Minnesota Focus Owners Club

So... I skipped school today and washed my car. alot.
no more dusty dash. no more junk all over.
just like new I says!



Here's all the crap I took out-


The winter and Ford's shitty stock brake pads have taken their toll on my poor wheels
They need a serious washing in the spring.

but the rears look like new!




Type X's in the doors


new shift knob


back seats are overrated. but I did need a crate for my school books


I also centered and extended the Borla tip just a bit. I've been neglecting that 5-minutes task




Whatcha think??

Looking very good. I miss my little silver hatch...

The wheels just look odd tho, never a fan of those. But all well. Your hatch.

Is the knob a Mustang or Fiesta knob?

Lookin clean! Clean those front wheels, haha. Its not that hard, I need to clean my car too

not sure what the knob is from. I got it from cfm along with my poly inserts last weekend

As for the wheels, I have always had mixed feelings about them. Sometimes they look great, othertimes I don't like them. But they always look odd in pictures. I just can't figure out how to photograph them.

Mustang.

it's much more comfortable to use than the stock rubber one I had. I wasnt expecting that.

Nice N' Clean

sry man that tach kills me...

But i could use a lesson in cleaning a car, nice FN work.

I know!
I hate the tach now
I have it there purely for it's function. it's not at all aesthetically pleasing.
I need to find a 2-1/4 one to tuck away in the cluster or just break down and buy a stock cluster w/ tach
I'm sick of people calling me a ricer simply because of the tach... I'd never heard anything but comments before it and I'm sick of defending myself.

MMMM, Make ur own gauge Cluster that would be Nice! I don't know if I could do something like that though prolly easier than I think it is. Wires Scare me!!

wires dont bother me at all. the whole point was to have a working tach on a budget.
The ugly thing on my dash was MUCH cheaper than getting a stock cluster reprogrammed and in there
I'd LOVE to make my own cluster with some bad-ass Defi gauges but that ain't happening until I'm rich. and I won't be driving a focus by that time.

Doesnt look Ricer to me, looks more like 400hp drag car to me.

I just swapped mine out for one with a tach, cant you do the same?

We have to have them reprogrammed for the 07's Don't recall why.
Back when I was looking for a cluster w/ similar miles (12,800 now) I was looking at at least $250 w/ the reprogramming by Ford.

might want to look into that. As far as I can find from 05 up you can swap. the mileage stays with the cluster, so yes in order to get "correct" mileage it needs to be programmed. Get one a little higher mileage and wait until it matches and you should be OK.
