To cut a long story short...
my 1999 KN Laser Sedan was written off by a Mercedes ML320 4WD. my baby was a multiple trophy winner for stereo competition on the local scene and received invites to the Australian National Finals. i was ranked 4th in the country for the class i competed in. that aside... it looks like im getting a 2003 CL Focus 4dr Hatch (would prefer 2dr for a smaller cabin area for comps) Im going to have a full competition system in the car, but i also want to look at engine work and body work on this car. What are my options with a Focus? should i look at a different model/year to make things easier? Thanks in Advance ![]() |

Good thing about the LR Focus is that there is heaps of stuff in the US that can work out it, as well as a well established base in the UK. The LS doesn't have as big aftermarket stuff...
Check out european-parts.net as a starting point...

If you hunt down a 3 door LR Zetec, from 2002-2004 Sont did a number of project cars with custome interiors, there may be some help out there on those. They're a solid car and would provide a solid base, especially in 3 door.
The performance options would be turbo at around $5,000 for best performance, or otherwise a new intake, full set of headers, exhaust, high-flow cat and a tune. That'll liberate about 120-130kw and will do you very nicely.
