    She's ready to roll!

    After years of being parked, she lives again. Blower is sold, Zex kit is sold. Basically back to stock, kinda sad actually. These things are so slow in stock form. Full exhaust, mounts, shifter, and other stuff is staying on the car. New tires and brakes on fri, and time for her to find a...

    2002 Sonic 30K FS

    Parked for the last 3 yrs, she's gonna need some love. Check out the cardomain page below for pics etc. I'm taking the blower and nitrous off. Car has always been tuned safe, and well maintained, so should have lots of good years left in her. Any questions, shoot me a PM. Or call...

    If I sell, how much should I ask?

    Original owner, 2002 sonic SVTF. JRSC, ZEX, etc etc etc. 31Kmiles, stored for the last 2+yrs. Needs tires badly. I have many new mod parts, pulleys etc. Should I install and get tuned for max hp, then sell? I just bought a 470hp turbo accord, and I might keep it. Just tossing around the...

    So I bought a turbo Accord!

    NEW 6 speed SVT Focus Tranny

    It's new in the box, still coated with anti-corrosion lube from the factory. I need money more than I need to build this thing. $1999 plus shipping($175ish, it weighs 110lbs). Get a fresh tranny under there, and get going! These things retail for $3495 from Ford. I'll accept cash, money...

    FS: (4) 30# injectors from the SVTF

    I've got them on ebay too, but they'll go for $59. New would be close to $150. Tell your buddies with regular foci or could be half a set for a mustang. E-

    Installed the pass side VF mount!

    I got a great deal on ebay($91 shipped) on the VF Pass side mount, and installed it this morning, not too bad on the install. Big difference in vibration at idle, and driving hard is tighter(tough to quantify, but it feels great). I love it! I already have the poly inserts in the lower mount...

    Darn JRSC alt mount!

    I've now had the upper bracket unscrew itself from the blower and drop the alternator twice. So this time I used thread locker. It doesn't stop the car, it just lands the alternator on the oil filter, which could be bad. Just ranting, cause now I have 2 skinned knuckles. Thanks for...

    to all my SVTF brothers...

    This is off topic, but you guys are like extended family so I can ask here. I'm in the beginning stages of opeing a gym. It'll be small, 3000sq ft, so no tennis or pool. But tell me what you think it should have in it. I'm gonna do a dry heat sauna in the men's locker room, and a whirlpool...

    How to intercool a JRSC?

    Could I run coolant lines through the intake? If I drilled holes and ran some type of metal tubing through the intake(under the blower) a couple times, and attached those to a heat exchanger like the cobras and lightnings, should that work? Another question. Do those systems have a pump of...

    First time at the 1/8th mile in NC!

    I brought the SVTF to the local eighth mile last sat. Lots of fun. Ran consistent 9.3s with no launch to speak of and no nitrous. It's over pretty quick, I'm used to the 1/4. The integra ran 10.9, pretty good for a 15 year old, non-vtec, auto. The focus still needs some more tuning, I'm a...

    Random thought..

    I put the ORP back on yesterday, I was tired of a (too) quiet car. Now she sounds great. I think it sounds different than it did pre-tune. Possible? Anyway, she sounds great!! Made my whole week. E-

    Cars are cool....

    In Haywood Custom speed for 10 hours yesterday due to icy conditions, I got to see some good stuff. Procharged 04 Mach 1. Twin 46mm turbos on a 04 GT conv auto. Randy's 05' mustang body that will in 8-9 months be a 7 second car. A 10"lifted 97' F-150 getting a 02' Lightning powertrain swap...

    Tuned up!

    Got back on the dyno with Predator in hand yesterday. In Aug we ran it and I was really lean, so I pretty much parked it. Now it's smooth and happy. We got the a/f ratio under control and picked up about 25-35 hp in the mid range. Up top we didn't get much more. But the numbers are as...

    Ok, no 15". How about a 16" DR/slick tire?

    If I can't go 15, I want to go 16" since I already have the rims. But I've had a hard time finding a drag radial, or slick. I've tried Falken Azenis Sport(racing tire). Even heated up, it seemed to spin as bad or worse than the stockers. Ideas, opinions? E-

    Any 15" rim gonna fit?

    Is there anybody who has even heard of a 15" rim fitting on the front wheels? I heard some guy in Albany, NY had some special "JDM" Mazda wheels from a turbo 626 only avail in Japan. He then had the wheels machined to allow them to fit over the front brake caliper. I know that may have...

    Just a reminder.

    To those of you who might ever think your SVTF is not a great car. Try driving a 1990 Integra GS Auto every day, instead of your "Sonic Blue Azz Kicker" Focus. I open the door to the garage in the morning and look at her waiting for me. Not hopping in makes me want to vomit. Then I head for...

    Is it possible?

    My car seems to be alot smoother in the low rpms, and have a little more up top. All from a new alternator? Is it possible that the old alt was not giving the coil enough juice, ETC? Or am I imagining things? The car definitely starts better than she has, ever. I think I never had enough...

    Alternator install=pain in the azz!

    I finally got the alternator installed yesterday! Took me several more hours than I expected. Due to the supercharger location, I had to take the alt out under the car, between the front subframe and the steering rack. It just barely fits. But now she's up and running, and seems stronger...

    What's up Venom?
