It all started about 5 years ago when i purchased this car. This was to be my 2nd focus as the previous focus I had was lost in the canyon. This is my everyday transportation. I began modding it by putting basic bolt ons (I,H,E) rims and body kit. As much time as I was tinkering with the car, I spent many hours browsing at Focaljet. I learned so much from this site throughout the years, as it became my daily online routine. I would have to say 80-90% of the parts from my car came from other Jetters.

There were many trial&Errors I had with this car, four differnt seats, 3-4 kinds of bumpers, 5+ sets of wheels, and many more. Thank God for the For Sale Section, I was able to get some of my money back, LOL. It had many phases, from Fast & the Furious styling to the very mellow phase.

But it was only until recently where I really fell in love with it, thanks to Focussport. After selling 1 of my sportbikes, I finally made the commitment to buying focussport's turbo kit, and from this day on, there is no going back. The car makes such great power, it was like learning how to drive all over again. It was definitely worth it to this point, even if I had to count every dollar I spent on this car.

For quite awhile now I've tried to keep the car a sleeper due to CA laws. I've taken out all probable cause, quietened it down w/2 mufflers, factory ford wheels, and oem euro bumpers. I'm not sure where the car is headed, but I do know that I want more boost and build the motor. So everything that must be done on this car has to work on the street. So far everything is intact and problem free but even if there's a problem, I'm glad there's other Jetters that can stand by me. It's an awesome car and Thanks everyone who voted!

Beautiful car except for the wheels. Sure they may be good for perfomance, but they look dumb.

The "dumb" gold Rotas were sold a while ago. He's on stockers right now.
