Yeah parts wise for maintence im alright, albeit for euro parts i should be fine now too, only other parts i would want would be RS wheels (They sell for crazy money over here, but there are plenty sets despite the RS never being sold in the US!)

Alright so wind deflectors are on

I wanted SVT170 but it wasn't available

But now I gotta put the high flow back on and re flash the Ecu with my custom tune before auto-x on the 9th feb.

Since its been a long time since I last posted in here I thought I'd just throw some photos in for the hell of it, no cosmetic changes as yet but there should be big changes happening over winter/before show season 2015 :devillook:devillook:devillook

As you can see in the last photo, this car badly needs some wider wheels and a touch more low!

Im hoping to get some 2/3 piece wheels ordered before the end of the year. Expect to see this car out at a bunch of shows in the Bay Area, California next year!

As you can see. colour change on the wheels, wrapped the mirror caps in white.

And I do run a facebook page now (www.facebook.com/CleanCarCulture) hoping to have a website up and running by the start of 2015!

I come back on every so often, I try to update my build threads all at once but I do forget to update everything except the focus one from time to time.

Its getting there, needs some more work over winter.

Stiffer rear springs
Ford Edge rear wiper swap
"Show" wheels (aiming for 3 piece or 2 piece)

Whiskerzz · 12th December 2014, 05:14

Well I bought a set of show wheels

Bought Rotiform BLQ. 17x8 all round, 2x ET30 2x ET20

Considering the currently wheels are 17x7 ET42 it should make for a big difference in the stance! Honestly can't wait

Whiskerzz · 14th December 2014, 02:27

My wheels are almost making there way to me!

Someone else in the Focus scene had a set of BLQ they ran this gives you an idea of how mine will look once I get the wheels on.

Honestly cant wait to get the wheels, thinking about getting them powdercoated but as of yet im super split on what colour to go with.... Candy red is my currrent thinking

Dany4494 · 15th December 2014, 11:54

Wow they look better than i expected polished ftw, whats car scence like over there ?

Jizanthapus · 15th December 2014, 12:27

Like the wheels but not in red! The above picture looks fine.

Where in Cali do you live? I'm slightly jealous...

Awesome, I was there in the summer it's an amazing place. My dream is to live there one day, and drive some kind of v8 lol. How did you go about living there, if you don't mind me asking? I assume work or family?

That Jetta does suit those wheels in red, but I think it's just me - I like silver wheels

Family for me

Silver wheels bore me haha, plus these are used so I dont expect the faces to be all way shiney by now =/ polish is a biatch to keep in good nick

Whiskerzz · 3rd January 2015, 02:56

But now that we are in 2015 I wanna reveal my plans for the car over the course of this calender year.

2015 build plans

-Raid pick n pull for headliner, sunroof cover and a,b,c pillars for wrapping in suede
-BLQ going on
-SPC camber arms (if required to make the BLQ fit right)
- get the BLQ powdercoated toward the end of the year (most likely Candy Red)
-Stiffer rear springs
-Get front bumper repaired and repainted, then wrapped in clear

Whiskerzz · 10th January 2015, 22:12

Alright I finally got tyres mounted to the two BLQ that never came with any.

End result once the wheels were on the car

Car still needs a little dialing in fitment wise but that will come with time

Whiskerzz · 12th January 2015, 01:51

Did a little bit of work on the old gal today, dropped the ass a little bit, think I will invest in camber arms in a bit but kinda skint just now.

Finally adjusted my front endlinks so they are actually the same length haha

And I got a few shots of the car with my DSLR when I got home, not the best as i never used my tripod but hey ho....
