Fresh owner from Houston, TX

[Svvift]

Hello everybody,
My name is Daniel and I picked up my FiST last night. I have only driven it about 20 miles so far and I absolutely love it. It is definitely a fun upgrade from my 2004 SVT Focus. It is Tuxedo Black with the "upgraded" wheels, Navi, and moonroof.
I can't wait til I start to enjoy it more and more.


I have been a member on Focus Fanatics for the past 6 years and look forward to enjoying the company here.

Yay another Focus convert...welcome. I'm still a member on FF too.

 

[Svvift]

haha not a convert... continuing with a track build with my focus, but I needed a new daily so I could overhaul the focus (known as the Kraken lol)

 

[MKVIIST]

Congratulations Svvift and welcome.

Soon you'll find yourself pouring money in the FiST haha.

Welcome from Georgetown.

 

[Svvift]

I test drove my buddy's Focus ST last weekend coming back from the gun range and I loved it, but wanted something a little smaller..
Now I have my FiST. hahaha

 

[Svvift]

Also, I have a question.
I haven't had time to peruse the site for the answer, so I apologize if it has been answered a hundred times.
I am wanting to add a boost gauge, but I refuse to use the pillar for a mount. What other options do I have for a clean, non-intrusive spot for the gauge?

Most people use the AP as a boost gauge but take a look at Sekreds build thread. http://www.fiestastforum.com/forum/threads/1509-Sekred-s-White-Weapon-build-thread-2

[Svvift]

bahahaha I will post pics later.
Work comp blocks those sites.. and I only have my "mandatory gas station fill up" pic from last night. haha

 

[sikedsyko]

Did you pick that up from Tommie Vaughn? If so I think I've driven your car

lol They had a black one with those options, but I ended up getting the silver one they had.

 

[Svvift]

No, I got it from Tomball Ford. It was their showroom model.

 

[rodmoe]

Welcome

 

[Svvift]

thanks.

I will be keeping it relatively stock for the first year or so due to warranty and all.
But, I already have a slew of mods to do.
going to debage it and leave only the ST badges
lower it about an inch
new piping and hoses
intake
exhaust
STS
hide-away license plate mount
a few other things... but i really do love the way it comes factory.

 

[Svvift]

and another pic

looking like a fishbowl.. just gotta make an appt with the dealer to get the tint done and a free detail
legal in TX is 25%VLT on the front doors, no limit on the back/rear

debating on going 25/10 if they will do it. I have 35/20 on my SVT Focus (was darkest legally at time of tint) and I want it to be just a little bit darker..

 

[MKVIIST]

I have 30/20 on mine and sometimes I wish I would have gone a bit darker, 25/10 would look really good.
