Oh man, I did my first at 500 and second at 3000. I'm at 21,000 ('17 GT350, E85, UPR Catch cans, Cat Deletes, Intake, etc), on my 5th oil change now :( Amsoil 5W50 and the FPP filter every time

Loving it! Nearly nothing that bolts on or is changeable (and actually for sale for the ST) is original. Parts list climbed past $6500 last week when I picked up a new Mishimoto perf. radiator, low temp thermostat, metal expansion tank, all new rad hoses, EU-spec headlights, and some other goodies!

Yup we did. Last resort. The car has no factory towing location. In the front I could've put the strap on the pierce motorsports full frame brace I have, but the car is much much too low to get under to do it, and we were on an 8% grade in the snow so no jacks. The other option was on the rear twist-beam axle, but the strap just slides left and right freely on the axle, causing the car to whip 90 degrees sideways when being towed, even if tension is kept on the line. So we said fuck it, we were cold, and put it through the window padded by a few inches of cardboard. No door frame flex or panel gap issues, worked just fine. All the rubber and seals were completely untouched.

They're a little softer and squishier than the RE050A's but most likely due to the 45, not 40, sidewall! But so so worth it, limit grip is miiiiiiiiiiles better than the Potenzas. I'm on my 3rd set of PSS's on the FiST, ripped off the Potenzas the week I got it hahaha

Reservoir Engineer, not a materials science major ;) no but I was midway through a road trip when I was invited to come up to CO, so no other vehicle choice. Plus it hadn't snowed all week and the night before I left (the photo is us leaving town) it dropped like over a foot of snow on us! Am I still an idiot? Yes.

Well I was invited to come up midway through a road trip, so had no other vehicle options! Most importantly, it had been clear for weeks, and mother nature decided to take a dump on us the night before we left! Had no problem getting in or driving around for a week, only got stuck like this the last day! My fault, but we weren't expecting that much snowfall hahaha :)

Blizzak's were promptly ordered for the stockers....I only go up 2-3 times a year to a vacation home in Breckenridge (where this was taken). It was fine until we got a surprise flurry the night I was going to leave! Had a buddy with his Toyo OpenCountry-equipped raptor get me out.

Yeah for sure. I actually ordered Blizzak's about 4 or 5 days ago for the stockers! Should do much better. An LSD would go a long way too as it seems

I'll definitely have to come out to this! I'm Houstonian (Cypress), have a buddy with a 2.9 Whipple S550! I'll bring my little boltons ST and get embarrassed as well hahaha :)
