Well its that time of year again when we show the world that Proud Focus Owners(FocusFanatics) come in numbers.
From great eats to great drives to great games, We have an awesome day planned that will leave you Fat, Happy and Tired. So without further ado here is the schedule.
11am to 12pmArrival of the Focus' (makes me think of Ride of the Valkeries) <-Click to play while you read
12pm to 2pmMeet for Lunch(Pun intended) <-Clicky Map for location Salt Lick Menu
2pm to 4pmFocus Cruise <-Clicky Map of route
Garry has mapped out a great route. We will tour the RoundRock countryside in a line of Focus that will make the locals go "WTF is that all about? I have never seen that many Focus'"
4pm till last car outMain Event <-Clicky Map to Location Where we will have a bowling competition and play some games and just wind down for the drive home.
There's still too much pollen(not to mention dust from the extreme drought conditions) in the air here to wash a car at night and expect it to be clean the next morning.
Austin has the BEST food trailers in the Universe! Sushi, cupcakes, Indian, Thai, Cajun, etc.. You name it and someone probably serves it out the side window of an Airstream trailer, lol.
I dunno, it has been months since I was out, thanks to work. Usually a little bit of everything(pure muscle to pure rice) and a whole bunch of civics. You know, the usual.
Ok the Timing belt is done. Suprisingly easy. Especially with a Ford Shop manual. Grabbed top dead center and then shoved the pin in. Was right on the money. Cam bar didnt fit so we used a long #2 screwdriver.
Used a Strap wrench to hold the pulley and that worked as designed.
Belt was a little tight then I remembered about taking the tensioner out of the channel and that solved that problem.
Also replaced the #1 O2 sensor to get rid of the slow responce code.
While putting everything back together I noticed one of the spark plugs had some detonation issues so I replaced those as well.
Runs like a scalded dog again. No backfire on throttle blip anymore.
Ready to rock and roll, just gotta move some stuff from My trunk to the limo.
