I just went out and attempted to sit in the back seat. Yeah, it's tight back there if the front seats are back much at all. Seat is comfortable but back seat room isn't great in the leg area.
Thanks for the tip compliment. It was a great find by Jarrod, I like it better than the single too.

What would it take to convert the car from FWD to AWD? How many major drivetrain components would be needed and what kind of engineering challenges would one encounter?
Could you use familiarity with the Evo's drivetrain to engineer a similar setup in the Focus?

I'm no engineer but the car is built on a dedicated FWD platform - there's no room for a transfer case, driveshaft, rear diff, etc. and there's no existing car to pull parts from. I imagine the only way to do it is to build a car from scratch which is what they do for Focus rally cars.

I didn't know Buschur was working on the Focus. It's a nice platform.
I'm still a little angry at Ford, I feel like the U.S. got cheated out of the Focus RS.
Anyway, I was happy to find this thread, and will be watching closely.

If there would be any advantages, would an aftermarket ECU be necessary?

Got my Focus ST in late December... and I love this freakin' car! Can't put the power down decently on dry asphalt though... imagine on snowy roads! TC FTW! LOL
I didn't know Bushur was working on parts for the ST. This is great news! I am really tempted by that filter... but would like the air box cover I see on the pictures too. It doesn't seem to be for sale... am I mistaken??? Or maybe I just don't understand what I'm seeing? Some detailed pics would help if it's not too much to ask...
