Did you use the 97 & up VCT zetec valve cover? Are they plastic?

Amazing focus' as usual Nick, the Works fit the car so well.

I'm glad you went back to Meisters, they look so good on your car

Thanks guys.

Daniel, the Works will always be my favorite wheels for this car but I'm a bit of a wheel whore so other wheels will find their way on from time to time.

I've got a set of 3 piece wheels in the garage that have already been filled and drilled, they just need to be refinished and need wider lips.

One more from Focus Beach Fiesta back on August 10th:




Never mind the upside down badge in the front, the Euro version of the grille has a hole in it for a locking hood latch. A friend loves to go around and flip the badges... he's kind of special. Lol

Haven't really updated much, lowered the car a bit more and did some minor interior work.

I've seen a lot of this car somewhere before....

So a bit of an update, but not really on this car. I bought a new daily.





After driving most of the way back up to NorCal from South OC:





Then I decided I wasn't 100% sold on the OZ RS wheels on this car so I bought a new set. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 in 18x8 ET35













Need to get the car re-dynoed, before the upgrade from a GT28R to the GT28RS, the 3" down pipe from a 2.5", and an increase in boost from 9 to 11 psi it was making 265hp and 260tq at the crank. I'm guessing that it's probably at that or over at the wheels now. Still all on stock internals, and it drives great.

Engine
- 2.0L Duratec engine
-FSWERKS Stage 2 turbo kit with GT28RS @ 11psi
-Turbosmart Kompact Dual Port BOV/Diverter Valve
-Turbosmart eBoost2 EBC (40psi 3.1 version)
-VF Engineering lower motor mount
-Forge Motorsport Wastegate Actuator
-3 inch FSWerks Downpipe
-Cosworth 2.5in. Race Exhaust System

Transmission
-MTX-75 5 Speed Transmission
- Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit
- Quiafe ATB Limited Slip Differential

Suspension
-18x8 ET35 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2
-215/40/18s
-Brembo Big Brake Kit (328mm)
-SVT Rear Brake Conversion
-H&R Coil-Over Kit
-H&R 5mm spacer out back
-ARP extended wheel studs all around
-FSWERKS upper front stress bar
-FSWERKS lower front bar
-Roush 22mm rear sway bar
-Prothane endlinks

Exterior
-3DCarbon Body Kit
- SES roof wing
- Hella Extreme Yellow Fog Bulbs

Interior
-MOMO Street Racer bucket seats custom wrapped in leather
-MOMO Sleath Basic MT Pedals
-COBB Tuning Knob with MOMO Leather shift boot
-Steeda Tri-Ax short throw shifter




The best part about all of this is I got two new sets of wheels out of the purchase of this car, one of which are 3 piece and are freshly filled/drilled. It also allows me to take the black hatch to the next level fitment-wise. Not really planning to slam this one as I drive it daily and average about 550 miles per week.

Hope you enjoy it!
