what i meant by the lemon comment is that your conditions don't put too much of a strain on battery, so if you don't have an upgraded stereo system or use the car to power a portal electric grill with the engine off, then you should be fine with these tiny batteries.

If the battery is Lithium based, environment can play a HUGE role in their cranking capability.

Exhaust is starting to come into perspective. After a TON of research. I am going with MotivConcepts. http://www.motivconcepts.com pieces... They are truly exceptional in the quality and performance. I will be using their header, (not developed yet) their overpipe and their catpipe... Can't wait to get this on and running. One step closer..

Looks like there is a rule clarification to prohibit the use of E85 on any vehicle not OE "Flex Fuel"... hope no one broke the bank on a E85 tune for STX yet (oops...)
Not yet anyways... I can understand the principle behind it....its not truly available for everyone. ..that and incurs cost into the tune etc. I am taking a wait and see approach on this one for now.

thanks Tim..

Just the bushings? I assume that's because of rules and stuff. I saw pictures of their replacement rear LCA from SEMA, but it's not on their site yet...

yeah pretty much..... We can change the control arms as long as the OE type and not heim jointed... Hence why its easier to just to do Bushings..

Any chance you can do a DIY for the rack and pinion bushing? I have been interested in that mod but don't know how hard the install is.
