SVT Focus
-
That switch disables it to the point that any wheels spin under 25mph is slowed down with the breaks until wheel spin is done. Its stated right in your owners manual. I have a switch in mine that turns it off completely... can do huge smoky burn outs now and everything without bogging... can burn through 2nd gear smoking.
Peace!

I havent mounted it yet but im going to drill a small hole into my fuse panel and mount it there... when I go in for warranty service im going to un hook the switch and just tell them it was for something like underbody lights or of the such. The switch doesnt do anything to mess with your car but im sure they would use it as a reason to void your warranty. And the wiring is one thing you really dont want to mess with along with the ECU thank god we only have to reflash our ECUs and not switch them out.
Ill make you one up and get it to you some time... perhaps this weekend!
Peace!

Stock for the time being... Im not sure but I think I already have some problems with it im bringing it in sat to have them check it out and see if any codes come up. I have some money put aside for mods for the spring. I found someone with a slightly used JRSC for the SVT for $1500 with a 2.4 pulley for 8.5psi. Im probably going to try and pick that up soon and let it sit in my basement so I can stare at it until spring.
What color is yours and what you have from factory and for mods?
Peace!

mine is bone stock i was think of putting a CAI and AFC in it when the warrenty goes up which is a year from now, but yeah its a 03 red, have the traction control, heated seats and mirrors, audiophile 9006, typical SVT. Did you see that saleen focus up at luther by fleet farm, it ZX3 that is modded up, has the 2.3 and it comes factory with a 75 shot kinda wondering why they didn't do that to the SVT would have made more sense. i was thinkin eventually going with a turbo, i was look online when i first bought it and they want 4500 for a SC for the SVT, and the turbo kit was only 2500-3000. your supposed to gain i think 100 whp with the SC though.

There is only 1 good turbo kit made for the SVT and thats from focus-power.com and its $5800 with tuning and everything. 240whp off 9psi on pump gas. The Vortec gets you to 240whp for around $4000 and thats without tuning. Get a diablo predator or the SCT tuner once its out for our cars and you can see close to 260+whp for another $500-$700 or take it to a dyno and have it tuned.
The Saleen N20 focus is a joke... $25,000 for a yellow riced out focus with a HUGE wing. It has the crappy regular focus interior with some momo seats up front... the 5-speed... small stock front disk breaks and rear drums... thats crap. Sure its putting out 150 some hp and 150 some tq but the nitrous set up is crap. The nitrous is a 75hp wet shot thats set up like an intercooler shot but its shooting into an aluminum radiator. I wouldnt pay even what I paid brand new for my SVT which was $17,500.
The Roush is a joke too $27,000 for an insanely riced out focus with even less power then the Saleen.
The SVT "was" the best focus for the money and the dumb assholes at ford decided to pull the plug on it. But their allowing crap like the Roush and Saleen focus' to be built and a much larger price tag put on them? Idiots!
-
i haven't seen the Roush. but yeah i agree with the saleen me and my roomates were talkin about that all it is is a zx3 with a 75 shot to it with bunch look good parts on it, i don't know why they didn't it to the SVT at least would have a getrag and all around disks
-

-
well what place wouldnt??
