You just have to give it time Matty, hell you practicly just got it all together. If you have built enough cars you know there will always be kinks. You might have to do all the motot mounts. and go with 15 in tires so you can put a little meatier tire on it. Hell if you need to, put it up for a while back away and hit it up in a few weeks.
You can do it.

Yeah, I think a little break from all of this will do you good, so you'll come back working on it refreshed and with a new attitude.

Ah, it always seems like it's gotta be something, huh? You can't even imagine how many things we are still fixing, tinkering with, tuning, etc., on the Focus. It's just enough to make you say **** it some days.....but there's gonna be a big bright light at the end of the tunnel I just know it!!!

That really sucks. But keep your head up and everything will work out in the end.

Yup. But proof that you are making some serious WHP!

Keep schoolin' the iggies (ignorant people out there) and trust yourself to succeed.

To me it wasnt that bad. Your story just told me that there could be something wrong with the WOMP it will still get me home if I had too nurse it home. Keep up the good work.

nothing is wrong with the blower or its design. The rear mount gave out entirely and just kicked it all up into the rad.

If anything people will just be warned about possible damage should their engine mounts go south. I'm HIGHLY suggesting everyone purchase F&R mounts.

nah, just set back a little until I get everything replaced. Actually everything is still moving ahead...I'm just having to get rides to and from work.

Wagner has the piping and he'll have all the new plumbing mandrel bent out of polished aluminum for me next week.

Powerdyne has the 4 new blowers (BD-11a's) built and ready to go (just waiting on the final payment before I can get them shipped).

all of the big stuff is finished...just piecing everything together and getting here asap...

yeah something everyone at the drag strip was impressed with was the fact the car (despite no rear mount, or boost) ran and drove like stock. Try doing that with a grenaded turbo!

Matty Save a few bucks and poly ALL your mounts this time....also instead of $900 on the MSP tranny, buy the quaife for $1300...WAYYY stronger. I think with that we'll see some impressive times
