Guy's name is Mike Steere. National autoX competitor. Actually turns out he knows Omni here and says to say "hi." and "the rear suspension is redone."

**Nliiitend1** · 06-22-2008, 06:00 PM

That, right there, is a thing of beauty.

Awesome!

My Dream Car Almost.

**David Anderson** · 06-22-2008, 06:26 PM

If thats not a race car, im not sure what is.

**TXFO** · 06-22-2008, 06:55 PM

rear tires are the same size as the front tires. just to fit wide tire likethose you have to space them out so they won't rub when turning

**o2_designs** · 06-22-2008, 07:21 PM

Just to be an ass, I'll say it needs a tint and drop...lol j/k.

That car is amazing! There is not much I don't like about it.

That front bumper needs to be ditched asap tho...

And those wheels are Amazing!

**Ray** · 06-22-2008, 07:33 PM

what's wrong with the front bumper?

Mmm nice. How'd it sound and do in the rain?

**CT SVT** · 06-22-2008, 10:03 PM

the exhaust note isn't loud its nice and deep. the ITB are loud

**COSitsWORTHit** · 06-23-2008, 12:37 AM

Holy ALL MOTOR! I'd kill to rev that to 12k! Those Kodiak wheels are bad ass...I want my car to be just like that, but I has no money for engine builds and rebuilds.

**BRZX3R** · 06-23-2008, 07:41 AM

That Focus is a plethora of bad ass parts! Moton dampers, Accusump, what looks to be Tilton pedals, and just about everything else I dream of having on my CP Mustang. I really like the rear spoiler on the hatch, I had made a prototype of one just like that for my ZX3. I decided not to install it in the end, but I am glad to see someone else with the same idea.

Job well done in construction!

**Full_Metal_Focus** · 06-23-2008, 10:04 AM

WOW! That is freaking sweet.

Wider tires means more surface area for friction in the turns... I bet that thing hugs like no other.

Sweet car!

**Reza** · 06-23-2008, 11:05 AM

Moton??????

WTF? they are like $8000

**BRZX3R** · 06-23-2008, 11:08 AM

It is not uncommon to run smaller tires in the rear for FWD autocross cars to encourage oversteer. With the rear suspension completely redsigned, he most likely dialed in the balance he was looking for with the suspension and that allows him to run massive tires in all 4 corners.

Anyone know how much this thing weighs? Also, anyone heard from Schnack lately? This car reminds me of his silver 2000 ZX3.

**OmniFocus** · 06-23-2008, 11:12 AM

Excellent.

I see a lot of changes since the last time I saw this car.
