So I FINALLY bought a car.

Here it is. (sorry for the crappy quality, forgot my tripod and had to steady myself against nothing and it was windy and I had to change ISO settings etc etc)

Definately sweet, drove it around a bit tonight, had to get used to the whole 5-speed instead of automagic. Didn't take long, but just figured it'd be nice to do before I took it out during the day with people on the roads.

22B Rex? O_O

2.5 RS ? cuz that's what it is. I dunno what a 22B Rex is, I assume it's some nickname for a motor. But as my sig says, I've never even changed my own oil before.

You dont know how good of a choice you made picking that instead of the focus.

I'm jealous.

Dont waste throwing a turbo on it. Just do a ful WRX/STI Swap. 96 2.5RS with WRX swap:

STI - t3h sex.

If you have the cheddar, don't waste time with the Rex's 2.0L engine. It's nice, but the extra power-making capacity of the STI's 2.5L will make you very, VERY happy... if absolute power is your goal.

Nice, do yourself a favour and leave it alone: you've already got about as much HP as a SVT, more torque than a SVT, AWD and it wieghs just 200lbs more than a normal Focus. In short it is the AWD SVT Focus everyone has wanted all these years.

Nice car I always wanted a 2.5 RS blue with the gold wheels.

THat's a great all around car perfect for bother summer and winter!

Nice find.
I have a few cars.

One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
