New To The Club - ThraxXx - 12-04-2004
Hello Everyone.
I will soon be a proud owner of a 2001 Ford Focus LX 4 Door Sedan. The car has a 2.0L Zetec Engine with a Manual 5 Speed Transmission. Car has 101,000KM's on it but it was owned by an older couple who woudl visit their kids in toronto. Car also comes wiht Power locks/remote locks, AC, Block heater and my favorite thing... A warranty.
Right now I drive a 1991 Ford Tempo. Great car and all but its taking too much to keep it on the road. What do you expect with a 13 year old car that was never intened to last longer then 5 years though.
Well I hope to meet and talk to alot of you. When I get the car I will post pics.

Thanks for the welcome all.
Actually I wasn't planning on doing too much to it. I was gonna install my Alpine head unit in it as its coming with a tape deck. Also dropping 2 12" infinity subs in the rear with a 1000watt amp to power them. I am also planning on replacing the stock speakers with better performing speakers...probably Focals.
As for exterior mods, I was thinking of replacing the headlights with those projector lights that I see alot of members here are sporting on their cars. As for engine...well I miht just leave it stock..maybe a cold air intake cuz I like that swoosh sound it makes but thats probably it.
This car is to replace the tempo which is my current daily driver. My other car is a 1988 Pontiac TransAm which I only drive in the summer.

Dude,
So this is what the other day's MSN convo was about? Welcome to Focus Canada, and welcome to the "extremely fun to drive 4-door" club. So, you're turning the Trans Am into a show-only car?
I'll MSN you / call you next week.
:D :ph34r:
Obviously you know who this is now!

Hey Logan...wusup. Yeah I am pretty much done sinking money into my tempo. Thing is a money pit...I already put over $1000 into the front end and now my engine decided that gasoline would be its next diet. I get about 160km's to a tank...costs me about $32 to fill it. So basically every 3 days I need to refill.
Also I really want a car with a manual transmission so I figured I would see what ford had in their used lot. I always loved the lines on the Ford Focus since they were first released.
