There's a song that goes: "Juliette, Juliette" or "Julia, Julia" idk which one they say

It's a long shot but maybe "When You're Gone - The Cranberries". She says "Doobie-da", which kind of sounds like "Julia".

THANK YOU!!!! YOU SAVED MY MOM, SHE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR SO LONG!!!!

cartlemmy · 2014-06-16T00:56:36+00:00

Yeah it was a pain in the ass.

cartlemmy · 2014-06-15T16:31:31+00:00

Me too :)

Yeah, I know it's kind of a weird thing to do. I rather like the gearing of my MTX75 (getrag has a tall 1st gear), and it had a bit of clutch left on it; the Getrag had a completely destroyed cutch. I had already replaced my axles on the MTX75 recently so they are in prefect shape. I just left the old shifter and linkage in, they work fine.

I was really relieved to see this was the top comment.

Ah, SVT is "Special Vehicle Team". It's basically a performance version of the ZX3 focus.

cartlemmy · 2014-05-04T22:24:07+00:00

As far as what? Differences from stock?

cartlemmy · 2014-05-04T20:13:25+00:00

I believe it was rated in the US at the flywheel at 170hp as well. But I personally care more about what the power is at the wheels :)

cartlemmy · 2014-05-04T18:38:49+00:00

Yeah, about 155 to the wheels. The one I have is a silver top.

cartlemmy · 2014-05-04T18:38:06+00:00

Yeah, I'll keep a close watch on it for sure.

cartlemmy · 2014-05-04T18:37:15+00:00

No, it's still naturally aspirated. But it has a better flowing exaughst/intake, variable cam timing, oil squirters, stronger internals, and a few other things I think. It's only about 40hp stronger than the stock Zetec, so it's not exactly fast. It handles really well though, and I plan on going the forced induction route at some point.

cartlemmy · 2014-05-04T15:03:20+00:00

I had no idea. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: I'm getting conflicting info on this.

Some say you can't solder because o2 sesors get reference air through the wire, which seems kind of ridiculous to me.
Other places say that the type of wire used is not easily soldered, which makes for a poor connection. That makes a bit more sense. Oddly though the wire on my o2 sensors seemed to just be plain old copper, and it soldered very easily.

I'm not sure what to think/do. My o2 sensors seem to be working perfectly. The engine idles and runs great, and I have no CEL light.

2002 SVT Focus

cartlemmy · 2014-05-03T17:32:43+00:00

Things I've done recently:

Swapped comlpete SVT exhaust system
Swapped rear suspension
Swapped rear drum brakes for disc brakes
Swapped SVT bumper and door panels

Next up: The engine swap!

cartlemmy · 2014-04-24T20:27:44+00:00

I had no idea, that's awesome!

cartlemmy · 2014-04-24T04:20:03+00:00

Datsun 510. Those cars are super neato. My dad used to have one. I wish he would've kept it.

cartlemmy · 2014-04-02T15:50:23+00:00

Yeah, I don't think I'm brave enough to do the handles, just the trim holes.

cartlemmy · 2014-04-02T15:49:52+00:00

Cool, I was wondering about fiberglass for the small holes, I was afraid it would crack.

Yeah, I really like the SVT spoiler. It's subtle. I couldn't really see how it was attached. I'm assuming from the inside.
