Cool Newbee to this awesome forum!

Name is Manny, and I'm a FORD addict!! Curently we have a 2002 Harley Davidson F150, a 2003 Supercharged Roush Mustang and a 2005 Focus ZX5 SES. Yesterday I was on google looking for a 2005 Focus Aux input cable and I found this awesome site. Searched on how to take out the factory radio and wala you guys have a thread with pics. I gotta say, that made my day. Here are a couple of pics of my Focus and of the little video mod I just finished.

I need to lower it, and turbo charge it!!!

Here is a pic of my engine. Dino'd @ 457rwhp and 452rwtq

I actually came { } close to buying the exact year/ color last year, saved 9k buying my 01 zx3.

As for the 05 go the full roush route! The body kit roush sells is my favorite and with a drop it'll look hawt.

Thats cool Omar, I'm a former VP of MOCC (Mustang Owners Club of California) we have a car show in Van Nuys (Woodley park in June) and a show in LA (Perterson Museum in Sept.) I use to live in North Hills but since I bought a house in Palmdale, I haven't driven the Roush as much. Let me know how it goes with your club, I'm pretty sure I can make some meets.

Trust me I don't want to, but it is sitting here collecting dust. I drove it Monday, and I gotta tell you, it makes me think twice about selling it. I have my eyes on a SHELBY!

When I saw this car sitting in the back lot @ Galpin Ford, I had to have it. Didn't care about the price. It is comfortable as hell, leather seats, moonroof, premium sound. I have a 110 mile a day work round trip but I cruise it in style!!

Thanks, yeah I hate when I find pictures of the Roush. I will buy another one soon. I love the Focus, I've had a few people stop me to ask me what the car is. I guess some people don't know that the Focus also came in a 5 door Hatchback. I'm also leaning towards the V8 swap.
