Soul- Hey bro, so what kind of stuff do you do, I know you said graphics and animation, it that all computer stuff! I ask this because over here in Socal, we have started another board for the Socal team called Team-SoCal.org! We want to turn it into an actual team, and maybe get sponsors and all! But that would be cool if we could get some kinda animated video for the team! Well hit me up with an email bro @ bmxrookie@yahoo.com
 
Mark you got some emails from me bro
least I hope you got them

one shows some "concepts" of my talks with you about things

also something I think everyone would like to know
Will you adding ducting/vents in front and rear that actually direct air to the brakes unlike most companies that just don't

also will the hatchback keep the ugly design of that molding above the license plate or will you smooth it all out and just make a recess for the License plate?

confused: These are some really good questions that I too would like to know. How about at least making the Z3 fenders that really do work or should I say vent.

correct Pimp
my fenders will be on display at Ohio
will then have someone to ship them through (hopefully) for people to buy them

It is impossible to make a cost effective Z3 vent for the FOcus....without people willing to do alot of customizing cause of the lay out of the car (we are talking 600$ fenders with ducting, and material to move things around and still function)

Mark can not wait to hear from you again man

Soul- Thanx man! So I know Mark was busy this weekend cause that is what he told me over the phone, but it's tuesday and I still haven't seen him post on here and it's already late tuesday! Hmm, he's probably busy working on the kit and their other projects right now!

Hey Mark I shot you an e-mail about the sponsorship a while ago and I know you are pretty busy, but I just wanted to make sure you got it.

Pimp:

I lose sleep on a regular basis (as you can see by looking at the times that I post) to make sure that Wolff products are the absolute best for the money. Deadlines are relentless.

Soul:

E-mail me. We'll talk.

Confused:

I haven't checked or responded to any mail since the second of the month, and my presence on the Jet hasn't been too hot since then either. I'm finally up to speed now so I'm back in full force. I'll respond to all the e-mails and private messages tomorrow. Sorry about the delay everyone, but you won't be disappointed.

Creating functional vents was a target for the body kit. One draw back was that it would involve creating fabricated ducts that would go out with the kits (along the lines of a ZO-6's ram-air and rear vents). The thought is still on the table, I'd honestly say it's not a likelihood, but it's still not ruled out. We've decided not to include the useless "dummy" vents that are seen on most kits, and blanked them as a tasteful alternative.

Stylez:

I likely got your request. I sent forms to 32 people a short time ago and haven't looked at my mail box since. I'll do the current set of about 30 or so tomorrow. I've been tying up ends on some things that were a little more urgent, which specifically pertained entirely to the body kit. One final 'thumbs up', and I'll post the images of the renderings, (one front and one rear) and the final price of the exterior parts and begin taking the 35% deposits to secure kits.
In addition to taking orders, I'll provide all the stats for the kit, namely the dimensions, and what to expect, and not to expect. As usual though, I'm hoping to see you all ask questions, and I'll answer them in the usual fashion.

As the kit is about to make a public debut in the extremely recent future, here's some things that I can confirm about the kit. They are as follows:

*There will be no hood offered.

*The hatch will not offer Lexan as optional equipment directly from Wolff.

*Although fashioned after stock equipment, the Wolff doors will not be built with the intent to make use of stock window mechanisms. The use of these mechanisms submit an 8 lb. Carbon Fiber door to about 20lbs-30lbs of machinery. The additional weight, particularly the glass, cannot be sustained for prolonged use of stock equipment much like the (typical) factory 50lbs-60lbs door. The original door handles and locking mechanisms taken from the stock doors can be used in the stock format on a long term basis without affecting the 8 lb. structure.


There are some other details specifically to the kit itself I'll post with the renderings. Hopefully, the renderings will be available for public viewing a few hours after you read this post, so keep your eyes peeled. Till then, take care. See you all very soon.

Mark.

Mark,
So what are you going to use in place of stock glass and the doors and hatch back?
WHat type of vents/ducts are you going to put for brake cooling?
When are pictures going to be available?
Will you have optional rims or something to space the rim out for the kit?
How is the thirty-five % deposit going to be set for payment? that's all

Mark- I can't wait!!! But I am guessing that you want the forms mailed to you instead of email!What should I do for all the verifications on all the questions, as I have just started a few months ago on my car and have no real ties with any companies yet, but I do have friends who have witnessed my modifications and the event(s) I have and will be particivating in! Well let me know what's up with that!

Pimp:

Yes, the forms should be snet back via mail.

As far as the references go, any friends, installers, judges, etc, that can vouch, or pictures of your vehicles involved in any claimed activities or with any modifications is sufficient. Preferably someone from a professional company or a picture or entry stub, but in some circumstances, a friend is all most people can muster.
 
EVERYBODY!!!!! Mark is AWESOME!!! LOL We definately need more people like you in the industry of the FOCI!!!!!! Well then I will send you what I have! Will a photo of entry stubs suffice cause I kinda want to keep my stub, since it was the first big race I entered! LOL
 
Kofa:

I'll post where eer there is a Focus in need...

Confused:

The doors/hatch will be provided empty since everyone seems to have a different style in which they want to mount the lexan.

At the current time, we don't intend to supply vents to 'cool the brakes' mainly because they require a drastic alteration of the stock slpash guards (wheel wells), particularly in the rear. I was going to design the kits to have vents, but after seeing how much costomization will have to take place on behalf of the purchaser, I decided to nix it. The vents are not visible here, simply because they do not do anything tangible.

Pimp:

I do all that I can. Thanks for noticing the hard work, feels good. Photo's of stubs are perfect.

Next time you hear from me, I'll have a big surprise...
