[Oscar The Grouch]

Holy f*** that's redonkulus! :o

Guessing from the setup from what I can see, wouldn't be surprised he's going to make into the 600hp-800hp range. Hope he reinforced the frame... :rolleyes:

i talk to this guy on msn since i knew him from FF from like 2005. He's a mechanic and good with his hands.
His DD is '04 STi that he bought for like $19k with low low milege and he's got some crotch rocket.......damn it, he's got all the cool toys.

Cant agree more...

Notice his GM jack stands too.

Above all, Great build, I wish i had the tools to do this still.

BUT in the end its Still a Focus

With that engine, and solid mounts, I can imaging the windshield will be cracked a lot :P

It's an interesting build -- but I'd still like to see someone put an IRS on the car rather than the solid rear axle...

*drooooooooooooooool.......but yes a Ford engine would have been epic x10

Thats one of the major companies that makes parts for the RWD conversion.

Ive seen a few 302 (5.0L) based and some 4.6 DOHC conversions!

ZX3 2NV shoulda kept his car and done this swap to it!

[darkpuppet]

Even though a well-turbo'd focus won't make the same noise, or burn out the rears, it's a better-balanced car than most of the RWD conversions out there.

Those V8 swap Focus's most likely can't handle for $hit.

But I agree with Oscar....you won't get the "skeet-skeet" action from people

If I knew what I know now I would of never boosted my focus it would of been straight terminator swap. I pretty much spent the same kinda money on all of my builds.

I think if you lived with a RWD swap in your focus, you would have wanted your turbo'd focus back.

The focus just isn't the car for RWD IMO -- AWD, maybe, but solid axle RWD, I'm just not sold... there are chasese much more appropriate for RWD and cost barely more than a focus.
