Just joined thought id say hi, put a few pics up of my car.

[AJ-T]

[Allblackdup]

Looks a stunning example!

Love the lower lip spoiler too!

Gaz

[ZeeTacoe]

they are such bloody good looking cars. much better than the current ST

[gj88]

Ive always loved the wheels on these. Just something about them, they go with the car so perfectly! well done ford

[Martin_Hx]

Looks good !

[Jessop]

Looks great !

AP 4pots looks great behind those wheels too! =]

are AP's standard on the RS ?? :|

[darren9]

gorgeous ford really got it right when they made that car.

[flattotheboards]

Looks really good, these are best looking focus imo. Arent the uprated brakes quite a common upgrade?

[AJ-T]

The brakes are uprated from the standard brembo 4 pots. The APs are 6 pot brakes 355mm with ceramic pads, awesome brakes.

This sat will be the first time i have tracked the car with the new brakes so im hoping to really see what there made of.

Goodwoods a fast circuit so the should perform well.

Thanks for the comments though.

Absolutely love it!
Don't see that many about, and fewer still with the splitter.

Question!

I've noticed that the door handles on the Focus RS aren't colour-coded. Yet on the lesser models such as the ST170 and Ghia they are. Why is this?

Why is it fitted at all?

[KennyGT]

thats a smart motor, looks neat and mean, nice one

[AJ-T]

The reason for the door handles is ford over spent on every RS by 8k hence why in there eyes it was a flop!
so to try and save any money they could they didnt colour code the washer jets, door handels, areial etc.
Ive done the jets and will get round to the door handels.

As for the splitter mate, it makes the car look more squat, its carbon fibre which lets face it anything carbon looks cool, so i had to have it!
prob does make a difference at speed with downforce, i know the rear wing gives 35kg of downforce at 80mph.

Where did you get the information on the rear wing?
Carbon fibre is functional not aesthetic, the weave gives it strength and the carbon strands add to that strength.

Tell me about the car being more squat than any other Focus when you are running 20+ inch wheels and that gives the car a tip-toe appearance around corners. It looks like its wearing an evening gown with high heels on, not a running shoe.

+1

thats a very nice, sorted looking example!

[AJ-T]

Mate im not gonna get into another argument with another pistonheader, last time i nearly got banned, cause i upset a TVR man.

Just accept that the carbon splitter is there cause i bought and paid for it and i like it, i dont have to justify its exsistence.

Your obviously looking for a bun fight and unfortunately for you im not gonna rise to it.
