hi there ... well it you can get a focus rs conversion done for 2k i would recomend you go with it .....
a st170 is a nice conversion but seeing as a 1.8 zetec thats been played with a little will put out 170bhp i thing a st enginge would be a wast of cash .......but would look good
things you need to ask your self ......
do you want a turbo ??
how much do you want to spend .... on engine brakes and suspention ........
is the car used everyday ?
do you drive on high rpm ie hold the gears ... to 6k on most gear changes ?
theres a lot of people on that will give advice on engine conversions lol .........
have you thought about the new 2.5 5 cilinder turbo engine out the focus ........ that would also be a nice conversion
good luck
no lol .. i done a charity drive in france for a local charity to me ....... 3days and 1500 miles i done in my cab and rased 2k
it was a bit like the gumball rally but smaller and not as many nice cars ... lol
Am I missing something (probably blindingly obvious!!)?
well apart from one is mfi and one is efi ...........
all you need to do fuel wise is put the pipe from your pump onto the zetec fuel rail and job done ......
i dont know how manytimes i have to say this lol
the rear pacal shelf is NOT structrol its cosmetic ..... if you look under there you will see theres a big box section going from one strut to the other that is the main point where the strenth is ... lol
so puting speakers in the rear shelf will not makke the car any weaker then thay are ..... lol
hope that helps .. but then i know nothing pmsl
