Seriously, I haven't bought anything yet, just wanted to show my intent to attend. I may co-drive a potential purchase or I may just go ahead and buy it. STF, STX or SMF who the hell knows at this point. Right now I am marooned in North Western Michigan and won't be home until Sunday :(

It won't be a S2k :oops: I may just beg, borrow or steal a co-drive with someone. Finding a new car has been much harder than I thought it would be :stick:

You're more than welcome to drive the bullitt if you like. I think I finally got the handling straightened out sway bar wise and the car seems neutral now. Be something a little different for you to drive ;)

Big thanks to Les for helping me get her back to Greenville and scaring the shit out of me in his 'vette.

2002 Sonic Blue SVT Focus, 96k miles. Spent its entire life in NC and TX. Service records back to brand new. Current owner is obsessive details guy, every fill up, oil change and maintenance is logged in a book. Interor is mint, exterior is mint. Only flaw is two of the wheels have a bend in them that causes a vibration (Known SVT flaw).

I had originally planed to buy a ZX3 Focus and made an offer on one a few weeks ago for what I paid for this one. This one is in infinitely better shape.

As far as autox plans. Probably HS Tire to begin with and morph to STF

Hope to see both you Ryan and Shawn in TIR at the upcoming NCCAR event. Always fun to chase good drivers!

Sweet find Ryan! Will RT-FWD be calling your name at the NCAC?

Not a bad year for buying and selling, especially considering how the CRX transaction ended. :thumbsup:

Well Stock didn't last long! 17x7.5 Kazera KZM's with Star Specs. I forgot how heavy 17" wheels/tires are!

Image

Also picked up a SCT tuner for it. Waiting on some bits to mount the big rear sway bar (no really you need to see this thing), camber kit arrived today, Shocks will be in Bilsteins hands on Thrusday for the rebuild, motor mount inserts here as well.

STF, here I am!!!

What size tire? I'm thinking non SVT focus now given I don't feel like messing with torsion bean suspensions :).
