Hey guys! I'm glad I found this site. Already very helpful! I've always had a "crush" on the SVTF's and now I finally picked one up. I had a 96 VW Jetta which was the biggest POS I've ever had before. I'm mechanically inclined and that thing never stopped breaking down the entire time I owned it!! [spank] I've always been a Ford/Mazda guy but decided to try something different.. nice.. The Crank Sprocket key/keyway wearing out and time getting off was my last straw so I started looking for the focus. Got it with 149k on it, and in decent shape for 2800! Only real problem is the IMRC code and the apparent dreaded throw-out/clutch rattling noise as I accelerate. I thought it was a cv axle at first until I disengaged and the noise stopped. Picking up a set of Steeda mats to match my red interior here soon. Trying to not modify it too much but I have a parting out SVTF in the area with a supercharger on it, lol.. Definitely would like to get rid of that rattle at some point with a new clutch and throw out bearing (assuming that is what the issue is).
Question: Do regular and SVT focus' use the same fuse dash panel? Mine is missing (right above the OBD port). Not sure if I regular foci have the exact same dash part?
Also, do the foglights automatically work in conjunction with the headlights? My foglights are not working so not sure. I definitely don't see a switch anywhere.
Other ride, I have owned since I bought it new off the lot. 01 Mustang GT. I have beat the hell out of this car and it has held up like a champ! [clap] Procharger at 12#'s on stock internals, 3-core IC, 42# injectors, SCT Xcal2, BBK Long Tubes & X-pipe, Borla Catback, 3.73's, Detroit True Trac, Steeda sport springs, Steeda hardcore LCA's, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. Trying to get it to 11.7 when the weather gets cooler. Best is 11.84 @ 118.84
Anyway - thanks for keeping what looks to be like a great board going. Not many people are into cars these days and many of the boards are dead. This one does not seem to be so!!
