Turbo Focus Getting Ready For Bed. - The Ford Focus Forum

**ZX3_2NV** · 10-30-2008, 10:56 AM

I don't post pics alot here on FJ but I thought I would share some pics with you guys, I finally put the car away for good this season broken tranny and all. Only a couple more things to do. I need to give the windows a nice scrape to get off some of the writing from the track. Pull out the NX Bottle out fill up the tank with some Sunoco 94 and fuel stablizer then the car cover goes on Pull The Kill Switch and Good Night

This is how she will sit till I find the Time and Money to Resurrect The Monster Inside.

I know you like my Race Bumper with all of it's stickers, Anyone wanna throw a FJ Sticker My Way.

**Stolle** · 10-30-2008, 11:07 AM

no need to scrape the windows. windex does wonders...

**2focusd** · 10-30-2008, 12:04 PM

**Nickgt40** · 10-31-2008, 09:38 AM

When's the last time you had it on the dyno?

**Spatakula** · 10-31-2008, 10:01 AM

Sucks about the transmission.

Hopefully you will get everything situated in the spring!

The piece that you are talking about is a custom piece. He got rid of the coin tray, and custom fiber glassed the hole for the gauge.

You mean you don't drive that in the winter? Why not? lol

**ZX3_2NV** · 11-03-2008, 01:39 PM

Nickgt40 Last time I had it on a Dyno was to detune it to 280 whp on 12PSI, Ive had it up to 336 and still had more in it but I didn't want to blow the tranny I did, detuned it and blew it up again.

TungfumastR Yup there Stang Wheels I'm Not 100% sure off what I've been told there from a 85 SVO stang but You really only see that style on the 86 GT's so I dunno but they 4 x 108

1badassfoci It doesn't look huge, IT IS HUGE It's A GT 37 Biggest Turbo in a Focus that I know of.

COSitsWORTHit Here are some engine bay shots as well as the car in Street Trim but you won't see it like that anymore its going all Drag Next season.

^^So no more roush front bumper?

**ZX3_2NV** · 11-05-2008, 09:06 AM

Nope It would smack on the trailer everytime I loader her up. I got fed up put it up for sale and I got what i was asking for it so I sold it everything has a price. Its a track car now I'm not planning to do any big car shows anymore I did that scene won tons of awards and I just got bored of it and its politics.

Yup..... those wheels came off of either '85 or '86 Mustang Gt/LX5.0, or '87-'90 LX 5.0.

**CaysE** · 11-05-2008, 11:14 AM

^^^Yup; the SVO wheels have rectangular slats, not circular.

**hEaT** · 11-05-2008, 07:06 PM

SVO's are 5 lug IIRC as well.

Those are the 10 holes which are 4x108. Turbine wheels and the 80's Pony wheels are 4x108 too. The offset isn't great for a stock"ish" Focus application though.

**ZX3_2NV** · 11-10-2008, 12:24 PM

They fit the wheel well just fine I even had slicks mounted on them at one point but i need to trim the fenders so they wouldn't rub

**mattellermets** · 11-17-2008, 01:07 AM

That's not loud, is it?

**ZX3_2NV** · 11-20-2008, 01:59 PM

Is what loud The Exhaust or the tire rubbing?

**247_racing_zx3** · 03-12-2009, 05:27 PM

PM me if your interested in selling the cage. =)

**ZX3_2NV** · 03-13-2009, 05:54 PM

I would part with the cage but It would need to be cut out and rewelded with no plates and keep in mind I payed about $800 for it so pm me an offer. Ohh yaa and don't forget shipping. another option is buying the vehicle as a shell.
