You can put pretty much any motor in the Focus that you want, It's just a matter of making stuff work together.

I have seen SVT Contour 2.5's, Taurus SHO powerplants (both front and rear engine) and multiple V8's from 302's to full blown 2004 Cobra drivetrains with the IRS and all.

That car used to sit at the car wash at the Roseville Target store didn't it?

If so I remember watching it morph from stone stock to the way it looks in those pics, I never knew at the time that it had a turbo though.

Holy Crap, did you know you only have two pedals in there? :shock: How do you make it go? Actually I have seen cars like that before, My Grandmother had one. :wink: Funny, I'm still kicking the floorboard looking for the clutch sometimes....(Focus is a stick...) Just a Fact of the Day: I did get to...

751.58 a month for car insurance
368.43 a month for the car

So that is a total of 1120.01 a month.

All I can say is I REALLY don't mind being old now.

What the hell did you do to get rates like that?

If it helps you save money I have the battery relocation kit for the Vortech still that mounts the battery behind the bumper. It has the remote jump posts like I've seen in other cars so you can still jump it. Thanks for the offer, I don't know about mounting the battery that low in this climate. I...

Us old guys can afford the insurance. And it's grandpa's idea of playing with hot wheels. Oh, Good point. Let me rub it in a little. :twisted: My '02 SVT is paid for and for full coverage I pay $81.00 a month. That is with 2 speeding tickets on my record. It kills my wife because she drives a regul...

17" steelies may be hard to come by for a focus, thats why I recommended the 15" steelies, with blizzaks, your investment should stay rubber side down in the winter. Steve, are those rims the black euro style? If they are, I could be interested.... For $99.00 you get the stock gunmetal Eu...
