folks this is what the focus was made for right here and i dare you to tell me that this shit isn't awsome.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOE2-cIULp4&mode=related&search=

Hell yeah.. that;s a great video.

thats pretty sweet when he is on the snow

Can someone please tell me, if the rally car can have all wheel drive, why can't this conversion be done to a regular focus? Excellant video!!

Simply put... because their transmissions cost more than a lot of people make in a couple of years before taxes. Also the cars are built like this and don't require a massive amount of work to get one to fit. Here's an interesting read:

funny part was then black kids were holding that crayon drawing of that focus

Sweet, got air?

Yes, those cars have all wheel drive. It, for one, is way too expensive to just go buy unless you have VERY deep pockets. The trans and AWD setups in those cars cost more than $40k used.

sweet video

Argh! Watching this just makes me ticked yet again that SpeedTV ditched the WRC coverage. And them still showing that rally snippet in the "Speed Report" commercial is just another [nutkick]

Anyone know a way to get broadcast-quality WRC video in the states? DVDs, paid online streaming, torrents, anything?

Guess I'll have to fire up some Richard Burns Rally on the PC...

If you find a wrecked Jaguar X-Type, you can do an AWD swap from one of them if you have a 2005+.

now that is the way a focus should move!! simply amazing, i really wish an AWD conversion was'nt so expensive.

ghetto soundtrack


great video though.

beautiful

lol that's alotta smilies, that focus kicks ass! [hihi]

I saw one when I went skiing in switzerland. beautiful!

i really like to watch WRC and i thought that maybe we should all see what the focus was really made to do. if you go to youtube and just type in Focus WRC it will come up with a few more. they are really sick.

i dare you to tell me that this shit isn't awsome.

This shit isn't awe...nawww I can't do it!

It's certainly happening in a far-out kind of way.

The trans and AWD setups in those cars cost more than $40k used.

And even then...its not like if you bought a used transmission and all the corresponding parts for the AWD it would just bolt right up to your car. The WRC cars go through a ridiculous amount of modification...it would probably be easier and cheaper (considering all the custom-made parts you'd have to get) to just buy a used WRC car from M-sport...http://www.m-sport.co.uk/html/carsforsale.asp?language=english

hey yall here is another that i found. man these guys go faster of the road then i can go on the road. and this one has some really nice shots of them getting on the ground. if only i could do this with my car just think of the fun[driving]

i used to work on a farm and my fof would beat the snot dirt racing the field trucks which are 4x4s!. i made 500 bucks one night doing it. front drive only sux. but you still have the wonderfull chassis. if not more docile from the factory that is.

awesome video.......*sigh*

i could watch that all day long. makes me sad they don't bring it to the US

or at least that body style.

that was refreshing

just to chime in on the AWD set up. You don't have to have rally parts to have the AWD. I was dickin around and found someone had takin i think a ranger... the 4 cyl one, and the 4x4 set up from an explorer, and with some custom fabrication he was AWD, lol, lil evo.

damn, that would be fun, I'd kill myself, but I'd die with a [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)] eatin grin

I wish I could afford a suspension that could handle that.

Badass car for sure. But I'd rather have an AWD turbo Focus that I could daily drive.

dang. the suspension on that thing's amazing.

i'm not big into rally racing. are races on snow/ice common? i always figured dirt was the norm. either way, that's fun stuff right there... harder than dodging detroit potholes in january.

Right on, too bad we need plane tickets to see something like that in person

wrc rules but in years passed (havn't seen a rcae in a while)the fans that stand in attendace at the outside of a turn are retards and I'd like to nominate them for a darwin award

sweet video for sure, i needed the awd trubo 300hp action for the autoX today, seeing how i was one of 3 cars with under 250 hp lol

awsome!!!!
