99StockGT Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I had a yellow 2003 Spec v with some bolt-ons. Fucking miss that car so bad, slow as it was. The Focus ST is kind of the modern version of it. Torquey and fun for a 4 cylinder, but not that fast. I'm sure you know about the butterfly valves. Also, the 2002s had shorter gear on (I'm pretty sure) 2nd gear. And I'm also assuming the header you have on is catless. If not, change it out for a catless one ASAP! Well given this is for "track purposes only" yes went with a non-catted header and full stainless all the way back. Should be loud and deep and only slightly annoying They definitely aren't fast but the low end torque isn't bad at all for a N/A 4cyl, should have a bit more rev range with the new headwork also. So, anyone else going down this Fast and Furious tuning path with me? Or kicking around ideas and browsing the lists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get a free Festiva, I'll give you a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0n8 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 As a show of hands, how many people paying attention to this thread have built/are building/shopping to build something from this era? Will I be a one man wolf pack out there in my riced out Nissan? Does my wagon count? it's an '04 Would love to have a Mazdaspeed Protégé again, but with a KL swap this time around. Could probably never find that hood again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably never find that hood again. I absolutely loved those cars, had a friend with rich parents who bought him one brand new and the thing was a BLAST to drive. Likely wouldn't be something easy to find that hasn't been driven to within an inch of its life and very poorly maintained though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
