Sliders could be added at some point if you wanted.
White Faced Gauges in stock cluster
Accelerator Pedal "Spacer Mod" (adjusts gas pedal to make heel-toe shifting easier)
Autometer ultralite2 gauges, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, and diff temp

Rear Spoiler deleted
Small crape on passenger side scoop and a little bit on the quarter as well. Don't have an estimate on repairing this but should be straightforward for a bodyman. The paint still looks very good, it has been regularly washed/waxed and polished once a month and clay barred once a year. There are a few flaws on the exterior though, it is almost an 11 year old car. The front bumper could use a respray.
As far as tires, front Good Year Eagle F1s have about 60-70% left, Rears are Dunlops and they are almost bald. The wheels are MB Battles in 17x9.5 inch that have some minor curb rash but still in decent shape.
This is not a show car but it still turns many heads and gets lots of positive feedback. It sounds and drives great, and with a power adder would be the ultimate street/road course machine. Motor had good compression last I checked last year when I did new Bosch Platinum plugs. I also have an extra set of these plugs I can throw in at no extra cost, not that you will need them anytime soon. Oil regularly changed with Castrol Syntec Full Synthetic every 3-4k miles with a motorcraft filter.
Thanks for looking

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
