2 days after I bought it...


June 2010












Me vs 04 STi
YouTube - Ford Focus Vs. WRX STI


Let me know what you think.

 

Just remember...you asked!

 

LOL I'm expecting some flaming.

 

who the hell holds a camera all tilted?

 

I think it's a shame they never made the later Focus AWD. I can't stand FWD.
I wouldn't mind a turbo AWD focus. Ford just makes a prettier hatch than most other companies IMO.

You might be interesting in knowing that the Euro Focus ST is due to be sold in the US in 2012.
It's going to have 247hp and weigh a hair under 3000lbs; the interior also looks sweet.

Nice car OP. Now crank the boost up.
Quick question though, what made you go with a duratec over the zetec?

 

Pretty cool daily transportation.

 

Definitely a sweet daily but put a bullet in your camera man please.

 

I bought it new in 07 with no intentions of modding it. I just wanted a new car that got good mpg and was a manual. It wasn't until about a year later that I started to do a few things to it. Two years later... lol I never considered the Duratec vs Zetec at the time.

I love the new Focus ST that's coming to the states in 2012. I'm already saving to get one. lol

 

Decent little DD you got there. You did a pretty damn good job making it look nice, but do you really drive it around all gutted like that? I would think it would make for some annoying *** squeaks and rattles.

 

Trying to figure out why you gutted a 13 second daily driver.

 

At the time I gutted it, it wasn't my daily driver. My Mustang had the 2.3L w/ auto that I used as a daily and the Focus was an autocross *****. When the rear main seal went in the Stang, the Focus had to step up and become the daily then while I did a build on the Stang. It was cheaper for me to swap in a 5.0 than to rebuild the 2.3L.

 

I've always thought a turbo Focus would be a fun DD, especially the way the current ones look (love those multi-spoke wheels).

 

I had an '05 just like that. They were developing that turbo kit while I had mine. I had been a customer of thiers for years on the VW side and they make great stuff.

Did you upgrade the differential at all?

It still has the stock open differential. That's next on my list to upgrade.

 

That should shave a lot off of your 60'. I ran my bone stock 05 at the 1/8th just for kicks and it wouldn't hook at all. Sometimes I wish I had never sold it and grabbed a turbo...

I had a little fun last night up at Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD. I broke the Focus in the 12s!!!!

This was with M/T Drag Slicks 24.5" x 8" x 15" and a 4500rpm two step.

R/T: .133
60ft: 1.915
330ft: 5.413
1/8: 8.293
MPH: 85.87
1000ft: 10.799
1/4: 12.943
MPH: 105.39



I lined up against a fellow Mid-Atlantic Domestics member in a grudge match and I beat him on a holeshot! 13.05 > 13.02

His car is a '00 Mustang GT 4.6L SOHC 5 speed with heads/cams/cai/full exhaust/tune

I also beat a boosted Integra as well. Both runs are in this video.

 

Good job dude!

 

NO! OH GOD! Killshot! He's holding it sideways, that's a killshot!

 

The guy with the mustang needs to get his money back. 13.05 with h/c/i on anything sucks ***!

 

I was about to say driver mod, but he pulled a nice 60' running NT 555R's (from commentary on video) and the town where the OP has in his description is just over 100ft above sea level.

So something might be amiss on that 'Stang.

Either way, stout little Focus!
