Saying hello FJ,

Yes, I am one the apparent few that races a Focus. Warning: some of what I have done to the car may make you shutter. If your bag is keeping a car showroom floor pretty - look away. Track cars look good from a far, but take the abuse outright at the track.

Long time racer, had a ZX3 way back. Then an Evo 8 track prepped. Back to the SVTF. On third season with the car. On to the car!

I'll be doing this seasons race prep in a week or so. I'll get current pictures of the car, mods, and interior to show how it all looks.

The Details:
NASA TTE and SCCA SMF Prepped SVTF

Number 2704 of 4788. One of 589 that are Pitch Black and have a blue interior.

My season starts at Mid-Ohio in April, May is a charity event in Indianapolis, June is Grattan (MI), maybe Road Atlanta in June too. July back to Mid-Ohio.

We'll see. 3xx hp is enough for me to have fun. I've had 400+whp RWD cars. I like the idea of a nice grand touring car. 500hp v6 luxury fun car...without the 100k price tag.

Hey Smike, good to see you join the forums.

It's funny that it happened so i'll just throw this out there. I've been doing alot of research on the Satisfied Gransport 6 brake pads for the 2003 ZX3, and most of my information came from the Lancer Evo forums you where part of. I already own the pads, I just wanted to see how they compared to the Gransport 5. I've read a ton of your posts, and found it very surprising to find you in this forum, driving a Focus, and even using the same nickname and avatar. Right on! :)

Ha. Correct. I am a Guru on that forum. I was a SuperMod there for a long time also. I had a ZX3 and 76 Vette before the Evo. Should have kept them both.

I have not spoken with Satisfied in a long time. I believe they are reformulating their line up to make it more streamline (v the 1-6 they produce now).

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Be happy to help with brakes, tires, suspension questions.
