Not sure, interesting idea though... Have you considered the Mondeo XR5 :evil_laug ..... I know it is hatch only, but the difference in a sedan or hatch for the mondeo is negligible at the most! Plus theirs alot less fiddling around than modding a Focus sedan to that extent and personally I think the Mondeo looks better than the Focus sedan

If you want a hotter performing sedan, I think the XR5 engine is too hard.
Better off getting a bunch of Cosworth parts to modify the 2 litre engine in the sedans eg http://www.focussport.com/cosworth-engines.htm http://www.cosworthusa.com/store/pc/...?idCategory=20 Or add a Duratec turbo eg http://www.focussport.com/turbocharger.htm Turbocharging the existing 2 litre would probably be your easier and cheaper option

Not sure if you've seen this thread: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...13#post2146213
looks like someone is in the process of a similar plan to turbo a Focus sedan... |
