Yesterday dropped the X off at the dealer I bought it from to do a cooling system pressure test as well as cylinder checks. My coolant is going somewhere....my oil is a bit milky....My guess is head gasket or cracked head. I've never let the thing overheat or anything. They are hoping its the CV system kicking back moisture into the oil.

had my tires road force balanced yesterday at the ford dealership, 100$ plus tax, took 2.5-3 hours

night and day difference, iS feels wayyy better at hwy speeds
no shaking when braking @ 100-120km/hr
no more vibrations @ 100-120km/hr
no more steering wheel pulse when turning the wheel @ 50km/hr +

lets just say Kaltire sucks

i thanked her for a safe trip to nj and back to va. Also i would like to report that she does 100 without any issues and being a 3.0i im quite proud

Wrap the wood trim in gloss black. I'll post some pics later.

Got alternator and all CCV parts on the way... oh yea, I also got the oil filter housing gasket as well so while I'm hunting down this oil leak(s) I'm sure I've got every thing possible... humm... I wonder if the PS is leaking?:(

New to the M54 so there is going to be some growing pains but so far I really love the way this thing runs!

I'm intrigued please do post!

Waiting for pics ....:thumbup:

Spring is finally here, so I powder coated my Style 132 wheels and put a new set of Pirelli shoes. They came out as I was hoping, perfect. I also installed a new set of OEM Sport exhaust from a 4.6is that I found on Craigslist. They are a plug and play for the 3.0, lucky me :D. Here are some pictures after a good bath.

^ Looks fantastic. Get some gloss black front grills to match the wheels.
