Or there is always the Mk1 Focus RS, lighter than the others and very easily moddified and cheap too, most running between the 280 - 320bhp mark and a quick turbo change can see anything from 330 - 380bhp, all this for £2.5k!
Suspension already there, Quaife already there, money buys you:
Bluefin
Full exhaust
Manifold
Induction kit
Actuator
AP 2 piece discs
Hybrid
Other than that, the ED30 is good, I know Ben on here (Vtec Abuser) and he mullered myself on the 30-130 day (albiet with more power) but as has been said, they all have there pro's and con's! :happy2:

Leon Cupra is the one to go for if you want the same chassis as the golf, but cheaper and with better brakes.
S3 is the one to go for if you want 4wd to give you the extra traction and nicer interior.
Focus RS is better than all 3 but pretty dear, and a remapped ed30, cupra etc will pass a Focus RS with pure ease.
Remapped cupra ed30 is also quicker than a evo fq 330 in a straightline.

my mate has had a focus now for about a month and imo a re mapped ed 30 will struggle to keep up let alone pass it with ease !!!!!! :scared:

Think you wanna get yours looked at then mate, two lads I know have one, and my revo cupra beats them pretty easy tbh, even 3 man up. They werent happy to say the least lol. This is all down a airfield though, so corners is another story. RS stays glued to the road.

my mates is a demo , he works for ford , he s a very good driver and it fu%*&ng flies its glued to the road (he says as good as 4 wd) . my ed 30 is fast dont get me wrong but with only stage 1 re map not as quick as the RS may be your mates RS needs a driver or looking at :driver:

Im sure working for ford he tries lots of 4wd cars to compare to :signLOL:
I wonder how 'as good as a 4wd' it is in the wet. Had a run against a mapped vxr and mini cooper s the other week and the vxr was faster from various speeds (mini was about equal), it then flash flooded (very heavy rain) an i just sailed past him as he span up. Im dying to meet an RS to see how it copes with english weather :evilgrin:

Mate honestly, its been already proven by a major publication that in a straight line a mountune mapped ST is quicker than the RS. A mapped k04 makes more power than the rs,and has more torque and is lighter in the first place. The RS cant beat a mapped k04 even with a second head start.
I have plenty of experience with the RS now, two different cars, two different drivers, always the same outcome.
