Do a 3" exhaust as well.

 

Haha ya thats kind of important. I love the sound of the Borla Type S muffler. Had it on my other focus. Only comes in a 2.5" tho, so I'll probably go with one of the oval race mufflers.

 

dont forget about shipping..

 

paint for the bodykit would be nice
i personaly would leave it stock looking for the sleeper look
also a nice suspention setup is important

 

I personally like the mexican look with an unpainted body kit haha. I'm painting it myself. Have a professional set up with a gun and everything. Thats why I was considering just painting the entire car, so its fresh, and a distinct color.

 

yeah but painting a car will be a few hundred $$$ in paint and supplies.

should be a good build though. will look great once its done

 

dont do the RS body kit and spend the money on a LSD

 

I think you should try and bundle stuff to get better deals on items...

Lets say an LSD, Exedy stage 2 clutch and Body kit for $2240.00 with shipping included...that save some money. Other wise the with the pricing you have up there just for a body kit and clutch you are $1814.98 plus shipping...

 

... you're forgetting "some" sort of suspension.

Otherwise you'll have a 4x4 with an RS bodykit.

 

^ right, your build needs some kinda decent suspension setup and diff before any kind of body kit

 

lol yeah good point. the rs body kit with the stock suspension would look weird, and with the stock suspension, your car wouldnt drive ideal

 

AND TORSEN DIFF!!! im surprised no one else find this mod somewhat critical to a turbo fwd build LOL

 

I'm going to have to take this in steps then, because its starting to get expensive.

I really like the body kit. What should I do for the suspension? What brand for shocks and struts?

 

H&R Coilovers.

 

x2, the H&R coilovers are very comfortable for daily driving, easy to install, great bang for your buck and handle great. Far superior damping characteristics and compression travel then any of the spring/shock combo's out there, which translates to great ride comfort and handling

 

yeah doing it in steps will probably work best. just dont buy anything youll get rid of later on (like a header or cai before a turbo kit, or springs before coilovers, etc).and its best to get a diff installed the same time as a clutch/flywheel. it will save installation cost (unless you do it yourself, but it will still save time).

 

coilovers, KW variant 1

 

^another good choice, KW makes great products

 

Stick with FS Race 2.5" SS exhaust.

Ditch the 900 body kit.

450~ Eboost 2 Elect Boost controller,

Cant forget about a WIDE Band O2 sensor, AEM EUGO comes to mind.

Oil Cooler kit

Cosworth IM

Cams -Crane stage 1 (which I have)

hmm

 

After evaluating some of the prices. I'm considering just buying a mustang. 03 Mach 1. Or 01 Cobra.

 

Won't you eventually slap some mods onto the stang though? So you'll most likely still end up putting money into it.

 

get the stang.. much cheaper to modify and be fast

 

in a straight line....

I'd rather have the Focus.

word

 

I'd rather have the Focus.

 

My focus is faster than my Mustang. lol Much faster.

The Exedy stage 2 clutch is a nice option, I've had it before just don't plan to have much driveability around town. I switched to the stage 1 disc since my focus is my DD and it holds just fine.

 

Not off the line maybe from a roll.

Have you ever taken it to the track? I don't want to get a reg GT, the 2V engine ain't that exciting. I want the 4V.

 

My Mustang is a 1993 LX 2.3 and it's bone stock. Makes 105bhp at 4600rpm and that was when it was new! lol :lol:

 

the track i go to involves turns
