F2 to Debut New Focus Project Car at SEMA 05 - Page 2 - Focaljet

**Ted7rns** · 10-26-2005, 02:13 PM

400hp is good considering and 911 GT2 Twin Turbo has 450 hp

**rpvitiello** · 10-26-2005, 03:16 PM

At first I really liked the rendering of the front bumper, it was the first kit I have seen that flowed really well with the line of the 05 focus, but then in the build, the lines seem to have changed and don’t flow as well anymore. The rendering looks like an all new bumper for 05, where as the real one looks like a bumper adapted to fit the 05 design, from the older focus front end.

It still going to be a cool build up, but I still can’t bring my self to like the new front end of the 05’s! The concept looked great, but the real life looks a little off.

Well the looking at the car then and the way it is looking now. There is a major difference. I wich I could show but you will have to wait until SEMA. The artist had the old bumper to work off of so he made it with his idea and that is why it might be different but believe me the car look great. And also since it is painted it also looks different. So I think most of you will like it, I love it so far!!!!

**ouikikazz** · 10-27-2005, 01:44 AM

i hope to get a peek at it, too bad SEMA is too far for me

i still dont know why F2 isn't getting the good credit they deserve, it seems a number of people do tend to 'crap' on their stuff, must be because it only took them like a year to build an awesome company! keep up the good work.

**bluezeal** · 10-27-2005, 11:16 AM

what color is the car painted... is it still silver or did you do a completly new makeup

**intuneauto** · 10-27-2005, 12:03 PM

the car is still the stock color but its really classy looking .Seems that people have a bit of envy and its the reason they are bashing f2.If anyone really can say that they have talked with ricardo and the crew at f2 for 10 mins,Then they can say what they want about him.But most havent and have pre concived notions
I did and now i can say that he really proved them all wrong

for some reason I am not impressed with their numbers.. for a twin turbo car, it should be at least pushing 500-600

you know we would love to have a 500-600hp Focus, but in reality you would need 2 T4 Turbos to get that kinda power, and it only being a 4banger you would have a turbo lag until 4500 or 5000 rpm and by that time youll be at freeway speeds then snap the axles from the torque and do a nice turn out going 65 mph. I am sure everyone would liek to see that on a freeway, but in reality f2 is making a twin turbo that has smaller turbos which will make lesser HP but still in the 400hp range and have next to no turbo lag.

**hkysk8r07** · 10-28-2005, 03:04 AM

hey ricardo would you be interesting in selling this car eventually some time after sema???

**R0B** · 10-28-2005, 01:33 PM

i think he might but not for a while

OMG I JUST SAW THE ENGINE BAY, TOTALLY SPORTED WOOD!

**hkysk8r07** · 10-28-2005, 06:09 PM

good gives me time to save if i can't come up with enough to import the car i really want

**FocusSTGuy** · 10-28-2005, 07:03 PM

im going to ask garo and ricardo if i can see the car already

**R0B** · 10-28-2005, 07:15 PM

its not at F2 right now its at another shop gettin all the last minute bugs out, plus i am tryin to do the same, i wanna see the car before she leaves tomorrow

**FocusSTGuy** · 10-28-2005, 11:16 PM

when saturday, becuase i was thinking of going today but i got busy

**ZX4ST_DFW** · 10-29-2005, 02:45 AM

I like the looks of this kit and will be putting my money away for the kit. Now, how much is it gonna cost me? Plus, what is the approximate pricing of the twin-turbo kit? Any ideas?

**Blight0x** · 10-29-2005, 02:53 PM

My car is in the shop right now having this kit put on my ZX3, Ill be sure to put up some pictures when i get it back. It'll be all black w/ 18" Kazera black wheels =) Should look good!

Edit: Ill give ya a befor pic

**intuneauto** · 10-29-2005, 06:08 PM

we can build a copy of the car if your serious.\

**Maxis** · 11-01-2005, 11:16 AM

Beast! Good work people. Ford should be proud of you guys!

**Focus_Crazy** · 11-01-2005, 04:44 PM

That has got to be the BEST lookin Focus out there. i love it.

any chance of makin the body kit for sale along with the dual exaust?

**2ltr_Zetec_S** · 11-01-2005, 09:12 PM

By the way when is SEMA over so we can see color pics of the wide body sedan. Feel like an attic jonezin for a fix.

**rpvitiello** · 11-02-2005, 02:22 AM

I’m not trying to knock the car r the work going into it but IMO the real bumper in side profile does not look as good as the conceptual rendering. I do NOT like the way the new focus front end looks cut off when ford hacked together a new front end on the 05’s. The corner profile just does not flow right at all. The concept drawing I think addressed this very well, but the kit being maid does not. Like I said, the drawing looks like a new bumper designed just for 05+ foci, the real thing looks like a modified RS bumper or something off the original focus, and the side profile where the bumper meets the fender does not flow as well. Again this is meant as constructive criticism.

I still do not like the 05 focus looks at all and I’m waiting for a kit or bumper or something to change my mind. So far that has not happened, and it does not look like it will.

**intuneauto** · 11-03-2005, 07:35 PM

here is the pics of the car

**FocusSTGuy** · 11-03-2005, 11:56 PM

i cant wait to see that car in person, im waiting for them to return to see that car, i just cant wait

**2ltr_Zetec_S** · 11-04-2005, 10:05 AM

Sorry but I do not wish to sound in anyway ungrateful about the pics were they taken by 007?
Dark and stealthy. I can not believe the lighting is that bad at a SEMA show.

Looks great though what wheels and tires were used on final car and will we have some stats on the dual exhaust setup? will the exhaust be available to the rest of the Foci sedan guys?

Looks Fantastic can we have more pics more pics. This is what Ford SVT sedan should have been. Glad F2,FJ and all the vendors and people who made it a reality. This kit truely belongs on the car.

My 2002 ZTS is going to be a new car in spring.

 WOW WOW WOW

**intuneauto** · 11-04-2005, 09:19 PM

the lighting wasnt all that great in there "we were in the temp tents next to overhaulin"
The exhaust is a iffy for now if the demand is there then production isnt hard.
The wheels and tires to be used are the ones on the car in the pic,Its the reason the car didnt drive in because there wasnt enough time to cut out the front fender structure to clear a decent turning radius.The rears are ready and all the suspention mods to clear the 19x10s was done before sema and the rear tires clear the fenders and suspention.
The tires are 285s in the rear and 245s in front If im correct but ill get a exact size asap
It should be about 2 weeks to get all the loose ends and tune buttoned up and shes on the road to scare a few evos
