some pics of the 2003 SVT Focus and detail by mystic04

[DR. WU 2000]

Some quick pics of 2003 SVT Focus I just picked up. Got to Gary's (mystic04) around 12pm and he started on the detail, didn't get to finish it all. I will be back next weekend so he can finish it up, what he did get done looked good, lots of swirls and what not now gone.:banana: Car has 23K on it, one owner car with some mods: Borla CB (center exit), which I hate and am trying to sell, some AutoMeter gauges (volts/lightshow A/F) and MSD coil and wires, aftermarket wheels that I'm not that found of and cross-drilled/slotted fronts and rears. Looking to get a Lund tune down the road and then that's it.....except for the shorthrow, rear motor mount, and K&N drop in that is coming in this week.:bash: I had to do some mods.....

looks good... I need to get a good detail. I talked with mixxer and after looking at it he asked if I was washing the car with sandpaper...lol

looks nice. I do agree on the exhaust and wheels. I had the standard borla on mine and it sounded decent for a 4 banger. Not sure about all that red on the interior.

you will love that thing. they are a blast to drive and handle great. I am telling you, throw a JRSC on it and it will be a blast. over on focaljet I went by sonicblusvt03' or something like that for a while.

I was liking everything, even the center exhaust, untill I got to the interior. The previous owner went crazy w/ the red accents, but to each his own. Other than that I like the car. Bring it to Summit Point next season, you won't even miss your Mustang then.

You should probably stop that after you get a detail. :shrug:

+1 and +1. I like the grill delete. I wonder if there's anything like that for my wife's '05 ZX3?


Def report back how you like driving it (I think I know what the answer will be). :banana:

Yes it is quite bright inside..not my style at all but I could not turn down the car just because of that, I think the previous owner had a fetish with the color red...so much of it. I am working on getting rid of the center exit. All I need is a stock tailpipe piece and the stock rear valance with the notch cut out on the left and I will be in business, should not be that hard to find. The wheels I am trying to see if anyone wants to trade the stockers for mine...not much luck yet, a think a younger person may find the wheels more their style. Just have to keep looking. So far it is a blast to drive.:thumbsup:

a kid at school has an svt focus if i see him...i will ask if he is interested in the wheels for you.

it doesn't have the notch cutout for the bumper on the driver side? take a look, they are there from the factory, so you might be able to remove whatever he did if it is covered up.

I don't think the wheels are that bad. Though I do like the stock 5 spokers.

 

[mystic04]

Really we ran out of time on sunday doing the polishing and i am only littel over half done
i still need to do the roof ,seal and wax .

I kinda like the center exit exhaust myself. Not to hot on the wheels though, they aren't really my style either.

Those little things are a BLAST to drive, even if they aren't all that quick in a straight line. But that's what turbos are for :beer:

yae J that rear valance is a FRPP, they call it a "rear difuser":??: buy that with the center exhaust which is Borla/Ford Racing...I should be able to find a stock one...I think.:dw:

Mike if you see it in person you will not like it...looks out of place and is not even level...tilts down to the right a tad, I tried to fix it at Gary's but no luck....need to get the car up in the air to get a better look. I think if I made it level and brought it up a touch it would look much better...I think I will try that first and see how I like it.

Thanx...point him this way to take a look...I can get better pics to him if he is interested.:thumbsup:
