What do you think to this? Ford Focus RS

[Jimmy No Hands]

Oh wow. Love the wheels, hate the stickers. Love the noise and the pops. Focus RS' aren't subtle, but thats the whole point of them. LOOK AT ME, MOVE OVER FAMILY WAGON, POPPOPOPOPOPOP...

[AGK]

Nice.

[JackTheLaddddd]

I think this belongs in the thread about cars with road presence

[Vladikar]

Love it, I have the Frozen White version with a few modifications.

I think it would be a favourite of mine if he got rid of the green rim, those alloys are fantastic mind.

Whats the engine spec?

[Dave_ITR]

I like the colour but that's about it.

If its REVO, then I assume the following perhaps? Correct me if I'm wrong!
- Uprated Plenum (OEM ones have a habit of dying)
- Uprated intercooler, from pictures it looks like Pro Alloy
- GGR Air filter
- Milltek Exhaust (Probably Decat)
- Uprated SCC Bosch injectors (standard max out at around 360bhp I believe)
- Stage 3 or 4 Remap

All in all, it is likely to take this car to somewhere in the region of 380-400bhp, accompanied with the K-Sport stopping power brake conversion with discs, this car is built to go - I love it and want a similar package for mine.

Looks great. Always fancied a go in one of these, or a passenger ride. What are they like to drive?

Almost buddy! Just got my account sorted so can post now. . Spec is as follows:
550cc injectors
Revo 400s conversion
SCC oil cooler kit
SCC spec high flow fuel pump
Pro alloy breather kit
Pro alloy induction kit
Pro alloy FMIC
Pro alloy radiator
Pro alloy header tank
Turbo back milltek exhaust with decat
Powerflex lower torque mount
Denso spark plugs
Sitech V2.1 inlet manifold
Black SFS boost hoses
Ksport 8 pot brakes (front) with yellow stuff pads
EBC grooved discs and yellow stuff pads (rear)
H&R springs
Rear anti roll brace
19" rota grid wheels

Unfortunately the standard clutch is slipping under hard accelleration so this will be replaced with a helix 6 paddle clutch and single mass flywheel in the next few months.

Thanks for the comments so far

I love the green ring round the wheels.. Get your friend to join up!

Me too, I've seen that before and it looks great.

I can never get my UG that deep shiny, it looks lovely.

Nearly there!

Nice stuff mate, the car looks in brilliant condition, where did you get your steering wheel done? I need a private plate in my life, my name is Dan too so keep an eye out for me!

Thanks bud steering wheel had already been re-trimmed when I purchased the car so not sure on that one. I'm sure the detailing world forum would be able to point you in the right direction for that type of work though.
Don't know what car you have but there's currently a plate for sale in the classifields section of www.focusrsoc.com RS60 DAN for £600, which would be perfect if you have an RS also!
Mine was a gift from a family member otherwise I'd be selling mine and having that plate

[Vladikar]

Yes I saw that one being advertised you know! Unfortunately I have a '59 plate otherwise I would have snapped it up too!

Gorgeous looking car, are you over on focusrsoc?

[dean350z]

I do love the RS but on this particular one I'm really not a fan of the green rim and stickers, just a bit too 'youth' for me, kind of over kill on an already in your face car....I do love the ultimate green though.

Think that seems to be the general consensus. . no rim tape, stickers or mud flaps haha

[dean350z]

I meant to say, green rim aside, I love the rotas, I've got them on my 350z, comps would look great on the RS too....I'm off to the classifieds.

[paulw123]

Car looks stunning. Love the wheels and stickers too.

I like it, but its nearing being a bit OTT for me with things like the wind deflectors, rim tape, stickers, headlight film and mud flaps.
