That looseness in the front end is probably mostly cowl shake and over-assisted powersteering (which I found somewhat annoying). not to mention they're speed limited to about 180-190 just put the top down and enjoy the drive.

Focus. - 05-26-2006 Yes I am enjoying the top down portion of the car. Sitting on the DVP @ 5 o'clock gets me the much appreciated Vitamin D that we all need. But as for the rest of it. This thing is a nose heavy boat. The wheel is very light and it pushes in the corners. I have my fingers crossed that I get a call from the body shop tomorrow afternoon. I want my car back. I Was Hit This Morning. - Focus man. Focus. - 05-27-2006 I called the body shop and they said it should be done by late this afternoon. I hope its finnished today, I can't handle this rental anymore. I found out this morning that the front drivers window leaks by the side mirror. NICE. I Was Hit This Morning. - Focus man. Focus. - 05-28-2006 Ba$t@rds!!!!! My car isn't going to be ready until Monday. WTF They have had it since Tuesday and there wasn't that much damage. But oh well the weather is perfect for the confvertable. I just am getting car sick. I want my Focus back. :( I Was Hit This Morning. - Focus man. Focus. - 05-31-2006 HORAY!!!!!! Finally I can say I got my car back. It looks the same as it did before the Mazda 3 love tap. It only took 6 days for the body shop to do tht little bit of body work. But it is good. I was at the Masiv Monday meet last night and for those that looked they all said it was good work. I am happy with the result but I think the body shop was crusing around in my car. When I dropped it off it had 3/4 of a tank of gas. When i picked it up it had less than a 1/4. I should have taken down the KM's when I put it in the shop, but I forgot. Oh well my baby is home.

Except you can't do that :lol: There's anti-siphoning technology on the Focus (as there has been on most cars produced since, 1999 IIRC) NefCanuck I Was Hit This Morning. - ANTHONYD - 05-31-2006 I think this thread has run it's course!
