Hey guys I also have a Diablosport racing computer chip for a ford focus. The chip can be tuned to different modes. It was on my car for less than 2 weeks. Comes in box with instructions, the sticker was never even removed from the chip so it still has it on it. If you get the chip I would take it to Dallas Mustang, or USA motorsports and have them tune it for your setup. I paid over $300 for the chip, ill sell it for $100.00

Also I have an Oil Return Catch can for a ford focus, it was on my car for like 3 weeks if that.....

$30

and that Diablo chip can only be tuned at USA motorsports.

thanks for the hookup on the header, i may be interested in the diablo but not until after i get my exhaust. im gonna get a 2.5" resonated borla setup from trubendz. i also gonna get a 2.5" flex but im not sure what my options are, other than trubendz.

Whats going on fellas! I just bought my Focus, have pics uploaded in the showroom section. Anyway, I plan on lowering, after searching I found out I can lower up to 1.4 inches and not replace dampers. So I might try that for a lil while...whats your thoughts on that?

And I would like to meet up with you one day and look at the cars and get some ideas. As long as you all are cool and all, just looking for a car club, not a gang or buncha posers.

But after reading some of this thread, you guys seem cool.

Hey Tim, I'm over in Mesquite a few nights a week and saturdays for awhile, I just changed out my wheels for ones powdercoated to match the paint, grey zx3 with grey wheels, SVT (black) headlights, and a big Punisher logo in the rear glass. If you wanna meet up at the starbucks across from Town East some night, just drop me a PM.

There were guys handing out flyers for a new meet that is starting up at Broadway and Walnut in Garland on friday nights, I'll check and see if anyone went last week and see how it was, lots of space, they had mudbugs for $2.99 a pound too.

eazyrider_tim
06-13-2005, 05:29 PM

[welcome] whats going on Tim and welcome. Everyone here is cool, no worries of posers or bangers here. We need to all get 2gether soon. Its been a long while since I've seen my fellow enthusiasts.So whats going on this weekend everyone? I wouldnt mind heading over to Garland to check out the meet up there Friday.

06-13-2005, 07:09 PM

06-13-2005, 08:49 PM
Friday night or sometime Saturday would be good for me. Sunday is our anniversary so I'll be busy all day. Hey Keith, What the hell is a mudbug?[confused]

Dragwn
06-13-2005, 10:48 PM
Jr..hehe a Mudbug is a Lousiana speciality..crawdaddies..kinda like shrimp, but ya bite off the tails and suck da heads..if I could eat shellfish, I'd be all about some mudbugs from what people have told me...they are an acquired tatse though, ya like em or ya don't.

Getting together Saturday could work too..my GF already told someone who asked her to work their shift, that she had a "Focus thing" to go to. Maybe we can get a central place to meet for food....Has anyone else here been to Freebirds? (An aTm tradition) or maybe the Angry Dog on Commerce in Ellum, during the day it's cool, for Lousiana food that's pretty good there is the Crescent City Cafe on Commerce also

Lemme know, I'll let my GF know there really is a Focus GtG on saturday.

fallacious_focus
06-13-2005, 11:59 PM
damn you people and your weekends, i gotta work saturday (1-10). i am up for the friday meet though, that would be really cool to go to if we could get a group of like 5+ of us to arrive together.

Dragwn
06-14-2005, 12:41 AM
It would be a group recon on that gathering..I haven't heard if it was big or a flop yet.

fallacious_focus
06-14-2005, 01:51 AM
well lets plan on it being good and go from there. if it wasnt good we call eachother and either cancel entirely or just meet up for food or something. i like meeting at starbucks as that provides drinks beforehand, and they are usually easy to find. not entirely sure what is near walnut and broadway as i am not in garland very much anymore. i may head out that way for a little recon today if time provides.

also, keith, im getting my volant tomorrow and hopefully a fc 65mm tb later on in the week. then the mission is to acquire a 2.5" resonated catback for the sedan and a 2.5" flex.

06-14-2005, 07:48 AM
I'm waiting to hear back from a guy on a Bosal exhaust, going to be getting my UDP soon and SVT front brakes, I want to get a set of coil-overs and be done with suspension for awhile. The guy handing out flyers for the friday thing was out at the Plano thursday gathering, best to get there around 9pm seems like now.

06-14-2005, 09:46 AM
I'm up for friday or saturday know a couple other focus owners who could show up

06-14-2005, 11:18 AM

06-14-2005, 04:31 PM
I need some help installing my svt springs I ordered today, should be here Thursday. Anybody done it before? I might have it covered, I just don't wanna screw up my new ride ya know.

And I would love to get it done and then meet up with you guys. My wife's sister is in town, and I have a couple girls going with us that need somebody nice to grind on the dancefloor Sat night. We are going to Uropa, let me know if anybody wanna get tipsy Sat night......AFTER the meet or whatever...

eazyrider_tim
06-14-2005, 05:54 PM
I got an email a sec ago from a guy saying the SVT springs I just ordered will not fit my zx4, crap....is that true or is the guy just being a dic*?

And I sure would love the help man. I have a 2 car garage and a 2 ton jack....thats about it, I can buy jackstands and whatever else you think we need.

I just pm'd you my number, thanks.

jzrgarza
06-14-2005, 07:15 PM
I was about to ask if those springs were gonna fit your car, I had my doubts but you never know. Could we get some conformation? I'm down with the Friday night thing so count me in. I could meet up with some of you guys during the week since I get off so early, just can't stay out til all hours of the night. Who else is going Friday? Taylor?Pete?Jon?Raymond, where you at bro??

TM3
06-14-2005, 11:53 PM
Jon and myself might show up...just depends on what time/place its at. I havent heard from Raymond in some time....have you talked to him lately JR? Last I talked to him he told me he got a new job at a shop (SFX Performance?) I cant quite remember the name.

jzrgarza
06-15-2005, 03:03 PM
I havent heard from him either. I imagine Pete is still pretty busy with work. What kind of shop is he working at?

TM3
06-15-2005, 05:13 PM
Some sort of performance shop. When I talked to him last he said they had two Foci in there having some work done. Thats about as much as I know.

Friday Night Meet Map (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4122+Broadway+Blvd,+Garland,+TX+75043&spn=0.025513,0.057031&hl=en)

Here is a map to the friday night thing. Flyer says "Friday Night Car Meet Special""No Tax on All Items""

So, how many do we have then? And where do we want to meet up? I remember the guy saying something about 7pm start, so getting there fashionably late at about 8pm sound good?

eazyrider_tim
06-16-2005, 02:59 PM
You work at Sport City Toyota off 635/Oates ??? You don't check your pm's much do you ya man, lol.

I'm in! And the springs will fit my 05', I ordered them from Steve at a Ford parts up north. I can't find the page here now, but they were only 80.73.......I paid extra for overnight shipping, and will have them in the a.m.

Whats the name of this place again, I printed the map out though.

Dragwn
06-16-2005, 07:35 PM
It's the Starlite Cafe, kinda a small place, but they have a parkinglot next door to them that can be used and a retail lot across the street, they seemed really up on having people show, nice to see enthusiasm.

jzrgarza
06-16-2005, 07:42 PM
cool, I'll be at my brothers house off of Northwest & 30 around 7 so I wont be too far from the rendezvous. Hey Tim glad to hear the springs will fit your ride. You wouldnt think these cars changed that much that they wouldnt work. Man now I gotta wash my filthy ass car before tomorrow night.

Hey Taylor, you and Jon gonna come out? You're about as far away from the meet as I am. You might actually be a little closer.

If anyone wants to..we can meet up at say the Starbucks across from Town East Mall, and go over as a group. I'll just plan on being over at that Starbucks around 7pm, should give me enough time to make it home, clean my car up and head that direction.

handling is great, boby roll almost gone, and looks 300% better. I can make the next meet though.

I am looking for the same thing!!

the rollers are only 300 bucks

thefrush has one that he rents but he wants 300 shipped to him you pay for shipping then he pay for shiopping back then he sends you 250 back so it's like 75 bucks includiong shipping.

I have been trying to find one locally for a long tiime now. unable to. you figure with all the stinking shops around someplace would rent one!! keep me informed caus ei am willing to pay half or whatever, I was thinking of trying to get everyone in DD to pitch in for it and have it as a "club" tool but seems nobody else needed one

hey no problem man,

well there is a lip on the inside of the wheel well, for me when i lowered my car my tires rub the fender wall, so by rolling the fenders using a tool like this

Fender roller (http://www.bmw-m.net/Gallery/haweka.htm)


You would heat up the paint with a heat gun and then gently "roll" the lip tight against the body to eliminate the rubbing. granted we do not have a HUGE lip in our wheel well but enough to make a differance when rolled

hope this helps

eazyrider_tim
06-23-2005, 02:50 PM
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thats what that it. On our mini trucks, we just used wood blocks, and a linear jack, and we just the blocks on the paint covered in a towel, then jack until it bowed the rear tubs out a bit........but it wasn't a perfect method.

Thats why most mini trucks are s-10's because they come with flare like wheel wells stock. But also why most minitrucks go thru beds like water, that and they screw up shaving crap.


anywho.......I would have made the last meet but I was swapping springs, I can meet up with you guys for a spell Friday night! Since I don't look stock anymore, I wouldn't feel out of place.

From your side of Mesquite Tim you can either come north past 30 on Beltline which turns into Broadway, it's on the right just past Oates, or go over to 30 east, exit beltline, go left for Broadway. It is right where Broadway takes a dogleg to the left.

ford can not void your warranty unless they can prove that the aftermarket part is what caused the part failure, besides now you know a couple of ford techs all I can say is
"what aftermarket parts I dont see any after market parts"

^^ Well not necessarily. Once you've fiddled with it and installed it a few times, you'll eventually be able to breeze through it. Soon you'll be able to take it on and off in a matter of minutes. Thats how it was on my intake. The first two times it took me a little time to get everything together, but now I can dissasemble and assemble the intake in about 45 seconds.

most ford dealers are only going to look at aftermarket parts for a catastrophic failure, engine knock, hole in the side of a block or worse, if you have a cold air intake and then have a engine light on with mas air flow codes they will probable tell you its your fault. the gauze filters that you put oil in can cause maf damage if you over oil it, the oil gets on the "hot" wire and can short it out or give the pcm a bad signal. so just be careful and don't over oil the filter

most of the parts are claimed by my wife, she gets the exhaust, svt springs, svt wheels, and my system seems fair trade since I get the svt?

i dont know if they still do, but tirerack used to rent out fender rollers for $30 plus round trip shipping. i dont know if they still do this but if you give them a call im sure theyd let you know, from what ive heard thier customer service it top-notch.

The meet was actually really cool, I stayed longer than I had planned. After me chasing a ghost towards downtown, we met up and did a couple freestyle runs.

Lets just say, I have a lot of practing on my launches to do. Got owned, twice....but the second time I tried doing the brake, then rev to 2000, then took off....I think I need to rev higher to launch.....but it got better than that first run.

Good job Jason. I couldn't go to sleep after that. :(

And Josh and Aaron had a run also before a car came along.....anywho...it was pretty cool!

I'll post the pics I took momentarily.
