An Ode to my 5000th Post!!! A trip down Memory Lane - Focaljet

**j20000** · 01-07-2008, 02:35 PM

Well, I've been on here for a few years now, and made a couple of what I hope will be life long friends. Thank you to all of my [FJ]Friends. Here are a few pics of the good, the bad, and the ugly along the way.

Came back from Iraq to this in 2003...

had her painted...

Threw on a JRSC/BBK, ST170's, some Crower Stg 1 cams and a 5.7" crank pulley...

Thank you Mr. Stout (Airforcefocus)

Went to FocusSport for some tuning,

Hit a tire and blew my motor (not at the same time)

Got an F2 bumper and got rid of the CF hood.

Cleaned up the new motor,

Painted my gauge surround the wrong color.

Painted it flat black later

Went to a couple FOTB's

and sold the old girl

(to a young girl ironically

)
Bye Bye Focus

But she had a good replacement.

The wife got a new car

Dressed up the Z a little.

And moved to Pennsylvania:

Thanks for looking.

Ah, the only good thing about living with Emily was that garage, and driveway.

**j20000** · 01-07-2008, 02:51 PM

yeah...thats what it looks like huh?

Thanks CT_SVT

**j20000** · 01-07-2008, 02:52 PM

Oh yeah...THANKS RYAN for helping me install that supercharger, and allowing my car to sit in your garage for 3 days while my ECU came back.

While I am thanking people, THANKS MIKE (whiteboyslo) For letting my car sit in your garage for a week when my motor blew up, and I was putting the new one in.

**Danny_C** · 01-07-2008, 03:45 PM

Justin that was a lovely focus you had and reading the posts you made about the JRSC helped me when i decided to get one for my mondeo (and thanks for the help by pm's too.)

the z is a real sexy looking ride and is one car i'd like to own

**j20000** · 01-07-2008, 03:51 PM

Thanks Danny, it my my pleasure to help. Thank you for the tuning card by the way, that really helped me sell the JRSC.

**Danny_C** · 01-07-2008, 04:11 PM

no worries

**Steven2000** · 01-07-2008, 04:21 PM

5,000 posts! You joined a year after me and I barely have 1,400 posts! You sir, are a true FJ fanatic!

Nice Z BTW! Really diggin' the last pic of it.

**focuspl99** · 01-07-2008, 04:46 PM

i wonder what i'll be driving when i hit 10,000 posts

lol

**3xzsucof** · 01-07-2008, 05:07 PM

the z and the latter life of the focus are sexy

**zetecgt** · 01-07-2008, 05:50 PM

**mievil** · 01-07-2008, 06:23 PM

Speaking of new signatures.

I haven't had one for over a year, but that was just to nice to pass up.

Dave...this is information that would have been better left between you and the wifey! Not publicized for everyone around the world to see! LOL

**frdfocszx3** · 01-07-2008, 08:20 PM

Sweet looking Z.

**zetecgt** · 01-07-2008, 08:21 PM

As long as I can spread some laughter around the world...it's well worth it guys!

I won't post pics though......be thankful of that.....

dave.

**BroncoBusterZero** · 01-07-2008, 09:19 PM

that evo kit is soooooooooo UGLY!!! lol

love the focus with the new bodykit tho. Z looks great.

**j20000** · 01-07-2008, 10:47 PM

Thanks....that Evo kit was on there back in 2001 when thats all there was...that and the avenger kit...which I thought was way uglier. I bought the car back in 2000 and there was basically no parts available for it. I bought everything that was on the car twice...at least. Body kits, springs, hoods, headlights, tail lights. It was all replaced at one point or another...some of it more than once. I wish I would have joined the site back then, I would have been one of the first members. My old focus was built in August 1999...so I'm sure it was one of the first US Foci's.

Thanks everyone.

**H8SUVS** · 01-08-2008, 12:12 AM

Congrats on the post count! We sure had some good times, I kinda miss the green meanie.....life was so much simpler when we ALL had Foci.

**whiteboyslo** · 01-08-2008, 09:53 AM

as long as you're at it, thank Chalz too. it was his garage as well. man i miss that place.

Mike

**fofofan24** · 01-08-2008, 11:56 AM

WOW love the focus but the Z does look nice

That garage was definetely awesome. I need to get into another place like that. There's no garage like a garage that smells like blown engine.

Where did your Focus end up going, Justin? I can't remember if it stayed local or not. I saw a good looking green Focus going the other way on the freeway a couple days ago, but it was too sunny to tell.

**j20000** · 01-08-2008, 02:21 PM

I sold the Focus to a 16 year old girl that lived up near Santa Monica I believe. She popped in here to [FJ] twice i think, but never came back. I heard from someone on here that knew her that she had a family problem with her parents and a little falling out, and they took the car, and it was never seen again.

**LornesBored** · 01-08-2008, 03:45 PM

any pics of the young girl you sold it to?

16yrs old is legal in my country
