I think we should change the term from "Open a can of whoop ass" to "Open a can of 2 Beer".

If 2Beer could be canned, it would smell like raunchy Tuna.

listen fuckwaste, I own one, their are better cars for the money. Second I have a lot of personal experiences with a lot of cars because I have either A) worked on them or B) had them in my shop being worked on. I do it for a living. Why dont you go back to fucking your sister. At least you know something about that.

So much hatred and anger out of you 2 of beer. That time of the month for your man period I see. Chill out dude just busting you'r balls!!!



























Wait she's my sister...

DONT MOD IT. In fact dont buy it.

This...and if you are not capable of listening at least replace the timing belt as soon as you get it.

But according to bbfagstang I dont know what the fuck I am talking about. oh do you have personal experience with one of these cars as well?

[HELLFYR]

I liked mine when I had it.
I went with a steeda short throw, simple CAI, MSD Coils and wires, and a Tune.
Was a fun little car and would get 30+ mpg on the hwy.

Note that it is next to impossible to totally disable the traction control in the 2002 due to some FU in the computer.

Also, be prepared to spend some time fixing some of the weak points. Nearly ALL of the 2002-2004 models will break the little knob on the armature that controls the switch over from long intake runner to short intake runner. It makes a BIG difference under heavy acceleration. It is a simple fix with a drill and a screw, but a PITA none the less. (search focusfanatics.com for details)

Also, many will develop a "squak" in the rear around the sub-woofer. Hunt around for the rubbing panel, insulate a bit and done. Gets real annoying in the cold and on bumpy roads.

If it has the chrome wheels, be prepared for a nightmare of maintenance. The brakes on those cars dust something fierce and it is a daily cleaning regimen to keep them looking nice.

Also many instances of the 6-CD changer going out in them.
Mine never did, but I know of several in the area that did.

Exactly what I was going to say.

My six disc took a shit, I had the head warp on it at 34k miles, I have fixed the intake runner. I have had the rattle in the rear, I did a tsb while at the ford dealer for the clutch and flywheel. Flywheel was in two pieces (dual mass flywheel) I have dont 3 of 4 wheel bearings on it. Sway bar links, etc. I have done lots and lots of other piddly little fixes on the car. The list could go on for hours.

64,xxx on mine. 6 disc took a dump in Nov. Just started hearing the rattle.
Has ran great, been low maintenance so far.
I have the euro option, and those heated ricaros

Put cougar rims on with winterforce tires and the thing is soooo nice in the winter.

How do you know if the runner linkage is busted? I still feel the power bump at 5,200. Is there a reasonable way to check?

I had a 02 svtf, one of the only cars I miss. I loved how it drove and worked as a daily driver. Mine did have every single tsb go wrong with it though. Plus it was a california lemon. Plus the engine blew up on me.... Wierd thing was I never ever beat on it, I drove it like I wanted to keep it forever. Had to sell because of $$$ problems, and despite the issues I would have loved to keep it

Reminds me of the crackhead/whore I knew, all sorts of issues but boy do I miss how it drove.

Just trace the cable to the linkage if its busted the cable will just be hanging there. Make sure to give it a tug, as it isn't plainly obvious it isn't attached due to the stiffness of the cable casing leading up to the armature.

I apologize for insinuating that you didn't know what you were talking about, I should know my place on TCS, I promise I will never question the Beer Of 2 again...

No need to call names 2 beer, I believe I never called you any.

And know I dont have experience with the svt focus...
