Dyno Day For Ford Focus Enthusiasts At FSWerks

Randy R.

November 17, 2009

The Ford Focus community of owners is really strong, and the enthusiasts who modify their cars have an even stronger bond. This video talks about that community, what they do with the cars and a bit about Dyno Day at FSWerks in Southern California. Dyno Day is a get together where people share ideas and experiences. Some of them get to dyno their cars on a chassis dyno. We even had a couple from Lincoln, Nebraska, come to the event as part of their honeymoon.

The Dyno Day was a lot of fun and as always it was great to get the community together. I felt like the odd man out bringing my Fiesta, but I'm glad I was able to let some curious people take it for a spin :)

PS, the video rocks, but I would love to see an extended version, and give us the ability to EMBED it on other sites to spread the word! Reply

FSWerks show how a great aftermarket company should operate. They provide solid, well-engineered performance parts and fully support the enthusiast community through events like this.

This video is exactly what is needed to show those not familiar with the car that it's highly tunable and has a fan base of great people who gather on sites like Focaljet to share their passion. Reply

Great video! FSWerks is a top-notch company to deal with. They never disappoint in their products or service. It's great that Ford has such a great tuner company working with their Focus. Reply

Great video and great company. Events and videos like this show the community that can develop around a range of affordable and exceedingly modifiable cars.

In addition to providing excellent service and events, FS werks provides a home for the Ford enthusiast as well as those looking to be impressed by a suite of cars that often go unrecognized.

Building community is a great way to build brand loyalty and show these cars off as part of a lifestyle not just transportation.

On the technical front, companies like FSWerks push the boundaries of the "daily driver" and help create an automotive experience.

Long live the Dyno Day. Reply

Really cool video! Wish I could have been there, too! I think it's pretty rad that Ford puts this kind of stuff on their sites now. Who woulda thought a bunch of Focus people at a dyno day would be represented so well. The quality of the video is a nice surprise. Hats off to FSWERKS for supporting the Focus scene like this. Seeing this kind of thing makes me want to buy some stuff and modify my own car. Now just need to save up a bit!! :) Reply

The video was great. I must have watched it 20 times now. I told all my friends to take a look and watch out for me.

I must say, I love when ever FSWerks has an event. I try to make it out to every event they have so I can meet some great people and look at lots of amazing cars. I also love the fact my fiance loves going with me too.

FSWerks is a wonderful company, I trust their products over any other out there. FSWerks is making it possible for me to realize my vision I have for my Ford Focus.

Hurray for FSWerks! Reply

I had a fantastic time during the dyno day! Thanks to Ford and FSWERKS for putting it on. Thanks to FSWERKS for the great work on my turbo! It really helped me during the car's shakedown at Redline's Time Attack and was a HUGE factor in the 3rd place finish in FWD Mod class. :) Just the beginning of things to come! Reply

Ford, listen to the positive feedback. We love our cars and modify them so they feel as they should have when they came from the factory. We have a strong dedication to this niche market and will continue to spend our time 'wasting' away on our favorite car.

Well done on the video and what a great G2G FSWerks! Keep up the positive outlook!

I wish I could have made it out for the event. I'm in Michigan and I have FSWerks stage 2 turbo. I couldn't be happier with the car and the extra's that I've put on my Focus. It's a fun ride! Reply

The automotive community is a close one and FSWerks takes it one step further with Focus owners. Events like Dyno Day not only is a socializing event but also one that Focus owners can share their stories, modifications, get tips and simply learn new things about their vehicles.

The Ford Focus is a great handling car that packs a lot of power in a small package. But it is also a car that owners can personalize... make it their own. FSWerks is a great resource to enhance the performance, add a body kit or just go for a tune up. They make it possible to take a daily means of transportation and showcase it as a piece or artwork or to highlight someone's individuality. And, they do not limit themselves to West Coast culture... they bring Focus owners from all over the country together.

Randy and Vik are great to work with and really understand the car and their owners! More importantly, they are an excellent avenue for Ford Motor Company to utilize in the design of future products and accessories. Reply

Awesome video! FSWerks is an excellent company to work with. My first dealings with these folks is I saw them on "Street Tuner Challenge" on SPEED network and I called them. Vik answered the phone and we had a great conversation. I told him what I wanted to do and he gave excellent advice. Randy has be stellar in other aspect of the build. Now I have a turbo charged Focus station wagon all because of these guys. Reply

I have been a FSWerks/FocusSport dealer since 2000. As a dealer, I never have to worry about their quality...it is always top notch and I have used many FSWerks parts on my own Focus and have been greatly satisfied with their performance and value.

The support that I have received from the staff at FSWerks is some of the best I have encountered from any supplier. Reply

Love the video. When I first watched it, I immediatly got in my car afterwards and went for a cruise. Its so funny seeing the faces in the video because I actually know who they are from Focaljet. I have been in a Focus since 2004 and havent looked back. FSWERKS, thank you for rocking and keeping my mouth drooling with what you guys have done (and keep doing) for the community.

I have been a FocusSport/FSwerks customer since day one almost 9 or 10 years ago. I have never seen anything but top notch work come out of the FS shop. Randy was always around to field my questions and ramblings when I had my Focus. Focaljet and FSWerks are a major part of what makes the Focus community so strong. Here's to another 10 years and more awesome parts and work!!!! Reply

Nice Video! Even though it's only about a brief moment of time in the world of Focus fans, it does a nice job of catching the flavor of the community. I hope that there's a sister video in the future at a road-course event! Great Job!

Great video! I can only repeat what was said about Dyno Days and similar events. They are a great way to meet people, see what your vehicle can do, and get some bragging rights in with the crowd.

I've met a lot of great friends throughout the Focus community around the world. I'm glad that FSWerks has been there from the start to support the Focus aftermarket, and they have been a significant factor of growth for the entire Focus community. I'm also glad that Ford is recognizing what a strong Focus community there is here in North America and around the world. The Focus is an amazing car with great driving dynamics and great on my wallet (maybe that's why I have over 268,000 miles on her)! I can't wait until the next-generation Focus.

Keep up the great work, folks! Reply

FS Werks has proven over and over that they are at top of the Focus tuning world. With excellent products backed with even better customer service they provide the best parts and experience there is.

The performance their products bring to very demanding contests like the Street Tuner Challenge, NASA Time Trials, Redline Time Attack, SCCA autocross etc etc show more than any words can convey. Great products from a great company! Reply

I'm going to be in the market for a new car shortly. The problem I'm having is Ford does not offer a compact/midsize car with a hatch or wagon option. I need the utility these types of vehicles offer. I have owned nothing but Fords my whole life. Sorry Ford. The next new car I buy will not be one of yours. You really screwed up getting rid of the Focus hatch and wagon. Reply
