I've her her for over 2 years now, and i've keep her stock for a while. I love her, she's fun to drive, But it got boring

so i got my self and fswerks cool-flow intake, am fswerks race exhaust, massive rear strut bar, and a fswerks front strut bar. and now shes extra fun to drive

near future mods:
eibach prokit system (springs and dampeners)
wheels= workemotions cr kais (17-77) with nitto neo gen tires
fswerks lower strut bar
fswerks tune
i'm changing the front strut bar from a fswerks to a massive
tint
and a full de-badged and painting all chrome parts black.

all these are mods that i will do in the next 2 weeks, if i have time

, and ill have pictures of the car when its done =)

some people say that it doesn't do much, if anything at all, but for me just stiffing up the rear end did wonders =p

here are some pictures of the workemotions rims right when i got them. i'm still waiting for the tires to get here so i can put them up tho =( but the wait is going to be worth it =)
I drove like 4 hours to get these

i didn't want to pay the extremely high amount for shipping so i drove from chula vista to aneheim (where fswerks is located), to fountain valley (were work wheels is located, back to chula vista. It was a fun day =)
(i am painting the center black because of all the rust, i already painted the braked and drums)

im happy that shes running again, i got into a bad accident. where all my front right side was damage. i had to change the suspension because it was wrecked, my fender and bumper were useless, and most part in that part of the front end had to be replace, and apart from alot of banging noises because of the sway bars i still need to fix, shes running great =)

future mods

nitrous set up, with purge kit and heater.
engine and tranny build up (cosworth and exedy parts)
fswerks turbo kit
stedda throttle spacer, my friends is giving it to me when he sells his car.
exterior:
3d carbon body kit
duraflex extrema dimension custom wing
seibon carbon fiber hood.

stop-tech or Brembo front brake kits, i'm still not sure
and fswerks rear break conversion kit.
for the interior im getting bucket seat and removing the rear seats. still not sure which seats i will get thought.

thanks for reading, tell me whats you think =)

looks like it will be a fun times modding. I got Brembo's and after 1year of daily driving the rotors finaly got pulsation when braking lol. 40mph and up. even when I had a ProCharger i didn't need BBK but they fill out my RS wheels nicely lol.

i say just get KVR J hook rotors, KVR pads and GoodRidge brake lines. but its your car just giving friendly tips. good luck with the car

Ill keep that in mind =) this is my daily driver, so apart from taking to the track on lap ing days, it does need to be able to be reliable and last me on a day to day basis, thanks =)

Because i work and go to school full time, i have very little time to work on the car, but on all my free time i do like to work on the car =)

im hopping to to have all the body mods and the nos installed about December, but you never know whats gana happen. As for everything else, it all depends how long i can keep this job for and the classes i get after my next semester in school =)

Lookin good, wish they made that style in a hatch.

jatfocus · Aug 27, 2010

Right now i actually have have an automatic transmission, but im planing on having it changed to stick. Im looking around to buy a use transmission and tear it open and build it up, and have it be able to hold up high boost and nos at the same time. This is going to be the hardest part of my build. I got this car at a really good price used, that why i got it with the auto tranny.

Zx311 · Aug 27, 2010

looks good. those wheels will look great on their. maybe de-chrome the grill and it would look awesome with the wheels.

jatfocus · Aug 27, 2010

thanks, i am painting all the chrome on the car a dark grey/black so they would match the wheels

jatfocus · Aug 31, 2010

ive had some trouble with the orders but i got mostly under control.

this week i will be getting the lugnuts i got from summit
the eibach pro kit i got from massive
the lower strut bar from fswerks
a badge set from ws signs
and some goodies from focal jet

next week i will be reordering the rotors and brake pads
the wheels spacers, power bleeder and tires.

hopefully everything is going to go smoothly from now on

oooo i was trying to disassemble the suspension today to see how hard it would be to to change it, but i got stuck from the start. Several parts from the car, the control arms and sway bar, and other little pieces are either bent or broken. so i will have to replace that before i install the new suspensions.

anyone know if the pro kit for the 05 come with the part to connect the front sway bar? or would i have to purchase some extra hard wear?

the_C.oh · Aug 31, 2010

now that's a great start. looking forward to more in the future!

08FocusC · Sep 2, 2010

wow you've got a good start there man! Keep it up :thumbup:

grandjb · Sep 3, 2010

Nice rims. Can't wait to see them with some rubber on your car.

zinger637 · Sep 3, 2010

jatfocus · Sep 3, 2010

oh please do!!

tallguy2.3 · Sep 3, 2010

Nice nice!

Start with the turbo. Wait on the "nos". You may not even want it when you have 10+ psi of boost being crammed into your engine.

jatfocus · Sep 4, 2010

^^i want a 50 shot of nitrous on the take off to get rid of some of the turbo lag, but all its still up in the air, but yeah with that much boost i wouldn't need the nos =)

tallguy2.3 · Sep 4, 2010

Not necessary IMO. Good luck on the build brotha!

jatfocus · Sep 5, 2010

Thanks

jatfocus · Sep 7, 2010

the dampeners are yet again delayed =(
i just called and they said there was another error with the order and that there waiting to get a new set before they can send my whole order.
=((((

2006TZX4 · Sep 7, 2010

Great looking car i like the wheels i can't wait to see them on the car.

jatfocus · Sep 8, 2010

thank you ^ me neither xp
im still waiting on finding the tires. i'm adamant about getting the neo gens, but everyplace ive gone to is like ripping me off trying to charge like 600+ so im probably going to get them on the internet =)

on a good note i got the car tinted and its looks 100 time betters =)
ill get pics up after i paint over all the chrome and the weather clears up.

xecutionr · Sep 9, 2010

nice lookin rims! cant wait to see them in the rubber!

jatfocus · Sep 13, 2010

so today after realizing i had like 6 boxes of gear for the car that i haven't installed I decided to ditch class and install some of them =)

FROM LAST TIME IVE;
tinted my windows
added the spacers
added the lower stress bar
de-badged the rear

the front spacers took me forever xp

in the garage i still have 2 boxes with the wheels, a box with the upper wing i need to install, another box with the ecu tuner (i'm waiting until i run out of gas to tune the car =p) and one last box with some break pads and new lug nuts.

this week im also suppose to be getting; tomorrow: the Muteki lug nuts. (i desided to buy some open ended so incase i want to run my wheels without spacer sometimes i didnt have to change the bolt things).
On Wednesday i'm suppose to be getting my eibach pro kit suspension and all the adapter i need to set it up with my car and the steeda throttle spacer. ( i cant wait for these, i ordered them like a month ago =/)
On Friday hopefully ill be getting my nitto neogens =)

i still need to paint all the chrome black and de badge the front grill but i relay like how its starting to look.

ooo and look.

while i left my fofo at ford to get the front sway bars fixed they lent me this

v8
5speed
=D

jatfocus · Sep 14, 2010

i got them through my dads friends shop, and hes giving me a big!!! discount because his good buddies with my dad. so i can't really rush them =/
but its worth the wait =)

08FocusC · Sep 14, 2010

hey good deal!! :thumbup:

jatfocus · Jan 22, 2011

I haven't been able to update in a while, I've been going through jobs, and i haven't had enough progress on the build. but here is what i have so far.

List of mods as of now;

Exterior:
Tinted the car, limo tint in the back and i 20% in the front.
painted the chrome black.
Tinted the fog-lights yellow.
Nokya hyper yellows fog-lights bulbs.
Halo headlights.

suspension:
Eibach pro kit, with the massive ohmni kit.
camber plates.
workemotions on nitto tires.
front,lower,rear strut bars.
rear sway bar upgrade is coming in soon.

power:
Fswerks CAI
Steeda throttle spacer
Fswerks tune.

im working on some body mods right now. but the next big thing is either a turbo or change transmission. but thats a whiles away, until i get another job.
