Is it possible for that car to get any better. Now if the right set of wheels were on it, it would be super the tits.

Thats a crazy amount of work ahead of you. Great Plans though.
Is that the parts svt in your garage? That looks like a whole SVT.

by slocussvt 2011-03-10, 10:39 pm

No, that's my friend Kyle's SVT that is now getting it's SECOND rebuilt motor put in it. First mishap was cylinder 4 valves dropping, second mishap was rod #3 coming out the block.

by WUGcatsvt 2011-03-11, 1:03 am

Sounds like mine. Ive had 4 valves drop as well. I found a motor in south Florida for 600 Bucks so I went that route. I feel for him.

If he needs A block I have one with 50K on it. Two Pistons are chipped due to the values, but other then that its fine. Ill sell it dirt cheap.

Nice clutch!

This is starting to look like an epic build.

by **SVT3658** 2011-03-14, 1:41 am

I'm glad ADUCARDICK finally came through!

by slocussvt 2011-04-07, 11:17 pm

Well, production has been slow lately. Due to.......

-Kyle's SVT getting it's second rebuilt motor. But it is down to bleeding the clutch and getting an alignment *knock on wood*

-picking up another members SVT zx5 (SVTGa on FF) to do a clutch, water pump and correct timing.

-picking up a friends jeep to swap a new motor in. Old motor was hydrolocked.

-And finally, Ryan (SBSVT) is dropping his car off this saturday to ship off his ECU to get ready for his JRSC install.

And all this is planned to be done BEFORE Daytona.........

The table is epic.

And the other SVTf is like deja vu of your car from forever ago...

by slocussvt 2011-04-16, 1:56 am

That's what i told Kyle when i drove it after it was running again and on Josh's old sportlines. Took me back to 2003 when i put my sportlines on.

by FuhFuhhhh Focus 2011-04-25, 5:31 pm

Sick build man, always loved your car.

I bought it from hotrodwagon (i believe bustonit on here) years ago. Finally putting it to use, lol.

If i get SBSVT's car done tomorrow and get my zx3 back, then i'll be bringing the zx3. If not, i'll be in mom's '07. Either way, i'll be in a focus.

by jholso 2011-04-28, 11:10 am

Soooooo Im gonna move to Georgia and move into your garage ok?

by **SVT3658** 2011-04-28, 12:00 pm

I already claimed it Tongue

by slocussvt 2011-04-29, 3:07 am

Lol, you both can haz it as long as your not afraid to cuddle......

And turns out i'll be bringing mom's '07. Due to all the tornadoes and thunderstorms last night, the new bypass valve for SBSVT's car won't be here until i'm all ready on the road to Daytona.

by **SVT3658** 2011-04-29, 8:33 am

All that matters is you're coming

by slocussvt 2011-05-03, 11:51 pm

by slocussvt 2011-05-05, 10:52 pm

Been dealing with SBSVT's car still. I am gonna try to get final parts ordered this weekend and start the final install. Sorry it's been so long. I've had so much side work lately that it's put me behind, waaaaaaaaaaaay behind.

by HaveBlue83 2011-05-18, 7:57 pm

u DO realize u have like NO time rite?? ugh.....

by **SVT3658** 2011-05-18, 10:19 pm

Yerp, worst comes to worst you can always make the bay look pretty with the kit on there and you can push the car around Laughing

by slocussvt 2011-05-19, 1:41 am

Other progress has been made since these photos. Just haven't taken any new ones yet. Plan to have it together this weekend and off to the exhaust shop monday for piping. Then tuning and all should be good. *knock on wood*

Only problems so far is i got the wrong bearings from Ford for the diff and since i was impatient and installed them before checking, i now have to see if i can get them off without breaking or be $50 out plus another $100 to get them overnighted from cfm. Plus Jim's machine shop is having problems so no custom thermo housing for now.

Oh ya, plus i got these in the mail tuesday.

by slocussvt 2011-05-24, 2:16 am

Car is at muffler shop getting piping done. I meant to grab some pics before leaving but didn't get a chance.

And yes, i know it's getting close and i need to hurry, lol.

by Ataru 2011-05-24, 2:27 am

I so wanna steal your valve cover at FR11!!

by slocussvt 2011-05-26, 11:25 pm

^If i hadn't broken a tab on my old one, i'd give it to you. It's all ready painted sonic blue.

More progress pics. Will hopefully have the car back friday night and spend the entire weekend getting it back together and running.

Sorry for the lack of pics during this entire build. I'm not a big photo taker when i do work on the car. I just keep working and working and working, lol.

by jpdavis 2011-05-26, 11:31 pm

Dude ur car is lookin sick.. Ur doin a awesome job!

by Ataru 2011-05-26, 11:35 pm

I'm torn on the RS wheels. The Centerlines are so unique that they really set off your car. The RS wheels are simple and clean, but many Focuses out there have them. It's tough.

by **SVT3658** 2011-05-26, 11:40 pm

jesus christ.

I can't wait to see it all back together. I'm LOVING the RS wheels. they look leaps and bounds better than the centerlines on your car IMO

by Ataru 2011-05-26, 11:42 pm

Am I the only one that LOVES the look of those Centerlines?

by glowin3232 2011-05-27, 12:10 am

I agree with you Jason! Laughing

Centerlines FTW, RS's have been done over and over and over. I just think multi-spoke wheels look better on Foci.
