Focus Owner

[trailbikerider]

Hello all! I am a member on focaljet.com and focusfanatics.com and figured I would join CEG. I love the SVT Contour's, and would love to own one some day. My buddy has a '97 Mystique as well. I drive a 2002 Focus ZTS with every option except leather, Traction Control, and ABS. It has 168,xxx miles on it, and doesn't show it's age at all. Also is a 5 speed with the Zetec and MTX-75. Start out with a few pictures of my car.

That car has been some places in it's young age ....

 

[trailbikerider]

Yes it has. No idea where the previous owner drove, but he went everywhere.

needs bigger wheels. Otherwise pretty nice looking.

How do you like your Kenwood CD player? I am looking at the X492 and X493 and I was digging the 24 bit d/a converter, the front aux ins as well as the 4v preouts.

Some CSVT E0s would look nice on your car. I have 3 sets so if you want to upgrade, PM me for info (Shameless sales pitch :laugh: )

 

[trailbikerider]

Excuse me for asking, what do the E0's look like? Can't seem to find anything by searching (or just not used to the search function).


Thanks for the comments. Wheels came with the car, and actually aren't too bad IMO.

I love it. It has the USB and Aux-in interface, which is handy. Especially the USB, because you can change songs on your ipod through the deck.

Ehhhhhh, not sure If I like those or not. Might have to see a PS to make up my mind.

That doesn't look too bad. I like them way more than the E0's.

and a different angle.
ps. don't mind the front engine bay area. a light pole won the battle.

 

[trailbikerider]

Ouch! That sucks man.

Nice stance on the Focus; I love the first-gen body style best of all. I have an 03 SVT myself, and I'm on [FJ] and FF as well.
