So last week I was pulling out of Arby's and the car seemed to drag a little. Drove home and didn't notice a problem. Wife drove the next day and said she felt it drag too. Long story short, the e-brake cable on the left side was corroded internally and keeping the brake dragging. Got a new...
I've got a high pitched whine every once in a while if I slip the clutch a little to make a quick start. Does any one know if TSB 04-21-19 is the latest and greatest fix for SVT Foci? I'd like to get the best fix soon. Any thoughts? :read:
OK the Boss Lady wants an '05 GT Black etc., etc. Since I'm opening up another new company (helicopters), my question is: Is anyone getting any good deals on the '05's? What kind of lease deals? Not trying to be nosey but I could use some good inputs. The new Ford dealer in town has 1 GT...
It appears that there will be an Auto-X at Miller Park in Milwuakee this Sunday. If nothing else gets in the way, I think I'll give this one a shot. It's been a long time. Anyone else on this site planning on going?
Well it's time to buy new rims or remount on the stock SVT rims. I do have a concern on the different (39mm) offset on the wheels I like. Other than stock, has anyone put different wheels on and how did they work out? Inquiring minds need to know.
God Bless!!!!
Well I just replaced the rear bumper on my SVT. I smacked a truck back when it was 6 degrees out and that sucker basically exploded. Have a friend in the body shop business so I got a new one from Ford and he paited it for less than the bumper costs. Wasn't too bad a job. The screw in...
OK, it looks like there's a slim chance that winter will end and so it is now time to get some new rims for the Focii. I want something that looks different from the stock SVT rim and I prefer chrome or polished aluminum. I would love some pix if anyone has any opinions (LOL!!!).
Sorry...
OK, so who has autoxed their SVT, what class does it run in (SCCA) and what's the main competition? Is anybody winning? I plan on doing at least a few next year, plus we have a local group that does events at Blackhawk Farms, so I hope to do a couple of those.
Hey!!!
I just picked up a copy of "Focus Fanatic" magazine. I've only scanned it but it looks pretty good so far. Supposedly if this one off version sells well they will make it a regular deal. Wasn't easy to find, I had to go to the biggest magazine dealer in Milwaukee to get it. Got...
OK, my '89 Coupe is leaving permanently and it looks like next year will be a Focus year with the SVT at various track exercises. Now I'm not new to this drag racing thing, been doing it on and off since '68, but I had a heck of a time launching my SVT last summer. Either wheel hop or bog. I...
After surviving last years snow driving (barely), I am planning on getting a full set of snow's for this season. Anybody got suggestions? I was thinking Blizzaks but I'd like to hear some other opinions.
BTW, the best I could do in my 2002 SVT was a 16.1 and I've been drag racing since...
Hey!!!
I had the local dealer install the program update on my SVT (what a hassle to get done:gt: ) and since then the BATT light blinks on. We notice it shortly after first start of the day when you hit the brakes. It blinks on for a second or so and then off never to be seen again that...
Hey gang! Just wanted to say Hi! Got an '02 SVT in July and I love it. Not as fast as my coupe but the wife and I both love to throw it around. The only drivability problem I have is the random high idle and that occasionally it acts like it has a stuck closed choke plate (I'm showing my...
