Lol, well he was telling me at the Bullring that he was thinking of wrapping the hood w/a matte or black vinyl which would go along w/the blacked out grille.

Wow, its fast and furious!!! Lol. Heres the idea of the hood w/the wrap on it and w/gold wheels. The headlights are not completely blacked out, but dimmed.  Heres the car w/the taillights dimmed. The rear wheel is all gold, the front has just the spokes in gold. (Just an idea)  roflmao wow thats not the Gold I was thinking of, more of a soft Racing gold here is the design I was telling Dom about! www.carsrevolution.com/the-white-suit-modification-of-2010-ford-focus-rs-by-stoffler/ |

That design fits the car cause of the body kit and wing. It would not look good on a simple clean vehicle like yours. UNLESS, you would do it in a ghost style color where it can be seen slightly...maybe it can pass, just maybe.

Coil overs for sure, and yes a good 250hp + at the tires would be about right!
I do need to re-spray my wheels one of these days, I guess I'm gonna have to stick with silver.
But the Chrome has to go, it doesn't look right to me!
and one last think, some bigger brakes, they look so small in those big wheels.

Lol. Well i agree w/getting rid of the chrome. I dont think the black would look good though, that would be too much of it in the front. Maybe color matching it or just giving it a light black tint?

Some day when you are all grown up you will learn...............lol but doing a N/A build for a nice DD is not that bad of a price, I figure it would set me back about $200-$2500 if done right! 2.3 Ranger crank $159 at FSWerks Exedy stage 1 kit $630 at FSWerks Eagle forged 2.3 rods, $300 at CFM Supertech 11.6:1 pistons $430 at CFM Stock Cams regrind $200 + shim kit $50 ($250) ARP head stud kit $160 new Head gasket $100 New Tune from FSWerks $35 Mis parts $200 Total $2200+ |

Some day when you are all grown up you will learn...............lol I think that's gonna take him awhile yet... lol but doing a N/A build for a nice DD is not that bad of a price, I figure it would set me back about $200-$2500 if done right! 2.3 Ranger crank $159 at FSWerks Exedy stage 1 kit $630 at FSWerks Eagle forged 2.3 rods, $300 at CFM Supertech 11.6:1 pistons $430 at CFM Stock Cams regrind $200 + shim kit $50 ($250) ARP head stud kit $160 new Head gasket $100 New Tune from FSWerks $35 Mis parts $200 Total $2200+ Honestly, I think if you can save up that much for N/A then you'd be much happier waiting a little while longer to save up a little extra for the turbo kit. Power potential never ends with a turbo setup compared to when you can only go so far with a streetable N/A build. I'd think running 11.6:1 compression, 93 oct or higher would be required which we dont have out here. Plus you'll be hard pressed to make 160ish hp with that NA setup where with turbo you would be safe running 230ish whp with waaay more usable, low end torque. Im in no way telling you how to spend your money on your car, its just my opinion that if your after power, then a turbo setup will be well worth the extra wait and cash. Just think of all the V8's you could keep up with going FI vs. the little factory turbo 4's you may be able to keep up with going a built N/A setup, at least that's how I look at things. |
