Thought I would post a few pics of my new toy, a Focus RS. I'd promised myself one since they came out, but could only afford an ST170 at the time. To say the 2 cars are different is the understatement of the year!! Collected her on Monday and havnt stopped grinning since. Torque steer is nowhere near as bad as described in some reviews, in fact its part of the fun. Its standard apart from a Miltek exhaust and sports cat (which sound superb!). Here's a few pics -

Rather good fun aren't they? I've had mine for 3 1/2 years now and it still makes me smile pretty much every time I drive it.

Enjoy!! smile

Not many cars look this great standard.
Id keep it lookin just the way it is.
Does'nt even need lowering n there's even less cars you can say that about.
Looks very purposeful (is that a real word?).
cool

Of course it's a real word. Doh.

Oh, and don't even think about painting the wheels black.

Why would ya wont to paint the alloys black.
Buy a set of standard steels, then when ya felt in a black wheel mood just swap them over.
Best! of both worlds thenwoohoo

really like the focus RS, agree with whoever said that the current ST isnt as nice

i've got no right to critcise your car, but i dont like the interiors of focii anyway, but the blue bits dont do it any favours... i guess thats as standard, just my opinion...

... id have one in an instant if i could afford it biggrin

last of the RS cars cool

Congrats on the purchase of the FRS bud - i've got one myself which is highly tuned & a bit special wink The FRS is a great car and if modding is your thing there are loads of good items & reputable tuners around - or if you like keeping it pretty much standard nothing wrong with that either as its still a cracking car biggrin

If you havnt done already mate check out http://bbs.rsownersclub.co.uk and register on the forum - the FRS section is the busiest section there and full of loads of useful FRS info, etc biggrin
