it, the more you like it. Love that satin black! Seriously, that is the COOLEST hot hatch I've ever been unpriveleged to lay eyes on. Lucky European bastards. I could almost hate them. Ford lovers unite, the latest Mustang--even the V6--is also one sweet machine, right? S...
