Well, decided to finally make a journal, since I actually plan on doing things to this car.

Ordered the car May 31st, 2008 and it arrived on July 15th to my dealership, took it home on July 19th as my car.

Specs: 2009 Ford Fusion SE
2.3L I-4, 5 Speed Manual
Redfire Metallic Clearcoat
Black Charcoal interior with Red stitching.
Options:
-Sync (Voice Command System)
--USB and Input ports in center console
--Bluetooth
--6 Disc in dash CD
--Steering wheel controls (Phone,radio,Sync)
-Sunroof
-Sport Package
--18 inch 5-twin spoke wheels (225 tires)
--Rear Lip spolier
--Dark Chrome Grilles
--Painted Foglight Surrounds
--Aluminum interior trim
--Red interior accents
-Black leather/cloth seats
-A million little storage compartments

It's a fuel efficient 4 door, that is cheap to insure, cheap to maintain (I work for Ford) and was cheap to buy. I paid 19.5k for a 2009 car, albeit Ford's most reliable car in a long time. It isn't fast, but that's not what I bought it for.

Pics. (more, better pics to be uploaded soon)

Plans:
Steeda Rear Stabilizer bar
Steeda Front Subframe X-Brace
Steeda Front Strut Tower Bar
Steeda Intake Resonator Delete
Steeda Throttle Body Spacer
Steeda CAI
Steeda Short Shifter
H&R Coilovers
Borla or Magnaflow Exhaust
Euro Carbon front lip

Basically make it handle very nicely, it is already a great chassis.

get that sponsorship yet?

garrettej8 · 09-23-2008, 03:24 PM

wait, people mod these cars? do you have any pictures of modded fusions?

Oakes · 09-23-2008, 03:38 PM

Some are over done, some are clean. These are all cars done by shops/companies, there are plenty out there that are modded as well. It's really just like the Mazda 6, people mod them, same chassis and engines in both cars.

Personally not a Ford fan, but I like the styling of these cars, they have a bit of a european look to them IMO. GL with it.

PoorMan'sR · 09-24-2008, 04:45 PM

i have a question, it says you are going to do the STEEDA intake resonator delete and also the STEEDA Cold air intake, wouldn't the cold air get rid of the resonator?

If i remove the insert, the car has to get tuned. The resonator is on the same insert.

IIRC doesnt ford own quite a bit of the company that makes your sporty little dude magnet

scutzi128 · 09-24-2008, 05:37 PM

lol I thought Ford outright owned mazda?

Oakes · 09-24-2008, 05:40 PM

Ford does own Mazda haha. The Mazda 3 and Focus are one the same platform, Mazda 6 and Fusion on same platform, Edge and CX7 are also the same platform.
