I'm gonna have a very busy spring in a few months. My room is full of Focus parts to be installed:
-FocusSport/VF Stage2 Supercharger
-Energy System Motor Mount
-Ford Racing 9mm Wires
-Leather SVT e-Brake handle
-Speedhut Cobalt Gauges
-Pioneer 6.5 TS-G67OM speakers for the rear
-A XCaliber2 flasher
-Paint my CF Hood and install

And I just ordered a new set of rims to go with my tires I just bought. 215-45/17 BFGoodrich g-Force KDW2s.
And I'm now saving for a new set of seats. Either Recaros out of a VW GLI or Sparco Torinos.
I can't wait til' the end of March... :P

Sounds like a good couple days work. I have to pull my tranny get it rebuilt and re-install, get my turbo rebuilt, reinstall my turbo kit, get r tuned. Damn i need tires too. Yeah it is gonna be a busy spring. I also have a bunch of work (maintenance) to do on the Eclipse.
Slower than your stock focus.

I know what ya mean. I need to get new tires, hopefully new rims.
Also I have already planned or ordered:
Euro front grill
Euro Hood latch with lock and key
Crower Stage 2 Cams
SCT Tune for higher octane and other options ;)
Respray my front bumper
Fiberglass hatch sub / nitrous bottle enclosure
Full line of autometer Guages (EGT, Nit. Press, Oil Press)
Pay off my car ;)

That's the short list, hopefully more if I can get the funds together.

Not quite sure yet, I did notice that when i pulled apart the plugs for the stock wireing harness that plugs into the hella system I noticed some brown charing on one of the plugs like something sorted out, not sure if it was the hella system that cuased it or if water or something got in there and shorted something out but right now I have jimmy rigged it with a flip switch in the cab of the car to the hella harness to turn my lights on and off until I can get some time in my dads freinds heated garage to really sit down with the volt meter and really get into it and figure it out, I've ordered a couple new relays and requested a new instalation manual to see where something might have gone wrong with it, as the hella's still work I think it is something on the stock side of the wires that is bad.

I've checked all the stock fuses, relays, ect... all are working and all of them are getting power when i turn them on, so its got to be something from the relay of the engine bay to the stock harness socket plug.

What I want to do and what gets done are always two different things for me. My list is to short. If my job pics up steam the next few months, I will certainly pick something else up. Unless...unless I sell it. For now, I'll have the stock mirror covers painted SVT style. The Mach 1 spoiler will go back on (have to prep and paint it ). Looking to replace the stock hood with one of the c/f ones I have( needs to be painted body color, and perhaps receive some customizing). I am changing wheels, just not sure to what. This will mean new tires as well.

Before anything though, I need to find the vacuum leak that's been killing off power. I hate to say it, but I may be in for a new intake manifold, as I believe mine may be cracked (early 00). I still have the stock piece as a back up. The way she runs right now, I'm calling her Clifford...after the big red DOG.

man everyones got such big plans for their cars I wish I did. My only plans are clutch, tires for my OZ rims, Baer front brake kit, and get my car tunned so it can run with over 220whp. Good luck with the FS supercharger instal it looks like a really nice kit. I was going to get one but then I got a turbo instead. I almost forgot I have to hook up my guages also I got autometer AF, n20 pressure, and boost. Good luck to all of us we're gonna have some whicked narly foci around town.

I was thinking about taking mine to a carwash :lol:


Oh, and I gotta do something different for bass. I'm really liking the space and upfront bass by the 8" sub in the door (never got around to the other door) but EVERYTHING rattles so bad all the time, so maybe I'll put a 10" in the trunk or something

Did you get rid of your hatch system? I miss the feel of ground pounding bass. I rode in Donny's Tiburon the other day, and damn, I really miss that.

The first thing I am going to do when spring hits is pull out the dish soap, claybar, buffer and my wax/polish kit. Then, I am going to bitch about all the nicks I see in the shiny black paint :x
