scottie.harris Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yea the hids are nice, very bright which is nice being that my 65mile round trip in the country commute is dark going home. as far as short throw shifter i dont think i will mainly because its just a dd.How often is the timing belt supposed to be changed? im not super maintence guy because this is my second car(first nice one) and my buick i didnt work on it unless it was needed. however this car i would like to be on top of maintence.btw buick is going to the scrap yard, traded into the dealer for 1k. they straight up told me its going to be scrapped and take anything i want from it(cd player, good set of rims+tires, ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvinzoom Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Had a standard focus zx3 5spd I bought new in 2001, did not have much luck with it and traded before warranty ran out but I would love to have one of the SVT's. It was a fun car when it wasn't at the dealer for recalls or warranty work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottie.harris Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Why anyone would put a wing on a hatch is beyond me, mine has a small one that you don't really notice and its functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 not sure when ford recomends the timing belt i did mine a 74k 100k is a common replacment interval even if its a dd the short throw is well worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester3681 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah, unless you know timing belt was done recently (12 mo, 12k miles), I'd do it. Money well spent on piece of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 short throw shifter will be the best thing you ever do to that car, daily driver or not. if i had a damn toyota corolla i would still invest in one....it makes such a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Jester-Is that how often it should be done regularly or just when I first get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 t-belt water pump plugs wires coolant flush every 100k and dontn be scared one of the easiest timing belts to do except for a geo metro w/o air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
