2005 st 2.3l 19,000kms

pzduzit · 02-01-2013, 03:07 PM

Hi I am new to this forum just joined to see what other cars are out there and maybe find out more about the Focus I have. I am in Vancouver BC and I have never seen one like mine. I purchased my Focus with damage and slowly put it back together over the years that is why the KMS are so low. Finally it is completely done the front bumper cover took the longest to find.

If someone can tell me more about the car I would appriciate it.

That is a US spec focus ST, they were made from 2005-2007. Yours has a factory option called the Ford Street Appearance Package (SAP) (at least the front bumper is, cant really tell if the rear is). Looks like it is lowered. I have the same car in silver, nice car! Let me know if you have any other questions!

That's correct, it's an ST. The front is definitely the SAP, but the rear bumper and spoiler are not, which is a little strange. 2005 is a good year because it uses the same common suspension parts as the SVT and other 00-04 Foci, while getting the upgraded brakes all models received in 05. The ST only came in a sedan, and it's the only 05-11 model with rear disc brakes. It's got the 2.3L Duratec engine, which was specific to the ST and appears in about 2% of all 05-07 Foci.

Your car is definitely lowered and has some questionable wheels lol. The factory ST wheels aren't much better, so if I were you I would look into maybe some Team Dynamics wheels or Sparcos for well-made, lightweight, affordable wheels.

Yeah the wheels were stolen twice while it sat being fixed. Your actually the first not to appreciate those wheels. Anybody else have any input or advice?

I'm in love. That car is perfect man. Come join us in the Pacific Northwest forum!! We're having a get together next month on the 26th and another guy from Vancouver is coming down! We'd love to have ya! Ive got the same appearance kit, and there are 2 more members down here with the same car you have...

But yours is cooler.

oh, and if you're interested in meeting up with the other Vancouver peeps, Nevin and DGZX3 are their usernames! I'm sure there are more, but those are the two that are more active around here.

Oh, and the ST is the highest trim level avaliable for the 05-07 years, they're pretty sought after. And with 19k kms... That's a very, very nice car. The air intake on that is a Steeda, which is one of the nicest ones you can buy. I think the wheels look great on there. I've got some Sparcos on my car if you wanna come down and see them... Haha :P There are a lot of folks around here who would be jealous of that thing!! Myself included!

Saw this for sale a bunch of times on craigslist. Are you still going to sell it or are you keeping it? Its a cool car, and I am looking for people to meet up with.

There were two SAP packages one of which used the smaller spoiler. But the 2005 ST did not have the option of SAP It started in 2006, so the front bumper was put on by somebody else. Also you need to take note of the build date in the car, anything after mid July 05, then you will have to look at suspension parts for 2006 on up.
