it's time for me to sell the 95... i wanted to get a sporty car thats also economical, so on wednesday, i bought a 2003 sonic blue SVT focus! it has about 76,000 miles, nice paint, and plenty of upgrades including a set of nitto NT01's for the track. it will be my daily driver and i will occasionally autocross it- it's going to pretty dang well in both categories!!
it has H&R springs, adjustable koni's, front and rear adjustable camber plates (can change camber +/- 1 degree in less than 30 minutes- very trick!), chassis brace, goodyear eagle F1's, drilled & slotted rotors, EBC green stuff pads, cai, UD crank pulley, power chip, and high flow cat. also came with the factory upgraded "audiophile" sound system with 6 disk in-dash changer and 8" sub that sounds awesome and gives the mach 460 a run for its money!
to my great surprise, it's as fast as the 95 (with 3.73s and a catback) from a roll, and it'll probably do just as well off the line. it has a 6-speed with factory STS, factory HID's, gets over 30mpg on the freeway, handles and brakes very well, seats 5, great luggage capacity, weighs about 2500 pounds, and it has FOUR cupholders!!!
the only downside to the svt package is that it doesnt have a center console. it's a weird feeling after being able to rest my arm in the mustang for the past 3 years... the only problems with this particular car is- it was in a light accident and had to replace the front bumper. whoever was doing the work did it as cheap as possible and put a stock focus bumper on it, and did not prep it very well before paint. the color matches, but the quality is terrible. the hood also doesnt line up well with the headlight near the drivers side fender.
weather has been crummy the past couple days, but i managed to get some decent pictures when the rain stopped for a few hours.
