The V8 conversion kit is the only reason I would ever consider buying a focus:thumbsup:

maybe a little sound editing

i like when he punched it and the car took off in a completely
straight line

no sideways action for such a light car with a v8

my buddy was in the passenger sit inside that focus when they took that video
i've been told the guy did it in his house garage(that you seen in the video) and took him about 3 years to do it on his own.....obviosly doing on the side whenever he felt like it

as for kits...yes they do sell them.....all bolts on,no welding needed...if yo have time to do it full time it will take you aprox 150 hours to complete the whole thing

in europe they actually had a production of Ford Focus RS8.....awesome looking car....search of it on the internet or youtube ect
