Up for auction is my 2003 SVT Ford Focus.  This is the 5 door ZX5 version which is a bit harder to find.  I am the second owner of this SVT.   The focus currently has 228,000 miles on it.  These miles are mostly hwy miles as I drive a lot for work.   I have used Synthetic oil for all my oil changes as did the previous owner.   Though the car has high miles it runs great and has a lot of life yet.  This car is stock and was not abused or raced.  Below I will go through some of the pluses and minuses the car has.   Please email me with any questions.  The car is located in Baton Rouge, LA and I can pick up the buyer at either the Baton Rouge or New Orleans airport.   The car is sold with no warranty.   If you want any other pictures just drop me a note.  


Body
The paint overall is in very good condition.   As with any car with this mileage it has rock chips on the hood and bumper.  The rear bumper does have an issue with the clear coat peeling.  I have included a picture of the rear bumper for you.  This recently happened and not sure why.  One of the two fog lights has cracks due to a rock.  

Engine
The engine runs great.   The Focus will have a fresh oil change for the new buyer.  The timing belt was last changed at 137,400 miles.  It will be due soon at 237,400.   For peace of mind the buyer may want to do it earlier.  I already have all the parts and they will be included with the car.  The only known issue with the engine is a very small coolant leak from the thermostat housing.  Though this is a common Focus issue the housing and thermostat are brand new.   Not sure why this small leak comes and goes.  The water pump was changed at 180,000 miles.  

Transmission
There are no issues with the transmission.  The clutch was changed at 180,000 miles.  It is the Getrag 6 speed manual transmission and shifts as it should.  It has the typical Getrag clutch rattle at idle which is just how they are made.  

Brakes
Brakes are true.  I put on EBC green pads last year.

Interior 
Interior is clean and free from tears.  The seats are clean and in good condition.  The 6 disc cd changer works and it has the subwoofer in the trunk.   Every once in awhile the radio screen dims and then comes back.  All of the steering wheel controls work.  The sunroof works as it should.

Suspension 
I replaced all of the shocks and struts around 170,000 miles.  I replaced the originals with the same OEM SVT package.   The tires have 80 % life left and are Kumhos.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Ford reveals 345-horsepower output for new Focus RS [w/video]

Thu, Jun 25 2015

When Ford revealed the new Focus RS at the Geneva Motor Show, it promised it would deliver "well in excess of 315 horsepower." It didn't say exactly how much that would come to, but now it has. On the eve of its dynamic debut at the hands of Ken Block at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ford has confirmed that its new hot hatch will pack 350 metric horsepower. Those reaching for their calculators will find that works out to 345 horsepower by our standards. The power output is backed up by 324 pound-feet of torque, capable of being boosted up to 347 for up to fifteen seconds at a time. Those figures come from a retuned version of the same 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo four as the one available in the Mustang, but produces over ten percent more power thanks to a new turbocharger, upgraded intake and exhaust, and a larger radiator. All that muscle will be channeled to all four wheels through Ford Performance's new all-wheel drive system with dynamic torque vectoring, launch control, and selectable drive modes, including a Drift Mode that (as you can see from the video below) allows the hot hatch to get more than a little sideways. Ford still isn't saying what those specs will translate to in terms of measurable performance figures, but as far as output goes, things are looking pretty good. The 30th Ford RS model already packs more power and torque than the new Honda Civic Type R (306 hp, 295 lb-ft), Volkswagen Golf R (292 hp, 280 lb-ft), Subaru WRX STI (305 hp, 290 lb-ft) or the Nurburgring-conquering Renault Megane 275 Trophy-R (271 hp, 266 lb-ft) and Seat Leon Cupra (276 hp, 258 lb-ft). It even respectably holds its own against the more upscale BMW M235i (320 hp, 330 lb-ft), Mercedes A45/CLA45 AMG (355 hp, 332 lb-ft), and Audi RS3 (362 hp, 343 lb-ft). Whether it'll outshine them all in real-world conditions remains to be seen, but we're looking forward to finding out whenever Ford deems fit to drops those performance stats on us.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
