Focus RS - Feature Car (FOR SALE)

[Cochyn]

Those who know me well, know how much this car means to me and what it represents. So its a very reluctant sale, but bigger and better things are on the cards and I need to fund a new project.

46k on the clock, no rebuilds, maintained regardless of cost and time; I believe the exact words by Neil @ FF on feature day was "you've managed to polish out the orange peel" Full feature in FastFord May 2009 and FastFord Thrash feature June 2009 (car is on the free poster too) if you want further details.

Refurbed rear brakes, took appart, repainted etc. Waxoyl'd on vital sections under the arches etc. Also had both quarters painted the day before Central Day, mainly down to my OCD....world's smallest stone chips, but I knew they were there. Then fitted new extended armourfend to the rear wings.









My custom intercooler, results are similar to popular air2air choices despite running with a smaller intercooler. Did not test the ACT's on a long stretch (forgot when at Brunters ).

I'd get that broken off side headlight fixed first though if I were you!

I'm not usually that interested in hot hatches, but I must say, that looks very nicely done. I'll mention it to a couple of mates that might be interested.

Is the car road legal with one headlight?

Your getting rid mate??? New project planned?

She's now priced at 12k with everything on it! That's stupid, but my new mega project forces a very quick sale.

Headlamp pod is for track use
