Re: the 07 is gone... :(

*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?

Just Bit**'n About Our Roads

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...

Re: WTB set of winter tires on rims...5 lug 14 " 15" 16"?

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...

Re: About time we get a nice focus......

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...

Re: About time we get a nice focus......

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 ...

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...

Re: For Sale.......again

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...

Re: Need housing/ apartment help

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...

Re: '06 ZX4 ST Clutch. Any advice on a Brand or model?

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...
