i do have a question thou if i go. i want to get something fixed. when i bought my car my intake was LOUD and awesome at like 3k rpm you could hear the loud mini turbo vaccum sound and i took it to the dealership to get my cel fixed and since then it hasnt made the noise. i was wondering if anyone knew how to get it back for me. or if anyone has any rear speakers they wanna donate ot me.

baffle?



the dealership probably installed a baffle pre-MAF. take it out and you have the sound again.....but the cel comes back. you win some, you lose some. there is a way to fix it though. it requires modifying where the MAF is located. Bring money and ill fix it...and as a bonus i will give a class called "Air Flow Dynamics & You"...Really. You've got my number.

You Know...



i hope that you dont have an MSD Coil... or plan to get one. iridium plugs are not recommended, nor are platinums. what kind of specialty tools do you have. me and brad are lookin for a OBD-II plug to USB interface.
 
#10 ·

.......and those words are worthless without video [joke] but do you have any recordings of it? cause I don't remember lol.

if i dont have to work that would be great. ill put it this way, if cjohn doesnt come cuz of work that probably means the i wont be coming either. but just in case, i am going to RSVP +4. my entourage will be with me....no i dont have kids. give me a buzz if you are going to need someone to do stuff on your car. I love to do the work while other people are getting drunk around me.
 
#13 ·
lol actually I'll use parents as an excuse [hihi]........ BUT I'm gonna watch this because it usually follows with some great pics and talk [hihi]

(BTW, Brad, hide that red wig of yours, or Josh might find his way to it this time. [joke])

I will try and make it down. Thanks for the heads up Guy. I don't have any work as of now to be done to the Focus. Just did a massive tune-up on it last week so its set for now. I can help with pretty much anything though.

I got the stock speakers if you want them, thing is I start driving to N.Y. on the 1st. I could prolly drop them by Brad's if you want
 
#32 ·
No worries man, I can drop them off in the next day or two. As for the size, they are the same, you can have the front ones too if you want, lol.
 
#33 ·
