Noob!

[Klondike]

i have a cosworth CAI, see where the fender flares are on my front bumper, on drivers side thats where mine is and its fine, never hydrolocked, it gets dirty, i clean it every oil change or every oil change and its been fine, just do a recharge, 20 dollars gets you a good 5-10 recharges, and if you wanna test fit em before you buy you def can do it, i know svt rotors up front are a tad bigger, i know i had no clearance issues on mine, i believe d20 rotors are 11 and svts are 11.2 inches, but the offset on the wheels are a +38, some 15s clear svt brakes, never tried with these ronal rts, usually you need a 16

Bump for Goodies that came and are now on except the rear brace bar by MASSIVE and the Carbon Fiba Shorty Antenna . .. shit got me mad I haven't gotten the antenn yet. lolz The rear strut bar will be installed this sunday when I haz time.

K&N with new filter is an improvement for sure over the AEM CAI only cuz the AEM was beat to heck, too many bendz ripps on the filter and what not. Pretty happy thus far. CFM 67mm is next on the table along with the two front window tint by Viper and a swap in head Unit with my Fusion IPOD playa, ... playa!

A front strut bar is useless on a focus, and that short ram adds no power to a svt. Best intake for the svt is stock, or a true cold air. At normal operating temps that maf sensors reading in some hot air. Just an fyi. And clean interior btw

Also forgot. A good set of spark plug wires are good, but the stock coil is best for the focus msd coils do nothing for focus'. Under drive pulleys are also a waist of time and money . They are dyno proven to do nothing to our cars, just a heads up dude :)

Useless?? then why did the company make them with the front lower strut bar?
The SRI IS and improvement for the sorry excuse for a "CAI" it came with & again, is a temporary fix should I decide to go FI.

So what's next, Are you going to say the stock suspension is better than a set of coilovers as well??

Obviously you have much to learn with these cars. Talk to 1turbofocus (tom) he's own and built a bunch of focus and is one of the best tuners out there. He'll tell you stock intake is best if not a cai. And under drive pulleys are a waist of money I'm sure he'll tell you like he's told hundreds before. Same thing with the msd coil. The stock one is the best out there for a focus under 300 horsepower or so. FRONT TOP strut bar is useless as well on FOCUS'. There only eye candy. Being a wise arse (as I'm interpreting it, maybe your not) when I'm telling you I've been around these forums for years, that there all useless on svtfs. Maybe if you searched before you clicked checkout on some items you would save your money, for a little bit of time. Or then again, maybe your a fan of placebo affects because thats all that crap will give you

How about reading the thread instead of vomiting out your response?
The Foci came with NO stock box. Again, if I were to post pics of the beat AEM CAI you would think a little before stating the K&N sri I just got is not better than it.

Ebay? my god have ppl gone that low before?? ... I'll make this one a little easier on you. How bout a set of Ksport Pro Kontrol coilovers. Easily on par with D2's(same coilover, different company/paint job) & Megans. Not the best out there but for the money your getting ALOT out of this investment. BTW, Ksports Headquarter's office is in Gilbert AZ which is in Phoenix. Why is that even important enough to post you say?? ... well should I have any issue's or a need to rebuild them there is literaly no downtime as I can walk in their office, drop it off and pick it back up within a week timsworth.

Retard? Uncalled for. I tried helping you out, and you seemed to tell me i didnt know what I was talking about so I showed you some info. Honestly, you seem like a pretty rude kid, and its not needed on these forums. Take it to focal jet. As far as the coilovers, it was a joke. And k sports have has customer service problems with people in the past. maybe not you since you seem to live near by. I've helped out lots of new members out here before and all of em were greatful. I understand its hard to believe but honestly it is what it is. You make yourslef look like a fool by calling someone a retard who was trying to help you. I've earned a good amount of rep on here, a lot of people respect each other on this site. Were all a family trying to help each other out, which is why I've learned so much on her in the past couple of years. Ive been a certified mechanic for 20 years and I can assure you everything I've said before is true about what's useless on a focus. I've dynoed tons at shops, and learned plenty. Good luck to you sir.
