You nailed it.

my 1502

I just need to fork out for someone to fix the electrics and she's good to go!

1502s look so cool with the blacked out window moulding chrome :)

[edit] that focus is godawful.

Finally got around to washing my car, so what better time to snap a couple of photos.

2002 Focus, 1.8l engine, nothing much modified as of yet aside from the wheels and various cosmetic bits but I have got some plans for her.





And bonus interior shot:

Now with more bumper:



I need to adjust the hood latch and get the rest of the bumper hardware on it but I think it looks better like this than bumperless :shobon:

That's pretty cool, any idea on who did the conversion? I'd imagine it wasn't a factory thing.

I am incredibly angry at Ford NA for turning our Capri into a Fox-body shitpile, meaning we never got that beauty (Only the Mk.I and Mk.II, and those are unbelieveably hard to find now).

Why was the Fox-body Capri bad? It looked way more aggressive than the Mustang, and it had that cool Roush homologation bubble rear glass for Trans-Am. :)

You should be mad at Ford NA for bringing that stupid Australian Capri here.

hahah but the weird (to me) thing is I already got some poo poo and hate for buying it from different owners (mostly 350Z guys) saying it's a stupid car, weak, etc.

Make sure to point out that the 350Z roadster is one of the ugliest cars on the road. :) Nice Z4, I've always thought that the tail lights were kind of a throwback to roundie 2002s!

Art is subjective, but talk to any photographer, or probably any artist worth their salt, and they will tell you that that is not good photography. It might be subjective, but there is still such a thing as objectively good and bad art (I guess that is technically my opinion, but your really splitting hairs if you want to get into that).

Considering the first thing that I noticed is that the car isn't even lit correctly (light source is behind it) and that any light on the facing side of it is probably purely coincidental, I'd agree that yes, that picture is terrible. HDR has its uses but throwing a RAW file into Photomatix and cranking all the sliders over creates some very ugly pictures.

<sigh> I'll never understand why Ford won't sell the cool cars here.

It's a Protege5 but I still wonder why Ford let Mazda use it in the US and not themselves.

I mean I understand that it's much more of a Mazda than a Ford but you could still wonder why the new Focus platform is sold here as a Mazda (which already has pretty good perceived quality) rather than a Ford (which could benefit way more from that perception).

Are people angry because vwvortex LIKE the wheels?? Hahaha.
Most of the dub scene hates them because 'too many people bought them' so who gives a poo poo. It's not a scene approved mod anymore.

I think people hate them because they are way too loving big

The wheel design is nice but much better suited in a 17" or 18" size where there's some actual sidewall

1994 Honda Civic DX:



It's in decent shape for a Minnesota car, aside from a cracked headlight, blown speakers and a little bit of questionable body work.

1995 Mazda Miata with popular options package:





I like taking pictures of my Miata parked next to oversized objects.

I also have a 1990 Jetta but I hate it so much that even thinking about it causes my blood to boil with rage.

As much as I love it I'm sort of bugged by the huge "LIGHTNING" graphics. Would it be the end of the world if I removed them?

My grandfather had a red one and he never put the decals on, I think it looks better that way. Don't the seats have it stitched into them anyway?

Thanks for that link. After reading it, based on price of parts alone it seems to make sense if you're starting from a stock engine. I'm lucky in that mine already has tuned DCOE 45s so I'll stay with those since they make wonderful noises. :) I definitely have some room for increasing the performance in other areas.


Another 02 owner, yay! I'm pretty sure I've got the same front strut bar.


Another early model Granada Red?!?! What year is yours? Mine is a 68.

I don't have archives, so I can't see your thread, how much is there? Do you discuss the fender flare installation?

It's a '69, most of my content posts in the thread I've put here: http://www.spaghettiblender.com/blog/ (do people even still use the word blog??) You can email me at spam@spaghettiblender.com and I'll send you my real email address if you want to ask me any questions. I'm considering putting a new thread together of what I've done in the past ... 3 years ... but for now you can do that if you'd like
