Bought a new daily driver - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So I bought a new daily driver to replace my 02 Ford ZX2, it's a 2007 Ford Fusion SE with the 2.3L 4cyl and auto trans. It has a the appearance package which is the black chrome grilles and also has the leather seats with the cloth inserts. I'm pretty happy with it so far and i'm sure i'll mod it some once I get it paid off.

I love the look of the current gen Fusion, but the prior is so effing dull.

At least you'll blend in... I for one want that in a daily driver.

The01Cav · 06-12-2014, 10:49 PM

I am hoping to do a few things to it to make it blend in a little bit less hopefully, I just wanna get it paid for before I do much of anything to it.

New pics of the fleet.

Couple updates, got some window tint and installed some Tein S-tech springs from a Mazda 6 since it's the same platform.

Before the drop

after the drop

^ holy smokes that's low!

The01Cav · 07-08-2014, 10:59 PM

Haha, they claim 2.1F and 1.7R for the mazda6. I didn't measure to see what it was on the fusion though. I just wanted a decent drop that didn't make the rear sit lower than the front.

The01Cav · 07-15-2014, 12:54 AM

I was a little bored this evening so I decided to play around with the fusion a little bit. I put 2 of my Boss 338 Wheels off of my mustang on to it. Wheels are 20x8.5 +28 with 245/35/20 front and 20x10 +35 with 285/30/20 rear and the car is also lowered on the tein s-tech springs.
