Re: Focus people
My (very close to) stock ZX3 can keep up with my brothers D16 swapped Civic. It's definately not as slow as most people think. With only bolt-ons, it's a Civic eater... for lunch... and dinner...
Besides, might I remind you, the Focus SVT was every bit as powerful as the Civic Si. And the only real swap option Focus owners have is dropping the SVT motor into a ZX3 or going V6 with the SVT Contour motor.
Don't hate on a Focus because it's a Focus... that's totally being car-racist!

Re: Focus people
Yeah... I decided to leave that one out due to its sheer insanity.
Also, this doesn't really have to do with import/ domestic... Focus is totally euro-inspired. Drive a vee dub or a beamer, then drive a Focus. It's like watered down euro car. The Diet Coke of euro cars, if you will. Besides, I'm fairly sure Foci are "Hecho en Mexico" anyways.
And I agree, everyone is a fanboy of thier own car, but to knock a car before you drive it is nuts. Look past the blue oval and see a car that has potential, like you would look at any Civic or Jetta. Don't pick on the little guy because it's got a blue oval on its face!

Re: Focus people
That is pretty freaking expensive. I'm sure that's not the only place that does the swaps. The guy we talked with at FFW that had the swapped done to his, after car, was only about 10K in parts. He said the work wasn't that hard at all.

I believe they make a bolt in kit. I wish LUV2CORNER would chime in he knows all about this topic.

Re: Focus people
Phew... good thing none of those recalls apply to my car. Not much I can say to rebut that... I never hear people on FocalJet say anything about thier cars catching fire or anything of the sort. Besides, I think the defects go back to the whole 'Foci are made in Mexico' thing...
