The Daily Racecar build thread

[Whiskerz]

its a nice build but i wouldn't really call it a race car

It gets auto-xed, which is technically racing haha. Class I run in requires a full interior etc.

But yeah its just a fun title for my thread

I usually don't like these cars, but I'm really liking this one

Thanks man! It's about to get WAY more stanceworks orientated once the new wheels get here

Nice to see a Focus around here! Yours looks very, very nice!

I've a Focus Van, completely stock. I wish I had those seats on my car, they look so comfortable :P

Aw the seats are great! Even heated too ;-)

Well just bought a set of Rotiform BLQ 17x8 2xET30 and 2xET20

Should make for some interesting stance to come!

So yeah I didnt get the "baller" wheels I wanted but this should be a good teaser as to how I want the car to sit!

Pics once they get here and I get tyres on the 2 that dont currently have any.

Bear in mind the wheels on the car currently are 17x7 ET42. Might be hard to imagine but thats gonna be alot more width!

Expect to see me out at a bunch of shows in the Bay Area in 2015!

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






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!

Struggling to decide what wheels to get though.... Ideas bouncing around in my head include:
CCW LM5T
CCW Classic 5's
Brada TR5
Avant Garde F141
Fifteen52 Formula Classic

[Whiskerz]

Well the wheels were due a refurb so went ahead and changed the colour while we were at it...



Ive got friends in the bay who hose free meets on private property so they cant get shut down, this is a photo from that


and a shot of the stickers I currently run on the car


I do now run a facebook group too, Www.facebook.com/Cleancarculture, I host monthly meets in the san jose area so feel free to come out if youre local.

Updated engine bay shot

Who cares about carb legality? I just slipped julio $75(group discount) to get around smog.

This looks great so far. Have you seen the bitch ass focus yet?

Which focus? I probably know of them at least. Focus community is kinda tight knit.

This has started well! Looks good
P.S how do you manage to move from the rainy Scotland to the US?! Ive been trying for so long!

My dad moved here for work in 2000 I got a follow on green card

YB. Conversion would be epic but if anything power wise is to get added it will be a power works supercharger kit, it's even CARB legal!

I really wanna pick up another set of wheels for shows but finding decent spec wheels in 4x108 without going custom is a pain

[Resslerbmx]

This is coming out pretty sweet man! I actually just moved to NorCal and need guys to meet up with for car shows and auto-x, i can probably make it to that San Jose meet ��

[TeckniX]

Since you have trips and family in the right location you should get more parts to do this conversion ☺
