Well, the used turbo is about 2,000$ Cnd.
I'm not much of a speed freak per say, but I like going to the track.
I'm totaly not a bike guy, never was, never will.
I chose the Focus ST because I found it cheap for what it had to offer.
4 doors and space for 5 (uefull with my two boys).
I'm not looking to be the fastest car on the road, but simply want a "quicker" Focus.
Lets face it, alot of us like it becuase we like to thinker with our rides to make it that more special/different than every other one out there. It's a hobby, which can get expensive real fast.
I owned 2 mustangs before I loved them both. One was an '83 that I got the motor rebuilt "mildly" that ran the 1/4 in 14.02s @ 100mph.
This car from factory had only 175hp, at the motor!
Then I got my '99 cobra that ran 13.82@103.2 in stock form but was expensive to maintain (tires, insurance and those damn 800$ monthly payments!) and I parked it during winter, so had to get a winter beater!
So, this focus with this kit should get me near the 13.9 in the 1/4 which would make me realy happy & proud. All this for half the price of my ex cobra!
I know there is a potential for me to screw up my motor, but thats part of the game.
Ford doesn't have to know :ph34r: lol.
