Don't really have any pics of either car...

Then - 2002 Sangraia Red MTX ZX3 (too many mods that I don't feel like listing)
Now - 2000 Zinc Yellow Escort ZX2 S/R (a rare little gem)

The S/R edition comes FROM THE FACTORY with:
Iceman Cold-Air-Intake
Blue accents on intake and valve cover
Borla Cat-Back Exhaust
Visteon Performance Engine Computer
B&M Short-Throw-Shifter
Centerforce Stage 1 Clutch
Energy Suspension Urethane Bushing Set
Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs (1.2" / 1.0")
Tokico Dampers
Exclusive wheels
4-Wheel disc brakes (w/o ABS)
"ZX2" Stitching on Front Seats
Exclusive Instrument Cluster (150mph instead of 120mph, will do about 137, since speed limiter is nonexistant)
Rare:
Only made in 99.5 and 2000 model year
Total of 2000 S/R's were produced in this time period
500 Red, 500 Black, 1000 Zinc Yellow (Mustang Yellow)
Yellow was exclusive to S/R only and was not available on standard ZX2's.

I test drove an Escort S/R back in the day...well, my mother did the driving (was not legal back then). Thought it was alright.

Why did you get rid of the focus?

Totalled. The other guy's insurance didn't pay for all my aftermarket parts. I can't drive a stock vehicle, and didn't want to put all the money into ANOTHER focus. So I bought the S/R for pretty cheap, and bought a crotch rocket with the money left over.

No pics just yet but I sold my Focus on Monday night!

I traded it in on a 2006 Mazda3-5Door G/T (2.3ltr, Side Curtain Airbags, Xenon Headlights, Black Leather Interior, LED Tails, Very small and subtle lip kit, some trunk protector thing). Color is the Titanium Grey and it's also got the 6disk in-dash, Sunroof, Chrome 17" Stock wheels *didnt pay for these as they're fugly*. . Got a really good deal and hopefully it'll have less issues than the Focus did.

Great car but I'm already missing the Focus.
