Default Two down, two to go.

I just bought 2 SVT wheels from a local guy, I'll buy the other two next paycheck, I think I found a line on some used spec Tires.

Instead of waiting for all the power mods that are legal on a Zetec and the SVT brake set up, I am going to try to build this car to the minimum and start racing. I bet getting 4-5 races under my belt will give me more speed in the long run, than all the power adding mods.

Good plan. I am quite enjoying rallying an under prepared car. More seat time is always a good thing.

I think in this stage that is a good go. Where are you getting your Toyo's from???

Hope to see your car on the track soon. Let me know if you have any questions.

My Focus has been on more tracks than any other. LOL - Just kidding but it's always been DE or as an instructor. As for questions, did they ever get that PT point generator set up online yet? I figure I can run my 15" wheels and RA-1's if no other SF show up. That'll save the 17's for real SF racing. Plus with my lack of mods I might be running in TTF?
