^ What are your long term plans for Rattletrap? And forced induction in it's future?

**hafftrak** · 07-09-2009, 12:39 AM

Just going to enjoy it like it is for a while, probably a few small mods. Who knows what'll happen down the road.

**focuspl99** · 07-09-2009, 12:40 AM

^ I just assumed so because your already talking about new wheels, and thats not a "small mod" in my book lol

regardless, the pics look great and enjoy~!!

**Pappy** · 07-09-2009, 01:02 AM

Didn't see you were on here. Great meeting you at the AutoX Dean. Keep it up those times will drop (especially once you dump that auto tranny)....

**hafftrak** · 07-09-2009, 01:13 AM

Yeah, the auto's gotta go... do you have the number of that dude you were telling me about with all the Focus parts?

**CrUziN4L** · 07-09-2009, 09:56 AM

Yeah, that was kind of driving me nuts.

Ugh, you have a lift to play with?! Now I'm really jealous

And ya, that tip always bugged me too, but I just always kept telling myself that it was motivation to get a new exhaust; as you can see that didn't work too well

**hafftrak** · 07-10-2009, 11:35 PM

Pics to make Brian jealouser (i know it's not a word):

**2focusd** · 07-10-2009, 11:42 PM

That's your garage?!

-Brian

**hafftrak** · 07-10-2009, 11:48 PM

No, It's a company I occasionally do some work for. We sell those lifts, I just put that one together before I put the car up on it.

edit: If it were my garage, it would be a lot more organized! All that **** all over the place really bugs me.

**hafftrak** · 07-21-2009, 07:31 PM

Tilt/telescope column (with leather SVT wheel!)... seriously, this mod is so easy there is no excuse not to have one.

Up

Down

Under the dash eh?

Giggity giggity gooo

**Spatakula** · 07-21-2009, 10:45 PM

LMAO..... wow.

-spatakula

**2focusd** · 07-21-2009, 11:12 PM

That's been mine when I did cathodes and wired everything up neatly I bet

The new column and wheel look great though, Dean

-Brian

**Pappy** · 07-22-2009, 12:05 PM

Get the parts from Al?

**mrs2focusd** · 07-22-2009, 12:08 PM

yep, that's too light to be me, that's brian's

but either way that's freaking hilarious!

**hafftrak** · 07-23-2009, 08:28 PM

Yeah, I found a few more light colored curly hairs when I removed the cathodes... They are in my friend's new Alumacraft boat, they make great night lighting for fishing.

Nils, I got this and most of the parts I need for the SVT brake swap from Chris, the dude with the camo-primered SVT. I still need to call Al for the trans swap stuff I am going to need.

**CaysE** · 07-24-2009, 01:19 PM

I am LOVING this thread.

**hafftrak** · 09-24-2009, 06:26 PM

Couple of new mods...

Rear wiper delete

Blaupunkt MP3 player

A big thanks to focushacks.com for the how-to on the MP3 wiring harness. Works perfect.

**2focusd** · 09-24-2009, 07:10 PM

As you already know, I LOVE your choice of head unit

How'd you eventually get the rear wiper to come off? Had I know you were gonna do that, I would've sent you the Integra Type R (really, that's what it's from!) rear wiper delete that I bought on eBay before Carlisle. I still have that sitting here and have no use for it, so if you want a spare, let me know and I'll send it to you as a gift

-Brian

**biscuitninja** · 09-25-2009, 01:26 AM

what kinda rims are those?

**hafftrak** · 09-25-2009, 02:23 AM

EAPs. I think Brian painted them antique bronze metallic.

Yep you can send that lift over my way, I have no problem parking my mustang on it.

organized..... I like to as well, however I married a woman that is somewhat not. It drives me nuts, but ya know.
