Been on Pistonheads a while now so thought about time i post on hear smile

My Focus Rs, had it for 4 year now which is longer than any other car i have owned, its been a fantastic car for the last 50 thousand miles thumbup



ive carried out a few mods since ive had it & when it was last on the rollers it made 285bhp @surry rolling rd but since then the boost has been upped with a new actuator & a tubaler manifold has been added smile

rather dirty engine bay laugh


I did a 13.6 1/4 mile & clocked 149.6 mph on a standing mile in march so hoping to crack 150mph now i have the manifold smile

Showing its Ph smiley biggrin


At Surrey rolling rd

That engine sure looks like it's done 50k wink , I'm sure she wouldnt mind a bit of tlc!

I love the FRS, and would have loved to have kept mine a little longer.

Went on a driving out on Sunday to Sevenoaks

Also managed to fit my Blueflame flexi exhaust section today which with a 70mm diameter should free up a couple more horses biggrin

yes

One of the best cars I've owned. The best compliment I can pay it, is that it drove like a front wheel drive Elise, but was a helluva lot quicker.
