A great American Ford Focus site is www.focaljet.com check out the turbo/forced induction section and see what folks are able to get out of the 2.0 Zetec and the new 2.3 Duratec. Other American Focus sites are www.myfordfocus.com and www.teamfocus.us

The best site I've found for the Golf/GTi is www.vwvortex.com and it's sister site for Audi A3 is www.audiworld.com

Ford escort ani't hot hatch..Hmm fast hot hatch backs.Well Suzuki Swift GTi thats a cheapy and pretty quick.You got your Golfs GTi and Civic Type Rs.The Nissan GTiR would be the king of all hatch backs.

Those cars you named are way too expensive for me.I`m looking for 1992-1994 cars.But thanks anyway.
To Kangaroo boy:why escort isn`t a hot hatch(i`m thinking about 1991-1996)

okay..I thought you where talking about Rs2000 back in the late 70s.But cheap Hot hatchbacks..Well you can't go pass the little Suzuki swift GTi.The 1.3 twin cam engine is little ripper.And they handle kinda like a mini..I used to own something like it.Great fun to throw around corners.Price for a second hand Suzuki Swift GTi from the early 90s(90-94) coss around about 7 grand Australian..

I think you have to go back to the old school style of light cars and great handling - the 205 Gti and Mk1 Golf GTI are some of the best driver's cars about, and you can pick them up for peanuts..
