New member. Mk1 Focus RS owner..

[Kneller]

Hi there, I'm Josh and I'm 21 (22 tomorrow) from Essex.

I currently drive a Mk1 Focus RS running about 300bhp I've been browsing Pistonheads for years but never really bothered signing up!

I'm on a fair few forums so no doubt I'll probably recognise a few users!

Here are a couple of pics of my RS, I'll get a spec list up later..




Thanks for looking!

The owners of the non-blue ones are just too scared to 'go public'

Well, 4501 of them were when they left the factory...

I'd hazzard a guess at Benfleet, judging by the photo's.

What's the full spec to get it over 300?

It doesnt take much, would speculate an exhaust (probably with a manifold) filter remap & an actuator either controlled by a boost controller or direct at @ 22psi

I didn't ask what it takes to get it to 300 as I'm fully aware having had a MK1 FRS for the last 7 years, I asked what what was done to HIS car.

Very nice mate, hoping to get mine up to 300bhp in January will be interesting to see your spec to see if it will be enough

Wow, what a fellatio-mobile!

[Kneller]

Sorry for the late replies!

Mods are:

- GGR 4-1 tubular manifold
- Full Mongoose de-decat system (being changed next month for BCS Automotive 3" system)
- Forge actuator running 22psi direct
- K&N Gen II
- AE+ Tuna remap
- Uprated boost hoses

That's about it for power upgrades at the minute!

I'm from Benfleet as said above
