Thats a pretty lake. Are your wheels chopped?

**SCCASVTF** · 10-24-2003, 02:53 AM

If you mean photoshopped or modded that's a negative ghostrider.....the pattern is full

They are the Enkei +5's with black accents. I hadn't seen any before I found them on Ebay. I just put them on with new rubber last week before we hit the "Dragon" to try them out while I was at homecoming at WCU.

Nice!!! i was gonna get those wheels at first.
Also let me tell you this before the other members eat you alive. Its best if you put all photos in one thread rather than make a new thread for each group of pictures. you can even post pics in replies. Now i hope the other jetters will be nice.

Thanks for the heads up............I appreciate you trying to keep me from getting flamed. Been tuning a long time and it never fails that a few people have nothing better to do than look for mistakes that don't mean anything. Oh well, lol, maybe I'll run into you this weekend.

I think those wheels can best be described as... "mean" looking.

**Fonzie** · 10-24-2003, 03:51 AM

NICE!!!

**SCCASVTF** · 10-24-2003, 03:59 AM

Thanks for the thumbs up on the wheels.......the sweetest thing about them to me was the weight :17lbs (stock SVT = 21.5lbs.

There's nothing quite like freeing up a little unsprung weight by getting new wheels and tires.

**FocusinZX3** · 10-24-2003, 08:14 AM

something bout that car.....oh wait

and 2 more for those wheels

Thanks for the thumbs up........the Focus was MADE for the Dragon (lol). Even saw a few WRX owner's wondering how the FWD Focus handed them their collective *#@'s in the curves while I was there (somehow I think they thought just owning a Subaru would make them a better driver

). I grew up for the most part driving the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains as a Road Racer (bicycling, Motorcyclist (CBR's) and Driving Car's). The Dragon IS the quintessential driver's road.

Beautiful car!

Great clean looking focus man! All the parts work VERY well together. What are your future plans for it?? Keep up the great work!

Ummm.......The main reason I decided to go with the Focus (haven't owned a Ford since my 65 Mustang Fastback in HS) has alot to do with the European Influence the car has gotten (always been a Huge fan of Cosworth Escorts/XR4Ti's). So far, my mods are as follow: F.C. Tbody, F.C. off-road pipe, MSD Ignition Coil, Custom CAI w/(BatInc.net DCAF Filter), Steeda SS, Focus Sport Rear STB, Ford Racing FSTB and have replaced the endlinks and Anti-sway bar bushings with Prothane Poly. Future plans include making the SVT do what it does well.......except much better. Still to come: ICross Cross drilled and slotted rotors, Mintex pads, Stainless Brake lines, Quaife LSD, Spax Coil-overs, 2000-2001 WRC Rear Upper Spoiler. JRSC w/oversized pulley (might consider the Turbo Route if I can get the compression down some so I can run a decent psi) since most of my plans either have to do with driving in the mountains or auto x-ing. That's a start......lol Just want to keep the car well balanced both performance and style wise.
