Attn. ALL SVTC and Duratec owners

98.5 csvt
I drive it like I stole it
I broke the main shaft at 90k had a spec 6 tran for a 06 focus put in with a spec cluch and had the axels replaced at the same time
oil pan gasket is leaking Now at 128k but is dew to a aftermarket oil pan


A spark plug wire got cut by something so I replaced them with 9mm ford racing wires

And other than that nothing other then normal maintenance
 
2000 svtc

bought car with 83k miles on it, it now has 97k on it

I usually drive it pretty slow I get on it now and then, and autocross it about 5 times in the summer.

parts I have replaced since owning it

alternator- died around 90k biggest pita to replace!
spark plugs/wires- replaced a couple sets these seem to be pretty crappy on these cars
front wheel hubs- 87k miles
front tie rods/alingment- 93k miles
 
before my SVT I had a 99 Contour SE ATX from new.
Other than maintenance, the only issues were:
- steering rack leakage, forget the mileage but maybe 30k
- resistor for heater fan
 
My 99 SVT bought last year has 183000k (about 110,000 miles).
It's in great shape; probably time to clean up the UIM and LIM, needs lower control arms, sway bar bushings. Wouldn't hurt to change the axle seals.
