New FiST owner!

[Wobb]

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.

Congratulations and welcome to the site. That Focus looks beautiful.

 

[Harvick]

Nice cars, welcome

 

[rooSTer]

Hey man congratulations and welcome...there's a bunch of us Focus converts floating around.

 

[Colin1337]

Welcome!
What kind of power was the focus making?

 

[Wobb]

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.

Welcome to the forum...will the FiST be the daily driver?

 

[Wobb]

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.

AWSOME color! Good luck and welcome.

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.

 

[rodmoe]

Glad that is just a test fit cuz your rear tire is on the wrong side What size are your DZll's ??

 

[Wobb]

I took just the rears off my coupe, haha. They're 235/40s.

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

 

[Wobb]

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.

 

[Xanergy]

Both your rides are pretty nice. The old photo of the focus was very clean looking.

Oh ok. Curious to know if the 235/40s rub on 17x8s.

 

[Wobb]

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