What is the first thing you guys are going to do when you take out the focus the first time???
Me, if everything goes well Im going to go straight to Flofocus place and install my turbo..:)!!! And they go cruising!
Mine's been on the road all winter. First thing Im doing is getting the front bumper and side skirts fixed..
I'll probably replace the filter on the ol' vortech.. give it a fresh one after driving all winter on the muddy and salted roads.
When I pulled into the garage I noticed that I was low on gas. So, when I take my focus back on the road in 10 minutes I'll be filling it with gas.
Well tommorow I'll prolly get a car wash done regardless the temp as it's damn dirty from all this winter driving :D
Spring plans, everything working out health wise is a Steeda CAI & MBRP exhaust (and a trip to DaSilva's dyno to see what I've actually gained spending that coin :P)
That and I'm seriously thinking the Ford Ext warranty. This latest glitch may have been caused by the mechanics putting everything together from the last time the car was laid up, but I'm getting nervous <_<

Now I'd love to see that, the best machines here in S. Ontario, quarter mile @ Cayuga on a Friday night maybe? Loser buys the winner's beer? ;)
Would be interesting to see (Only way I participate is if I take you on with you driving the truck... and you have it loaded down :P)

by that time, my car will be 30lbs lighter (driver modifications) and better tuned than it was before... and with better rubber....
and the aeordynamic drag of your wide body should offset my whaletail...
has your car ever seen over 140lbs of torque? :P
Well i've been driving me focus all winter, so i won't be doing anything special on the first day of spring or whatever it be. My plan tho is to finsh paying off my computer, which should be around mid feb then buying all the rest of the compenents(moniter, mouse,speakers,keyboard) stuff like that..but after that the mod list goes as such
-Fix remaing scratches&dents
-new front bumper(eruo most likely)
-new stero
-new buckets for front, and get backs custom made to match.
and that's about all i had planned this year. oh and if the money is good this year, i'll try for some new headers....maybe.
Clutch
Quaife
Elec Boost controller
Fiberglass some bracket covers (for the corbeau seat brackets)
Some more tuning
Then hopefully hit the track and get the damn thing in the 13's (High 12's would be nice with 12psi :P )
....and installing Eric's turbo :P
Did you get it yet? :huh:
Hopefully mine wont be on the road after tomorrow... I feel sorry for the poor guy who buys it.
so with the new car...
Intake,
Exhaust
Short Shifter
install the gages left from my focus
Stereo.
and maybe... some suspension work.
Park the focus and get a newer summer car.
Not sure what to get tho. Thinking of a Mustang, Maxima, WRXSTI, or maybe a Focus ST or Fusion.

all depends on cash flows in the new year.
I'd say keep the Focus and buy a house, then rent the basement to Shane... THEN get a Focus ST or WRX used off a lease.
