Finally got my SVT Focus

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:49:53 -0400

so earlier this week i got my my new car. i had to replace my 2000 zx2 that i had been riding hard since i was 16. it made it through high school and college, but was not liking my commute to my new job in the city, so i had to get something new. i decided on a SVT Focus and after about a month of looking i found the perfect one. the car is a silver 2003 that had 31999 miles on it. ive put about 175 miles on it since yesterday morning and have loved every mile. i was worried that the car would be numb and cold like most newer cars are. i remember driving my brothers 3 series bmw and having a feeling that i was riding rather than driving. the SVTF is nuts, it revs eagerly to 7200 rpm, and will take corners faster than my XR. the interior is awesome, black leather with blue cloth inserts, and the 6 speed is great. if anyone is looking for a new fun daily that sips gas if you drive it right i would give a SVTF a try. it does remind me of a newer version of a xr with out all the "character". pics hopefully tomorrow, this weekend is going to be busy, but i cleaned up the head lights, HID's which are blinding , and want to give it a proper wash and wax tomorrow. I want to get a pic with all three of my cars-mustang,XR,SVTF, while i have them all. Thanks

What did you do to your Merkur today?

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:11:53 -0400

I have not seen a thread like this so, put me in my place if there already is.

Tell us, brag, or whine about what you replaxed/fixed/rebuilt/broke/disassembled/blewup/etc. today!

Pics are definitely a plus!

I'll start...

Today I bought 2 quarts of Redline 75w-90 for the rear diff, 5 quarts of 10w-30 Mobil1, FL-1a filter and a code reader woohoo ($30 from Kragen)!

Look What Blugg Dropped Off Today !

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:53:49 -0400

Apparently, Jeff (Blugg) couldn't find a box big enough to ship this UPS or FedEx. I was able to persuade him to deliver my newest XR. Now, this isn't one of the XRs he is trying to give away for free. So, that's why I was able to get him to throw in the shipping. Anyway, some of you may have seen this at Carlisle this year. 87 Crystal Blue, 5 speed, leather and about 60,000 miles. All stock, just the way I like them. The MPM delivery team arrived this afternoon. Thanks again Jeff !

DON'T....

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:15:49 -0400

Dammit. I made that mistake last night. I have a pretty bad head cold, stuffed up sinuses etc. Took some at 6pm, then some at midniht....unfortunately, they kept me awake all night. I think I dozed off around 5.30am for an hour...

Now I'm wired as hell after drinking coffee to wake me up! AND I've got to take more drugs to clear it.....

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OUCH!

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:29:14 -0400

So i go outa town for a week and this is what happens while im gone..

thank god she had full coverage

as of now we are talking to Blugg about a replacement vehicle.. *cough* very nice minty one *cough*

So the question is whats the best car for the woman to replace it with? "use the poll"

i promised i wouldnt cry...

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:58:47 -0400

Today was a hard day for me the baby"s started school both at the same time i didnt get to hold on to one of them for another year. I know other people have already had this experience but this is my first, and i promised it wouldnt be hard but it was. The teacher gave us a poem to read so it would make it easier for me but it made it harder,I'll have more attention to spend on my merkurs' now but at what price? It's just not the same without the kids running crazy around the yard nearly falling on the concrete and getting hurt so i can hold them and kiss thier owie's, or having to heard them in because the bee's are getting to hostile. I know i cant hold on to them for ever but it would be nice.
I'll share the poem so those of you with kids can remember what the first day brought you, fears,relief and for me sorrow.

I gave you a little wink and smile As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave and know your child must stay.
You've been with them(him/her) for four years now and have been a loving guide,
But now,alas,the timehas cometo leave them at my side.
Just know that as you drive away and tears down your cheeks may flow
I'll love them as I would my own and help them learn and grow.
For as a parent,I too experienced taking my own child to class.
So please put your mind at ease and cry those tears no more
For I will love them and take them in when you leave them at my door.

the picture didnt turn out as well as id hoped but its the best i have for now, hope i didnt seem to sappy but these are my pride and joy along with my merkur's..
thanks all...

Who wants to buy a Porsche

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:35:34 -0400

I just traded in an 03 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Porsches upgraded tire and wheel pkg, audio pkg, and leather pkg, with 36K miles. Great running and looking car. We will probably be selling it for about $30,000 if anyone has an interest, let me know. as soon as it gets out of the shop, I can get pics (in shop for used car inspection, before it hits our lot)

84 people on at 5:45am EDT?

Heading to South Carolina in a few hours to pick up my son

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:07:08 -0400

So I'm leaving this afternoon for South Carolina, to get my son for this school year. Comming back on Monday. Wish me luck on the trip, LOL>

Screwed up my wing bad yesterday

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:52:04 -0400

No, not that one:

Moving some boards at a messed up new store site when something went "pop". (4hrs instead of our usual 4 days to build, and they still don't have all their walls, floors, plumbing, electrical. To top it off, we had to do another one 2�mi away (� crew at each) and the first day they delivered all our stuff to the wrong city (350mi away). end rant) Can't lift or pull.
Jumped on the plane home (try a heavy carry-on and computer bag with one arm) and went straight to our workman's comp clinic. Ace bandage and ice packs until X-rays in 30min to see if a piece of bone popped off, then probably an MRI and an Orthopedic Specialist.

Calendar?

buying a car with a lein on it

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:18:59 -0400

so i am buying a car tomorrow, and the seller has a lein on it. i am going to pay off his loan and give him some cash, but all i will have is a bill of sale and a title with a lein on it. which is enough for a temp tag, but once i pay off his loan, the loan company is going to send the lein release to someone. i talked to his loan company and they said that he could swithch the info over to me and they could send the release to me, but thats trusting the seller to make the call and switch it to my name. also they said that he could do it before they get the payment, but it would not be changed untill after they get the check, so after i pay the loan down the seller needs to call again. the guy seems pretty cool, and i am going to call and confirm that he called in today and noted the account and make sure they know whats up, but its still making me nervous. the car is in too good of shape to let the deal fall through because of a lein. i just need to get it figured out. thanks

OUCH!

Time for a new daily driver

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:00:49 -0400

Planning on buying a new daily driver this fall, as my poor ole Contour is just about had it.

Given that my wife has a nice MB Wagon for hauling stuff/family around, I’m thinking it’s time to go back to something sporty, so here is what I am looking for:

It must be:
A 2 or 3 door
2+2 seating
RWD (or AWD)
Manual

Looking at cars 5 to 10 yrs old in the 8 to 14K price range.

A few cars I’ve liked (that can be had for a reasonable price):

MB C230 Coupe – Oddly enough the closest modern equivalent to an XR4 (hatch, FI 4 banger, RWD, IRS)
Pontiac GTO – For some Australian hoonage
Mazda RX-8 – High revving rotary

I’ve also considered a Mustang but would really want a 2011 Perf Pack V6, which will be about 10K out of my price range.

Any other suggestions?

Jake

Don't let that A-hole Rob Booth near your Carbon Fiber

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 01:33:04 -0400

I took my Carbon Fiber Hood over to Outcast Fabrications today because I scratched the clear coat. I just wanted Rob to sand it down and re clear it. I decided to be nice and go get us lunch after I got there. This is what I found when I got back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took this picture to send to my Lawyer. I just thought I would worn everyone. Rob's not to be trusted with your parts. He will cut up anything!

Really? Was it something I said?

Anyone play with

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:28:45 -0400

I'm am looking for a good OBD2 PC based code reader. Money is no object(sort of), but the important thing is that it be able to read live data, and give me manufacturer specific codes, you know the ones that the $300.00 Crapsman scanners can't give you.

I found this one, and wondered if anyone had experience with it;

It seems after trying ever so hard to stay stuck in the 80s, that I now find myself working on more and more modern OBD2 equipped crap
