FX4BAJA 10-05-2008, 09:30 PM Looks like a lot of money was put into it not to even use it.

focusdarko 10-05-2008, 09:39 PM looks real clean and low miles, kinda weak #'s for a gt28rs. i bet the reserve is at $20,000
CJohn364 10-05-2008, 10:46 PM Nice lookin Focus.
PapoSwing 10-05-2008, 10:59 PM Probably needs some retuning.... Great looking MKII @ a good price...
NemesisEnforcer 10-05-2008, 11:00 PM not bad, not sure if i like the front fascia or not.
FX4BAJA 10-06-2008, 02:48 AM looks real clean and low miles, kinda weak #'s for a gt28rs. i bet the reserve is at $20,000
Yea,i bet it is at least that. I bid $6400 on it [hihi]
egman2005 10-06-2008, 03:18 AM I would have to say its got some weak points. with the manifold it has and the turbo the torque is very weak!
NemesisEnforcer 10-06-2008, 08:52 AM the tq is low, but it could be fun..not to mention they are only running 11 psi...imagine if you opened it up to 18, and with it being so gutted, must be really light! not exactly a dd tho lol
FX4BAJA 10-06-2008, 09:20 AM Im not sure it is all that much lighter with the cage added.I dont think i would run 18 psi on a stock internals looks like they used the FocusSport turbo kit though.Paint the grille white and take off the stickers and i would drive it hey the [hah] air still works.
homeboyjames 10-06-2008, 09:22 AM seen that on ebay a few days ago looked nice
warneej 10-06-2008, 11:11 AM wow, wonder how it would do in rally-cross
i really like the painted interior with the cage
and those gauges OMG...do they come on all the roush?
Focus112 10-06-2008, 11:17 AM this car is sweet, not very practical but i would return the interior to stock. This is a perfect example of how much car modifications depreciate!
honhon 10-06-2008, 09:06 PM i'd hit it....
one thing i dont understand, the part about custom fitted cosworth IM... its an 05... it should have bolted straight in.
honhon 10-06-2008, 09:08 PM and it still has rubber brake lines... all that money and still has the squishy brakelines? wtf?
Peregrine 10-06-2008, 09:13 PM ^^^lol
The numbers do seem way too low for a GT28RS, but just think, 60 lb injectors, a re-tune and about 20 lbs of boost would put that car into the 300 hp range. But without AWD, the Subies and EVOs would eat that thing alive on dirt tracks.
NemesisEnforcer 10-06-2008, 10:24 PM sounds like someones looking for an awd conversion project [hihi]
Peregrine 10-06-2008, 10:40 PM Turbo project already I have! Need AWD project I do not!
NemesisEnforcer 10-06-2008, 10:58 PM haha, nice inflection of ME lol.
FX4BAJA 10-06-2008, 11:13 PM i'd hit it....

Says it's an 06 if that makes a difference on the fit of the cosworth IM.
Peregrine 10-06-2008, 11:17 PM ^ Not every Cossie IM I've seen has been a real piece of work. I've seen several that needed more attention to the casting before they should've shipped them out the door.
mtadd162 10-07-2008, 10:08 AM yea the craftsmanship on the Cossie is nice but could have been better for the money spent on it...warneej will agree the fittings they give you to go in are ridiculous, granted everything is aluminum but everything that went in felt like it was about to strip
Peregrine 10-07-2008, 10:58 AM The first one I saw was absolute garbage in my eyes. In theory it could be a fantastic piece, but they left off with a lot more work that could've been put into those things. Then again they would've been like $900 bucks lol
mtadd162 10-07-2008, 11:09 AM i kno right lol^^
Focus112 10-07-2008, 11:09 AM i'd hit it....

I thought the Cossie IM had to be modified to fit the 2.0 as it was made for the 2.3. And yes it is an 06

FX4BAJA 10-07-2008, 05:38 PM The white turbo Roush$15,100.00 auction ended and the reserve was not met.
NemesisEnforcer 10-07-2008, 09:14 PM damn, wonder if they will still sell it to me.
FX4BAJA 10-07-2008, 09:52 PM damn, wonder if they will still sell it to me.
I bet they would for $25,000 or so.[woot]
NemesisEnforcer 10-07-2008, 10:11 PM r u the seller? my bid was beat.
Saleen Princess 10-08-2008, 07:46 AM 25,000.00 is kinda pricy ... dont get me wrong because the car is worth it but i dont think someone has that type of money and since banks dont want to loan the money lately how the economy is right now... but hey you never know[dunno]

FX4BAJA 10-08-2008, 05:37 PM r u the seller? my bid was beat.
Nope, i bid on it also and just seen in another post today the guy is a member here.
FX4BAJA 10-08-2008, 05:44 PM auzzie is the username doesn't look like he has posted on here in months though.

UnFocusedST 11-01-2008, 11:34 PM I guess there are some people here that want to blow up the block on that car. 18lbs and 20lbs are not possible on the stock internals. Build the block then push the boost.
sleepyboy 11-01-2008, 11:45 PM the gauges my god the gauges ftw!!
FX4BAJA 01-01-2009, 05:54 AM Looks like it is back up on Ebay.

Waffles ZX3 Kona Sport 01-01-2009, 08:42 AM Damn, that thing is HOT! But my fat azz could never fit in there! [hah]
TommyBlackST 01-01-2009, 10:30 AM This car is awesome and the yellow v-8 that was linked a few pages back was pretty impressive as well...
This thing would be a truly fun daily driver...but for the lack of creature comforts at least in the front seat area (the rest could be left as is)...and yes I would love this car...
Just goes to show if you have the time, money and the desire you can make a Focus meet just about any need you might have with a car..WOW!
Is it just me or is that White Paint just freakin clean or what and those FR badges and the Roush wheels and the and the and the.........
NemesisEnforcer 01-01-2009, 01:42 PM i need those creature comforts tho...wonder why it keeps coming back on Ebay tho.
