2003 Focus RS Mk1 #0540

[Kneller]

Hi there, just thought I'd stick up a few pictures of my Mk1 Focus RS. It's running 327.3bhp and 404.9lb/ft (548Nm) at the minute. A list of modifications can be put up if requested.

The side window stickers are going to be removed at the weekend, along with the Opie Oils stickers, which I feel just look a bit too cluttered.

Comments on both the car and pictures are welcomed!




Thanks

Josh

That's just stunning.

Nice. But I like RS's so am biased.
IMO I would remove the opie stickers like you said and try and find some RS wheel centre caps to finish it off.
Apart from that it is lovely.
But it's your car to do what you want with.
Ps. That's a very healthy torque figure.

Looks a Beauty
What mods

Much prefer these to the new focus rs cars.

I think the new ones look ridiculous.

These look much more subtle, lovely looking car you have and looks like it's in good condition.

Thanks for the comments!

Centre caps are also going to be changed, they were on the car when the wheels were black and I just haven't had a chance to change them yet..

Very nice.

Almost 330bhp on the standard turbo? I presumed that for that kind of power you'd a hybrid or an out-and-out Garret GT swap or something of that ilk.
Really like these cars, would seriously consider one as my next motor.

I like these a lot! I keep being tempted to buy one to run alongside the GTA

Fantastic, love that

Yep, on standard turbo it's currently one of the highest powered mk1 RS' still running the standard turbo!

It's all in how it's been set up really and knowing what mods will complement each other

Thanks for all of the comments!
