What's up guys? I've been reading the posts for awhile, so I finally decided to join. I really enjoy all the posts. Everyone seems really cool and knows a lot abou the sport. Anyways, let me introduce myself a bit.
I drive an '01 Focus ZX3. Yeah, I know. Not cool. What makes it even worse is that it's an automatic. Please, don't thrash on me too hard! It does handle well however, and I'm slowly working on it. So far I have installed HKS Hyper Catback Exhaust, AEM CAI, Focussport spark plug wires, stainless steel brake lines, and Eibach Pro Kit. I'm saving up to either a) buy an s13 or b) do a lot more to this car.
I live in Alabama, yeah, not the coolest place on the map to drive. I do live near a pretty curvy "mountain" road though. It has 5 or 6 good hairpins and steep inclines/declines. Fun stuff.
Oh yeah, my license is suspended for 90 days, which ends on May 24. Long story but it involves a hick cop who had it out for me. Hardcore suckage. Even my lawyer couldn't help. This makes the 3rd time it's been suspended. Btw, I'm 24.
I look forward to posting and reading! You guys and girls are great!

Yeah, I'm not building it up to be a drift car...it's FF. It does grip rather well though. I run Yokahama Parada Spec 2 tires, Hawk brake pads, and Brembo discs (in the front, drums in the back). The ebrake is a very fun tool! I like it a lot! lol Most of the people around here are into the showy stuff. The whole "drifting scene" isn't very big here and it's hard to find people to relate to. It's kinda funny, when people look through my Drift Tengoku mags, they are always like "Why are all these cars busted up?". I just tell them that it's part of the game. It's just a love tap. hehehe

you should see it, it looks kinda funny. I was gonna get one but the pipings only 2".

[Driver K]

Actually, it looks pretty good. It's comes out at an angle and it has a great tone.

I never thought I'd see an american compact w/ an angled exhaust. Did you do anything to the exhaust cut-out for a better fit?
