Looks like fun but for $30K you can get some pretty excellent cars brand new.

Automatic? :puke:

Hory clap! That's gotta go like a sexually assaulted large primate! :eek: :cool:

I'm fascinated by the fact that there's enough demand to offer a kit. Might need to price out some wagons... ;)

I'm betting you want both hands on the wheel and paddle shift trans/transaxles are expensive!

Reminds me of the V8 miata kits.

This is a conversion from front drive to rear, so it would be interesting to see what they've done with the driveshaft and mounting the rear axle.

Yeah, but the Miata kit makes complete sense! :)

Exclusivity! One of tens of thousands or one of ten(?)? :)

It's along the lines of an M3. I'd love to drive one but I don't want to be one of "those" guys. :D

I checked out the referenced website and the whole kit is bolt-on with some cutting and drilling. No welding needed. Est. 100-150 hours depending on skill-level.

I need to stop surfing CL for hi-mileage Focus wagons...
