It's a nice looking focus he didn't make it look to gaudy and he actually did engine work instead of just putting a kit on it.

Right now I drive nothing because I'm 15. :) My first car won't be anything special, but when I turn 17 or when my brother thinks I drive stick well enough, thats my car.

Bolted on a bigger exhaust, but what's with the second exhaust tip?  It's single exhaust.  The one on the right looks like it's just hanging off the bumper :p  Not really dual exhaust.  It's an inline-4 cylinder, and the header goes to the single exhaust pipe, then the back of the car shows two tips!  heh.

Otherwise, looks like he put in a cold air intake, which will help thrust and responsiveness most of the time.

Tell him to do wheels and brakes next.  You want big brakes on there before you start putting in more power on the engine, or you'll end up crashing it because the brakes cannot compensate for all the new power.  Believe me I have 13" Brembo brakes and have used them several times already.

Not as much done to it as I saw earlier when I was workin on no sleep. For some reason I saw the intake as a turbo and the pipe running down to a intercooler. But it's still not a bad looking little car.

About the exhaust, he said:

No, a full dual exhaust is straight back from the header (basically v8 style but only some 8's) Now a setup like I have is a 3 inch pipe to the magna flow muffler which goes to 2 different pipes one is 2 inch, the main one, and the other is 1.5 inch. This setup is beneficial to the sound as well as high end horse power. Basically, they both work.

Also, he's thinking about getting a turbo, that's probably his next project. He also just bought new brakes, grok.

Some lady hit my car while it was parked infront of my house this morning. I now drive a bicycle.

And what happened to insurance?

Hers is paying for it. It will be awhile though. It was pretty bad.

Her insurance agency should provide you with a rental until it's done. You should look into it.

Sorry for the grave digging, but I didn't want to start a new topic -- I just got in an accident, so this is what my car looks like now.

He could be there for a number of reasons, ::)

Case of motor oil, along with a mag-lite (blue to match the car haha), some pool noodles, a beach ball, paper towels, and a bottle of windex. No Grok though, sorry.

The beach ball and noodles are used for a game I invented with friends one very dull summer night. It's basically field hockey, but the beach ball is the puck and the noodle is your stick. To score, you hit the oppents light post, or tree.

Edit: There's a squeegee somewhere in that trunk too, along with the dvd navigation system.
