I already know my cars always had/have 10% lovers and 90% haters.
I will ignore if you say spoiler is too big blah blah blah, i heard it enough and i am not throwing random Chinese **** called a "special" from walmart or autozone, pepboys you name it.
I am putting what WRC is putting and try to be as close as possible, consider I am not in UK. I had to import every single pieces to get what i wanted.

My first car owned under my name
2000 kona focus. bought used in San Francisco 2003.

2003

2006
roof vent and scoop are fully functional.

2008, moved back to Vancouver and now in Toronto

2011 parted kona out and bought another 2000.

Installed fswerks turbo on september 2011.
GT2871R

After a month and this is what happened due to famous early 2000 fuel pump problem.
overheated.

I had wrc kit since 2009 but had no chance to install on my car as i was looking for white focus.

I had to bring engine to my living room to work on it.
I have no garage and only space i can work was underground parking lot.
picked up used engine and started working on.

working underground parking lot.

then i got a good deal renting shop space, then i could get things done faster.
getting towed to my shop

On hoist

Flaring out, BFH works!!

Really happy. (White car sees boost)

Wow. Nice build you have going on there! :thumbup: How do you like the GT2871R turbo on your kit?
I might upgrade to it in the future and was wondering at what rpm it spools at.
