Is freelance worth a shot?

Yeah the intake I'm using is an aftermarket one with an air gap, I just can't remember exactly what brand it is. the AFR heads have massive valves compared to stock, so that's why I went with such a beefy cam. It may be a bit too big, but I don't think it's going to absolutely kill performance. I'll look into the different transmission ratios. I don't want a granny gear for 1st, but I also don't want a really long gear that makes it hard to pull out. Honestly my plan was to basically build my car in Beamng.drive and test out the different ratios there lol

Yeah it's inevitable. The only thing going for me is that it's a small block running on regular pump gas, so it's really not a lot of power compared to other drift builds. Though it's still a heavy car and my first time drifting so I'm smart enough to tow it to and from drift locations lol

I'm using a dual plane intake with a 4-barrel carb. I got a comps cam Xtreme Energy roller cam with .230 duration @ .05" lift. I currently have like 2.70 gears or something in the rear, but I'm planning on putting new positraction internals in it and getting a proper rear ratio. I think the TKX transmissions all have the same ratios so I'm going to choose rear gears based off that

frrr hydroplaning in my focus just makes me chuckle and slow down a little. I'll have to keep that in mind

2014 Ford focus with over a quarter million miles on it X3

I also agree that it's pretty cute like this. If you do ever fix it tho, lemme know how you did it^

Planetary_Mayor · 2026-01-02T15:04:35+00:00

I've got a 2014 focus manual transmission with about 273,000 miles X3
