Focus RS

[foRSter]

Hi people,

Bought my RS about 2 months ago. 33K miles, very good condition since the previous owner used it for concourse. Was featured in Fast Ford as a buyers guide car. Plans include k&n gen 2, miltek is getting fitted this week. Uprated organic clutch put in a month ago. Roose hoses put in a couple of days ago. Piccys can be found here:

Enjoy.

Looks lovely.

I had an organic clutch in my Fiesta when they first hit the market, it was crap and couldn't handle the power so they changed it out for an AP paddle clutch.

I guess they are better now?

well unfortunately the clutch went after 6 weeks of me having mine. a friend has the 6 paddle in his RS and I don't like it. yeah it's got bit of extra launch but you need legs of steel to be able to change gear! the uprated organic is good enough. better than the standard one. i don't expect to be taking her over (or much over) 300 anyway so will do just fine. Don't fancy te idea of a paddle chewing my brand new spanking flywheel either!

i love it. makes me smile every weekend. dont really drive her during the week as I've got a works van. the interior may not be cracking, well the seats are comfy enough, but the dash is a bit Ford-ish. she really shines on the B-roads going up to the dales. pure heaven.

Hi Paul,

Good luck finding a car, unfortunately mine is not for sale, if that's what you were getting at?! If you are looking for a well looked after RS, have a look on the RS owners club website. I got mine from there and there a few very nice one's up for sale.
