smithyandco Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Well the Focus didn't sell on eBay after "Selling" about 5 times.So we've taken the plunge and taken it off his hands! http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/22803.jpgMore pics: HERE Will probably get some more pictures soon... Car details: 1.6l Zetec-S, 3 door etc etc... It's a Mk1 Focus basically Handles ok considering the HUGE wheels... Plenty of power for A-B but not much else. Plans:De-chav it a bit... That snow plough for a start followed by the skirts.Bucket seats are a pain in the arse! They need replacing.The exhaust is embarrassingly loud so that's going!Paint job has grown on us... it's one of those that offends the eye at first but then you grow to like. The wheels might stay... depends if I can convince the mrs to get rid or not... Repair all the bodge jobs (this will keep us busy for hours!) Major faults (in no order):Driver window currently held up by a plank of wood... The mech is ruined.Left indicator doesn't work correctly when headlights are on... Left headlight only comes on with the indicator - Assuming there is a short somewhere.Typical Zetec idle issues... MAF has been fitted the wrong way around even though there is a HUGE arrow stating "Air Flow" plus I'm assuming ICV issues?Doesn't like speed bumps with rear passengers Fuel economy (I'm assuming the dodgy air filter and decat "straight through" exhaust isn't helping here)And here it is on Forza 3... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/24027.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/24028.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about 50BHP at the minute my 03 reg zetec made 99bhp on paper out the showroom when I bought it (new) but less than 2 weeks later it came back with 92bhp on the same showrooms service garage RR..... and they actually said that was higher than the average on a new mk1.5 focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithyandco Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Phils Missus here! Would you all kindly stop taking the P*ss outta my beloved cars! Shawdreamer, Leave my Punto alone, she is very very poorly at the minute, and if she hears your cruel comments they may just finish her off once and for all When my brother had it, it became the Michael Jackson of cars - not for the amazing performance from it, but simply the fact that every time I saw it, it was a different colour..........and now its dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
