A Focus SVT Build (California Content)

[Whiskerzz]

So this all started back in October 2012 when I traded in my 98 Jetta GL for this SVT







I got lucky and found her with less than 60k miles on it! :bow:

First mod was a K&N drop in panel filter to replace the crappy OEM one.

Next thing taken care of was the brakes... replaced all 4 corners with Centric Rotors and Hawk HPS Pads.

Now for a mod that kinda splits opinions...


Next up was to replace a worn part... so instead of replacing I upgraded



Now at this point I decided to test the limits of the car (and my driving) by going to an auto-x


Just after that I decided it was time for a good service



Thank god I did it! The plugs were well passed their best!


Honestly at this point nothing really happened for a while until this


So got the tyres swapped over from my standard wheels and this was the result


Just recently I decided to clean up the calipers a bit with a lick of paint



And this was meant to be the end point until late in the year but well with it being a Ford something had to break... A strut decided it was time to die so few messages among NorCal sorted me out with some replacements....







And that brings you up to the current day :evilgrin:

Massive thanks along the way go to Chris (Norcalfocus01), Rick (lolibater, he hooked me up with the struts), Ryan (lowlifestyle), Jesse and basically all the NorCal folks over on FocalJet
