Granted I didnt have a 42" plasma on my dash, but thats gay anyways.
Hello All - habmann - 06-11-2008
100k shoulda almost got him the AWD rally version of the focus no?
And the 42" plasma is like a hi-tech sticker but better and thus adds way more horsepower :lol:

Turbo setup was ~4k with tuning, then blew up the motor, $300 for engine hoist, $400 for new engine.
Im not counting suspension, exterior/interior appearance mods, but I'm no where near 100K :P :lol:
Just dropped another $900 to powdercoat my header and change the turbo to a 16G (old one was a TD05, 14B)

Your showing me factory boosted cars. I already bought one of those. :P
Im talking about putting together a 200+ WHP focus...you know...having fun putting together a machine that not too many people have. Nevermind, you dont know half the fun involved in it. you take the easy way out by buying a beemer and calling it a day. :P :lol:

Naz, buying stock cars and not doing anything to them or with them is not considered a hobby.....
