What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?
Thx bro. Oh my god do I ever! U got a tv? Want some names of good shows? Some one that can relate lol. Seems like your kids are about the same age span as mine. Oldest boy likes working on stuff and helping me. Second oldest likes cars and trucks but the 2 yr old loves anything with a motor! Makes vroom sounds then says "daddy car" lmao. Hears exhaust and stops what ever he is doing. If it sounds good he follows with a "nice!" Tells the wife to turn down the radio if we have to take 2 cars somewhere if I have to go to work to hear my car. He's a car guy for sure.

What this car needs for rev-matching are pedal covers not gas pedal spacers. "Heel-toe" is perfect now. I use quotes because i actually use the ball of my foot and roll my foot over to blip the throttle. Gas pedal spacers make the car undrivable on the track when you have the brake pedal to the floor. IMO of course.
It also fixes the issue of slippery pedals.

^^^THIS! 
We keep getting these soaking wet deluge warm spell fronts from the south/southwest, then we get the high pressure COLD fronts following so closely that the rain does not dry off of the car/door openings before it FREEZES solid in the 15*F ambients.![[:(]](/images/smilies/frown.png "Frown [:(]")
That's when you hear that frightening stick/rip of the weatherstrips pulling away from the doors on opening (IF they are not frozen solid shut!).
This stuff; https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-91480615-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber/dp/B004B8GTQG
helps prevent that expensive damage.
I actually got the idea to check the factory battery electrolyte level from koozy on here, who found his battery's levels were WAY DOWN, albeit he lives in a hot, (mostly) dry climate.
After a year and a half of ownership, and never having opened the caps since then (was too used to/spoiled by the mostly maintenance free Die Hard/Odyssey AGM I had in my Z28 LOL), mine were down a little, so I topped them up with distilled water, and threw a quick charge on it since I sometimes sit in the car with the engine off and listen until the end of a fave song playing.
Once EnerSys/Odyssey releases the threaded SAE posts for their PC 1100/ER40 battery, I will get that one to replace the factory Motorcraft, and save about 10 pounds off of the nose, without losing ANY power or capacity at all (unlike the lighter yes, but much weaker, ever popular, PC 625s and PC 680s).![[:)]](/images/smilies/smile.png "Smile [:)]")
(Plus, I already have the bespoke Odyssey/Schumacher charger for that battery.)

Yeah I let the car idle on max defrost for 15-20 minutes with this last freezing rain we had. It took five minutes of hammering around the door seams just to break off enough ice to pull the door open without destroying the door handle/latch. When I came back out, it still took another five minutes of scraping the windows and mirrors. It wasn't then enough to penetrate the ice on the driver rear window, so just left it there. So yeah, about 5 minutes to get into it, 15-20 minutes idling on max defrost, another five minutes scraping. Gotta love old man Winter. /SARCASM
Ordered a Radium oil catch can from Ron
