I finally got my ST

[Snax]

Hi Guys I finally got my ST last nite. I'll post some pics when I've cleaned it.
Just have a couple of questions.
1. Can you replace the gear knob? How? - I tried turning it but it seems that it's attached to tube.
2. My rear fog light is not working. I read that ford disconnects it or maybe its just busted. I cant see anythin while reversing.
3. does any1 know how to fix the cigarette lighter mine doesnt seem to be working

Turn it harder. It has some loktite on it.

The rear fog only comes on when you pull the light switch all the way towards you (2 clicks) if it doesn't its probably just the globe. It does not come on by itself when you select reverse (but simple wiring will enable this)

Check the fuses. Fuses are in the passenger footwell, 2 plastic screw lugs holding it inplace, it will swivvel down

Yea it took me a while to figure out how to turn on the fog lights.
I did turn the rear fog light on but its not lit, so Im thinking its busted, but I'll also check the fuse box.

So what are your first impressions Snax? Are you having fun?

I really havent had a chance to drive it yet but first impressions awesome besides the fact that I've turn the wipers on everytime I indicated and I switch the wipers on when I indicate. I also found that the cigarette lighter not workin because I was gonna put neon under the dash, and my rear fog light busted I think, the gear knob is scratched to the max so I need to replace it if I figure out how. but besides everything as expected
with regards to the radio I realize that the guy doesnt know how to tune a head unit and the sounds not awesome but it will do. I might just put a Sub n amp with a line out.
I'll take it for a good drive tonight and I'll let you know 2moro

ST170 doesn't have a rear fog lamp. Because you have the bodykit they replace the rear fog lamp with a reverse lamp. So you have 2 reverse lamps instead of a fog lamp and a reverse lamp. Hopefully that makes sense to you

I took the ST out last nite for a drive/floggin and I have to say Im really happy with it. I didnt wanna get out. How good does this thing corners? I really happy with the car. the only complain I have is the gap between the brake and the accelarator pedal and there is no foot rest for your left foot.
I prob wont do any engine mod for a while. I'm thinking of putting flames on the side of it just to give it a bit more ummmph.. wat you fink

[melbzetec]

Glad to hear you're loving it. I knew you'd love the handling.

The lack of footrest bothered me for about 3 months then got used to it.


Flames? Well, I am not a flame sort of guy...but whatever floats your boat!!!

flames you say hahaha i LOVE FLAMES teehee... just not on cars......i wouldnt put flames on it mate, just leave it for a while......and youll start to appreciate its looks. the car is very subtle.

The only reason I was thinking of putting a decal on it because its got a dint on both sides and sort of stands out so by putting the decal I was hoping it takes attention out of the dints. or maybe I'll just put bullet holes stickers on them.

[melbzetec]

Snax, just polish the bejesus out of the car and wheels, and everyone will see how shiny they are, say "what a great car", and ignore the dings.

Do stickers and they'll say "what a dyckhead"

Don't do stickers

[Snax]

Alrite I wont
