The 2004 FOCUS WAGON SEMA CONVERSION
This wagon began as an early 2004 Focus SE with the new 2.3L Cosworth Ford Duratec 4 Cylinder aluminum engine. Jeff Biane decided to customize this car for the 2004 SEMA show with the help of Ford and a several sponsors. The purpose was to showcase the Cosworth and Ford SVT parts unique to the Ford Focus. The result is a one of a kind vehicle that could have rolled off the Ford assembly line with specialty parts from SVT and Cosworth. The wagon was completely disassembled including removing all the glass, doors and interior. The body was painted Competition Orange. A new interior was created with unique seat covering, door, dash and roof panels, and new carpeting. Exterior panels include Focus SVT front fascia with Euro grill. Euro ST 170 SVT headlights light the way. The rear fascia was fabricated from a Focus SVT center panel and extended to fit the wagon. Side rocker panels, trim and doors handles were modified and painted the body color. Ford Euro 17 x 7" Dark Argent SVT wheels were added. The Cosworth Stage 3 engine upgrade includes the unique Cosworth intake manifold, large tube exhaust header and high lift intake and exhaust cams assembled on a custom ported DOHC cylinder head. The ECU was re-flashed to take advantage of the improved breathing capacity of the engine. The 2.5" exhaust has an SVT center exhaust outlet. Dyno tested at 205 HP at the wheels. There is a small rear main seal oil leak. The 5 speed was rebuilt at ~35k miles with new bearings and synchros. The 3.42 final drive differential gears have been replaced with a 4.06 set and a Torsen torque biasing differential was added. An aluminum flywheel and Ford Centerforce clutch were also installed at time of rebuild. The chassis has upgraded KW springs, shocks, front struts and larger rear anti-roll bar which combine to provide excellent handling. BAER Racing 13.5", 4 piston caliper front brakes and SVT Focus rear disks provide great stopping power. The unique Cosworth NA engine and transmission upgrades far exceed the SVT Focus and created a uniquely special vehicle. This car has trophied at every car show event I have entered. It has never seen snow and looks like new. Modified drive train is still docile on the street. Quick for a 4 banger. 0 - 60 under 7 seconds.

A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
