2004 Ford Focus Svt 3 Dr #1508 on 2040-cars
Reston, Virginia, United States

Up for sale is my 2004 svt focus 2dr with 125,000 miles. I bought it from a girl who bought the car in 2011, and got it bone stock other than exhaust. It has the audiophile system that works perfect. As you can see from the autocheck, I havent had the car very long. I absolutely love it, but I recently got a raise and will be driving into the city every day so I want a more comfy, newer DD.
so anyways, Someone at some point changed out the center muffler with a glass pack so it is a bit louder than stock. When I bought the car it had a valve cover leak and it had alot of vibrations in the car. So I replaced the valve cover and gaskets, did a tune up and replaced the motor mounts at this time. Afterwords, I noticed that the thermostat housing was leaking so I replaced it with CFM's upgraded housing and oem tstat. Coolant and oil were done at this time.
Shortly after I went ahead and replace the suspension with Apex springs, kyb struts, and also replaced the inner and outer tie rods. During the lowering install, I noticed that the passenger side CV shaft was ripped so I replaced it with a cardone A1 rebuilt unit. That was done a week later and as soon as I replaced it I noticed a vibration during acceleration occasionally. Might be caused by the lowering kit not sure. I was going to replace it with a OEM one but never got around to it.
Right after the suspension work, I had new tires and alignment performed. I noticed last week that the d/s rear control arm has a worn bushing, will need to be replaced at some point.
Im being up front about everything so there wont be any surprises at the time of purchase. I sold my svt contour on here and the guy who bought it was very happy with it. The car is a really clean, solid svt focus. Just needs a few small things to be 100%.. I drive it 500 miles per week, so its a reliable daily. Any clarification or if you want to talk about the car my cell is 703-269-8076.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
