i know you can do a AWD swap on the focus RS strictly because they use that car in WRC. it would be nice if you can swap in a blown 5.4 to go with it.
Anyone who wants to have a fast drag racing car, then buy a Datsun 510. Do an AWD conversion, and RB26 swap. Get all the weight reduction you can get, a wide sticky tires, and you will be a contendor.
Call me a ricer, but I love the old school jap cars. The 510 looks bad *** lowered, on some black Fiskes, with that ugly old school brown paint.

I remember reading that someone had done an LS6 swap in an Aveo or something like that. Maybe that means you can swap the 5.4 into the Focus. That would be pretty cool I think. People swap V8s into Focus' all the time in real life, so I would figure you could in the game. Only about 5 more hours to get off work, and go home to see if its possible.

Me, Cragar, and BadassTAwS6 did some drag racing last night (1/4,1/2, and mile). We also did some roll racing on the benchmark ring. The Veyron couldn't come back on the 510 until 220+ mph from a 60 punch

Verdad Gallardo I just set the 510 up with a 2 speed trans (kind of like a powerglide,) and a 6.00 rear gear. I launch it at 8k, it spins a little and as soon as it hooks I floor it. I haven't spent much time tuning it but it's gone 8.77x so far.

Thats cookin boss. I havent touched the tune on mine so I only ran 10.18 but thats not having all the horsepower parts so it still has much room for improvement.
What seems to be awry is the 2-player mode in splitscreen...I wanted to race my kids this weekend and it seems the only way to play 2-player is over Xbox live.
haven't built one yet but you can do a AWD conversion and either a 500+ 4 cyl. or the 5.0 cammer motor. maybe tomorrow, so far i have a R34 running 9.3's and my bugatti is about get into the 8's and i haven't finished upgrading it yet.

You can actually upgrade that bastard??? I'm thinking maybe a all out awd porsche tt or maybe a reventon.
a few buddies and I got a Z06 with the small twin turbo setup, cams and suspension to go a 10.59 @ 144ish...think the car makes like 700ish or something like that.
there is def a fine line between bogging and blowing the tires out.
they also have a datsun that runs 9.00's

I also have an extra new copy if someone wants it. $55? (Houston area only)
Has anyone modded the rx7 yet? I wonder which motor makes the most power (2 rotor vs 3 rotor).
