If You Could Start Over On Your Focus? - FociPhil - 07-21-2005
I was thinking about this a littlw while ago.
If you could start over on your focus, sort of wipe the slate clean, what would change?
I would left my car with the WW lip kit, and started a Turbo build. I feel like a idiot doing the damn saleen kit, and all the other garbage, when i could be boosted and probly have the best suspension set-up.
I am actually considering selling this one, and getting a stock ZX3 used, to do this.
Anybody else?

im still fresh, gonna take it as far as it can go N/A without building up my motor. exterior wise jsut rims and a drop, no kit (i say that now...) then when i finish school depending where i am financially wise, either boost the focus or move on to new car with better performance then the focus. alot better!!!

Bah. Not even buy this car. I would have got at least one with the ZTEC engine.
But since I'm stuck with this thing. I probably wish I would have gotten the SPI shorty header before Focus Central would have discontinued production.

If I could start over I would have gotten a manual, oh wait I DID start over ;)
When I started over I just did full exhaust and forced induction, the rest was just left over crap from my old focus.
Next up is suspension and more boost.....

I would have started the exact same wayI did...full suspension kit.
then...better tires.
then...custom turbo kit with proper tuning.
done.

I wouldnt have bought the WW mid-wing.. but I've since gotten rid of it anyway so it's like I started over. And probably gotten the FK suspension kit when it was on sale..
But I havent really done a lot of stuff, for lack of money.. so if ever I find a giant sum of money, I dont really have to start over, I just need to "start" ;)

I've been going in the direction so far that I would be from the start...however, I think that next time, I'd buy the window tint asap, and then start with the other things. I don't know If I wanna buy a ZX4 ST as my next one, or if I wanna wait and see if the C1 Platform Focus from europe gets brought over here. I just hope that if they do, they don't monkey around with close to 200 hp, or just above it...they need a car that is like 230 hp this time to even put a foot in the door with the competition...
Anyways, yeah, same direction as I've taken now...stereo and mild bolt-on's here and there when budget allows...

Zetec sedan, 5-speed, every bolt-on under the sun, PnP, and a S/C kit.
In other words, getting there now with the wrong engine and tranny, and short one S/C kit :P
