Dont think so,if you get a chance to get a reg drop me a pm ill check the Ford database.The auto is not linked up to anything more powerfull than the 1.6 as its to weak so unless its a prototype.

Probably just someone being stupid or a mistake in the ad I saw a 1.0L mk5 Fiesta advertised in my local paper last week - i don't think so

Ł15k on bits That, then added to the price of the original car he used, was he not just tempted to buy an RS?

Well - that's dedication for you!!! What base Focus did he start with? I'd imagine his insurance is more than for an RS as well if he's got the engine etc, as he'll have a heavily modified zetec/ghia/edge or whatever, instead of just a standard RS...

As long as he's got something he's happy with Although i'd know what i'd have done

I'll say again - that's certainly dedication to do all that, and spend all that on a normal Focus!!

At least it's a 2.0L i suppose, not a 1.4CL

LOL That must have been so slow it was painful Not exactly quick to start with, then the weight of the kit added, and a massive set of wheels just to help the speedy acceleration along
