Keep up the good work dude, stoked to see this build continuing to grow and help me out for my future plans
R154. That trans will easily support the power I want.

I'm more than content with 350whp and could never see myself wanting anymore than that. If I did, I'd say 400-450whp MAX but that would be on E85 and as a strictly track only car.

Do it ourself. I have somebody who can weld. The rest is just a matter of dropping the subframe and putting it back in after everything is installed

Sweet, thinking about doing this mod too. Would you mind taking pictures of the steps you take during the install?

I'll be overseas. A good friend will be doing it for me here. I'll ask him to take some pictures though

Installed the Stance LCA's and got an alignment today.

I installed the control arms and dropped the car and was sitting at this height:


A bit too much for me seeing how the axle angle was extremely jacked up and there was still not much suspension travel. So, I raised the rears up by about half an inch and got to about the same ride height as before.



After that, I went and drove it around and could tell that it was definitely off alignment so I went and got it taken care of. Unfortunately, the stock toe links are maxed out so the best I could do is -1.8 camber in the rear while still maintaining zero toe.

So I'm going to get some SPL Titanium Rear Toe Links to help get the extra adjustment I need and I'll end up going back down to -1.5 camber with 0 toe again.

So now the car is all good for me to drive around on until I leave. I can't wait to start getting everything ordered for the car. It's going to be amazing when I come back.

In the meantime, I have a few parts that I'm going to be installing on my wife's car next weekend ('13 Focus ST). I'll post some pics of that I suppose

So this is how it sits now:



I leave in a few days to the middle east and won't be back until around the end of the year. The car is pretty much just going to sit the entire time and I'll accumulate some things for it while I'm gone.

That being said, this is gonna be the last update for this thread until around October time most likely. How much I post from here on out just depends on how much free time I have to **** around on the forums when I'm over there.

Until then guys..

Yeah. Just make sure everything is lined up within the steering hub/clockspring properly.

You can also check out the SRS light delete DIY here on the forums. It's just a matter of putting a resistor into one of the plugs under the driver seat. Super easy.
