Not a mustang, but if you like gas mileage and style, its a cool Ford!

So, I thought I would change gears for a minute and post some pics of a build we did not to long ago. The things that intrigued us about the Ford Focus ST when deciding on our next project car were; the turbo charge platform, sexy upgraded interior, and the eco-boost feature it offers. After the success with tuner cars like the FR-S and BR-Z, Ford wanted to follow suite with their own version of a tuner-type, tear down, track car. You see platforms like the FR-S, BR-Z and Focus ST and can’t help but think of all the aesthetic and performance possibilities there are. Here are some pictures from it’s public debut at SEMA in the Toyo Tires booth, as well as a some pictures and videos from the build. I hope you enjoy!

Here are a few of the upgrades we added.

-Vivid Racing Power Package

-KW Variant 3 Coilovers

-Work Meister 18×10 +15mm Wheels

-Toyo 265/35/18 Tires.

-Agency Power
» Intercooler
» Stainless Steel Titanium Tip Exhaust
» Cold Air Intake
» 3 inch Racing Downpipes
» Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler
» Carbon Fiber Grill
» Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser
» Carbon Fiber Fender Flares
» Carbon Fiber Radiator Shroud cover
» Bolt-In Racing Harness Bar
» Rear Adjustable Control Arm
» Rear Adjustable Toe Arm
» Front and Rear Sway Bars

As most enthusiasts, we weren't really happy with looking at the same wheels and tires for very long, so of course, we decided to switch it up a little bit. Which wheels do you like better?

Love it!! Nice work, I like both set of wheels but to be honest I do prefer the first set of aftermarket wheels.

Sweet. I was thinking about picking up one of these since you can get a new one now for like 21k after rebates. Then I saw one at autox spinning one tire the whole day lol. First mod should have been LSD.

And a testimonial for VividRacing.com - loving my new wheels and tires they hooked me up with.

Seriously, I checked everywhere for the best price and VR not only beat everyone but was always available when I called.

Did you sell the Focus?
