Very Interested!

Yep,
Noobie here just checking in from MD. I'm very interested in trading in my 09 F-150 for a 2014 or 2015 Focus. Debating on whether to go the ST route or just a SE. Y'all are the pro's here and I'm just looking for some help...

Thanks,
FtrFocusOwnr [race]

Also, don't feel like you have to get a hatchback, many of us have been more than content with the sedan... It all depends on your needs...

Haha, I know, right? I would occasionally look through people's builds and search through threads for maintenance info. My first Focus was a 2005 Liquid Metal ZX3 SE, and my intent was to mod the hell out of it. Then I remembered that I didn't have the money, time, or desire...so looking was fine!

Yup had to drive an hour away to get a black one with the 5spd. See down here in the south, its all about trucks 'n stangs. you want a raptor? no problem, you've got ten to choose from. you want a hot hatch? you've got four to choose from, all DCT's in white or silver. you want an st? sorry, go drive to Kentucky, they've got one left.

Hey everyone!
My names Brendan, from Mississauga Ontario, down in Canada.
I drive a Candy Blue 2014 Focus SE.
Came about this group on Instagram actually, when I was looking into getting my Focus and decided once I got it I'd join up.

And here's a pic of my Focus (Bad quality pic due to an old iPhone and terrible lighting) before it got all covered in Ice & Snow.

Yup that's the Black Pack,
For me the Black Pack really made the Focus just pop with that extra flare and I just needed to get it. The Rims/Fog Bezels/Mirrors/Spoiler, all look so much sportier.

But getting it in Candy Blue with the Black Pack took a custom order since I couldn't find a single dealership which had one. I think the closest one was from a Province that no one really wants to deal with car-trade wise.

Hey Guys,
Finally made an account for this, Ive known about the website for a while though. I've used it to help fix some minor issues on my focus. btw, I drive a 03 zts. I used to hate it, but it's grown on me. Anyway, i figured i'd join to chat 'bout car junk. :p

No pictures, sorry Dx But, its just about the most stock ZTS you could imagine (or google images) It'll get better though ;)

Hey everybody, just got a '12 SE hatch, absolutely fell in love with this car and is by far the most fun Fwd car I've ever had. Haven't done a lot to it yet except AEM cai and some window deflectors and rally style mudflaps.
Here in a month or so I'll be posting some pics of an Eibach lowering kit and sway bars installation. Gotta get familiar with the forums first.

having trouble finding out how to upload a profile pic of my hatch too

Little update since I last posted here. Been through two Foci(focuses?) now. A 2000 SE sedan(manual), and most recently a 2002 SE Wagon(auto). Found myself the perfect combination today and am picking it up hopefully tomorrow. A 2003 SE manual wagon. Going to fix all the body damage on my 02 wagon and use it for a winter beater car. Been looking around at SVT wagon conversion threads and it seems like a difficult but fun project to do someday. Living where I have access to a do it yourself auto shop and detailing/body shop will provide me with a lot of resources in learning how it all works and get it all done cheaply. I'm going to try to remember to log on here more often now haha.

What a difficult time I'm having trying to use this web site. On 01-10-2015 I tried to log in about five or ten times with my user name and password - well that did not work - I then sent about five or ten messages to whom ever owns this site - and that did not work, so I re-registered with a new user name and password - PRESTO! That enabled me to look up some information I needed to fix my Ford Focus - Then I logged out. Later I tried to log in again, and was denied about five times - so I gave up.

Lucky I was able to contact a local FF member who sent me his telephone number - It looks like I am now 'IN' however I wanted to use my former user name instead of this user name ---- I don't know why it is so difficult to log in?

BTW I used to be known as Focus Fixer Too
