ya... thats nothing to worry about... just clutch chatter. a lot of aftermarket lightweight flywheels do that too. the spec stg2 with the 12lb guy was real loud. push the pedal in to disengage and the noise would go away.. Shouldn't worry about that.

the clutch in my focus didnt' start to slip until 125k miles give or take

Well eff it then, gonna order a fswerks tune!

Ill get clutch when slips. Since work commute is all highway it should last past 125k hopefully. It grabs hard still. 27k in the year I've owned it, luckily all highway!

You guys ever meet up in the spring/summer/fall??

Yay my dad has mine before me and just had a 30 mile highway drive each way to work and thats basically all the miles it saw until i got it at around 80k miles give or take.. and even then it last after several days at waterford hills. and me just dicking around with it.

We used to have a hell of a lot more get togethers in the last few years but last year we didn't heave nearly as many. I'll probably try throwing something together at the house some point this summer.

I know a few of the guys on here go to Carlisle but most of them dont post too regularly.

I'm all for a meet even though at this point it'd be half ford focus half eurotrash

late post but ya after taxes im going to go get approved and already found a few house's in that area. also if i get approved for 90K then that would be sweet. also im looking at property taxes also and being realistic. also I am also looking at house inspection and bringing my dad along who is a licensed contractor that should help.
