Having driven my cabby and a focus rs powered cabby, It is not a conversion I would personally do, I really do not like the way the engine produces power and they are slow
I know of cabbys with the following engines if you want to be really different, cvh, zetec, duratec, v6, v8, yb, vtec
On a cabby I would not suggesting running coilovers unless you really really need to as they give a poor ride quality for a road car and do create further issues with the shell which then need to be resolved. Im now forced to run coilovers based on my new suspension setup but would choose not to if I could.
hi turbo cabbie the only reason i thought about the focus rs engine is that it gives fairly good power standard which save me having to tune it loads before it goes in as i have also the cost of the coversion before modding the engine, but i dont mind a challenge if im gonna get a nice motor at the end of it
