For Akheel Tosar, the journey into the automotive world began with a Ford Fiesta Mk4, a car that sparked his love for tuning and modifications. Today, his story is all about his stunning 2007 Ford Focus Mk2 ST225, affectionately nicknamed Ford Foonz. Built for the street, this Performance Blue powerhouse reflects Akheel’s dedication to the craft and his vibrant presence within the car community.
The heart of Ford Foonz is its renowned 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine, delivering around 300bhp (to be confirmed). Akheel has made significant upgrades to enhance both performance and sound, staying true to his vision of a car that turns heads on the streets.
Performance Mods Include:
Akheel’s plans don’t stop here. A downpipe and sports cats are on the horizon, with aspirations of pushing Ford Foonz into “big power” territory.
Ford Foonz offers more than just speed. With a suspension and braking system designed for responsive handling, it provides a thrilling yet controlled drive.
Upgrades Include:
While performance takes center stage, Akheel has paid attention to the finer details of his build. Stock wheels maintain the car’s original charm, while the aggressive exhaust note ensures Ford Foonz stands out wherever it goes.
Akheel is an active member of the car scene, regularly attending events and meets with his team, Ford Hoonz. “Meeting like-minded people is what makes the journey memorable,” he says. Whether it’s at iconic venues like Caffeine and Machine or the annual Ford Fair at Silverstone, Akheel cherishes the friendships forged over a shared passion for cars.
Every car build comes with its challenges. For Akheel, timing issues during the build proved to be a significant hurdle. After discovering the intake cam was misaligned, he sought help from trusted mechanics who resolved the problem and resealed the valve cover correctly. It’s experiences like these that underscore the importance of having knowledgeable friends and a reliable support system.
When asked for advice for fellow Ford enthusiasts, Akheel emphasizes individuality:
✨ “Build to your own taste and seek advice if needed.”
He also advocates for kindness and positivity within the community:
✨ “Be kind to everyone. Have fun and be safe.”
The journey is far from over. Akheel dreams of taking his Focus to the next level with even more power and modifications. From tackling the downpipe upgrade to exploring long-term projects, his enthusiasm for building Ford Foonz remains boundless.
“Meeting and making friends has been the most rewarding part of owning this car,” Akheel reflects. To the broader community, he shares a heartfelt reminder:
✨ “Have fun, be safe, and always support one another.”
