That's pretty radical. What did you do under the hood?

Looks excellent. Videos of you racing it please. I love focuses, great fun cars. I've driven far more powerful/quick ones, but none have come close in terms of how much fun it is to drive. My off road experience of using them is limited to a dirt track, a muddy "greenlane" and a blat around a field, but even in stock form it's fairly competent. I don't know m
My dream "obtainable car" is a Focus ST/RS. I may well spend my car allowance on a second hand one early next year.
On the subject of cars, I saw a Ultima GTR at a bike/fast car meet on NYE. Bloke driving it was massively competent and did a fantastic powerdrift out of the car park. I think boy racers are a bunch of clowns, but people who can really handle a 200mph+ beast deserve respect.

wicked, yeah i wish ford US would bring the damn AWD RS over.
fuking ass-clowns.
awd rally cars are mighty expensive to race though, replacing drivetrain/differentials gets VERY costly VERY fast.
thanks

Yeah, same with all sorts of racing. You save for years to build your vehicle, then have to spend more than you earn on new pads, tyres, oil and filters, brake fluid, crash damage, engine rebuilds, etc. :)
I was looking at the possibility of competing in this in a few years time, but speaking to one of the lads about the ongoing cost after the comparatively cheap race bike (£7000, even for a brand new one), I decided it was a bad idea. The saying, "Everything you have, you will spend on racing." Seems to ring true.
I'll stick to traffic light grand prixs for now ;-)
Best of luck racing.
