Does anyone know an approximate time they will be sending these out to the dealers? If you order one do you get it before they are released to dealerships? Sucks about the manual and no 8 inch screen why is that you cant have both?

March 2011 is the current date being ear marked........I say mid to end of March if all goes well with Job 1 which begins January 31, 2011

The ST model will be approximately 1 year later

 

^ AFAIK the "normal" 2012's will be on lots sooner than ST's
*searches for release date info*

Yeah I can't find anything. And I'd rather not throw a random guess out there since that will only add to other guessing, which will probably just lead us off track.

 

I would assume that Ford would start taking orders for the ST six months before the release date. At least that's how it was with the SVTF when I ordered mine.

 

In case some of you aren't following The Ford Story, there are two videos posted regarding the 2012 Focus: wind tunnel testing (I think it's the SE with the Sport Package only based on colour); and fuel economy (SFE package maybe)

 

I'm a big fan of a nice stereo so was happy to a little more detail than I'd seen before per below:
Tech enthusiasts as well as music lovers also will appreciate that Focus will be the first car in its class available with an audio system supplied by global consumer electronics leader Sony(R). Featuring a class D digital amplifier developed specifically for Focus, this system has 10 speakers, three-layer soft dome tweeters and a subwoofer offering up 355 watts of continuous power. Coupled with MyFord Touch, the Focus audio system also features HD Radio technology with iTunes Tagging - also a first in its class.

Titanium Package eh?

That's nothing to the Adamantium Package I just ordered

 

My Unobtainium Package blows you all away.

 

:lol: Nice one! :thumbup:

 

why can't i see any of the pictures

 

I can't either...

But I just found this...

2013 Focus Coup!

http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/38510/ford-focus-coupe-2013-pictures

Sorry if this is listed, I didn't want to read all 50 pages.

 

Here is my 2012 as of today. 18X8 et35 wheels and lowered on Ksport coilovers! Let me know what you think.

 

You might want to start a thread in Team Rigz for just your own car (if you haven't done so already). Otherwise, they will get lost with the rest of the pics in this thread

 

OMG PLEASE LOWER IT MORE, IT LOOKS AMAZING!!! I hate to admit it, but those wheels look better on your car than they do on mine. Lower it more and it will be KILLER!!!

 

It can go lower but I do not want to at this time. I has a nice ride and I do not have to really worry about road debris. I will also put it in Team Rigz.

 

Nice setup.

 

looks awesome!

 

Hey i like those wheel and when you can can you specify where you got them how much etc I was looking at those wheels and they remind me of the elbrus ones even i cant really tell without glasses but u said et35 or something but i was looking at tirerack and saw the elbrus 105 silver machine ones (LINK) are they the same? cause they look the same to me and for the coil over i dont know if you had the sport package but if you didnt how much did it change your ride quality etc. how low did you lower it lolz thanks new to the focal jet forum but I'm awaiting my focus 2012 sedan se no sport package etc so i have steel wheels and really want to get rid of them once the money comes in. These are the ones i was looking at with these tires what do you think guys? of course after that im thinking of the lowering part etc.

 

If you're referring to SPRAYPAINT's car, then the answer is in this post he made a while back:

I have already put 18X8 polished aluminum Elbrus wheels

As for the tires you want, the BFG Super Sport A/S is a good tire. The tire choice will ultimately depend on the size of rim/wheel you're going to run. If you're looking at an ultra-high performance tire, also consider a Toyo Proxes4, or the Continental ExtremeContact DWS.

 

Here is mine after my photo shoot... I am NOT a photographer!

 

Awesome looking sedan. The wheels and the ride height are perfect for it.

 

Should have came that height from the factory.

Looks great!

 

Nice wheels. Very tasteful.

 

do want

 

I like that way better then the tangerine.

 

Drool

 

Hey SPRAYPAINT how have the coil overs affected ride quality? Mine has the stock continental tires and I like the smooth ride. Do you find it to be rough with such a low pro tire/height setup?

 

Here are a few of GiGi-

And some before dipping the wheels and new spacers-

 

Looks good knuckles. But the rear wheels almost seem too far out to me?? Was that intended or is it the angle? Anyone else notice? Just want to make sure I am not going crazy lol

Maybe we can have a moderator move these pics over to the official mk3 pic thread unless you would like to post there also?

 

Thanks [] My rear wheels are spaced 20mm, which gives the equivalent spacing of Spraypaint's wheels. Maybe it's the angle or the different tires, Idk. There was a time when I was running 10/20mm offset, which gave it a funky rwd look.

I didn't know what the difference was between this thread and the other, but it can be moved. I was just bored at lunch and thought I would throw some pics up. []

 

How/where does one make build thread? I'm new here.
