Thanks a lot guys! I'm holding back a lot not going out and driving it around some.

Anyone know how to access the radio on these? I have an iPod controller for factory radios that allows it to be controlled through the radio, it was in the '08 and I looked it up, it's supposed to work with the '11 SD too.

What do ya think do I give up some fuel mileage for cool factor?
there are a lot of go fast parts for the focus. the v6 stang will get about 20-25mpg, nothing too great really. i think the 3.5 is reliable though.

pulling the engine is easy and quick, and you can buy an engine reseal kit and do everything while its out.

Somewhere w/food, and not a two hour wait.

Or everyone can come to my shop and wax trucks? I will supply pizza and beer.
