Places a sizable order with Chemical Guys as well yesterday.

Now have the following coming out to me:
Hybrid v7 quick detailer & sealant 16oz
Afterwash 1gal
Allclean+ 1gal
Wheel & rim sealant
GlassworkZ 16oz
3 heavy duty sprayer bottles
1 detailing brush, goats hair

All together was like $145 order. I only went on to order the wheel sealant :lol: :lol:

Also my Ford Edge rear wiper shipped out yesterday so should have at least one photo update soon

[Whiskerz]

SPC Camber arms ordered, two day shipping FTW so will see those on Monday!

So all my stuff is due to be delivered next week or so.

I cant wait to get the BC's on and start dialing it in a little, see if I can get the rears tucking tyre

[srtkr]

yeah a total of like 12k made over 3 years, mine being a final year, one of 128 in my spec and colour IIRC.

Currently just waiting on parts, waiting on:

BC coilovers
NERP solid shifter bushings
Ford Edge rear wiper

Still have to go to pick n pull and pull half an interior to send out for wrapping in suede

Awesome to see you use Nerp products, Chaz the owner is a really good friend of mine

Where in Scotland were you from? Hell of a move! I wouldn't mind that move some day!

He was/is still a big part of the Focus community and only person who makes the shifter bushings for the mk1 so it was a no brainier for me.

It's nice being in a dry state, zero rust on anything under the car! Makes working on it so much better than back home!

[Whiskerz]

While Im still waiting on BC to build and ship me my coilovers ive been busy with CleanCarCulture stuff

Got a website up and running, head over and check it out, Events tab shows where we will for sure be bringing you coverage from!

worst thing about here... All the rot coming from the weather -.-

Yup! But because of it used cars are WAY more expensive here!

Good news though, my Coilovers shipped out from BC Racing today, so should get them sometime next week. Hopefully be able to get the Coilovers and camber arms thrown on next weekend if everything falls into place

[Whiskerz]

Alright so I had Taylor Kas pick and send me a set of mk2 OEM black sunvisors ($25 all in, thanks again Taylor!)




First part of the conversion to a black headliner and pillars, got painted handles already. Gonna get headliner and pillars done once I sell the Coilovers that are currently on the car.

I am looking into getting a set of lightweight wheels in 17/18x8 but have yet to decide on a wheel (very picky). I love the look of the TurboMacs but I fear they are gonna be too heavy for what I want... The search continues!

[Whiskerz]

Well my BC's finally turned up today, hoping to have enough time to do the swap to BC's plus SPC camber arms this weekend. Will update with pictures once Comcast fix my internet

[Whiskerz]

Coilovers went on over the weekend. Rears didn't go anywhere near as low as I had hoped so....

I went to my mates and test fit 18x8 et35 Team Dynamics PR1.2 with 215/40 on them. They fit great so I went ahead and ordered a set myself from Our forum sponsor, PCA.

High power silver. For tyres I went with hankook Ventus v12 evo2 in 215/40.

I do still need to fit the camber arms and get an alignment but I wanna wait for the 18s so I can set the height before taking the car in for an alignment.

[Whiskerz]

So some potato pics to keep thread lively while I wait on wheels and tyres being delivered.





Test fit of same wheels I bought


Now this is with 0 camber on the front as I have not had the car aligned yet
