hideous ford focus!

x in the city

saw a absolutely terrifying orange focus last weekend. with a full on bodykit and them silly clusters all over the place.

bloody hell.

if anyone sees this in north kerry...............

why anyone spends about 3 grand on that crap is beyond me........... :eek:

thats not that bad, I've see much worse, how about someone got a 91 Nova with green and yellow flip paint

There are some dreadful things done to perfectly good vehicles, the manufacturers should sue! That or a mass shooting of bad taste max power kit fans every couple of months...

in my innocence what's a cluster?

where does one go - online- to learn the lingo and possibilities - I've had a look at those links stickied above but not learned much...

There's a very tasteless 'ford fok-up' in my area...silver with lots of purple plastic add-on & of course the downlighting matches the interior & mudflaps...ugh!

are stupid lights all lobbed into one unit. they come in an assortment of shapes, sizes, and bad taste.

see thev latese edition of max power for more info!

the saddest ones are on opels and focus.

as for novas......the less said about them the better.

also saw a younglad with a pug 106 or somethin and getting what seemed like 16" alloys , the guy in the shop had to beat the wheel arches to pieces to make it fit.

the next day when i was finding out about tyres.......<turned out i saved a packet else where>, he was back again....seemed like he had an inch too big.

why cant they just accept they got 1.1 litre cars etc and live a normal life....until they can afford a nice motor.!

like a vauxhall monaro.

voom voom!!

StRiKeR

why so many hatchback done up tho? why not coupe!!!

personally I never bother with hatchback!


They just cant do that!!!!

I've seen a 206 with 18"s on it, the poor thing can hardly move

heres me with 17"s on a 2ltr

Cost I presume. Coupés are often much more expensive to buy and insure.

StRiKeR

but when you add up all the money they waste on a 1ltr hatchback, they might as well get a coupe

I think I saw it.. around the Listowel road in tralee a few weeks ago.
nearly crashed because of it.
Felt like going up to the clown and roaring
"YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE BEEN TANGO'ED !!"

make sure you get the VTi UK Spec or SiR model if its jap tho, the VXi is rubbish, for some reason they are so slow compare to the 1.6 Twin Cam Vtec! I had a MX3 V6 which was very very slow compare to the 1.6 VTi, but still passes the VXi Del Sol no problem, but then I got the VTi model and that ate the MX3 V6 like a bullet!

will someone take a pic of this focus you all talking about here? I like to see, seems like its funny looking by the sound of it!

MX3 eh? Was also considering one of those, someone on here suggested it was too girly...what they like generally?

StRiKeR

very smooth, thats if you get the V6, dont know about the 1.5 inline 4 tho!

not that girly, you can make it looks very cool! surely look better than the focus

its not too hard to get the power out of them either but hard to get the parts you need!

import them mostly! I just didnt bother! takes too long to get everything together!

I worked with this bloke who the most souped up yaris in history, he used to lovingly describe it as 'champagne' until one of the girls in the office walked in and asked who owned the pink yaris.

by the look on his face it was the end of his love affair!

StRiKeR

thats worse than my green crx heh heh

atleast the CRX was made to be a sports car!

Whilst orange wouldn't be to my taste on most cars, if the person driving it likes it then big deal.

What do you drive yourself?

you could look at it that way until 1993 model of the CRX came out and the 1992 model of the Civic Coupe came out.CRX mark 3 was made as a 2 seaters only convertible sports car!

they seemed to have tried to move the CRX away a bit from the civic class, even tho the chassis is still base on the hatchback civic, they made it a convertible! and alot lower than the coupe, theres many different things in it too, ie. short gear shifter, interior layout same as all other 2 seaters, stiffer suspensions, front strut is standard for all model for the MK3 CRX! but same engine ofcoz as the Civic VTi except in a much smaller chassis! but heavier! due to the covertible design re-inforcement of the chassis adds weight, and the electric roof also adds weight! but the one with a manual roof is much lighter!

when you get in it, you know its not like a civic, but with the same power a VTi civic has if you have the VTi model! the rest are just waste of time and money, too slow!
