Buy a beat up Focus for 4-5grand, buy the $14k kit and go Z06 hunting. Forget ricer... 5 liters, 420hp, and a tremec 5 speed... all in a quaint little focus... Imagine the possibilities

I think I'd leave this little focus alone

Yeah that kit came out in like 2003. There's a vid floating around the web of someone doing a burnout..

And I just read another thing online where they are offering the 05 4.6 as well.

Still a sweet idea even if u dont like Focus'... Id never expect to hear a V8 growl from a Focus

Buy a nice SVX for 4-5grand, spend $14k on Stg3, 6mt, internals, and go Lambo hunting. Forget that ugly Ford.

Have more fun in a SHOGUN festiva or that Geo Metro with the GN motor that runs 9's

$14g's ought to fix my broken front dif right?

Oh wait... thats only $2000.... how fortunate

14 g's Id spend 4 grand on a ttype and the rest to make it run 10's

then buy another one with the left over $$

For $2000 you aint going to get much in a used car if you think about it

my $500 93 Tbird has cost me $2000 in body work and parts and $500 for upper and lower ball joints not including the complete tune up I did on it

A used car usually means putting some $ into it eventually

My GF's 2002 truck is starting to give her problems I still go with the 5 year rule after 5 years its down hill
