This car as in, his new Duratec that has been around a bit?

...or, his old unreasonably similar Zetec powered '00 that was murdered in a wreck?

I love it

**focus-blue** · 06-15-2008, 11:40 PM

Very cool car. It is clean and subtle. I always love a well put together white Focus, especially with bronze Rotas.

**sanzx360** · 06-16-2008, 12:56 AM

Looks somewhat familiar, I wonder why.....

**Bparks717** · 06-16-2008, 01:26 AM

im gonna have to say i hate for making me ruin my pants

**CheckMyVitals** · 06-16-2008, 02:33 AM

SUCH a nice combo.

Those mirrors are amazing. So incredibly hard to find now. And by hard, I mean impossible.

Believe me. He didn't get the idea from you

**CTZX3** · 06-16-2008, 05:03 PM

I got it from the guy that sells it on ebay

**besthaticouldo** · 06-16-2008, 05:09 PM

nice car dude!

**03ZX3drew** · 06-16-2008, 06:36 PM

I guess I'll be the first to say it. I don't like it. I like the color and the style, but they don't really "fill out" the car. It just looks awkward with those wheels on there.

**theonly287** · 06-16-2008, 06:39 PM

how do you like the ebay bumper you have i heard the urethane is extremely thin but yours looks fantastic

The look is subtle, and it's due to practical function instead of some blingy style.

Smaller wheels and tires are lighter and therefore contain less rotating mass, allowing quicker acceleration and better braking.

A smaller overall tire diameter positvely affects the car's "effective" final drive ratio in the form of greater torque multiplication for quicker acceleration.

In other words, this car would click off quicker laptimes than an indentically-prepped and tire'd Focus with larger, heaver wheels with tires exhibiting a larger overall diameter.

I like the look; again, it's subtle.

**MachFive** · 06-16-2008, 08:54 PM

Looking damn good, Chris. It's like 2002 all over again!

What are pics of someone else's car doing here in CTZX3's Rigz thread? They need to become links instead.

Well, I was just judging on looks alone. But for practicality, especially in race applications, then the wheels are perfect. Small, light weight wheels. I just didn't know he took the car to the track.
