Ahuzen's 2002 SVT Build

Or you can just gut the car and sell it to me!

the car is already gutted but unless the money was good, i don't see selling this thing just yet

I'm thinking about doing something like this for the flares. then either make them in fiberglass or CF. maybe even rubber

I've been tossing around ideas for paint on this car. I want something different, but easy for me to do. I think i found what I'm looking for







its all done with paint

Yes.

I like it

The rusty paint jobs are sick if done right..good luck.. R u goin to do it ur sef?

i plan on it. like any shade tree mechanic, i saw it online and the guy made it look easy

but i figure if i screw up, i can just paint over it and start again. i just have to figure out a plan that works with the Focus body lines

I've done rust and patina paints before. I've sold them for years as well. Never thought of using on a car but I like it. If you got any questions on how to do it, what products to use etc, drop me a message.

i did some messing around with the car the other day and found the problem with the motor. a broken DSI lever. as far as i can tell, that is the entire reason this thing was parted out. im kinda glad i saved this one from getting scrapped for no good reason

i also found a CGI block local to me for a steal, ill be trying to get it this weekend

What was wrong with it to began , what was it doing/ not doing

CGI block? That's awesome!

no bottom end power, anything below 6k is useless. it also doesnt switch between runners when it should

Yea sounds like a VCT and intake runner issue

It sounds like you need a new IMRC Box. It's $187 plus shipping from Steve.

I am intermittently having the same problem because my controller box is going out. I've limped it along for a while now.

You should take it apart and clean it up that's what I did and it works great now

its the DSI lever as far as i can tell, the cable that usually pops off is missing entirely. Kev(aka SaucyMuffin) offered me a whole intake mani for $50, so Ill pick it up and give it a shot

and about the CGI block, the guy listed it wrong. its just a stock block with an extra built motor to go with it. only problem is, the built motor threw a rod though the block

so I decided that the best way to get this car together was to buy a parts car. while on the hunt for an SVT, I stumbled on this



paid the registration fees and went out to bid on it yesterday, won it for a ridiculously cheap price, and am going to pick it up later today





best part is this.....

looks like your focus will be up in no time

Okay I would love to know if you'd like to sell or trade five spokes for those EAP wheels. Not to mention the interior of the car. I've got a 02' with Red. It'll look great with your bumpers.

No but seriously.. EAPs.. I'm interested. PM me.

Wow, very nice find! You lucky sob!

Congrats dude, that's awesome!

Fucking spectacular!

my brother and I hauled the car home today, it fired right up with a jump with NO check engine lights. this thing is better than i had hoped to find. the front bumper may be fixable, just about everything else SVTwise is still mint or close enough for me

I might have considered it, but my Dad called dibs on the wheels and tires for his SVT. hell, the tires are almost brand new

First off awesome find man.. thats a amazing collection of parts you've got now.. If you're dad will consider trade plus cash let me know. he can have the tires. I'll trade my 5 spokes + 100$ cash.

Btw.. the seats. Any plans for those.. would you like some pretty black/red SVT seats.. maybe a trade for those dirty black ones?

Nevermind you're all the way up in WV and between shipping and or gas driving up there it'd be pointless. ughh.. wish I would of looked at that.. why are you on the Florida forum lol?

Travis, lots of people on here are not in FL

Mike, that's amazingly spectacular. I'm super jealous. You're set on your silver car now! And those Recaros better go into the silver one, they're sooooo comfy

he more than likely won't, he likes the EAP wheels too much. I have another set of them, but they are bent. I just realized, this makes 6 sets of wheels........ I may need some help....

the seats are going in my 05 DD

Hey what's your plans for the 05 front brake setup once you remove it?

I'm not even sure if I'm going to do the swap yet. I may just sell the SVT fronts to make some money back off of this car. Having to run 17s all years is turning my off

Sack up and dew it! Then sell me the 05 stuff.

You can still run 16's, and some 15's with the SVT front brakes.

I know, but 16s and 17s are about the same cost tirewise. It all just depends on if I want money or great brakes

Tried my hand at plastic welding tonight on the SVT front

Before



After

6 sets of wheels.. do you want to trade for some EAPs for 5spokes.. let me know if you come accross any..

nice plastic welding!

I'll keep my eyes peeled. The other set of EAPs i have are slightly bent, so I don't think you would want them

and thanks, I got the bumper mounted this week too

just picked up a almost brand new sets Corbeau FX-1 seats last night for a steal. complete with side mount rails and everything to mount them

Bravo Sir! I've been looking for Corbeau's myself recently for the Corbeau mounts I have

picked these ones up from Chaz last night in Harrisburg. I can't wait to sit in them

Well first some pictures of what little work I did today

wheels finally switched out





door panels in



and now one of the wheels after I decided it was a good idea to drive like a nut tonight





I potholes

It looked good though!
