[05-ST]

This is my 05 ST. Purchased with about 27,800 on it from ford. It was completely loaded, 5 speed of course, and already has some awsome tint on it. So far I lowered it with Eibach Sportline kit. And today I just got a custom exhaust put on it, HKS universal can with 2.25" piping from the second cat. It sounds awsome. I know not everyone likes the "cans" please keep those comments to yourself. Here are a couple pictures, should have more up this weekend, after its bath! Thanks for looking...

Thank You, Yeah, this summer I will get some rims, and a cai... I am still figuring out if I want to debadge, or at least how I want to start, which letters to take off first...

Where do you guys buy the ST logo's to go where the FORD logos are on the front grill and the trunk..?

So the exhaust system turned out well?

Car looks good! Well done. :thumbup:






To the rest: Bear in mind that this ST is owned by someone younger than one would expect. The guy has a good head on his shoulders, knows what he wants and listens, too.

Thanks man :thumbup: You helped a ton. And yes the exhaust did turn out well, they cut after the second cat.. its 2.25" but its really good, enough for what I need. The manager said if anything ever happens, weld breaks for some odd reason, bring it back anytime, and they will fix it free of charge, so I am pretty happy.

I know, I want to go to school tomorrow, so I can drive it haha...

ST logos anyone? To replace the Ford logos? Thanks for the kind comments! I appreciate it.

Edit- I will have a sound clip up either friday or sometime this weekend, plus more pictures.

I will fix them, sorry about that, my photobucket acount was deleted... Let me know if you have any more trouble, should be back up in 5 minutes.

 

[05-ST]

fixed.

Thanks guys. It is a sportline kit, drops it 2" in the front and 2.2" in the rear. It seems like a little more to me, but it is perfect, exactly what I was hoping...

The exhaust goes over the rear subframe. It is very tight but they did it very well. Some say it leaks when they run it over, but the place that I got it done at said, if it starts leaking for some odd reason bring it back, they will reweld it for free....

Thanks man, you have no clue how long I have been waiting to build my own car. I am a active kid, but I have played lots of hours of nfsu2... customizing my rides, figuring out what I want to do when I finally get my car. I mess around on photoshop chopping cars...I am so excited now I finally get to do it to mine! Although I am broke after the drop and exhaust...

Next though
-ST overlays replacing the Ford logos
-Short antenna (maybe) don't want to loose signal
-Cai (how is aem? I can get a good deal on one)
-Clear corners
-Rota slipstreams gunmetal with polished lip 16"
-New pedals, Shift knob, and e brake handle
-Then it will be time to re-upgrade the sound system
-Forgot to add-short throw shifter too

...... I hope to do all this within the next year and a half...

Overdrop? Thats cool, your opinion, I think it sits perfect, exactly what I was hoping for.

Ok, here is an exhaust clip.. It sounds ok, the camcorder doesn't do too much justice, I am sure everyone on here knows that. I will try to do a drive by either tomorrow or sunday.. and have that up, that way you will hear it when it is farther from the camcorder, probably alot better quality sound, but here it goes..

At the end of the clip, last 2 seconds, the car is warmed up and idling normal, pretty good sound when idling.. it was at about 1000rpm the whole time when idling though. Rpms when I revved were about 3-3500.... It gets up in the 38-4200 it sounds amazing.



I know its loud, its what I wanted and love it. Free feel to comment good or bad, I do take everyones comments into consideration, and appreciate them, but I do know what I want for my car. Thanks again

For those who wanted to see how it is running over the rear subframe, here is a picture.

Thanks for the comments. I am trying to find some rota slipstreams in a 16x7 4x108 with a 45mm offset. Probably the all black ones or the gunmetal with polished lip.

Sorry about the image size guys, I just made a new photobucket account and forgot to change the upload sizes to the 800x600, they were set for a 17" screen. They are all resized now.
