What Have You Done to Your Car Today?
I installed my new Focus Tuning Ebrake handle, and took my new seats out of the hatch Pictures follow:
Before:
After:
I'm aware that the car is DISGUSTING, I haven't had time to clean it yet since picking it back up from HTP.
Ebrake handle after: Had to cut it, since ford presses them on and I couldnt pound it off.
Picked up some S2 seats for $50, I'm planning on reupholstering them, but I may wait...big cruise coming up in NH on May 16th (200-250 cars), and it's about 5 hours driving total...I could use the extra comfort
They have larger side bolsters that are a bit narrower (hold you in the seat better) and are also a little stiffer.
I also picked up a 2 gauge pillar pod for my wideband and...the other gauge I don't have yet? I'll prob by an oil pressure gauge soon, as the car will be revving over 8,000 rpms.

^ Yeah, but I run a detailing business..it's kind of pathetic how dirty my car is hahaha.
Whats everyone else done to their car? This is a regular thread on most of the forums I'm on- but since this is a Focus forum I actually AM interested to see the day to day workings on of your cars

Re: What Have You Done to Your Car Today?
didnt do anything today....but yesterday I washed the focus and polished the area where a chunk of rubber from a blow semi tire hit my hood. all but one deep scratch buffed out....finally removed the sap drip on the front bumper, installed my clear/chrome corners. also used some wheel cleaner one the engine bay and cleaned it a little bit. the grease on the VC from the timing belt swap didn't come off...need to get some degreaser.
AND i also bought and installed the ignition control module to replace the busted one on the 83 mustang gt. havent test driven it yet, but im hoping it'll rev above 4000 rpm now.
hows that?

If the rain holds off today, I'll be doing some more datalogging for turbotom. Now doing WOT pulls to 6200...maybe 4-5 more til we get to redline and start adding timing...mmmmmmm!

Re: What Have You Done to Your Car Today?
I made the interior a little uglier today. Most of you guys have seen my headliner and door pulls already. Well I took them to the next level this morning.
Handles...
New stuff...
Hehe, it isn't perfect but it'll do for now I guess. I am pulling my b pillars this weekend for some black paint. When I do that, I am also going to remove the headliner and take it to black instead of this fabric. As it is now, its toooooooo much.

LAUNCHED IT! For the first time, evar. And was very satisfied.
I'm hoping to take it to the drag strip the wednesday night before Carlisle...at least I'll have track times even if I don't have dyno #'s.

I'm a little short in the power department there...like 600+
It felt good though, made the clutch do its job (slipped it so I didn't just spin tire), then hit second and third perfectly...Thats why I'm taking it to the track now, it was too much fun...and my car is WAY too loud to be doing that on the street.

Re: What Have You Done to Your Car Today?
No..just too loud to do it without being pulled over. My car is super loud, i just need to throw in another resonator to get rid of the little rasp thats left, and then I'll be happy. I love the looks I get when I go WOT next to someone.. :o
