lol thanks, i hear focus comparisons all the time. i've even been fooled when i see a focus in oncoming traffic.

Nice!

I just went through a set of XSs on my Mazdaspeed 3. Fantastically sticky tire.

They're sure loud as Hell though, especially once they get a bit more worn.

Nice EP.

Nice Civic. It is one of the bodystyles I really like. Welcome to Focaljet.

Great choice in tires! But that new tire looks significantly taller than your old setup. That's not going to mess too much with your car's gearing on course is it? That's the reason I didn't go with the size you chose. It would have made my gearing even taller and killed my acceleration out of the corners.

225/50 is actually the same diameter as the 205/55 used on the 04-05 model of my car. it looks a little taller because my old set-up was under sized.

the ep has a terrible 0-60 because our first gear is so short. my club tends to run a lot of events on the englishtown road course so the slightly taller gearing should let me get that much more out of it in the straights before hitting the rev limiter.

the tires are amazing btw, im gonna keep stealing your ideas until i own a focus.

LOL that's funny... the SVT has a terrible 0-60 because 1st gear is so tall.

Until the supercharger goes on!

Welcome from another Jersey member. Is that first pic an NJTuners meet in Union?

**CaysE** · 08-18-2009, 06:42 PM

It's probably better... Edgewater got shut down hard this year, so I've heard. LOL
