so i bought my SVTF completely stock except for a big ol' hood that i hated, and sportline springs. and heres how it looked....
not gonna lie, im a vw guy. i came from a vw that i totaled in a bad rain storm and hydroplaned and took out a steel fence and some other stuff, lol. but my dad talked me into getting an svt focus. (and at this point im glad he did[hihi]) ive put a lot of my part time job money into this car. i just graduated from high school and recently joined the Army so the car is getting no more money except gas since i leave in october for basic. but anyways! heres what the car has come to...
im debating when i get back if i wanna turbo it or v8 swap with rwd it. my dad races sprint cars and i keep telling his when i get home im gonna steal one of the back up motors and put it in my car hahaha. then id be alittle over 500 hp at the wheels(; but that wont happen haha.
mehhh its not as easy as it sounds... youll prob end up selling it and getting something better or just going f/i... then youll need clutch, internals and other supporting mods. like i said swap or f/i is not that easy as it sounds, especially in our little lady bugs. gl n e ways
I love my ZX5 SVT and only Comp Orange would make it better. When you get your first assignment let us know. Congrats on joining the Army. I've been in 12 years now and love it. What MOS are you picking up?
thanks a lot for all the compliments! and yeah im pretty convinced im gonna keep the car stock when i get home. im gonna get the motor refreshened and a tune put on it. thats my plans as of now anyhow. and im gonna get a power stroke diesel because i really could use another truck. and keep this as my daily
Sweet ride. I like the hood. Heck I have one. Got the breathers formed in. Made a ton of difference. I boosted mine. What year power stroke are you looking to get?
funny i never read your story but your the opposite of my friend he totaled his comp orange svt and got a vw, new wheels look great but wash the car lol
diggin the zx5 svt. new wheels look good. where did you get the side skirts, are they stock. i kinda like. looks like i may be on another quest for parts
the side skirts are off a zx4 st! they added a nice touch. and best part I got them for 20 or 25 bucks!
and hate to think about it but the car may before in may when I get home from AIT. might be time to upgrade to a new ST... see how income is looking!
