Haven't seen a thread here on sightings in TX, so I figured I'd start one. My most recent was this afternoon in Austin @ Burnet rd X Anderson ln a yellow ZX3 with black-as-night tint and a roughly 2 ft long drag wing. Whoever You are, nice ride![race]
Yeah, seems like I see alot of foci around Austin, but they're all being driven by hippies who are afraid ot increase their "carbon footprint" or just boring people who just wanna commute and nothing else. One bonus though: the current Austin g2g spot is like 1.5 miles away and last time or two was jumpin'. Ah well, I'll keep My ear to the tracks for awhile... btw got new pics of My ram air today, take a look, and tell Me if it looks right.
The last few shots of the breather (Blue Tube) coming out of the side of the AI after the cone is correct. Were did you fit it before that? Where did you get the Intake? Interesting looking ... looks like one of those from Auto Zone. But hey if it works it works.
Yeah myself and one of the foci drivers were thinking about taking a trip up to Austin for one of those meets ... but we are working on our cars first.
believe it or not it's a Bomz racing sr intake kit, got it from a friend for like $45. In the first few shots i had it going straight to the OEM hard plastic breather tube, but in the last couple, I did a few minor mods and attached the breather to the elbow just above the throttle bodt and capped off the "correct" hole, as there was already a hole where it is now attached.....
the hose is really soft LDPE so I'm htinking of getting a higher density hose that won't readily kink, as it was with the original setup. I think this was part of some universal CAI... All I know is now I have good compression, and decent pickup, considering. It now drives with the a/c on as well as it did pre-mod with the a/c off. Do You know of a way to grt around that damn hp leach and still use My a/c? I like the power but it gets too hot to drive all day w/o some cold air now and then.
Also Y'all are more than welcome to come up and hang out w/ Us an Austin. Justkeep an eye out for posts from SVTeric, He seems to be the one organizing these 2g2s here. The way I see it the more the merrier, it's mostly SVTs but more models show up every time!
Working feverishly to Make My FoFo get up and GoGo![wrenchin] [wrenchin] [wrenchin] [rant] [race]
well, most of the local ricers only look crazy @ Me, so F 'em... Just cruise downtown, say 6th & congress, but ppl(mostly rice) chill way down a the walmart on ben white & i35.
I couldn't say, most foci, as a rule are mom cars, and are driven as such... not much of a movement Here, sadly. We are trying to organize a weekly or bi-weekly g2g on either sat or sun nights, but nothing solid yet...
Oh, btw, I finished My sr intake...
i use to live at university commons off of riverside, and every saturday night at the old randels(sp?) it was pretty rice-tastic. dumb asses doing do-nuts and shit. it has been a yr since i lived there though so i dont know what else is around there.
lowzx3=rest in pieces.... Jeremy's foci was totaled by a lady in a lexus... he actually moved to Midland... he's on here everynow and then.
that black roush was not mine though... i think you texted me at 730 that morning asking if it was....
FOCUS...Rally Inspired!<--- I wholeheartedly agree.
BTW I didn't get a chance to read the lic#, but that could be the one.
Heading for San Marcos today... If Ya see Me, say 'hey!'.
yeah thats the main reason why i moved, my car got broken into and they stole EVERYTHING. tried to steal my class ring but i guess dropped it on the way out of the car. then it rained the next day so yeah, my car was soaked.
San Antonio:
well, i've seen a slightly modded CD Silver SVT with a center dual exhaust at the UIW parking lot in
a 03 Sonic Blue SVT with 18"s or 19" gloss yellow wheels with a plolished lip around Hildebrand
and once, i saw an 05+ sedan with some major body work/kit. it looked like it was white with black on the rear (not done w/ body work im guessing?) i wish i could have got a closer look... i saw it on the corner of my eye while i was driving on fredericksburg Rd
i think thats about it! lol
if you see me, flash your lights, honk, or wave at me! [^]
That reminds Me. Yesterday I saw a ZX4 (I think. It was moving and I wasn't, but it was a sedan) cd silver with silver tint and a stubby antenna as well as Euro OEM tails, very clean, getting on 183 Here
spotted a silver zx3 with tint and black rims with a chrome lip. on westheimer rd, like 30 minutes ago. had flowery stuff hanging from the rear view mirror. dunno if it was a girl or not.
sometimes i see this black zx5 with rims and tint and some kind of body kit in pasadena. its close to where tukanisvt is always at so if u read this raymond then maybe u seen it
