Popular Post SVT_Nick Posted July 11, 2008 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey, names Nick Smith. I live on campus area, been meaning to join the site for awhile but never got around to it. Other forums I'm on would be FocusFanatics.com which I moderate on and the thecarlounge.com are the two most frequent. I go to DeVry University in case any other members go there. I work at a bike shop in Gahanna and it pretty much sucks, I also work for RedBull which pretty much rules. Anywho...on with the car. 2002 Sonic Blue SVT Focus, #0024 which means it was one of the first 25 to roll off the line and the guy at SVT said it was the lowest number he's seen.

TURBOED Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Welcome and very cool car. I've often thought about picking one of those up as my daily. I'd imagine the SC would make it that much more fun. Along with everyone else, I'm wondering about power numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT_Nick Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 ....that's too bad, we're all such huge civic fans on here. I like the intro though, well done. That was meant more as sarcasm..lol. My bad. Thanks guys. As far as numbers, I don't know that exact amount. When I had it installed a few years ago, it made 189whp and 160w/tq at 5psi. Now I have the Ford Racing boost upgrade and a custom tune from LaSota Racing, should be around 220whp/180-190wtq. It's far from the fastest thing out there but for a daily it's damn fun car. TO be honest, I've never really run at the track. Guess it never struck my fancy although I am curious what it would run but until I get a new clutch, I can't launch the thing to hard. Was dicking around one day and went to launch and it slipped pretty bad. And to some of the Focus comments, to be honest I was never a big fan of them at all. I was working at a dealership and it came in on trade, drove it once and was hooked. It's such a fun car to drive even stock. I'm still not a huge Focus fan but I love my car. Thanks for the positive comments, I usually get hated on for driving what I do so it's nice to see people outside the Focus community giving praise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT_Nick Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Not too shabby dude, you should get a header to open up the airways a little more. I personally hate focus's (foci?) but yours is nice. Actually. The SVT header was designed by Cosworth, it flows better than I believe every aftermarket option available. Although a cat delete or high flow cat is in the plans. They were out of stock when I ordered my new brakes or I would have got one. They are supposedly good for 7whp/9wtq on a stock one so hopefully I would net some even better increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT_Nick Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Decent car, but you have done the right modifications to make it really good. Welcome! Thanks! I've always been a fan of OEM+ styling, not over the top but the right subtle mods can go a long ways. Can't complain about the performance of it either. For a reliable DD, it's perfect. My only gripe is about 3 months after I bought the Jackson kit, Procharger released their centrifugal blower that gives a good bit higher gains AND is intercooled which mine is not . There are guys on the Focus boards running 12psi making 280whp/250wtq out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Welcome. Never thought I'd hear myself say this, but tastefully done Focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 When i clicked on this I thought I was going to see a horrible focus , but I am wrong. Even with me not being a fan of them you can tell you did every possible way to keep it clean and semi stock while adding performance upgrades to your car. Good into man!

phil Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 btw that first pic of the car, is sick looking, where was that done at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 i'm sure it took them about 100 at least to get things right, so it looks like you're s.o.l. j/k tastefully done for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
