considering I've done tint, the homemade shorty ant and then did the 67mm t/b, cai, header, bsd, frpp suspension and sct tune/dyno'd and vf dogbone I may be done cept for the new tires.... I'll probably stay with stock size tires and keep the stock wheels...cheaper that way

that is however subject to change[scratch]

I know this isn't necessarily the appropriate place, but I have been living with a disease that has up to this point been incurable. Today however my dr.'s office called to let me know that my situation has improved and I'm in the treatbable to curable stage. I just praise the Lord for that.

jet i appreciate your kind words and duece i will keep you in my prayers, they do get answered.

on another subject since i need tires i am going with the bfg g-sport super sport a/s.. this was a difficult decision since the money is no longer there to upgrade to 17s. according to most tho i should be happy with this decision.. you know i really do love my st to date since 07 when i bought the car i have only seen 3 others... that's sorta cool...

Thanks for the kind words Guys.
Hopefully it was caught soon enough and all will be well.
I'm having surgery next Friday.
And,I too have only seen a couple of ST's since getting mine and still have not found another that was optioned without traction control.

On a positive note:
Im starting to look at what gauge pods will work best for the ST?
I kinda like the radio replacement gauge pod from Massive,but hate removing my radio.
What are some of you guys using?
I need A/F gauge and maybe a Nitrous gauge.....what else will be useful?

duece i wish i had the money to do what you're doing to your ST right now, but i'm stuck with clutch issues again. I do know this when this thing is paid for in about 12 months I am gonna put some money in it and finally be done. oh and did i mention my tires are bald... yikes... this is the 4th monday this week... LOL

the other day me and Tracy were backing out and I heard a pop.. thought i hit a limb in the drive or something, but wasn't a thing there... then i noticed my cruise stopped working, then yesterday my clutch was like about an inch or closer to the floor... i pulled it back with my foot and all the sudden my cruise worked again. the pedal is loose and it seems to be working now, but since the clutch was practically on the floor i took it back to the shop who put it in... they didn't get to it yesterday so i can't say for sure, but since it is hydraulic Joe told me is wasn't a cable like i thought it could be. i am hoping that it is only a hose that possible busted enough to cause a leak, but it could be the throw out bearing or to be honest i have no idea. i will find out today and since i don't have any tools to work on these things myself i am at the mercy of the local speed shop that put it in... the good thing is Joe doesn't wear me out with cost, but any unnecessary cost now is almost more than i can deal with since my tires are literally on their last legs... on another note this will probably keep me from getting the FR Rally 17's i wanted, so i am going to be stuck with getting new tires that are stock size. oh and btw i did decide on the bfg g-sport super sport A/S H/V tires. i'm just hoping the cost is not excessive or i may sell the ST. it has become very expensive to the point of being an albatross if anyone knows the troubles i've had with it.

i just really whined big time... LOL

ok.. i got my car back early this morning and joe said there's nothing wrong with your car..."just a little dead spot in the clutch, a little play". ok... so i take it home and it seemed to be not so bad as it has been the last couple of days.... well a little later this afternoon the cruise stopped and i pulled the clutch pedal back and wholla! it worked again. oh well it is a Fix Or Repair Daily vehicle and since I am a Ford guy I'll just live with it... no charge for him driving it 4 different times yesterday and me with nothing to drive... but NO COST!!! Tires are coming in Oct. BFG's on stock rims... maybe when i can get this thing paid in 12 months i'll do something more with it, but for now i am done... it's only got 26k on the odo and being an 07 i may trade it or possibly just make it a bit more fun to drive... to early and right now to broke to tell..

btw thanks for the tire suggestion, but i am sorta sold on the bfg g-force SS A/S V tires [:)]
