Default March 2012 ROTM: TurboFocus

Make 2002 Ford
Model Focus ZX3
Color (Name of color) Liquid grey
Motor code No motor code the engine is just called a Zetec motor

WHP/TRQ Pumpgas made 454whp 387tq Racegas made 602whp 501tq

How did you hear about TampaRacing.com? Heard about tamparacing from a couple of friends that were on the site.

If purchased, Why and when did you purchase the ride you have? I purchased this car back in 06 when i was 16 just as a car to get me from point A to B, as i drove it more i began to like it and every since then i love my Focus.

How long did it take you to get the car where it is now? Its been a on going process since i was 16 so a little over 6 years now, Since its a Focus and not many ppl do stuff to them, there has been a lot of trying out parts and see if they worked.

Daily, Weekend, show, or race car? This car is my Daily driver and will continue to be as its very reliable and comfy, it has Ac, Power steering, Heat, Electric windows, etc and it can hold 4 ppl comfortable.

What modification on your vehicle do you like the most?
The mods that i like the most is the Turbo kit i built for it, Its been on for a little over 18k miles and works flawless.
What was the last modification you installed on your car? The last mod I did on the Focus is the Clutch Masters twin disk clutch. Ive had a problem with clutches not holding the power, Like on my 602whp run we had to stop because the clutch slipped so we couldn't go for more. so i opted for a twin disk and its a great mod.

Are there any future plans for this ride? As of right now i want to do a HKS evc boost controller so i can setup the boost by gear.

Do you have any sponsors. no sponsor
