Hey guys.. Names Mike.. Had a Focus for a few years now, and if you've been on FJ you've probably seen it. I have an 08 Focus Coupe that's boosted. Now I have a boosted daily! Just picked it up today. Tuxedo Black, Recaros, Moonroof. Everything I wanted and it was on the lot!!! Didn't have to order/wait! Couldn't be happier with it. Just can't wait to start doing fun stuff!!! Here's some cell pics I snapped quick.



Needz bigger front mount!





LOVE Recaros.



Just had to introduce her to my Coupe!



And if you haven't seen my Coupe before, here's an old pic. I blew the engine up so it's getting built right now.

Thanks everyone!!

The coupe made 315/296 to the wheels. I blew the engine in November. Now it's getting built... Should be close to 450 before I max the turbo out.

Hopefully we can look forward to similar build projects for your FiST.[smoking]

I'll be doing some stuff, but nothing huge... Yet.... Haha

Yes it will be my new daily. I have an 02 SVT with 250K on it, that I'll be parting out soon.

It will make a great "driver"...I used to do the drive from NE Ohio to Pittsburgh about once a month and see the value in driving a car that won't get a lot of attention from PA's "finest". You might want to research some of the ideas on the forum for outfitting the ST for winter driving...but you have a little breathing room until that is an issue.

Yeah I have 16" snowflakes with Blizzaks from my SVT.

Thank you!!

So I went to put 5mm spacers on the rear of my Coupe today and since these wheels will end up on the Fiesta at some point I wanted to see how they looked, even with meat tires.

I dig those wheels...what is the total offset with the 5mm spacers?

The spacers aren't on the fiesta. But these wheels are 17x8 et38. So on my coupe in the rear, it's 33. But I need 10s.

On my coupe it won't. On the fiesta it probably would, haha.
