My Focus RS ...... WIP

[AndyBrew]

Had my RS for a couple of months now and absolutely loving it, it's not a daily car which means it comes out when its shiny and everytime is an occasion I really didn't think I'd ever find a car that made me smile like my escort cossie did but this does

Its currently got a mongoose cat back exhaust, HR Springs and K&N Filter and a Bluefin remap shortly to receive an AP brake upgrade a xmas present to myself!

There is a colour mismatch between plastic and metal which IMO is made better or worse depending on the light and angle with which it is viewed, either way I love it and wouldn't change it for anything .... well thats a lie if anybody wants a straight swap on a V12 Vantage I could be persuaded

Anyway a few pics: -

Oooo... looks nice. I love those black wheels with the tints and other black bits.

How much power does it make with the remap then?

[AndyBrew]

approx. 340hp / 400lbs I believe, still puts it all onto the road without any fuss

I gets a lot of stick, but i wouldn't mind one

Happy days then, bet its pretty nippy Not to slate you or the car or whoever though, don't you find it kind of annoying that for £X amount you can take it to a man with a laptop and what not and he can extract another 40 horses when Ford and co were talking this up to be the best of the best. It just grates me that's all. Like the car though, pass me the keys!

Looks very nice especially with the black wheels! At what state of tune was your old Escort Cosworth and how does it compare to the Focus?

[Shropshiremike]

How did it compare to the VXR8 Andy?

That is almost the most vulgar car I have seen.

Car's okay, but what the hell hunk of crap were those pictures taken on? I've never seen so much noise reduction! Obviously a fairly high resolution sensor, but completely worthless if the recorded resolution is only about a mega pixel after processing...

Anyways, back to the car...

the new rs is a good car and i am glad ford still produce cars like this, but my only problem is the Kermit green.

the rs to me are always blue.

[AyBee]

Love that

I think you may be in the wrong forum chum

Not feeling the tints at all but love the rest of the car. Ride height is perfect. I do love the new Focus RS.

i am sure these must be hoot to drive and would love a shot in one on the track but i cant help but think they belong on the cover of max power or fast car, especially in that colour. just think they went a bit over kill on the styling.

They are rather lairy, but since when were RSs not lairy?

Looks fantastic, I also thought it looked like a cover car off a magazine like Max Power but definitely one of the better ones!
