Kevin M Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 okay kids here is a video. The stock batt is fine. It needs a good charge though. I sat with the lights on in the Walgreens parking lot trying to chase down the problem so it was bound to be a little low. I do need to put my kinetiks in but I need some side posts for them unless they go on their sides. I've just been dragging ass due to a large rebuild coming soon. I will put up another vid when it gets running this afternoon. I checked all the connections I could get my hands on and all of them are tight. There isn't any problems with the firewall grommets either so I hope it was a one shot deal. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
Kevin M Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Posted July 20, 2012 I thought I got away clean with the fuse but its never that easy. After rechecking all my grounds and connection points I still couldn't get it to start. I had it towed to the garage. So with the replacement of the starter and the 2 towing fees this grand adventure comes to around $470. Isn't that just awesome. Took the wind right out of my sails and set the rebuild back a few months. Its whatever I guess. Lol 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
RooTxBeeR Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Holy crap dude that sucks, my car broke down not to long ago, cost me a paycheck and set everything back a while to. Hope you get it going good soon, want to trade demos again soon.

Rebel4055 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 I bet you could have replaced that starter in 10 minutes lol. If it's the motor I'm thinking of. Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/

Kevin M Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 I hadn't made a vid in a while so I figured I would try out some of those new decaf tracks. These are my favorite so far. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
Born_Again Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 I just spent the last few hours reading this thread and I enjoyed it. You must have a secure place to park your car at work if you don't have tinted windows with a wall. Any noise ordanace violation tickets yet, since you're so visable?
