View Full Version : My Focus XR5....
Hi all
As per other thread, I've traded in my XR6T in favour of something more feminine and better on fuel.. While trying to retain some fasts..
Enter 2007 LT Focus XR5..
It's got 8000k's on the clock.
Has Recaro sport leather interior
Is completely stock and immaculate inside and out
I will be taking it to wakefield sometime in a month or so, will change pads to something more suitable soon.
Pics as promised....

Comon don't hide behind the blue oval, deep down you know its really an Ovlov in sheeps clothing:stick:
Very nice Kyle. I pass an orange one each morning on the way to work and they are a great looking car. They respond well to a little more boost too!!!

Looks the goods Kyle. They're a cracker of a little hatch and always seem to be getting good writeups in the mags.
A few pics of the Recaro interior would be nice :yep:
They are a very nice car. Ive had the pleasure of working on a couple. Ypurs looks great!! I am a massive fan of those wheels

Nice Kyle.
What are the specs on these things?
What mods you got planned?
Cheers,
Scott
Thanks for the comments guys! :)
Photos of interior soon, was too dark at the time. It is very comfortable.. a little tight on my wide butt but that's ok :D

I'll probably get it flash tuned first and go from there.... Needs a set of pads and aybe rotors before i go to wakefield next month first though.
I would like to do a full exhaust and intercooler + intake, but we'll see first :)
Looks great man, I know a guy that has a Orange one and I like it lots. He has tricked it up with a Flash tuner and exhaust. Thats all I know about his car mate but if you are keen I can get more info off him.

While the wheels are still clean head to supercheap/repco and get a can of armorall wheel sealant and go nuts on them. It will help SO MUCH!!
I need to get the wheels off and clean the inside of them Dan... :)
They're covered in muck on the inside.
How long does a coating of the sealant last? Is it something that has to be done regularly?
