    rubbing sound when turning right. any ideas?

    So, I have a 2014 with 12,4xx miles on it. I'm the second owner. The other night when leaving for work I turned all the way to the right as far as you can turn the steering wheel because I had to make a sharp turn. This was in 1st, so I was barely moving. I noticed a loud rubbing noise...

    Just joined the FiST club

    I woke up Christmas morning to a green envy 2014 with 12k miles and recaro package. My wife wrapped the key fob like a present, and when I opened it I was in total shock. I walked outside and it had a big bow on top. My wife is the most awesome beautiful woman in the world!

    removing badges

    I removed the Focus badge on the back of my SVT but left the SVT part. It came off fairly easy, but now it is sticky and you can see a faint outline of where the focus used to be. Does anyone have a suggestion for taking the residue off that is paint friendly? Thanks, Rob :)

    I like fried rice!

    So I'm coming home from work just cruising in the SVT Focus and listening to some tunes when I hit a red light in front of a mall with a long stretch of 3 straight lanes for at least a quarter of a mile. As I'm stopped at the light in the middle lane a older early 90's accord with some funky...

    I was coming home from my sisters tonight minding my own business. Well, I was at a stoplight and this guy in a V6 99-03 bodystyle pulls up next to me and starts reving his engine and right then the light turns green and he takes off. I take off slowly in first because my dad is with me, but he...

    average or expected clutch life

    My 03 has approx 8,400 miles on it, and when I start it in the morning the clutch is nice and soft. After driving it for approx an hour if I stop at a gas station or turn it off for around five to ten minutes the clutch is considerably firmer to press in and will not disengage as quickly as...

    interior vibration at 6k rpm in second?

    Hey guys, I have an 03' SVT Focus 2 door. Well, I usually cruise with the window either cracked or down on the drivers side because of the pretty mild weather we have here in Texas. Tonight, although the temp is very mild(around 65), it is very windy so I rolled the window...

    Why are there almost no aftermarket wheels with the 4x108 bolt pattern?:cuss: :bash: And if I find some they are butt ugly.:nonono: Any way this is what I'm looking for for my 03' Silver SVT or something almost exactly like it. I want the finish to be in Gunmetal. All the ricers have...

    Oil gauge?

    I just picked up my 03' SVT focus and I noticed that when I come to a stop the oil gauge needle falls lower towards where the 1/4 mile mark would be on a gas gauge and goes up to the 3/4 area when I accelerate. Is this normal for the SVTs?:shrug: Thanks. BTW mine has about 130 miles on it.
