Mental.
Is this that 600hp Focus that either broke down every time? Or was denied entry to Track Attack due to space frame front end?
One of those crazy awesome cars (RWD isn't it?) that been waiting years to see, but always had an issue so never really put down some proper proper times?
Is that the one im thinking of?

Ahhh right, his old one was the one he didn't have much luck with? Came about in about 2002-2003?
Building a 2nd one, but its still space framed? So won't be in TA again this year?

Nahh i must be thinking of a different one then. This was the previous shape (ST170/RS) shape. Was white, RWD, had around 600bhp. Fully track setup, caged etc..
But kept breaking parts on it so never got it fully running any times.
So whats this car for? Track motorsport racing? General track days? Can't be a road car surley

Bodykit This isn't a fibre glass slow you down thing. This is a lightweight performance enhancing body panels.
I think if you said to the owner, "nice bodykit m8" he'd probably just laugh
