I gotta give it to Frush, he's went through so much to get the car back in the beautiful state that it's in right now

Truly an honor to have gone from a dead car just over a month ago to now being listed among such great examples of automobile machinery. Big thanks to all those that got me here and to those that nominated and voted. I can't even believe I'm listed with such Focaljet royalty.

Gringo has a nice ride, lotta wrench time there, and it just looks clean. Plus didn't I read he had to put a new clutch in right before driving to FOTB. He's got my vote!

Frush needs to be Frush, et al, for all the people that were responsible for getting that thing back on the road in time for FOTB.

Lorin, Rob, Lee for the wrenching... all of Norcal and SoCal who donated to the replacing the motor fund.... FocusSport for the replacement parts at a cost that worked within the budget.

I too have to say FRUSH!

Frush, you are a prime example of a guy that just wont quit at something you love. I remember the first time i saw your car, and you saying to me that it was just gonna be a day to day driver. LOOK AT YOU NOW! NOMINATED FOR ROTM!!! SCHWEET!!!

Yeah we you had some tough times, but i think it turned out alright. Maybe you shouldnt have listened to me when we said we could install that S/C by our selves. HAHA, err well it turned out good man. Keep it up!

I love bela's car.

But...

I have cash invested in Frush's car, and she's a stone-cold stunnah.

Frush for FOTM!

I think Teds car is NA (it's a spec focus) car.

Seems like I would have been better off having other people help pay for my parts and wrench on my car, rather than doing it myself



Either way, it was awesome what Frush did to make it to FOTB. I thought I was pressed for time with my blown manifold and tuning issues, but to have to rebuild an engine... WOW..

Well done big guy

First I would like to give thanks for those who voted for me. It's a great honor to even be consider for FOTM

belacyrf, you got my vote because your car is one of the first car that inspire me to mod my '01 white ZX3 I just bought the ST170 headlights, and was hoping that it would make my car looks as cool as yours
