Looks awesome man!!!

 

she's beautiful! damn good job sir :thumbup:

 

man that looks really good dude nice work

 

i like it man!

 

very nice car. gives me alot of inspiration to cleanly mod my SVTF

 

My only complaint would be about the quality of the pics.

Now that thats out of the way, I think my favorite part about your car is your wheels. Everything seems to flow very well. I USUALLY suggest on painting the side mouldings and door handles, BUT, I think with the body color, matching color wheels, and said CF hood; they look good not painted.

On to my suggestions, get better pics, and LOTS of em! Oh, and since you said about the turbo kit (and lack of having it yet), and I see a lack of under hood pics, snap one or two of those while your at it.

:thumbup:

 

Looks good!! Love the euro rear bumper and your brakes! I would love to put some svt brakes on mine Sounds like Blood Ent. is a good place to go for work!

Looks really good! :thumbup:
As for the moldings, look good in Black if you ask me!

 

Good looking car, like the front fascia a lot.

 

Great looking car

 

Very and nice and subtle. Did you notice any difference with the lower stress bar. I was taking a gander at that myself.

 

Super clean (well minus the lack of paint on door handles and moldings, but that's just a peeve of mine )

I love those Mods on there. Too bad James (the owner) won't make a decent 4x108 wheel for us Focus (and soon to be Fiesta) peeps.

 

very nice focus

 

I really like this... great job!

 

Car looks great! Love the grey theme throughout and how you modded the exhaust to be flush with the bumper. Cant stand exhuasts that stick out too much.

 

Thanks to all for your kind comments, I really appreciate it. Jeez, even HotRodKristina was nice to me; that's kinda odd...
Anyhoo Ashley, yes Blood Enterprises is a really clean shop down in the industrial part of Auburn -- very professional and they also have an in house dyno too. Talk to Mark he's great (and he has a built STi).
Looking forward to seeing your car with those new wheels Jorge :thumbup:.
Oh, and Steve your build really inspired me to do my front end this way; I originally planned on doing a F2 RS front -- glad I didn't.
As for the lower stress bar GrndZero it's been on there so long I can't remember if it made any huge noticeable diff; I think in totality all of the suspension mods make the car hugely more capable and it feels super tight, even brand new.

...that is until you see the frickin' mess under the hood that I will be posting here in a few... :what:

Now, for some new pics. I was running out of light last time and I foolishly elected to not use the flash; sorry they were so muddy. Here some new ones that appear at least better lit.
Thanks again for viewing! Peace!

Here are some under car (and ugh under hood) pics:

...barf, gonna take care of this next day off...

Here is a shot of the excellent work that Blood Enterprises did on the Mach 1 lip -- very tidy. More importantly it is solid as h3ll

Here's a couple more driveway shots:

Wow, these rotors oxidize quickly when washed!

I elected to paint the pillars rather than import the very pricey euro parts:

Love focus sheet metal

Here's some better interior pics:

And now for a more artistic bent:

Last but not least light was waning so here's a shot of the rear fogs illuminated; they seem to be about the same lumens as the tails

Thanks again for viewing!

 

again looking awesome

 

Love the euro rear, cant wait to get mine.

 

looks great, nice to see someone take time and make an effort in making their car look nice.

perfect blend of show AND go

good job!

 

Super nice !! and you did a killer job at showing all the mods... And your in the N.W...

 

cool hood...wheels:dunno:

 

Lol, the hood is my least favorite mod; my wheels are in my opinion the most dramatic visual change on the vehicle. He he, to each their own

 

OK, finally got underneath the hood and used some elbow grease, a couple of skinned knuckles, two cans of canned air, a toothbrush, a box of q-tips, some simple green, and two buckets of warm soapy meguiar's. This is the first time I have cleaned the engine bay since I bought her new in fall of '03.
Jee-zus what a mess it was in there :what:.

Before:

And After:

Well, just gonna cruise her this way for the summer, will update when the Stage 2 FSW turbo goes in; thanks for viewing!

 

Well done!

 

I agree. This car is very well thought out and well executed. Great job!

The only thing I would suggest would be to find (or paint your existing) a black center console for the interior. I think the light grey that you have now clashes a little bit with the light colored seats.

 

i like everything you've done with the car... i want your rear bumper!!!

 

That car is awesome looking! I love the color!
