$3,495.00 for a short ram air intake, exhaust, One pipe, tune, and badges???? FAIL...
Scuse me? Ummm, the tune for the win. Did you see the video?
Power:
• 445 bhp @ 5,400 rpm
• 415 lb-ft torque @ 3,000 rpm
Performance:
• 0 - 60 mph: 4.3 sec.
• 1/4 mile: 12.8 @ 109 mph
Damn near as fast as the Shelby Mustangs.
How much is a Shelby? 55k? How much is a Hennessey SHO? 47k? Way more passenger room and comforts. Better looking IMO.
TnFocus 04-23-2010, 04:40 PM Getting the car loaded and headed to the track.. wish me luck.

TnFocus 04-24-2010, 12:52 PM My local track reopened, but the car started acting up after I pulled it off the trailer and got it ready. Sucked I didn't get to run. Went out to pull it off the trailer and it fire right up... Then I got the cops called on me by some douche bag. Saying I woke her up with it. I was like: "Woman, its 12:30. I work nights and I'm up this early, thats bad when your kids are up before you." Cops never shown up yet.
focusin 04-24-2010, 06:04 PM Bad news, good news, bad news!
Bad, I got a screw in my tire today right as I was leaving work in a hurry to go to dinner.
Good I work at a tire place and was able to patch the tire.
Bad I scuffed the paint on my wheel dismounting it!
Its very little but still I had all four wheels perfect until today!
TnFocus 04-24-2010, 06:36 PM Sucks Jon.
Cops showed up. They were chill about the situation, because I know the laws lol. No noise ordinance. And I explained to them I was like which would be better. Unloading it when I got home last night at 11:00pm or this evening. They were like yea, we understand. As long as your respectful we really can't do anything.
Turns out she called them telling them that I was up here revving it up, and I said yea, its got a stall so I do have to rev it up to move it.
stoopidsteve87 04-24-2010, 07:56 PM haha gotta love people who just want to complain and be pricks.
had an experience last night with a similar female. my gf's grandmother's birthday, so we all went out to longhorns for dinner. that family is obsessed with the place, going there for nearly each one of their birthdays as thats about the only time they really go out for dinner.
so kim's brother's fiance, deziree (sp? whatever idc) decides its her night to be embarrassing. first, she has to specifically order a water with FOUR lemon slices. this had to be said 2-3 times, FOUR lemon slices. whatever. so our food comes out. well instantly she notices her baked potato only has LIKE 5 PIECES OF CHEESE ON IT. so she's got to point this out when asking for more, "um...this only has like 5 pieces of cheese, can i get some more?"
after sitting there for several minutes, she realizes that the 8 oz sirloin she ordered actually appears to be a 16 oz t-bone. yeah, took some time to figure it out. she's actually right on this one, she'd ordered a sirloin. waitress takes it back. manager comes out like 5 minutes later, says they'll give her the t-bone at the sirloin price. its brought back. she starts into it before turning all disgusted and insisting to the table that it's not medium-rare. that steak was no more than medium, it looked great. she's just a stupid, complaining bitch.
oh, this is all after she'd gone outside for 10 minutes to change the baby's diaper, because apparently no one else at the table that's nearly finished eating is qualified to do it while she catches up and eats. so the steak is horribly cooked wrong apparently. then the check comes out. upon taking her own look at it, she figures its wrong. "let me see it, I'M A WAITRESS." so she convinces everyone it's wrong and still has an extra t-bone listed. waitress comes out, explains it to her. it's listed as a t-bone still, yes, but the differences is deducted at the bottom. well this moron is still confused. waitress gets the manager.
the whole time dez is going on. about something. it was a frickin' embarrassment. stupid frickin' people that just try to find something to bitch about. that steak was cooked more medium-rare than my medium-rare sirloin. it looked great. and god forbid, she just knows everything about a check and restaurant because "i'm a waitress" stupid whore.
*end rant* lol
TnFocus 04-24-2010, 08:39 PM The only thing that pissed me off about that woman calling on me was the fact she walked up to my cousins house and tried to get them to call. Guess the sayin's true. Bloods thicker than water.

I would have been so Pissed. I actually was in that type of situation but I said something. I will not be associated with someone like that.... That is One of my biggest pet peeves the other is people leaving carts in the parking lot. I want to throw the cart at there car. Those two things are seriously my worst.
Jacob... Egg her house.. :) JK... Im glad my neighbors arent like that.
gump1114 04-25-2010, 01:36 AM Yeah for real, I've been riding around with the dump open in my exhaust for about a week now. No complaints. We've had giant parties with cars lined down both sides of the road, drunk people All out in The front yard, and still no cops called.
warneej 04-25-2010, 08:15 AM DeSoto parade was last night. Absolutely ridiculous. They close down the main 4+lane road in bradenton (which happens to be in front of my house) and fill it with ppl getting wasted. 160+ floats, most of which were pirate ships and stuff throwing beads. Amazing drunk night- beads, beers, and boobs.

WUGcatsvt 04-25-2010, 02:35 PM I really need some help:
Found to sets of wheels.
Both team Dynamics: And Im torn..
First a set of 15'' Team Dynamic Pro race 2.1 with 205/50 Re-11r tires
http://www.vivaperformance.com/catalog/images/pro_race_12_2.jpg
And then a set of 16'' Team Dynamics Pro Race 2 with 215/40 Azeni tires
http://www.wheelheaven.co.uk/admin/uploaded_photos/25_product_1_big.jpg
Both wheels and tires will cost the same..
Pros and Cons..... The Pro race 2.1s are my favorite style.. But I really want 16s instead of 15s because I can fit a wider tire on them. The pro race 2.1s come with a better tire as well...
I need some feedback. These are for autox..
gump1114 04-25-2010, 04:50 PM option a... better looking wheel, and a better tire.
warneej 04-25-2010, 06:13 PM Also option A. That 15 will clear your brakes?
WUGcatsvt 04-25-2010, 06:42 PM The 15s will clear
warneej 04-25-2010, 06:49 PM Def. Although I would like those in 16 or 17 better.
WUGcatsvt 04-25-2010, 06:52 PM ^^I would to, thats why I did buy them immediately. I dont like the fact that I cant run a 215 size tire. This is a hard choice.

Why can you not run a 215 tire? Class rules?

slocussvt 04-26-2010, 12:43 AM yeah let me know. i put in for a vacation day for that night so i should be good to hang out if you guys want. and you know if need be you're welcome to crash at my place... though there isn't a spare bed so you'd need an air mattress or something ha-ha.
May take you up on that offer. Stevie will be heading here saturday and i'll see if he wants to go as well.
Sounds like you're not keeping your wife happy[poke]
Jeremy, as long as you're mixing SVT Infrared I need my front and rear bumpers painted. How long would you need the car? (No damage just crappy paint on the back and some chips on the front)
Few days, 3 tops, just let me know.
Anyone sign up for carlisle yet? I probably will very soon. Oh and I wonder if Ken will pop in after this post. J/k Ken.
I will tomorrow night after i get bills paid.

Yea, I'll probably sign up this week. I just realized how close it is. Is there going to be a caravan forum for this like ff? I kinda wanna roll with someone again.

Jacob... Egg her house.. :) JK... Im glad my neighbors arent like that.
yeah, well i bit my tongue pretty well most of the time at the restaurant, as it was kim's family i was there with, but even they quickly grew tired of her mess. she's quickly wearing out her welcome, though since she's the baby's mother...yeah...she's gotten away with it so far.
and lazy people leaving their carts in the middle of the parking lot ftl. its just laziness. worse yet are the ones that just leave carts all jumbled at the front of the store RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REST OF THE CARTS. would it have been too much work to put it where it goes? 5 feet away?!
man, i've frickin' had it with school and rotc bull. much of this ranting is a resort of me just being irritated with that shit here. lazy people who think they can do whatever the hell they want.
Daniel, those wheels are frickin' hot. get the second set though! lol
gump1114 04-26-2010, 08:48 AM I cant find a 215 size tire for a 15'' wheel

You better sign up this week and I'm not just saying that. Pre-Registration for Roll-In Registration (Bypassing the Registration Building) ends this coming Monday (May 3rd). Otherwise you will have to stop at the registration building (like last year) and get checked in there and miss the EPIC roll in of all the Fofo's at once! Plus you get to be the one that everyone points and laughs at as we all roll-in together and you have to stop at Registration [hihi]
Plus also you save $10 by pre-registering. [thumb]

stoopidsteve87 04-27-2010, 07:42 PM gf still looking for a car. came across an 02 focus zts not too far away. only 67k miles, asking only $3500. she called and talked to the guy a little, seems legit. as far as the body, he said its got a few scratches but otherwise is straight. assuming it hasn't been wrecked, sounds like a great find.
anything specific to look for when checking out an older focus??
TnFocus 04-27-2010, 08:30 PM Posted via FF Mobile make sure it's had it's recalls done
gump1114 04-27-2010, 10:06 PM Posted via FF Mobile make sure it's had it's recalls done
even thats not a huge deal since the dealerships should still take care of those.
warneej 04-28-2010, 06:40 AM look for paint overspray and things out of place to tell if its been wrecked. If its an 02 ask if its had an alternator to see if its similar to dan's lol.
TnFocus 04-28-2010, 06:52 AM even thats not a huge deal since the dealerships should still take care of those.
Ya never no. My ex-gf bought one and the ignition hadn't been fixed and locked up.

focusin 05-03-2010, 03:57 PM Only been at work for 2 months now and I'm already to tell them all to shove it.
For two months I have been working till 7pm and every Saturday, then they claim the "low man on the totem poll" bullshit. I was talking to the one other "GMT" there who I am supposed to be able to swap shifts (2 weeks openings/2 weeks closing) and alternating Saturdays. He told me he had a deal with the Store manager to work early and have Saturdays off and thats what he is set at. They NEVER [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]g told me that shit, they actually said I would have a Saturday a month and a Monday off every now and then so I can have two days in a row off (currently off Tuesdays) and have not gotten jack shit of that deal. So someone opens their mouth that I was pissed about the schedule (the manager knows that I'm pissed over a week ago) and now he decides to threaten my job if I "bring down the moral" of the guys in the shop.
So anyway I see this whole job going nowhere fast, everyone there has the "I'm not doing it" mentality so I get stuck with this crap and now the guy who I'm supposed to work with is being a titty baby b/c I actually have ONE day (today) where I got off at 3 while the rest of the week it's till 7!!
On the search for a job again unless this crap gets straight, I won't be leaving until a new one is found but I know I won't stay and take this shit.

i didnt pay for it, and the picture wasnt taken by the track. It was taken by Chad Bee of www.chadbeephotography.com . he sent that one to me free, but said if i want larger copies i have to pay for them.

You need to post some up. Was it a fox body pulling the wheels?
I want that so badly, but it's not going to happen soon. Because I'm running a IRS rear and not enough stall. I figure bottle, stall, and rear end it will raise right up.

Yea its a 1992 coupe and if i can find the pic to download i will.Its not big air but its not bad for a street car.It does help when you got N20, 3:73's, ET Streets,and 520 FT pounds of TQ to the rear wheels ;)

I'm almost tempted to throw a set of slicks on it. That rear end is suppose to hold up really well but, idk about those circumstances haha. Which it wouldn't be bad if it were a solid axle. I'm running a 4.10 and LSD. It would hook like no other, but it wouldn't last long.
I think if I keep this car, and I intend to. It will become a money pit over the years. haha.

My ST170 headlights came in and Im piecing them together. I just bought new Team Dynamics wheels (uber expensive), Putting in Royal Purple gear oil in today. Buying new tires for Autox and Street, And just bought 2 corbeau seat harnesses for me and my girl for Autox. This car will not be getting anything else for a VERY long time.

well not to mention also that's a first gen... but yes there is a huge difference in look between a base neon and srt. I dont think there is as much of an aggressive difference between the base and svt focus.
and yes that is SDR, i only live about 30 min from it.
focusin 05-05-2010, 07:22 PM Believe it or not a SVT stands out so much more than even a modded regular ZX3 like mine, the way the front bumper molds with the rest of the car makes more of a statement.

TnFocus 05-07-2010, 05:14 PM Question for the suspension guys. My rx7 has a power steering rack, but the people disconnected and clamped the inlet and outlets hoses shut. The problem is it, steers horrible. Driving down the road, the steering wheel is just so light to the touch. Idk if its that and I need to swap to a manual steering rack, or if its just the added weight. What would fix it?
^^ It's hard to go from a ford to another car. The feeling is just all wrong.

And I think I figured out what's up with the car. It looks to be somewhere in the range of 3-8 negative degree of camber. Basically its riding on the edge of the wheel. So I figure ill get the best I can for now so that I can drive it. And take it to the shop sometime soon.
Easy fix for that. Always turn. Scrub the tires when in traffic. No one likes cold tires anyways.

sctrooperlx 05-11-2010, 10:33 AM wow hate to hear that Dani^^Good luck on the sale!!, or you could trade it in on a 2010 mustang Gt they have 0% for 60months and with the 2011 coming out you can get a hell of a deal on them.I stopped at gene evans yesterday and got a price on one.they need to get rid of the 2010 mustang pretty bad...
ShugarL0 05-11-2010, 10:55 AM how much? .... i cant afford anything over 20k tho :(
stoopidsteve87 05-11-2010, 12:41 PM why selling? and yeah, i'm sure any place that's still got a 2010 would love to get rid of it lol i know they recently still had one, maybe two on the lot here downtown.

WUGcatsvt 05-11-2010, 02:53 PM how much? .... i cant afford anything over 20k tho :(
Looking at Trucks??? Toyota Taco FTW :) TRD of course
So I am retarded. I got my ST170s in from england and I got a VW plug and some other stuff to make them plug and play and when to put them together and realized I only bought enough stuff to do one plug. I didnt even think about it when buying them. Oh well. I will have to wait because Im running out of funding. I may sale these for 500 and keep my current headlights. My current lights have AMAZING output.
focusin 05-11-2010, 03:11 PM Just hold off until you can buy the other plug setup, the ST170's would look great on your car.
I was looking at toyota Tacoma's (still am TBH) for a while, I like them but I think I'd rather just wait another year or two and buy a used 09-10 F150 with a 5.4.
ShugarL0 05-11-2010, 03:37 PM Im not selling the grille...
no wait.. i will sell it to you for $6500 :)

TnFocus 05-12-2010, 07:18 AM Good luck selling your svt Danielle. And Jon, sucks you aint coming to FR.
In other news. Picked up my F22A1 Honda motor yesterday. Think I'm just gonna fix it and sell it. Getting ready to go full swing into contracting for myself and the mines. And I also started draining the fluid and disconnecting everything on the tranny. It's gonna be a beast to pull with the motor still in the car, but its the easiest way.
And Jon and Ken, and whoever else could see this as a good idea. We need a build forum. I know we have engine swaps and what not, but I think it would help attract some non-foci people to the site. All the current builds are just scattered. 03OrangeSVT had his bug in gen chat I think. Awesome builds going on in FI chat. Crap I post up and make yall sit through lol. Oh and mikebontoft's got a great one going on in engine swap forum.
sctrooperlx 05-12-2010, 08:25 AM how much? .... i cant afford anything over 20k tho :(
you could get a used GT for around 20 or a new v-6, seen one there for 16k brand new.

stoopidsteve87 05-12-2010, 08:41 PM i've always loved the tacomas, never been much of a tundra fan though. and that's a hot tundra for sure.
and thank god you said that danielle, as i completely agree, a v6 mustang just ain't right. save the money till you can get a v8 lol though the new 300+ hp v6 isn't a wimp by any means...
build thread [thumb]
so i've found someone to sublease my apartment for thel ast 2 months of my lease, over the summer while i can't/won't be here anyways. even after the ridiculous $200 fee the leasing office is charging me for walking in the door with someone, i'm still saving nearly $500...now the debate... spend it on the bike for the exhaust i want, then go on and spend a few hundred more and bob the bike out like i wanna do, and have a pretty sweet little custom-looking bike...
or spend it on the car. cf hood? euro rear? lol
305hpV6 THATS WHY!!!
LOL
It COULD tow a bike.
The new V6 mustang is friggin awesome. It turns better than a Miata, gets better gas mileage than her SVT, and twice the power. I'm with jonny and the guys when it comes to the new mustang. But any other, other than the high end ones is failsauce. Sync too. Ja.
If that's not your bag, then you have the GT... can you say 5.0?
TnFocus 05-12-2010, 10:09 PM [i]Posted via FF Mobile[/i. I want a bike like yours Steve. It's gorgeous.
stoopidsteve87 05-12-2010, 10:53 PM my bike in its current form, stock + saddlebags, windshield, backrest/luggage rack/bag. i've pretty well fallen in love with the bike since getting it. wanted a 650 custom, sportier with the bobbed rear fender, but had found this one at the dealer and didn't want to pass it up seeing as it was loaded with all this stuff.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh21/stoopidsteve87/My%20Car/DSC01333.jpg
anyways, for about $1000 total, and a little work, it'll look like this come the end of the summer, other than the fact it'll still be stock black.

the windshield will definitely be coming off for everyday use, but i'm considering replacing it completely either with a full fairing w/ quick-disconnect brackets, or what I'm really wanting to do is custom-mount a buell blast windscreen on it. of course, now that i'm saying this, i can't find a picture of one of the custom bikes i've seen sporting one, but it adds a really sporty look for sure.
for any one into the bobber style bikes, check out www.bluecollarbobbers.com they've got some pretty good looking bikes they've built and some awesome customer bikes, that's where i'll be getting most everything from.

Yea they might make some halfway decent cars and trucks but i would rather keep my american dollars over here for us and not over in ching chang chong ville.I myself like to keep working and not send jobs overseas for them to profit from.Thats whats wrong with this country now IMO but you know what they say about that.[thumb]

sctrooperlx 05-13-2010, 03:15 PM Yeah cause the plant in Cali that's makes them hasn't created any US jobs....
yea but where is the big profit money going^^ you can bet its not here in usa.Same way it is for this KIA plant they just built down here.Only reason why they are building them here is because we give them a tax free break for like the first 10 years they are here, and they get out of paying the tarriff fee of having them shipped over here .Thats why they are talking about shutting down the one in montgomery and moving everything up here.Time is almost up down there so they are talking about moving all the production up here to avoid the taxes they will have to start paying. Bottom line is when the companys main base is overseas thats where the big money goes.I might be wrong but thats how i see it.Only other real way to help out is if we do equal trade you buy from us as much as we buy from you. But like i said everybody has there own opinion, I myself just dont like imports and im brand loyal till the end but thats just me.
TnFocus 05-13-2010, 04:01 PM Split it with someone, I think Danielle and Jeremy were looking to split costs but I could be wrong.

warneej 05-14-2010, 08:11 PM how long ago that happen?
slocussvt 05-14-2010, 11:22 PM Below is what we have on the website as the rate:
This is what it says here on FF.
I will not be able to accept payment for your room. You must CALL the hotel and register with your credit card. Please do not go to the website. You will not be able to get the discounted rate if you book online. When you call the hotel, tell them that you are with the car club "Focus Rising" and you will get the discount rate. Make sure you are told what the rate is. Verify the rate they give you with the rate that I list below.
$121.48 will be the cost of each room. This figure is what you will pay out the door. This price includes tax. Im sure you can find a hotel cheaper than this. I dont care if you can. Thus i dont want to see any posts regarding the price of this hotel or any posts that include prices from other hotels.
My room was $128.xx for the whole weekend with two queen beds. I don't get why it says $120 per night on the FR site.
And Shelby, that sucks man, but at least you were able to find the thief. Now you can [nutkick][hatchet][smackbum][slap] the mother f'er.

Woot for me. Got the transmission pulled from the car yesterday in an hour. Got it on the work bench. Took it apart today and as suspected 3rd/rev clutch pack was burnt up. Everything else in great shape. Going to take the case to the machine shop monday to have it hot tanked, and order my trans kit sometime next week. Should have a transmission that can stand more than 600hp/tq even tho I wont need it ,but you never know on the bottle. Plus it will be manual/automatic so its gonna be a great bracket car. Maybe this time I wont loose to someone by .0004 GRR Jeremy lol.

2 rooms should be enough so that'll work. And you shouldn't have lifted, lol.
Correct the 121.48 is the rate, read the prior sentence. Not sure how you are paying $128 something for the entire weekend, something doesn't seem right there.
I'll call them tomorrow and double check. I may be wrong.
TnFocus 05-17-2010, 12:32 AM Posted via FF Mobile. Yea I know, but oh well. The setup with the rx7 will be a killer at bracket racing.

slocussvt 05-17-2010, 08:17 PM Ok, to set things about Carlisle straight, finally. I called them a second ago to check on my room. It's $111.96 plus tax (which comes to the $121.48 w/tax) PER NIGHT which came to a grand total of $244.08 out the door, tax and all. Sorry for the confusion, i could have sworn the lady i talked to said $128 for the weekend but i guess she meant per night.
