New guy with my 09 coupe

Hey guys. I got this at a insurance auction pretty cheap. My dad picked up the rims from Tousley. The car should be fixed by easter! I'm from Cottage Grove btw

Nice grab

Should look good with the Black 15 spokes

Put up some pictures of the rebuild.

At least I was not the only one who got the joke.

There's one cg cop in particular who's a real prick. I think they call him Nils or something like that.

Edit: Tree'd

Haha aww

So the car isn't done yet, but will be this week. Any suggestions for mods? I'm thinking sts, cai and a tune. Exhaust and suspension in the future

ZX2_racer · Mon Apr 25, 2011 12:32 pm

Suspension should be higher on your list, imo. Unlock the potential the car comes with instead of adding power first is my thinking. Either way, looks good. Nice grab.

Thanks! And I suppose I'll do suspension sooner. I got a steeda short ram coming from a guy on ff so far. I really wanna get a sts though if the stock shifter is anywhere near as sloppy as my mustang was.

strut tower braces from massive

H&R sway bars, and some coilovers

, upgraded sway bar endlinks as well. and ur set

for suspension;). the focus has so many aftermarket parts available its a really fun car to shop for

i know im late but welcome to the group, looks like a good find. cant wait to see it when its done. not many of us have the 08-11 body style. I agree that one should work on handling before power. no use having more power with no way to put it down or use it.
