Its supposedly an 02 with the euro headlights and spoiler.
Focus power turbo kit, upgraded internals, a half cage and a new tune on SCT ProRace tuning software... I havent driven it, I pick it up in a couple of weeks.

How much are they asking?

A Spec Focus may be another option for a track ready Focus since it has it's own group.

The Neon is a piece of crap compared to the Focus. I drove both when I was cross shopping them.

Those aren't the Euro "ST170" headlights, they just seem to be the darkened USDM ones that were standard on the 03/04 models. The euro headlights have separate reflectors for the low & high beams. The SVT hid's had a low beam xenon projector and a halogen high beam for the record. Otherwise that's a good foundation, 2800lbs and 240hp will be fun! The Focus Power turbo kits made kickass numbers, SCT tuning is pretty standard, and who doesn't love H&R's. Also hawt that you got the blacked out SVT/euro wheels.

sweet. i've always had a soft spot for Foci (plural Focus?). i agree though, Ford UK > Ford US by a lot, i especially like the new 3-door UK Focus.

I dont know why...... Ford doesn't sell them here.... Two years of ford selling uk or aus cars here in the state they wouldn't need government bailout.

so true. they're always worried about something stealing sales from the mustang, but some people don't want the mustang so they look elsewhere.

A sale is well a sale..... lol


Who cares about a mustang anyways..... Hell the new Shelby is like 70k.. Even with that 80's interior. Doesnt anyone know.... Retro or not.... You cant keep changing the color to keep people buying.... Fords going to have to quit beating a dead horse.....

Bring over the real cars....

An AWD Focus would easily be above $30k , but who would wanna pay over $30k for a turbo motored, awd, compact car?

oh wait, dammit.
