onezx2mike's Ford Escort ZX2 SVT???
well bought this 98 escort zx2 two door with a zetec engine and pussy auto transmission in it. not meaning to mod it at first. but the thing had 90k on it. but getting to the point. a buddy of mine had a 2003 ford focus svt 5 door version. well same car same chassis and motor base. so turns out in 2005 he totalled it. he was going to junk it at first. screw that. i bought the car off of him for $1,500 i ripped the motor and 6 speed manual out and where did i put it right into the zx2. it WAS when it was stock quick. even faster now. its work in progress. but with stock motor and trans. i could blow the doors off by a few car lengths on the factory focus svt. why the zx2 is lighter and smaller. but its nice. so i am driveing the 1998 ford escort zx2. But its original. In my way. its got an svt focus motor and trany. i started moding it like any other ricer out there. i currently have a CAI, Exhaust from header on. chip. and a jackson racing supercharger. cams. i got new fuel rail and fuel pump and injectors. its got new gaskets. new intake manifold. short throw. new fly wheel. tripple plate clutch. and a smaller pulley. on sc. its got nuts to it. if anyone has any questions please ask. or any comments please add. or any tips or even suggestions. please add. i am currently trying or going to swap the interior from the svt to the zx2. i really want the seats more than anything. the dash would be nice though. oh whats funny the factory zx2 mph only says 110. the svt focus says 160mph when my zx2 hits the "110" mph marker it bounces like bouncing off the needle at the end its quite funny.

What do you drive?:
Ford Escort ZX2 SVT???
Engine Type:
4 Cylinder... Supercharged...
Transmission:
6 speed focus svt trany...
Engine Performance Modifications:
WELL STOCK: The SVT Focus engine produces 170 horsepower and 145 foot-pounds of torque. The engine is a 2.0-liter I-4 from the Zetec family and is mated to a six-speed manual transaxle developed by German manufacturer Getrag. This engine’s innovative design incorporates an input shaft flanked by two layshafts, and each layshaft has its own set of final drive gears. Layshaft number one carries first, second, fifth and sixth gears and a 2.88:1 final drive ratio, while layshaft number two carries third, fourth, reverse, and a 4.25:1 final drive ratio. All six forward gears, plus reverse, are fully synchronized.

WHAT I HAVE DONE: 03 Focus SVT motor and 6 speed trans. jackson racing supercharger. It pushes about 10-12psi depending if i beat the piss out of it. intake. full exhaust. short throw. chip. smaller pulley on sc. adjustable cams. gaskets. intake manifold. flywheel. clutch. thottle body. fuel system. pump. 42 lbs injectors. rail. got a few other gadgets including pistons, connecting rods, valves, springs, rocker arms, cam shaft, rebuild of bottom end. the zx2 with that zetec had 135 hp about and with the svt motor leaving it stock was about 170 hp with mods and sc installed i am calculating from what each mod says it produces about 300 at least to the wheels easily. well any questions or concerns or even comments and suggestions i need it all. so take care guys and Happy Modding!
Exterior Modifications:
It is stock except for the graphite wheels from a 99 zx2 S/R. Ford offered them in 2000 for a limited time. and i got em. but i only got 3. the 4th is in my trunk. was whacked by a curb doing about 40. and since it is aluminum. IT CAN'T BE FIXED. Yeah body is stock. but what do you think should i through the body kit on that wings west has to offer? i hate bookshelfs for wings and i hate carbon fiber hoods. but what do you guys think?
Interior Modifications:
Hah! Its stock. bone stock. except for a coat of white in there. a few gauges such as boost, temp, voltage, a/f, and what not thats it. but however will be doing an interior switch. what do you think the blue and black focus svt seats?
Suspension/Wheel Modification:
suspension is stock. but i do have lowering springs to drop it an inch in a half. any suggestions to wheels or suspension parts?
Other Modifications:
i would like to get a rotrex jackson racing supercharger... but i aint got the $$$ yet... i would like to swap the mazda miata speed motor and trany in my zx2 along with the rear end. (get it now a zx2 rear wheel drive) the motor they use is the same as the zetec but its turbo and it is an inline 4cylinder cause of the rear wheel drive. the zx2 and miata have the same frame so i would swap that motor and trany into mine drop the rear end on my zx2 and switch it with the rear end of the miata. so now i got a rear wheel drive ford escort zx2. then i would probably quit racing and go onto learning to drift... get it the first rear wheel drive escort. any suggestions or thoughts???
ICE:
2 twelve's in the trunk and a thousan watt amp to each one. cd player and infiniti speakers.

Subject: your video

The video box is not an html coded box...all you have to do is add the youtube number to get your video to work "ufHyM79PXs". To fix your video all you have to do is add "ufHyM79PXs" in your video box.
