Your car must torquesteer like mad with 300bhp.

not much TBH, i was expecting it to but its not a problem, obv it has more than when it was standard but nothing to be worried about, same with traction, still goes very well!

Nice car anyways, especially in blue

Yeah - had the pleasure of testing a new Focus ST with Auto Express magazine at Bruntingthorpe and was amazed at how good a car it was. What struck me was the smoothness of the power delivery considering it was turbocharged (although i am used to the slightly more brutal delivery of a saab c900 Turbo ). Very fast and stable - i can only imagine what yours muct be like with 300bhp. Sounds silly but i was also shocked and dissapointed with ford for making the boot so much smaller than the standard focus - something i think will shock many who buy the 5 door expecting a practical car.

yeah the boot space is RUBBISH compared to the normal focus, as is the fuel tank capacity but on the whole its worth the sacrifice!

I drove the focus sanitary towel the other day, its got some awesome brakes some trick gadget that comes in when you stand on them, feels like its pulling you back from the rear rather than standing on its end.

was impressed

Nice focus! I have a Fiat coupe and the engine note is near identical

Hehe, it actually says ASBO on the back!

That intercooler is a bit bigger, but just from a quick glance is it a good one? Them end tank take-off pipes look a bit iffy anyhow

Still 300bhp, not bad at all for a Focus!
