Minnesota Focus Owners Club

So after throwing on the throttle body today, I'm looking forward to a second job this summer, so the SVT can get a few fun presents.

Planned so far:
Custom intake (ram air, with a pipercross-style add-on utilizing stock airbox)
Exhaust (center exit if $$ allows, but probably just a standard Borla)
SCT tune from focussport
Either header wrap or ceramic coated header, and a high-flow cat(maybe)
Possibly a lightweight aluminum flywheel from focussport (so i can still use cheap stock clutches)

What do you guys think? Good/bad/ugly?

Turbo it.
build your own.

TD05 DIY Flange $35
TD05 Evo3 16G $550 (good for ~330whp)
Ebay diy FMIC kit $220
1st gen DSM BOV $25
MBC $25
bigger injectors $200
Boost and wideband gauges $250
Misc oil lines and fittings $100
custom tune $400

BAM

$1,800 and a weekend in the garage nets you a quick focus

throw in a stage 3 clutch kit and LSD
and you've got yourself one bad ass focus

I would, but I can't afford to muck up my daily driver too badly.

I'm planning on:

a wash mod
swapping the engine lubricant
checking tire pressure

Mario Andretti would be proud

oh, I'm also going to do a selling my motorcycles and buying a SV650 (or a Vstrom if I can find one)

mnfocus does'nt have the space for Nils' and I to list the summer mods...


But the mods you have listed so far seem pretty good. Any susp mods? Not sure what you have done so far...

Eh, it's stock SVT suspension....and it's cornering limit is far beyond mine. Besides, I really don't wanna drop a car that gets driven in MN in the winter. I do eventually wanna get another car for winter and throw a PWSC in the SVT...maybe make it a black RS widebody eventually, if money allows.

The wagon is dropped and DD in teh winter...

I'm dumb and stobburn. So I understand.

but yeah, the basic engine mods sounds good.

yeah, I'm just looking to let the motor breathe a little freer, run a little smoother and rev just a wee bit quicker...nothing too dramatic until I have another car so I can afford to leave the SVT in the garage to putz with.
