But the focus is gay looking... mine is sexy lol. And if I recall right Ford actually used mazdas engine platform on the focus so the focus would be a sister version of the 3.

Stock for now other than a Cobb accessport Ecu tuner and a Cobb hybrid bypass valve. Oh and a twm shift knob and mud flaps I gotta install.

Eventually a white short ram intake and Turbo inlet pipe for baby sucking intake goodness, high pressure fuel pump internals so no zoom zoom boom, and eventually a catted downpipe. Also various little things.

Torque steer sucks with skinny tires (especially snow tires, too soft) but my bypass valve sounds awesome. Thing is damn quick at 18psi lol

I'm a fan. Looks great lowered. I've contemplated lowering the scion, but can't bring myself to do it due to winters.

get some coilovers lol. i considered it but actually its at stock height right now. thinking about spacing out the wheels or gettin 18x8's and running some meaty ass tires. like 235 or 245's.

and thanks peels missed you too

Post by: Krandall on January 25, 2012, 07:33:07 AM
don't mind peelz, someone has been pissin in his cheerio's lately. Are the tires a bit bigger than stock? The wheel to fender gap is pretty close, looks noice :)

actually smaller. Stock is 215/40/18 I think. These are 205/45/17. They could be a fraction taller. It sits about as high as my old 3 did on eibach springs. I like the look now I just want wider tires. Traction is already becoming an issue lol
Title: Re: return of the MINIHO!
Post by: Krandall on January 25, 2012, 12:20:28 PM
That's cuz your on a snowy road noob!

Get a set of blizzaks for winter, you won't worry about traction.
Title: Re: return of the MINIHO!
Post by: Colorado700R on January 25, 2012, 12:22:35 PM
wider tires = worse traction in winter

they were option 2 for winter tires. I'm running contintnetal extreme winter contact. The blizzaks wear really fast from what I've heard.

I've heard both ways about winter tires. Some people say narrow tires cut througj snow better others say that new tire technology you can run wider tires. Either way these were cheaper lol
Title: Re: return of the MINIHO!
Post by: Krandall on January 25, 2012, 01:34:42 PM
Blizzaks are solid if you keep them off the road when it's 50°+ outside.
I'm on my 2nd year w/ mine on. a lady I work with has had hers for 8 years.
Title: Re: return of the MINIHO!
Post by: Peelz on January 25, 2012, 01:55:43 PM
meh....the cost of blizzaks outweigh the return. They are good, but only if it snows ALOT, and it doesn't here :(

or if you have a sports car with hard and wide tires. I drove a brand new RX7 in the snow. completely useless
Title: Re: return of the MINIHO!
Post by: Krandall on January 25, 2012, 02:33:35 PM
Last year was the first time I've EVER had snow tires. no lies.. I'm a believer.. They are the best thing since sliced bread up here :mn:

ZOMBIE THREAD!  :lol: what the hell is up guys?!

bored, so i thought id update this a bit. had a mazda meet at Orange County Choppers [(as in the tv show) their staff photographer owns a mazdapspeed3 thats super awesome and hosts the meet annually] back in april. i just so happened to land a full sponsorship out of the blue. one vendor was scouting for a sponsor, and for whatever reason, they said i stood out.

www.jamesbaroneracing.com

hes releasing a bunch of shit soon, like a massive 1 piece 3.5 inch intake, a tubular exhaust manifold, possible fmic piping kit, crazy stuff. all gets sent right to me for free   :thumbs:

anyway, right now i only have a rear motor mount, and a rear sway bar, but in a week or so i should be getting more stuff. heres a few updated pics
