    Really nice ride! Where did you find your hood?

    I have a question. I have had occassion to touch a wrapped header on an engine that had run for 20 minutes. It was not unbearably hot. I was wondering if the coating on your header allows anything close to that. One of the (few) mods I plan for my svtf is to coat the header and wrap it and I was wondering just how effective the coating really is? Of course, I am not planning to show my car, so I dont care if it isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing.

    Also, I was also wondering about your racing cat. Does your cat cause any CEL problems? We have emissions testing in WI. They no longer do sniff tests, they just plug into your OBDII. So, if it causes no CELs, it will pass our emmisions testing.

    What is an EDM interior? Is EDM a company, a finish? Do you have pics of your car here? Sounds like you got a few $$ in your machine. Until I got my SVTF, I'd have never considered a Focus to be worth a big investment. Of course this is the 1st Focus I've owned at all. I love this little car!! Virtually thing about it!

    CaysE,

    Re: Parts & Accessories Forum, Original Ford Focus brochures, quote:
    "I don't mean to be rude my friend, but you are asking far too much money for these. They can be had for $5-$10 on Ebay. I'm interested in the '03 and '04 brochures (the ones with the silver sedan on them) if you're willing to come down in price."

    Yes, thank you for not being rude. I would be more than willing to come down on price on these brochures. Please correct me if I am wrong, you are interested in two:

    a. 2003 Focus full line color brochure
    b. 2004 Fcous full line color brochure (includes 2.5 pages on SVT)

    I ship USPS 3rd day Priority Mail (trackable) and can ship both brochures in the same envelope to save money.

    What would you offer for both of these to a fellow Focus Fanatics member?

    I replaced the head on my engine, so I know it fairly well, but not as well as some of the builders on here. I lubricated the VCT gear by removing it from the cam and slowly pouring oil down the gap around the sleeve that fits into the cam.

    Morning, can you elaborate on what you said about lubricating the VCT gear? How familiar are you with our SVT engines... My builder may still be scratching his head a lil.

    Thanks,

    Ken
