Get Pedals' car that's in the for sale section. Much better.

hmmmmm, now if I had bought back my scooby I could have done that to my focus! lol

There is something perverse and wrong abut that! Also, even if I liked it, I'd never buy it at that price! You can buy a Newage Sti for that!

you could buy an old STi for that plus have a decent 2.5 block built along with a PPG kit for that

Yip, then you can sell the PPG kit and the 2.5 block when the old car falls to bits around about it

you can get a jap import classic which will be in much better condition than most newages, throw the 2.5 with the ppg in there and bobs your uncle, if he`s looking for a track car he dosent want a lard arS3d newage, he wants something light and nimble

Yup agree with you guys, overpriced and after all that hard work with the body theyve stuck in a very tired lokking and no doubt running uk turbo engine. Immaculate on the outside, bit of a letdown when the bonnet opens...

With the much better chassis it would kick all your a$$es! yeeeehaaaaa!

Better chassis? You talking about the focus?

My daily driver is a focus and for what it is (civilian car) it's excellent. But if I started chopping up the chassis to fit a boxer engine in there, and then the rest of the floor to take the drivetrain what are you left with? A botch job that neither ford or subaru would have signed off on.

Oh, and don't get me started on doing a coversion like that and dropping in a standard uk motor and transmission. If he's cut corners there where else has he under spec'd it? 2 pot brakes anyone?

If you think you could take on my inferior subaru with that thing I may well have to modify it with an onboard toliet as I'd surely p!ss myself laughing.

A dagenham dustbin with a real engine, but overpriced!

awaiting backlash
