NEVER had a real build thread on this forum....I want to take you on a summerized history before we get down with the build....
2004-05 The Early Years:
After my tour in Iraq, I was quick to jump on this SVT. It wasn't long before I added a cold air intake. The sound of the air being sucked in was real nice. I few months later I joined FocusFanatics and Fj online communities, to learn more about my car.
One of the popular mods for the SVT was replacing the R13 relay with a jumper wire so that you did not have to turn on the head-lights when you want to use the fog-lights. Replacing the fog-light bulbs with Hoen H10s made out nice. An order all the way from France was Morette's tail lights. I didn't like the OEM lights as it messed up the roof-line flow for me...
I dont follow build threads that often. I have the upmost respect for you. For what you went through and waht you are doing now. Good luck with everything and good luck on the future recovery
Appreciate you looking. This really isn't just my project now. It's for all that have donated, helping build my car for me, and like others said....inspiration to not to stop what you love doing just because of paralysis. [race]

[pray]....epic build. I have one question now since u are going all out. Are u making a right hand drive RS or a normal lhd? That would be awesome to have a RHD RS!!!!!!
Or in this case, over your head [grinking] Sept 18th they should be by to install the front end. Within the next 2 weeks (if plans are good) Jim should be by to pick up the car to start with everything else.
Im missing a few things though.
ATX ECU, CPS, & Harnesses <- Very Critical!
Fuel Injectors & FPR
Jared's 4" Exhaust
.82 Tial SS Turbo Housing
great thread. while it's definitely a concise build thread, not sure i've ever seen it so tightly put together. usually i see r&d / trial...perhaps error.
love the photos and vids are great too!
I've had the Focus for 8 years now. Just, being in the communities, I've learned about what works and what not. The major portion is done, which is the engine build. Fairly broken in now, I think it's ready for some turbo upgrades, and a few changes.
It's definitely an invasion I've had for quite a while, with only my quadriplegia creating a bump and extra expenses. Thanks to eveyone that donated, I can put forth that to the driving controls.
It might seem like I have a lot of money, when in truth these parts were being collected since 2007. Recent items, were the DGR Suspension, and a few small RS parts.

Man...I have to practice transfering to a car and back from a wheel chair, then the practice of using only one arm/hand to hold the torque steer as I barrel down the 1/4 mile...lol
That snail is a nice GTX-3582R. Same type Jared and Stolle used in their cars.
