Tragically, the Yellow has catastrophic rust in the rear. I'm tempting to buy it for the parts though; he's telling me it has forged rods/pistons, a stage 1 clutch, replaced rear shocks/struts/springs, it had a BOV, a mixed hard/soft tubing, a piggyback of some kind, a pope header and 3" back...

thanks for your insight! I'm driving 2.5 hours to see a yellow 03.5 tomorrow, really hoping it's got good bones; the only other one up for sale is 7+ hours away or a Black Mica 03 with a busted engine.

There's a guy local to me selling a MSP 'for parts' he says it's complete but has no compression- he claims a likely blown HG but I recall the 2.0L's liked to throw rods. A Black Mica with 170K and a clean title/no accidents. I had an 00 ES and always wanted one of these cars; are they...

They do..It's called Ford C1. There are minor revisions between the two, but both use the same control Blade IRS and the same style macpherson strut up front.

thanks for that, it's cleared up most of my questions.

Nope. If I could transfer the lease or just out-right trade/sell it. I could throw-down a fat down payment on a 30 something hot-hatch and reduce my expenses by 70-80%. Doing so would relieve enough financial burden that I could move-on with some aspects of my life education and relationship...

The focus's only problem aesthetically for me is the rear and that center exhaust. Otherwise the car looks fantastic, I agree. I do also agree about the rarity of the car being a plus. As for aftermarket there's a lot of bolt-on support for the focus already. If I'm honest that's probably as...

So it's time to downsize, and glaring realities of asking this question in a Mazda forum aside, I'm hoping for some honest responses. I sat in a new focus st over the weekend and I thought I was sold, the recaro's hug you fantastically, the orange paint is appropriately loud, the interior and...

I really like the styling of this car. I mean, obviously, it's not as good as a fusion these days, but certinally better than all it's japanese brethren, and possibly better than the malibu. I also LOVE the fact that the MTX is both a 6 speed, and it's not banished to only the entry-level base...

There are mechanics that have owned B5 S4's and then there are those who have not.

psshhh.. that's the easy stuff. You would have been doing at least 1-2 powertrain removals annually. In any event, glad I persuaded you out of one.

I did my part for what it's worth. Basicly, I rambled on for 15minuites without letting him ask any questions when he said 'how about them B5 S4's?' Once I explained I had shoved 15K into the car and only had 280AWHP to show for it.. I think he got the point.

I think I saw him as I was leaving... :/ Gladd I bought lots of LCF600 from Keenan I guess.

So how many people actually showed up? also to tease those that didn't show (and missed the show) ....

Do 135's have the N54 or 55? Hope it wasn't turbo(s) or HPFP?
