or a car for tht matter:P wat all mods did u make2it? apart frm the air in-take obviously which is a given :P

A CAI is a given huh? lol. You'd be surprised how many people thing they can make power with a set of headers and a catback WITHOUT a CAI. Motors need to breathe.

A full list of the mods? Click the image in my signature.

Zaid, Pictures on that same blog.

Magnus... You Volvo have a Turbo? If so we can make a bit more power for not much money. Cars with turbos as a stock option already have very well built motors. Unlike me, who has to build a motor to handle the power, yours is already built to handle the pressure of a turbo. so we can build on that!

Come on! It's fun!

How much did it cost? I'll hit 550 hp and would still be cheaper than a Corvette that costs roughly 240,000. Sure, not as pretty, and not as "cool" and doesnt have that great vette transmission... but I didnt have to sell an arm, 3 legs (borrowed one from a friend) and my 1st born for it.

Also, I can actually sit in a charger and close the door! Im rather... large... in the kung fu panda way.

LOL. You're cute! I don't think Magnus's wife would be happy with that suggestion right there. I'm not doing cartwheels over your dangerous ways.
And umm excuse me?! Lyra wasn't part of your project and never will be! Easy there panna.

I do love cars, but the only time i modified a car was in Need for Speed!!
Im getting a new Focus soon BTW

[gajanan]

you go get the new focus, THEN we swap But jokes apart, i think the focus is a pretty neat car for normal drive. Besides i have had one accident when a bus scraped into me, and the car didnt budge an inch (heavy), I go on long drives when i am bored and free, and its served me well in oman, al ain including a few hatta wadi spots hence its sturdy. Althought after an experience like this you need to give it for a service and its back to new again.

If you are getting the focus from abu dhabi, then the service center is MUCH better than dubai. I live in dubai but i service my car in auh they are that good. Anyhu best of luck.

Actually the focus is not to be taken lightly. It is (loosely) ported from Ford's rally cars. I rather like the hatchback focus. Of course, I like American cars way too much for my own good. :-D

No Turbo I'm afraid, but as I said plenty of packing space Not that glamorous or cool but practical.
