Congratulations Leo ... nice looking car. Nice that it's got 16s too - that will help you out when doing your brake upgrades - you won't have to worry about getting new rims beforehand, unless of course you plan on keeping your Enkeis now.


RE: no more kona!! - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2011

i already have all parts but illl drive as-is for now.

RE: no more kona!! - OAC_Sparky - 02-28-2011

If you decide to keep your Enkeis I have tires that will fit.


RE: no more kona!! - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2011

sorry, i am not keeping enkei.


RE: no more kona!! possible build thread - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2011

i got bored today and checked out the hidden fuse at fuse block, omg why ford hid fuse at the back?
u never know by looking at fuse panel.

anyway, replaced it and unlock/lock worked, then pressed trunk and poped fuse.
checked hatch wires and found this out..
can't be any worse than this..

ditto... a few pieces of black electrical tape and haven't had a problem since.


RE: no more kona!! possible build thread - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2011

i had same problem on my kona, but it was only for wiper wires.

this time, i will run whole new wires..


RE: no more kona!! possible build thread - meford4u - 02-28-2011

Typical use of a piece of exercise equipment. What can I hang off it?


RE: no more kona!! possible build thread - konafocuswrc - 03-01-2011

RE: no more kona!! possible build thread - konafocuswrc - 03-01-2011

today, there wasn't much going on at the shop, so i removed hitch, looks better without it but now my focus looks like transport truck.

and recieved flat head white leds, so i can convert whole switches to lit white.
