RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 05-21-2011

it will be on my kona, not white one.
expect pics after 7 or something, i m working today..

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 05-22-2011

seems like i do not need spacers, wheels are already 25mm offset.

and kona has 1.5" drop and this is how it looks.

i need coilovers(not h&r 2.75" max) gives more than 3" lower and it will give serious negative camber but i have custom tubular lower arm setup to give more positive camber and the coilover i am looking at has camber plate on it. but when car gets that low, i will need spacer to bring out wheels more.

AND whats up with weather today, i was sweating like a PIG!

RE: My build thread - Focus man. Focus. - 05-22-2011

You need some 4 or 8mm spacers. From what I can see Leo.

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 05-22-2011

i bet it needs more, i need to figure it out once i actually lower the car 3" to 3.5" because i know someone at uk did rs conversion instead of buying it, he has 17x 7.5 0 offset with 2.5" drop and it sits flush. my wrc body is a bit wider than rs for sure.

RE: My build thread - GFXjamie - 05-22-2011

from the looks of things, you need atleast 15-20mm spacers, LOTS of drop then a bit of adjustment to tweak the fit. get the car together with the wheels, coilovers and body set up and see how much room you have. you could even go as high as 30mm depending on your camber and fitment when lowered.

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 05-23-2011

yep yep totally agree.

i am still in process of gathering all parts and put everything at once.

waiting on custom tubular setup, clear powder coated.

my shopping list
- pay off fswerks zetec turbo kit
- buy svt or rally brake kit conversion AGAIN
- coilover
- spec stage 3 and fr differential

then i will be able to put everything together

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 05-30-2011

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 07-05-2011

what was i thinking..
i forgot that i had breaker bar somewhere in kona, finally removed my 2.5" svt mbrp exhaust, it should bolt on to zx3 no problem...
most bolt came off good but 1 just snapped off.

i am going to try to remove frpp modifed svt header fit zx3, egr tube, svt cat and svt flexpipe.

shopping list.
stock exhaust manifold, 2.5" flexpipe, 1 step colder copper spark plugs, exhaust hangers, some exhaust bolts and gasket.

RE: My build thread - ANTHONYD - 07-05-2011

Enough with the photoshop.
Get this car done!

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 07-05-2011

by the time i install bodykit, it will be winter , then i wont have winter wheels and tires to fit under widebody.
so i guess bodykit wont get installed by this year.

but i definitely will put white wheels, inpro headlights, euro grill, suspensions and performance parts soon.

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 07-10-2011
