This car is in Excellent Condition, inside and out. I listed many NEW things that were added replaced or upgraded at the beginning of the CONDITION section. There are a few paint chips that have been filled in with the appropriate color-matched paint...the only thing missing is clear coat to be added to those minor paint touch-ups. The tires only have about 6,000 miles on them. The car came with yellow wheels but I decided to go back to the OEM SVT wheels instead, which makes the car more valuable (You'll see them in the photos). Many people do not realize that this car came with many things that the regular FOCUS did not have. The engine was reworked by COSWORTH (World Famous for making Formula 1 Race Engines) to increase horsepower from 134 to 172. Plus they added a Variable Valve intake cam, gave it stiffer lifter springs and bigger valves. The Focus also comes with a lowered suspension. Also this is the only Focus to have 4 wheel disc brakes for years 2002-04. The other Focus cars had drum brakes on the rear and smaller discs on the front. I just replaced the original TOKICO struts with Ford Racing struts upfront and the Ford Racing shocks in back (all 4 came as a kit, so they're perfectly matched). The A/C went out about 4 weeks ago, so I had the Compressor and Extractor (Condensor) and pressure valves replaced. The Catalytic converter went out about 18 months ago, so I upgraded it to a low restriction Borla designed catalytic converter and had the entire exhaust reworked. It now has a deep throaty sound but not obnoxiously loud like some of those other tuner mufflers.... It really produces a unique exotic sound, kind of European. You were probably wondering why my price is high on this car... Well, for one, it is the rarest variant of that year SVT Focus....I included the website link in the previous CONDITION section. Secondly, I have replaced and upgraded several things on this car, so it performs better than new. Once you drive it, you'll see it is a unique performance car that keeps your adrenaline pumping. It has really tight handling and is very responsive. As a bonus, I'll also include a silver "Sensoro" brand radar detector ($150.00 value) (works great...you'll need it. It has saved me from several tickets), and a special limited edition sunshade for the inside windshield that matches color of car. Finally, what makes this stand apart from a regular Focus is that it comes with HID headlights. Back in 2003, not all of the Focus SVT's came with the HID headlights. It was a dealer optional upgrade. This Focus has them.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
Ford Australia goes miniature with Beachkhana 1.0 video
Tue, Mar 3 2015Ken Block's Gymkhana franchise may have started with Subaru, but it's most closely associated with Ford, which the rally star joined way back in 2010. That fruitful partnership has spawned a number of Gymkhanas, and Block even showed up to help introduce the new Focus RS. To honor this, Ford Australia has come up with an adorable parody (for lack of a better word), starring the hero Sun Block. Rather than a full-scale rally Fiesta piloted by a Vegemite-munching Aussie, though, Ford of Oz has gone tiny for its tribute. Really tiny. The product is Beachkhana 1.0 – Wild on the Beaches of Australia, is a funky little stop-motion feature using tiny, 1:43-scale cars in much the same manner as Mr. Block drives his Fiesta rally car. It even pokes some fun at Mercedes-Benz's hilarious Magic Body Control ad. Check it out.
