that lil' shoe looks hot! Very nice! Love the factory wheels. That's some style.

Bobby Crougar · August 15th, 2006

Looking good!

gman · August 15th, 2006

They aint factory wheels, they just look like them.

Original factory fit are 18'', thems are 20''.

bruinfan05 · August 15th, 2006

People buy Fords?

People buy Fords in Europe?

gman · August 15th, 2006

Yeah, especially this one, it took us 6 months to get it because of all the orders the factory at Saar Louis is getting.

I'm kinda at love/hate situation with the back. One one hand I like the straight slant more then the bubble the ones here have, but the straight drop just kills it for me.

And, I don't know if it's just the lighting but the low profile 20's look kinda goofy from afar.

gman · August 15th, 2006

Its probably the lighting or the wheel position.

The straight drop is why we put the middle spoiler on it (just below the back glass ) to try and break it up.

The wheels have a Ford eblem on 'em....:WTF: are you talkin' 'bout Willis?

gman · August 15th, 2006

Yeah..we took the original wheel emblem out and put the Ford on it.

They look exactly like the originals, and subtle is the word here

.

Part from when we changed the exhaust, now its a bit louder.

The wheels are from MS design who are approved by Ford.

What's the power plant under the hood?

gman · August 15th, 2006

turbocharged 5 cylinder 2.5 litre engine.

225 BHP with a 6 speed gearbox and i believe it is front wheel drive.

0-60 in about 6.5 seconds.

Not overly quick but for its size it beats a lot of cars.

And the best thing? stick a bigger turbo in and remap the ECU and this thing will do 300 BHP

The descent, there's really nothing in that price range here that compares in performance. Does the car have a nice throaty sound & nice turbo whine?

Lady_F · August 16th, 2006

very very nice!

Not really, once you rev it you can here the turbo and the twin exhausts kicking in.

We put a new exhaust on it from new though, so ours has more of a pop and a growl at revving and start up.
