My WRC Focus!

[Lordbenny]

Yes, I've worked out how to post pics!

So, here is my car, a 400bhp, WRC body kitted, FWD, 2 seater, flame throwing monster of a Focus.



(It's also for sale!!!)

That looks mighty impressive! What does it drive like?

By the way, when you say 'FWD' do you mean 'four wheel drive' or 'front wheel drive'? If it is four wheel drive how did you fit it all in? What sort of gearbox and rear suspension set up does it use?

I really like it.

It's Front wheel drive, RS Gearbox, plenty of torque steer, plenty of fun Spax RSX adjustable coil overs, front & rear Eibach anti-roll bars, powerflex bushes.

It sounds like a real monster!

Are you sure you want to sell it? Good luck though, if I had the spare cash, I wouldn't mind my own WRC motor!

£60,000 developing it, I'll let it go for ALOT less!

That is an impressive figure. What made you want to build one of these? Are you really sure you want to let it go after what sounds like an awful lot of work?

I am seriously impressed, if I had the spare cash, I wouldn't mind it!

Unfortunately my old beastie is going in for a full rebuild over winter and that is going to cost me a couple of quid!

Gorgeous, but lose the stickers.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice and I bet it's good fun, but why the hell have you spent £60k on a Focus to then sell it?

What will you get for it? £15k if you're lucky? Probably less in these times....

Firstly, I didn't spend £60k on it. It was a developement car for Power Engineering, that's what they spent on it over the course of a couple of years, the car was built to showcase their tuning skills & zetec turbo conversion.

Yes, I'm looking for a bit less than £15k so, it's a BARGAIN!

I have thought about removing them....5 minutes with a hairdryer & someone with finger nails would do it!

Here's a couple of the interior!

Strip it out! strip it out!

I pressume you mean the front of the interior? Well, to be honest the car wasn't made to be an out & out track day car. It still keeps it's carpets, electric windows, CD player (Although it rarely gets used) & has leather seats & a heater etc. It's a relatively useable everyday car although it hasn't been to Tescos or done the school run that many times!

[Lordbenny]

From the side

[robwales]

Very nice, well done.

I don't want to sound like a jealous prick but with FWD, 400bhp (WRC is 300), non-sequential gearbox and all that trim inside, it isn't really a WRC Focus.

ive got to say that theres not much about this thats wrc. apart from the body kit which just looks a bit max power on the road.

im not ford fan but id much rather have an rs (which they should have made four wheel drive anyway)!!

sorry to be soo harsh

[khevolution]

was quite impressed with it until i saw that god dam awful rear spoiler

other then that nice car tho

Agreed, I find it a bit tacky. How come you`ve tagged it with WRC when it`s nothing of the sort.

Not having a go, just wondering

[john185k]

Any pics of the engine?
