Completely unnecessary here.



The paint looks great. I don't know about $100K invested into that car though. If you didn't want people to address such a comment, you should have left it out. Knowing cars fairly well, I don't think $100K was put into the car.



Regardless, the paint looks great! What did you use on the tires?
 
I wish you had more pictures of the car, but I do believe the 100k. Just one look at the interior with all the fiberglass work. $$$ adds up very quick. I knew of a VW GTI from NY that I'd see at car shows that had well over 100K invested in it and that was in 2001- 2003. It isn't hard to do.



I am sorry that some of the members are hostile. I don't get it.



What system is in the car?



The car looks great! :up:up:up
 
Well thank and yes my mistake I put a dollar value on my post

But tell you the truth I am proud of the car and call me out as much as you want



I am on this board for one reason



That reason is the same reason as most of you the passion for detailing cars



I am not here to start anything

I thought it would be nice to post the car since it looks good (I think)

I have not taken pic of my work cuz: 1. digital cam were not all over when I worked in the industry (I could scan a few but would not look good?)



As for lately (past 5-10 years) I have not taken any pics of my work cuz I have had no reason too I mean no one to share them with until now I find a bunch of people to share them with



So sorry I caused all this next time I will double think what I post
 
Whilst I appreciate the amount of work you've put into the vehicle, I did not learn anything from your post. Others post befores, afters and products used including "during" shots.
 
I'm a huge focus fan. Member of a few clubs specifically for the ford focus. Very nice focus, like the interior. I'd like to see more of the interior.



The headers look like OBX 4:1 racing headers, can't see it but one would also assume that there is a cat back under that car as well? 300+ hp in a focus (2 door at that) is insane! :)



edit:



I dont see a double turbo in that thing, it just wont fit, however a single turbo will fit with some help ;)



and what looks like the Mach 170's Euro style front head lamps? Did you do the LED rear lights as well?
 
look delete this post as all i did was put the car up cuz of its paint and how it looked



sorry to everyone

if you like i will post the final post on this i do not want to hear any more

like i said i dont know any of you and i am not here to start anything please delete this post

2002 Ford Focus SVT Saleen



Production #: 2685

Saleen kit S/N#: 0061



Owned by: Dean W. Ellis

Location: Toronto, Canada









First off, this will be the only Focus you will see like this in Canada.



The car was bought in January of 2003 and has never been the same since.



The 1st transformation was the install of a Saleen body kit, with a serial number 0061. After the paint and install of the Saleen kit, it needs some shoes to fill the wheel well gap. So a set of 19 inch Team Dynamic “K2� with BFG “KDW G-Force 215-35 R19 were shoe horned on. With the SVT’s over sized 12� 2 piston slotted discs upfront and 10.5� single piston slotted discs out back fill the void in the middle of the 19� K2’s. To help with the stance and to get the rubber tucked in to the wheel wells, a set of Eibach sport lines, witch gives the Focus the look it deserved. Now it was time for some UK goodies. FedEx collected quite a few air miles. A set of UK Focus “RS� headlights now help me to see at night. I sent FedEx back to the UK to pick the “RS� chrome grill to finish off the UKDM look. With the chrome RS grill up front I needed some chrome out back to match. So I added a chrome hatch strip. (The bling factor has now gone up) To add the finishing touch’s on the out side, Noize Boyz added a little flair of their own, by installing custom a dual center stainless steal exhaust. To add to the bling factor the factory paint was wet sanded and a 5 stage polish job made it shine like a pair of chrome 24’s. All thanks to the best auto detailer in Canada, Todd H. Wirtz owner of The AUTO SPA. The Auto Spa all ways makes sure that the car is looking as sexxy as a collage cheerleader on prom night. (Show quality)



With 170 horse’s from factory may be sufficient for stock, it didn’t match up with the out side. Since I had all the show now it’s time for the go. It was hard to find a starting point on this car. I needed to add some juice. This came in form of (once again FedEx back for the UK) a costhworth head with minor work was bolted up. To top it off is a SVT polished valve cover. To match the flow of the head the fuel rail was enlarged with a modified SHM billet fuel rail, and to add some color, a set of Accel 36 lb/hr yellow top injectors. To watch the pressure that’s running thought the newly upgraded SVT Contour fuel pump, is an Auto Meter liquid filled fuel pressure gauge. All that fuel needs a friend, with leaving the stock adjustable intake cam gear in tacked, the exhaust was replaced with a Fidanza adjustable cam gear. Steeda has had their hands involved with the build up as well, with the install of a 2 piece under drive pulley kit. Not much left to do, but if they build it and it produces HP then it will come

After seeing all the JDM Honda’s at the shows with boost, plus loving the sound of the blow off valve when down shifting. The only thing to do was to add pounds to the car, in the only way I knew how. BOOST, and a lot of it. At the end o all my research, I finally came to a conclusion. With no one making a bolt on turbo kit for the SVT I knew I was in for some fun. The first step was to find the right turbo. This turbo needed to be able to handle high boost, have the right maps and work well with all my other mods. Once again FedEX dropped by the house. A Mitsubishi TEO 4H, full ball bearing, was the starting point. Although it was brand new it still needed some work. The intake housing was sent out to get polish, and the exhaust housing was sent out for some ceramic coating. I kept Fireball coating busy, with the turbo as well as the custom made 1 ¾ mandrel bent exhaust header. After Fire Ball was done baking the high polish coating, it was time to bolt it up.



But wait there’s more…….



You cant just bolt on a turbo. I needed some more toys, and if it wasn’t for the boys at JRP I won’t be going as fast as I am.



A Precision Turbo front mount air to air intercooler with a HP rating of 500 gave the front end what it was missing. Feeding the intercooler is set of custom made full polished 3� stainless steel mandrel bent up and down tubes. All though the out side looked great the in sides need to look just as good. So before the tubes were bolted up the inside got sprayed with Teflon to reduce the air turbulence. Holding it all together, FedEx made one more run to the UK for me. Returning with a full Samco hose kit, as well as, all my Samco turbo couplers in bright red. To cool down all that air a CO2 air charger was added. With a 10lb supply of CO2 running to the intercooler I don’t think this car could get any cooler. With clean, cool air flowing from the turbo now, I needed some thing to control it all. Turbo Smart played a big part in the control. A Turbo Smart Ultra-Gate 38mm red top was installed. Then to get the best sound when down shifting and to turn heads, a Turbo Smart Type 3 Dual Port 32mm blow off valve was added. There was only one thing that was missing from Turbo Smart and that was an E-Boost2 with shift and warning lights. Witch is now sitting in a triple gauge pod in the driver’s compartment. The last peace of the puzzle was a 70mm Focus Central Throttle body. With all of this the Stock ECU was confused. So it needed to go to school to learn. That’s where Diablo Sport can in, and where I meet a guru of foci, Mitch from ZX Tuning. Mitch took control and treated my car like his first born. Mitch pulled out all the stops, and squeezed ever ounce off juice out of the freshly turbo'd Ztec. With the ability to adjust the boost from the E-Boost, Mitch preformed Magic, at 18lb’s the 2.0L is now running with 310 ponies and 315 foot pounds. In the low end range, 12lb’s of boost, 260whp. Not bad for a Focus. Mitch feels with a little more under the hood and a little playing around, this could and in the near future will be Canada’s fastest Focus. With the power and knowledge of Mitch from ZX tuning this car will not be all show, so watch out when you pull beside at a red light.















Since I drive this thing every day, and enjoy driving the interior needed some work as well. Where should I start?

One cold night at Altered Sound in Oakville Ed (the owner) Brian (one of the best installers I know) and I, were joking around after installing a 7� monitor in a new BMW.

“What a small monitor! If I ever put one in my car it will be plasma.� With Ed and Brian laughing at me, the dream came alive. 6 months later and a **** load of planning and thinking (blood, sweet and four letter words), my dash was born. A 15 inch View Sonic LCD monitor was mated with the modified stock SVT Focus dash. Finished in PPG gloss black, with PS2 controls molded in the location where my passenger air bag resided. The Clarion PRO-AUDIO DXZ645MP moved into the glove box. Fulfilling the duties of controlling the PRO-AUDIO DHV940 (sitting in the box waiting to be installed) and audio from the Playstaion 2. The head unit powers 5 Canton speakers including the Canton co-axel 4� center channel, witch is also molded into the dash.

After winning 3rd place at “Import Fest Toronto� for BADDEST MULTI MEDIA. The next interior mod will be finishing the install of a certified DTS, THX and DOBIE DIGITAL sound system by ALTERED SOUND.



Not bad for an every day driver that wins 90% of shows I enter. The list of shows won with this car is as follows:



1st Import Fest BADDEST FOCUS

3rd Import Fest BADDEST MULTI MEDIA

1st Scrape by the Lake FOCUS CLASS 2003

1st Scrape by the Lake FOCUS CLASS 2004

1st Sport Compact Invasion SWEETEST OTHER (competed against other domestics)

1st Compact Dreams FOCUS WILD

1st Car Fest DOMESTIC OTHER (competed against other domestics)

2nd Northern Showdown FOCUS CLASS



Plus several 1st places at local shows



Shouts out to Todd at The Auto Spa

Ed and Brian at Altered Sounds

and the boys and girls at the shows



Plus note the pictures that are attached.



Thanks

“WATCH OUT FOR THE PURGE AT THE LIGHTS�
 
being a focus fan myself I wont pick apart the whole post but I will make a good effort at it.



Regarding the brake size and 2 piston calipers

perhaps you should check out svt.ford.com and do a comparison, it doesn't have 2 piston calipers, not possible.



"The car's impressive braking capabilities are the result of increased swept area under the 17-inch wheels. The 300mm (11.8-inches) vented front rotors are 42mm (1.65 inches) larger in diameter than those on the ZX3, but use the same single-piston caliper positioned to take advantage of the increased diameter rotor. These brakes are specially made for the SVT Focus and require a special steering knuckle."



RS Style lights are either LHD or RHD I call BS...



more over the SVT Contour pumps are designed for a return style fuel system and not compatable with our system unless you convert to our returnless fuel system into a return system.

our pumps automaticly adjust fuel pressure based on signals from the ECU and can push the PSI to over 50psi under heavy load, full throttle situations .



Cosworth doesn't make an SVT or Zetec head period.



Polished SVT valve cover? they come that way stock

very nice car, but keep the mods real....



Not trying to argue or anything but dont BS us, alot of us are smarter than that. This thread should be locked for BS Content. :lock:
