^^I have 2 rep points from n00bs, they show up grey in the list, and I know there's a reason for not giving credit, but it still sucks....

Damn rent, every month I pay it, and in a months time those bastards want more!WTF?!??!!?

The ST has been having trouble starting lately, for some reason. I wonder if it has anything to do with the high pitch whine that I think is coming from the idler pulley...? Any ideas, guys? It basically turns over, but I have to tap the gas for it to actually start...(I know, I should be posting this in Tech, but I thought I'd check here, first.)

Will, I would put Your new neighbor on notice that if Her kids want to play with pots and pans even 5 minutes after 10pm that the cops will be coming by to tell Her to keep it down. She want to be a bitch and piss off Her neighbors, then F her right in the neck. Either that, or get an old 14" house speaker and put it up against the wall You share wjth Her, and throw in a nice Miami Bass CD from the early-to-mid 90's...

yeah, i dont know why my rep points are gray . i didnt ask him for it or anything. i told her that was the only time i will come over and ask and that next time i will call the police. i havent told her that i am ex law enforcement and that i have ties in the department. her life will become hell. lol. i'd really like to blast some polka music when i go to work that way she gets 8 hours of it.

i've been thinking about the death of Bonez and his resurrection....i've had troubles with '00+ fords in the past and always within a few thousand miles of 100k they break in some way. well he is at 97k, so it was kind of expected. while i was under the front end yesterday, i did notice that the bolt & crank pulley had a pretty good coat of rust on them, so i'm thinking that fact that the previous owners lived really close to the gulf of mexico and the focus survived 2 hurricanes down there made me think that it was just a matter of time before the engine went out.

now, the resurrection part. i won't put anything less than a 2.0 zetec back in it, but i was curious if i could put a svt motor in it instead (that, of course, depends on if i can find a wrecked svt focus in the pick a part lots). would i need anything else than just pulling the motor & accessories? just an idea.

I think You might need that getrag, as the ECU is already running a 6 speed tune...

LOL, Polka, now that's just mean!

[focusp71]

paybacks are a B

[ImCuteiThink]

men and their silly rep points

so um. hi SR

[jmiller_1974]

^^Morning, Jowesome!


I don't even think the Feds used Polka at Waco...

I agree, though. I had a neighbor whose dog would bark almost non-stop(no exaggeration) whether or not they were home, and He would get pissy when anyone would complain. Well, one day, His house caught on fire(His pellet stove heater was improperly extinguished and exploded) and when He called the FD(of which I was with, OOPS!), the call went out and We did Our job(in a town surrounded by a National Forest, Our primary job was containment, then attempting to save property). The dog survived, but His house was a total loss. And because of His negligence, His insurance wouldn't pay Him a dime.

Yuppers, payback is a B, alright.

if you got your hair cut or dyed it and no one noticed, you'd be a little worked up.

or if you modded your fofo and showed us and no one cared. its the same way. we helped someone advance, they gave us credit, but it isnt showing up. if someone wants to help e and has large rep points, i know im getting good info.

well, forget that idea. need to get the focus back on the road as quick as i can, don't need to do major mods.

[jmiller_1974]

Well then, it sounds like a plain ole Zetec will have to suffice. For the time and cost of a full SVT swap, You could do a D23....
