Random pics (that you took) thread...

Sorry for the delay in responding, been busy these past few days. It goes like this:

'00/'07: Mk1 sedans, wagons, hatchbacks with Zetec 2.0/2.3 & Duratec 2.0/2.3 engines including SVT, Zx4/Zx5's, Roush/Saleen models.

'08/'11: Mk2 sedans and coupes with the Duratec 2.0, manual transmission in some models, most are auto w/4F27E's. First year '08's don't have certain features because they were just introduced. '09 and up have them and some are as fancy with a moonroof, heated seats, ect. The Mazda3 is a compatible car and shares parts with it, alot is the same bolt on except for the rims (4x108 Focus vs 5x108 M3)

'12 and current: Mk3 which is the sedans, hatchbacks, ST's and RS's with the dreaded DCT bulk chit, RS/ST and a few come in manual but even the manual is crap too.

00-04 was 2.0 split port Sohc or zetec dohc. Zetec only came in 2.0. 2.3 duratec debuted in 03. Svt was 02-04 with a 2.0 zetec built by cosworth england and was 6 speed only.

05-07 2.0 and 2.3 duratec only. 2.3 mated with a 5 speed and in the st trim only. St trim in 4 door sedan only. Svt trim dropped

08-11 2.3 dropped. 2.0 duratec only. Wagon trim and hatchback dropped. Only 2 door coup and 4 door sedan.

This is where i lost interest in the focus.

12 up. 2.0 GDI engine on all trims. 5 speed or DCT. 2 door dropped. Hatchback returns in a 4 door. Sedan in 4 door. St trim returns with a ecoboost 2.0 and 5? Speed and hatch only.. RS trim comes to America. 2.0 ecoboost, 6 speed, AWD, recaro interior. In a hatch only

Are you guys saying I should buy a 05-07 with the 2.3 liter Duratec?

My personal preference: Mk2 2.0 08-11 [emoji41] add a CAI, lunchbox delete and upgraded throttle body for starters and you'll have a slick little sedan, or coupe if you like 2 doors

Ok, I'll take a look for that. I have an older Volkswagen Jetta that's getting tired. I'm keeping my Tacoma 4x4 but just like having a smaller car to zip around in.

Awesome. You'll love it, my sedan can haul a lot. Add a roof rack= you're set. Can tow 2,200lbs.

This is the coupe. They are not as common as sedans.

Here's some pics of my Focus loaded down. You can fit a LOT in them!

Went out and did some cutting this morning with my boy. Lots of downed ash trees in the bush.
Was just pickin on small stuff today. Used the dolmar 420 and the boy had his poulan /husky which ran like crap. He had to get his echo out to finish the load with me.

Mine's the 2.0 GTI non-turbo. It's peppy enough but I'd like something with a little more pep. It's been a good car - I've had it for just over
five years.

Nice. Then you'll love the Duratec 2.0. I love it, best 4cyl engine ever made imo. I've had my Focus about 5 years, put over 65k miles on it in 5 years!

Finding a 2.3 05-07 will be hard to find a nice one. Just were not alot of them. They also get poor mileage. I had an 05 2.0 with a 5 speed and the best i could do is 29mpg average. The 2.3 is worse.

The 08-11 have variable valve timing so that helps alot for efficiency. Still have the regular automatic reliability.

So Andrew expects me to port this little ole thang. This is the 420 Donormar's cylinder(in great shape) with my booger finger resting halfway in it. That's how tiny these Dolmars are. To the right you can see the lightened flywheel.

And the cute lil dual ported exhaust goin on to it.

Looking forward to this build Wes if you need any bits give us a shout

Finished up that nasty water damaged ceiling today. We did a trey ceiling and add some can lights. We did all the work hanging finishing and paint.View attachment 213902View attachment 213903 View attachment 213904View attachment 213905

My Grandsons helped me dig a load of Black Walnut and Mulberry out from the wood lot across the street from me, and we brought it to their house. Most of it was cut last year, but the 044 cut some more of it up today.

They still need more, but they kept telling me they did not want to do it earlier. There is some nice Oak and Maple in the back, not in this pic, but they need more.

This was this morning, lots of water in the field
Got a 461 together form the leftover bin, it’s ugly but running good with a new piston, 185psi
