Jefe's DD -Ford Focus

[Jefe]

I bought myself a DD a week ago, for Christmas.

Its a 2001 Ford Focus SE:
60k miles on it
2.0L 16v Zetec
-130 HP @ 5500 RPM
-127 lb-ft @ 4000 RPM
5 speed manual
EPA Mileage 28/36

With all the goodies:
Air Conditioning
Power Steering
AM/FM 6-disc in-dash CD System
Power Windows
Power Locks
Power Mirrors
Alloy Wheels
Cruise Control
Rear Defroster

On the half a tank of gas I used this past week I got 23mpg (all around town)

Even assuming that gas mileage, my gas savings per 100mi is $12. That should amount to about $1800 a year.

I stopped to take some pics today while driving down Angeles Crest Hwy

Some Flex shots

Heres the rest of the pics today:

You should have bought a tow rig and a trailer.

Haha, nice flex. Cute ride. Why do you think you got 5 below the EPA mileage?

But you would never be able to have mad flex like that!

I raced a stock ZX3 this fall with my coveted Explorer GT and I got blown out. My buddy Mario and I were depressed

You did a right up on your focus

That's just sick

If I had the room to park a tow rig, believe me, thats what I would have done. Though it wouldn't have gotten the fuel efficiency I was looking for.

Um. . having a little too much fun I soppose
That was an average off of just a half a tank too. We'll see where it goes when I get through a few tanks (which should take a few months )

I'm sorry. I guess I'll just go hang out on the Focus forum from now on.

So when is the foot tall wing being added? then the unpainted body kit? How about the stock rims and tires up front and a pair of low profile rims and tires for the back? Dont forget the chrome fire extinguisher on the A pillar.

Did I go too far?

 

[SkanlaxJMO]

now we need a pic of it next to your truck...lol

 

[boominXplorer]

remove side molding and paint the factory ground effects to match. That would clean it up alot!

Needs a taller wing. should handle pretty well now.

 

[RangerX]

Needs stickers.

You mean under the truck?

I do want to color match the side molding and door handles, but I like the black ground skirts.

No need for the wing, it handles awesome as is!

Needs stickers.

Like a Type R sticker right?


Oh, and it flexes like crap now

 

[SkanlaxJMO]

You mean under the truck?

That would be cool too

I like the tint. How's the Focus doing for you - isn't it like the most recalled vehicle ever produced in America?
