First bath for the ST

[Coleman Brumley]

The warm up inspired me to get my ST cleaned up.



Here's a pic.



I have some appearance things I want to do to her. Hood scoop, push bar, nerf boards.

As far as performance mods...updated exhaust, cold air intake, and performance TB.



:driving:

Whats the name of your paint color?

Whats the name of your paint color?

Island Blue

 

[Kirk Risseler]

Mine is the Torodor Red (spell?) which is of course my favorite. But, dont tell my truck...I wanted the Island Blue! Thats a sweet color!

 

[EddieS'04]

I wish they would bring that color back. I think it was 1yr only.

Cool, nice man. Now you can come visit me on the Northside and wash mine, it needs it bad!!! :supercool::bwahaha:

 

[Coleman Brumley]

LOL @ Jerry.



I did my tune up today, finally. New autolite double platinum plugs, cleaned the IAC, clean the TB, new gates S belt, new tensioner pulley, new idler pulley. :banana:



She runs great now!!! Shouldn't need this kind of tune up for another 100K -- hopefully.



Found out I need a new rack and pinion and lower ball joints though. :cry:



Oh, well, the last of the bugs. She should run like a new car after that!!!

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

Cool, sorry to hear about the rack n pinion and ball joints. I'll be doing the tune up on mine when I get my tax return next week. New plugs, wires, S.D. coil pack, wires, PCV Valve, fuel filter. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for me. I'll be ordering the wires, coil pack, longer torsion bar bolts from Todd Z.

:banana:

Dont get a hood scoop, it looks cheesy IMHO.

 

[Coleman Brumley]

Thanks, Cluster. The hood scoop is at the bottom of the list, to be honest.



I'm more interested in getting the running boards re-done (naval gel and rhino liner!) and getting the westin safari light bar installed.



Anybody have an idea on the time estimate I should expect for the rack and pinion?

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

Not sure on the prices, contact coastiejoe to see what he can do for you on price. Hopefully it's not too much!! Keep us updated.

 

[Coleman Brumley]

Contacted the shop today about the work. Getting new ball joints and probably a whole new rack and pinion. I'm probably talking a good chunk of change, but at least it's tax season!

I do love that Island Blue color.
