ZX3 Focus!!

[6.2]

Took some more panels out.

Slowly but surely.

Next will be the hatch area. I'll put the sub/amp in my truck.

Winter mode.

What about Beast mode?

 

[6.2]

I guess beast mode will be when I get roll cage and turbo haha.

 

[adsm08]

Dont' forget the grill guard made out of old exercise equipment.

 

[6.2]

Bahahaha no thats for the till cage. The grill guard is being made out of empty beer cans.

 

[adsm08]

I was picking up cans off the side of the road the other night while walking the dogs. Wife picked up a Natty Light can and said "I think this one still has beer in it". I laughed at her and said that it never had beer in it.

 

[6.2]

Hahaha never had that water.

Took the last few side panels out this afternoon. And moved my sub into my truck.

Ranger now has the good sound system. Components, sub, head unit. Just need an amp for the components.


Anyways, car is so close to being gutted to the point I want it at.

Just have the backs of the rear seats left, which will be the trickiest part as ill have to grind the bolts out.

 

[6.2]

Basically done. Few seat brackets left. And carpet. But 200 lbs gone.

Which is equal to an 11 HP gain. Not bad.

Also just ordered an ultra gauge. Should help my bad habits.

 

[6.2]

Ordered up a poly motor mount. I'm hoping that fixes my clunking. Visually I can't find anything loose, so I'm hoping that's what it is.

Also, since its warm out, my shifting issue is coming back. I'll really have to get that fixed

I thought this thread ended up a loss cause.

But I got some new headlights in my Focus (as pic shows)

I plan on doing:
1.4/1.5 drop on it, 17s, 205/45r17 tires.
20% tin all around with a windshield strip.
Black base tail lights, (leds with a clear lense)
blacked out 3rd brake light
Maybe mud flaps, I like the look of yours.
I might do some engine mods, but want this to be a reliable daily that gets decent mileage.

Nice. I love my 17's in summer. I too plan on the same drop. Can't decide if coilovers or h&r cup kit. Either way it will be dropping.

I got my ultragauge in last night, already improving my mpg. So nice to see all the things it monitors.

I'll do a 0-60 run tonight and see what it is.


I also picked up a second set of headlights to do a retrofit in. Have some killer ideas for those. Not going to give away what my plan is, but ot should turn out pretty killer.

 

[RangerNielsen]

I'm going to get Eibach drop springs. What's the ultragauge?

 

[6.2]

Ultragauge is a monitoring device. Plugs into the obd port.

 

[6.2]

Here's a bit of what it does.

Lmao at slow ass car. (Was driving into a 60 mph headwind)
