RACE or POKE!? Portuguese Focus...

[Akeemking]

Hi there...

I'm from Portugal
and own a 2003 Focus 1.8 TDCi since new
that i use for my everyday life.

Reads 286.000kms on the clock.



When bought,
first thing to change was
Eibach Pro-kit springs and smoked blinkers...



...and I rolled like that for years, until the past year.

KW V1s...





Used Compomotive MO in 8j x 18" ET50...



Test-fit...



And that would make the "race"...

DZ Exklusiv...



Test-fit...

8,5j ET30:


10j ET30:


...before I bought this wheels, some dude hit the right rear arch with is car,
and since I needed work on the arch, I've choose 10j over 9j and we made it work on both sides.

That will be the "poke"...

Compotive MO then...





215/35...



225/40...



DZ1s...





Pics of how it sits...



Work needed on rear...

The work to fix the arch from the accident started...
after the damage was fixed, was hammered until this point the pictures show...



Still in the hammering stage...







New MO position...



The inner section cut to work on the panel...



...and closed:



Ready to paint...

With the new rear arches done for the DZ1s... I needed spacers to make it look right with the MO6s... I have some for the stock wheels.... but is something that I prefer to avoid using.

That and not being satisfied with the 225/40s on the 8j MO6 (old style) in the rear axle... I decided to buy 2 new style MO in 9j to use full arch space and run OEM Stretch...

After some measurements, the offset was found and ordered...



Test fit...



to see if width/et math was ok...

MO6 setup done...

my friend Gonças took some pictures too...
