Dream focus build?
#1
So if money was no object what would your dream focus build be? I would love to drop in the previous rs motor into a mk1 zx3. Just for shits and gigs make it rwd. Obviously get a 35r onto it and build the motor. Do a five lug swap amd finish it with some te37sl's.

i would get a mk1 focus and put in a volvo T5 engine into it. If it was possible to take the awd system as well then i would have the S60R engine and drivetraine from that car.

I think most of us would, But I don't think that was the idea behind this thread.

I to would buy a alot of other cars but building a focus that would be able to do anything would be pretty sweet.

350-400hp at the wheels, AWD. Best suspension, best brakes(BBK?), custom seats (bigger bolsters, more comfort, more leather), complete european conversion.

Something like that

My dream Fofo is slowly coming together... The only thing right now that I would like to do just for s**t and giggles is make it a RWD but I don't walk that path without a hoist. My plan is laid out and at the end will be my dream car.

mk1 focus full rs conversion or wrc styling, ybd Cosworth engine t9 transmission straight cut gears, Turbo possibly twin if room allows for it. Wrc coilovers for rally, airbag suspension to sit on its nuts. Bother type a 3-piece wheels 17x8 front 17x9 back offsets of around +30. Full rs interior, shaved engine bay, and flocked interior panels.

Or change just the engine to a 351 clevor engine symmetrical twin turbos and leave the rest Big Grin

I'm up for the last gen Euro RS. Likely a few mods and I'm good to go! Something like below.
