I figured I'd make a thread for the Focus on here showcasing everything that is done.

A brief history:

I bought my Focus new in February 2007 in Monterey, CA. It is the base model with no A/C, manual transmission, manual locks and windows, and cloth interior. I have driven this car from California to Texas to Maryland and several trips back and forth from Maryland to Mississippi and Oklahoma. I bought this car with the intention of it being a reliable daily driver that got good gas mileage, however, those plans changed in 2008. I started to mod the car and have had alot of fun with it ever since. Without further adue, here is the mod list and some pics.

[bullitt1680]

Nice car!! I have a SVT Focus that I drive on occasion...all it has done to it is a crappy repaint with the clear peeling

[H-town-gt]

forged everything and turn thaa booossttt uuuppppp

Thanks everyone. It's a blast to drive.

haha, I've pretty much reached the limit of the stock block torque wise. Much more and I'm looking at a snapped rod. My next mods are geared towards holding that same tq longer for higher in the rpm range to make more hp without putting much more stress on the engine. A short runner intake mani, meth/water injection to cool the IATs down, and a good set of cams will do just that.

Here are some more recent pics.

Quick constructive criticism:

-Eyelids are way to much. They were cool 10 years ago. Also bi-xenon retro-fit?
-You need black seats.
-Dynamat?
-Meth immediately, do you also have a catch-can?
-Exhaust vids!
-BBK
-Color match your mirrors
-Tint the front reflector.

Very impressive!

I am sure that focus has surprised a few people. I bet it is a very fun car!

The damn Silver V6 messed us up! Damn 6er's! .


Nice work Bryce. I thought you had installed your meth kit?

[RDY4WAR]

Nope. I've had the kit sitting up in the closet for several months now. I want to install it soon.

[RZNCAIN]

I like the eyebrows!

[WNTS 2RN]

I didn't know you could buy a new Focus in 07 with no AC. I thought the car industry used AC as standard equipment. Guess I need to get out from under my rock.

[RZNCAIN]

You can still get a new Accent without Air!

[RDY4WAR]

Yep, it came without AC. I didn't mind at all considering the price I was getting for it new and the really low interest rate (2.9%).

[V8POWA!]

I have AC and rarely use it....Windows are down always unless its raining out. Even at night I'll have them down

It's the same for me which is why I didn't mind not having it.

[V8POWA!]

btw how much are those going for these days? if you know...

[RDY4WAR]

An 07 ZX3 depending on condition I would say $7,000 - $8,000. KBB on mine is like $6,800 without the AC and manual everything. I wouldn't let mine go for less than $9k though. If someone wants it bad enough depending on purpose, I could get that much.

[V8POWA!]

aight cool. cause its a sick quick car plus good gas mileage...
