I was doing what i do best at work when im not busy waste time and i came acroos this website. You guys have to check out this thread he started with a base model euro focus and converted it to a 4wd cosworth Focus. Its insane im so in love with it the paint all the carbon fiber pieces its just amazing. I even saw a post from COCHYN on that site he was holding out i would have loved to see this earlier. If this guy can build this beautiful machine theres no reason why we can't do the same thing with a stock us Focus other than the money issue.

using 100 octane race fuel on an engine dyno for bragging rights? guess i'm always skeptical with these builds posted on teh interweb. they never seem to be reliable enough for actual track use..
perfect example: he posts all these custom AWD parts and then follows up with
Front : Federal RS 595 Semislick 225-40-18
Rear : Federal RS 595 Semislick 245-35-18
there is 1" difference in the circumference of those tires. the center diff is going to get destroyed from the constant difference in rotation speeds of the front and rear tires. perhaps the front and rear diffs have slightly different gearing to compensate for this?
i doubt it.. i think those wide rear tires are to get the 'phat' euro stylez dish wheels with a big lip and a 'mean look' from the wide tires
looks like he is build a show car winnar

Looks like it was closer to 100K Euros...
Gotta hand it to him-nice work but people will always question that much expense on a Focus. Props to him for a killer ride!

Nice car. Buy a house. Invest better. Have toys you can afford with a house, family, cars etc..

I watched the video of the car and thought it would have been better if he actually pushed the car a little harder. Very nice work was done putting that car together. Nice fit and finish.

he sold the car some time ago to someone in Florida... The car was a WRC replica -- minus the AWD .. the car was amazing...
However, that was some time ago, and most of the old links to his build pictures are no longer...
