can you take a picture of svt caliper mounting bracket?
i may ask around if someone can make a bracket assuming bracket is the only difference btw svt and st.

i got some good news!!
me and my 2 friends rented shop space for $1000 per month, hoist, utilities and tools(air compressor, press tools, tire mount/balance) are included for us to use without paying extra!
i am so excited. i can even offer some small job such as 12volt accessory(remote starter, keyless entry, power lock, headunit and etc).

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - assembling - Focus man. Focus. - 03-17-2012

That's great news Leo. Now you can vacate that parking garage and get on to some real work. I'll probably have a remote start for you to install once I get some new wheels.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - assembling - konafocuswrc - 03-17-2012

yes yes, it will make the job done quick!

now i can
-drop fuel tank and replace fuel pump.
-cut off exhaust tail pipe and remount up higher
-cut around rebar to make fit better
-drop engine in will be so much easier
-do whole rear suspension swap
-bodywork!

come stop by and get your remote starter done lol
