The 2004 FOCUS WAGON SEMA CONVERSION
This wagon began as an early 2004 Focus SE with the new 2.3L Cosworth Ford Duratec 4 Cylinder aluminum engine. Jeff Biane decided to customize this car for the 2004 SEMA show with the help of Ford and a several sponsors. The purpose was to showcase the Cosworth and Ford SVT parts unique to the Ford Focus. The result is a one of a kind vehicle that could have rolled off the Ford assembly line with specialty parts from SVT and Cosworth. The wagon was completely disassembled including removing all the glass, doors and interior. The body was painted Competition Orange. A new interior was created with unique seat covering, door, dash and roof panels, and new carpeting. Exterior panels include Focus SVT front fascia with Euro grill. Euro ST 170 SVT headlights light the way. The rear fascia was fabricated from a Focus SVT center panel and extended to fit the wagon. Side rocker panels, trim and doors handles were modified and painted the body color. Ford Euro 17 x 7" Dark Argent SVT wheels were added. The Cosworth Stage 3 engine upgrade includes the unique Cosworth intake manifold, large tube exhaust header and high lift intake and exhaust cams assembled on a custom ported DOHC cylinder head. The ECU was re-flashed to take advantage of the improved breathing capacity of the engine. The 2.5" exhaust has an SVT center exhaust outlet. Dyno tested at 205 HP at the wheels. There is a small rear main seal oil leak. The 5 speed was rebuilt at ~35k miles with new bearings and synchros. The 3.42 final drive differential gears have been replaced with a 4.06 set and a Torsen torque biasing differential was added. An aluminum flywheel and Ford Centerforce clutch were also installed at time of rebuild. The chassis has upgraded KW springs, shocks, front struts and larger rear anti-roll bar which combine to provide excellent handling. BAER Racing 13.5", 4 piston caliper front brakes and SVT Focus rear disks provide great stopping power. The unique Cosworth NA engine and transmission upgrades far exceed the SVT Focus and created a uniquely special vehicle. This car has trophied at every car show event I have entered. It has never seen snow and looks like new. Modified drive train is still docile on the street. Quick for a 4 banger. 0 - 60 under 7 seconds. Shipping is available to US or European at buyers additional cost. Any taxes, import duties or fees are exclusively the buyers responsibility. We have arranged many previous vehicle shipments, including international and overseas, over the past several years. |

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
