Right, after trying to post in the top speed forum, i was informed that my car is not actually part of the registry! Despite me being here from the beginning! Soo, here is is:
PS im sorry that the proof of ownership pics are so shite, but it gets dark here at 3.30pm, and i only have a camera phone with me at uni.
Oh, its a 2 litre zetec focus, with a K&N air conical air filter, home mate heat shield and cold air feed, enlarged intake pipe, ashley competition cat-back exhaust, Superchips bluefinn chip, lowered 35mm on spax springs, on 18 inch aerospeed RS-GT's in gunmetal with polished rim, 215/35 R18 toyo proxes T1-S tyres, projector smoked rear lights, hella front indicators, clear side repeaters. Alpine S-Type 12" sub, Alpine T303 Amp.
Now the pics:

Nice to see your little pocket rocket in here coombsie, even though its been in you sig forever :D, some nice shots too, especially of the alloys, not boy racer/ rude boy at all IMO quite a subtle style IMO 8)

^^ Cheers mate, yeah i dont plan on putting chrome 22 inch spinners on it any time soon :wink: Overall wheel diameter is actually the same, if not a couple mm less than standard, so it handles better than standard (better turn in, more steering feel).
Oh, and ive just realised that the pics are a little on the large side, im sorry. If its a problem i'll have to try and resize them in whatever shitty program i can find, and re-upload.

Wow, cheers guys, thanks for all the compliments. I do love the look of my car now, as for the impressive top speed, i actually had 130 3 times the other weekend! But thats literally all she's got on the flat.
Cheers for putting it in the registry TT :D
Pics of the heat shield, and a comparison with standard (quite a difference!!)
The blue thing is an aftermarket filter to throttle body silicone hose, as with the standard tube i was getting resonance at idle on warm up, making it lumpy as fuck. Smooth as a babies ass now :D

Standard:

Lowered on Standard 16's i quite liked this look, i recon it looks pretty slammed compared to standard! I prefer me 18's though :)

Oh and the M5 is me dads, the M5's in the garage, and the 330ci convertable's my mums:

Nice car coombsie. With the lower ride, bigger rims, clear indicators and darker rear lights, it looks far better than a standard Focus.

Looks good man, nice car good to see you kept the mods simple and improved what was there rather than change it into something its not. Top shit 8)

sweet ride...
i just bought out my lease so its now mod time... spinners??? come on they arent that bad.. just $8000 us each...so i think ill put my money into more important things.. like the super charger package.. ill guess ill just save up some cash during the winter.. no use having that much horse power in the snow.. i wont go anywhere

^^ Nice ride mate (if thats your red SVT in your avatar?)
Ive got a spare set of headlights that im trying to rip apart to paint the insides black so they are the same as your headlights. I think they'd look good on mine.
The supercharger pakages are quite popular over in america now arnt they, i fancy a nice turbo conversion myself. But then i'd just go out and get an nice RS instead!
Get some pics of your ride up! Nice to see another foci around here :D

i would for for the HIDs myself.. the headlights i have are shit..
i heard thought that they had problems with the manifold when you turboed the engine.. they couldnt handle the pressure..
i wish i knew how to post some pics...took me too long to get the avatar up
and yeah its a SVT same as the ST170 over there...
