I have been using Toyo R888's on all 4 corners and they stick pretty good but even turned up with the upgraded turbo it doesn't hook until third. FWD man you can't get around it.

I can relate to the front drive as I came from a Caliber SRT4 laying down 360/370 whp.  I would spin in third occasionally.  Made a better roll car 60 mph on up it ran like stink.  You had to pull the big brakes off to run slicks.  Then you needed a new clutch...

That right there is part of the reason I  am selling my speed . Highway pulls and instant burnouts below 40 is fun but gets old quick in my opinion.  I dialed it way back to where it was on the edge of hooking and spinning made car more enjoyable to drive

All that stuff is chronicled heavily over on the ST Forums and I have a bunch of different items used on my own car listed here :

It's a fun car for what it is but at the end of the day its still FWD and that limits its usefulness once you crank up the power in it. I actually think its a lot more fun and better balanced car slightly modified then more heavily modified but to each his own.
Torrie, help us get the Focus guys over HERE!!!! :)
