How do you edit your signature block? I obviously have done it, but I can't seem to find out how I did in the past...sigh. I need to update my car list. Thanks, Mike

Got my ST yesterday, and I'm still learning it. It is such a nice car - wow! I will take my first road trip with it next Friday - to Nashville from the Mississippi Coast - and I'm really looking forward to it. It is SO red, just like my SVT Focus was. Cheers, Mike

I got the VIN for my Focus ST yesterday and apparently will hear about the delivery week tomorrow some time. So, I will soon be officially offering my 2002 SVT Focus for sale. I really hate selling Reba (she's red), but I will just have too many vehicles once the ST arrives. Sure hope I like the...

I've been searching the Forum and have not seen a lot of activity recently, but I'm going to ask my questions anyway. I have a 2002 SVTF that I bought new and intend to keep. I retired her in 2011 and bought a used Cadillac CTS V, but every time I drive the Focus, it makes me smile, something...

I'm not much of a contributor on forums, but I appreciate you folks who are regular contributors. I've always gotten good information here, and I hope I ask worthy questions - ones that will benefit more than just me. So, I'm back for more advice. I'm about to replace my daily ride, a...

OK, I'm going to have to admit that I wasn't paying attention. I attended the SVT Homecoming with my 2002 SVT Focus. While I was there, and in the garage, I talked about my car with one of the SVT guys. When he heard that I had 112K miles, he asked if I had replaced the xyz. I tried to pay...

Hi Folks: I've searched for posts about fog lights, but I've not seen any about the problem I've had. The driver side fog light lens has broken twice. The first time was about a year or so after I bought my SVT Focus in November 2002 (it's an '02). I took it in to the dealer, who initially...

I swear that when I first joined there was an FAQ page, and now I can't find it...sigh...:shrug: So, I've decided to buy an L - not sure if it will be Gen 1 or Gen 2. There's a great '93 with low mileage, but it's pretty far from south Mississippi. And there's a Gen 2 I've found in NoVA...

...Lightning. Couple questions, please. Where is the best place to look for them? Cars.com is useless, and other sites I've found don't let me contact the seller...:shrug: What problems should I look for in a Gen 2 Lightning? I'm an SVT enthusiast - I've now got a Focus. I live in...

Anybody want a 6 CD changer? I figure $25 will cover the cost of mailing it plus insurance. I now have a nice Kenwood in my dash and have removed the stuck CD (the instructions on this forum were great!) I have no use for this thing, but if anyone out there rebuilds them, there is...

Anyone have any advice on how to get a stuck CD out of the 6-CD changer? I know it's in there, because I put it there. But the CD changer says there's no CD in the player. It did some other strange things this trip, so I suspect the comments I've heard from others about problems with the...

I'm not new to my SVTF (bought new in 2002), but I'm pretty new to the board. I drove to Vermont from Virginia last week and as I got near VT, I heard a very odd noise - first I thought it was related to the stuck CD in the 6-CD changer (see my other post on that issue), because it was a...

Hoooahhh! A very red SVT Focus came home with me last night. Can't tell ya'll how happy that makes me...:D
