7 months ago I sold my supercharged focus and got into a VW, I finally got the stance dialed in close to how I want it and the gorgeous weather this weekend seemed like a good time to take some pictures of its current state.
Please note this car has been built on a college budget I have less than $500 into the "stance" part of the car.
The engine mods were part of a head rebuild that I had to perform due to lack of timing belt maintenance.
I just wanted to post my car to show other college students on a budget what you can do with some patience. I started to look for wheels in april and just got the enkei's on the car a week ago! it has taken far longer than I would like and lots of patience but in the end I think the results are worth it.
I was able to get the whole stance setup so cheaply by using raceland coils and trading some stuff I had laying around that I wasn't using for a set of wheels which I then traded for these wheels.
Feel free to offer advice/criticism on how to improve both the car itself but also my photos! I'm still getting a feel for my new to me canon rebel.
Mods that matter:
Schroth 4 point Harness
Raceland coilvovers
AEB ported head
ported intake manifold
3" catless downpipe
neuspeed intake
Hawk HP+ pads
Brembo Rotors
neuspeed SS brake lines
New South boost and oil gauges
Under drive pulley kit
semi wire tucked bay
Wheels:
17x9 17x8 staggered enkei sporsh 3-piece wheels with 215/45 hankooks
16x8 vw force alloy's with 225/50/16 kumho xs tires for autocross
NOTE FOR THE HANDLING NATZI's:
racelands suck blah blah blah say what you want but the car has taken 2 consecutive 1sts in SMF at the local autocross events with the coilovers raised all the way up.
