SVT Focus

[SVT Guy]

they look nice, i was talkin to one of the salesman over at luther when i went in for warrenty and i guess as soon as you hook up the NOS they void the warrenty

[Guest]

well what place wouldnt??

[amicheze]

so the nos is just for show? what fun is having it when you cant use it? thats fucking lame.

[SVT Guy]

very true i guess i wouldn't want to warrenty it if i were them

[Guest]

I want nos just to purge it.

[SVT Guy]

lol nice just get a co2 tank and rig up some sort of purge system

[Guest]

That's Saleen.

They seem to put out a lot of uglified mediocre lightly modified overpriced cars.

Although I did hear that their newest mustang is supercharged and pushing something around 500rwhp....

mine is bone stock i was think of putting a CAI and AFC in it when the warrenty goes up which is a year from now, but yeah its a 03 red, have the traction control, heated seats and mirrors, audiophile 9006, typical SVT. Did you see that saleen focus up at luther by fleet farm, it ZX3 that is modded up, has the 2.3 and it comes factory with a 75 shot kinda wondering why they didn't do that to the SVT would have made more sense. i was thinkin eventually going with a turbo, i was look online when i first bought it and they want 4500 for a SC for the SVT, and the turbo kit was only 2500-3000. your supposed to gain i think 100 whp with the SC though.

That's me now

the NOS is fully run just missing the relays + switch, and yes it voids the warrenty when it gets hooked up (that makes sense)

It's not just a "pretty focus".

The NOS is one thing, but what a lot of people don't know is all the suspension work saleen did to the car. It's a lot of fun to drive so far.

I dunno man, I've been inside the SVT and IMO SVT>N20, The transmission and motor are so solid. Yes the looks of the saleen are great, but the SVT is not ugly by any means either. I'd much rather have a better platform to work on, then have a body kit stock.

unless you put a 351 in your focus...its gonna be slow..if you try making it fast..it will blow up.

[n2o]

I think the SVT is great, I just liked the saleen more

To each their own, right?

There is an SVT running 17psi pushing 320whp and running 12's on stock internals with fuel mods and what not... hasnt blown up yet and runs great. I dont know where your getting your information from but you need to learn more about a car before you say stupid shit like that. SVT comes with forged rods and pistons stock.... not to mention oil squirters. There wasnt much left un touched on the SVT focus.

Peace!

no turbo kits out for the 2.3L duratec that i'm aware of yet

Saving $$ though

Flowcus and I would come out and cruise with you, maybe Flowcus will, but the WRX is out of commision as I have lost my drivers license for a little bit :(, maybe I'll let him take it out one day though. Tonight is my reserved gaming night, going to pick up a new MMORPG called "city of hero's" I'll post a review on it tommorow.

there's lots of potential for fast focii's its just like everything other care all it takes is money
www.focus-power.com guy who owns the site has a zetec that is either in the 11's or getting close

also anyone who drives a dsm shouldn't go to crazy saying other cars will blow up if you try to get them to go fast
dsm's can make tons of power but i haven't heard anyone tell me yet that they like there dsm because of how reliable it is
just my $.02

also i haven't really heard of anyone putting a 351 into a focus but i have heard of people putting 302's into them but maybe i'm mistaken
