also the thermostat housing will probualy leak
that piece of ----!!!!
replaced my sisters t-stat housing twice
thought origonal mechanic over torqued the first one, t wrenched the second, it cracked, went slightly less on the third it also died.
Buddy found me a ss replacement
in the focus's defense it was in an older mercury "Mistake"(same 2.0 ztec dohc), perhaps ford did something in the later models, though not likely

90-93 Accord is a much better choice if you can find one for cheap. Id say it depended on the year focus or neon, they are both pretty bad

i bought a slammed black Neon Rt (165 hp engine) with a black widow body kit and wheels for 400 ------- dollars because it needed a fuel pump. spent a total of 540 dollars on it.

that ****** was fun as hell to drive, chirped 2nd gear

then i flipped it going 120 mph. (i have pictures)

the neon is a more reliable car, and easier to fix than the ------- ford. i hate ford its the design of imbreeds.

dude a friend of mine rallied a neon every day and raced every car that came near him (yeah he was "that guy" lol). he out ran the cops in a neon and a yellow shirt so ever sonce then i can honestly say that i will trust a neon to bail me out of a tuff situation.

if you want to hear the story read on, if not read the next post.......





ok, so some guy a week earlier at his school had a gsr teg that thought he was the ----, he said somethign about his neon beating his *** and the gsr owner laughed (as would i). a week later on a saturday night........well i had my scanner on me that night and was cruising around talking to frinds and just seeing whats up, had my chic with me. we stopped at a parking lot to say whats up to some friends. my friend in th eneon pulls up talking ---- about the gsr and how he never showed up. i tell him that he's a kid and it happens and not to count on anything till its set in stone.....he leaves after abit and me and my chic go up the road to the movie store to rent a video. when we get back in we ar in the middle of a car chace mon the scanner, straight though town. we notice that they arent around us anymore and start on our way home. officer says something about a neon at 90mph through red lights, i'm like "holy ---- thats nuts". we continue to my house and hear top speed of 110 down 16th Ave (i live off of that), it's a 35MHP zone all the way down. well they turn on a road near a frien of mines house and i'm like "what the ----?", starting to think it could be my friend. ends up ditchign the car and hoppiong fences and getting to my friends house. cops call out dogs and ---- and never find him. dumb *** left his student ID on his key chain which was in the car.


they made up some story abou thow he left it to get the brakes done and the machanic forgot the keys in it and stole it but somehow didn't report it stolen til a few hours after wards. anyways he got away from the cops in a neon so i will never doubt them again.

rreason for chase: him and GSR lined up at stop light and took off, both were even till shift to 3rd, friend looked over to see himself pulling the GSR and by how much, looked forward and assholled a minivan. being 15 without a license he decided to run with a busted radiator and all.


Cliff's notes:
got away but i still punched him in the buts because he thought it was cool
