The RS is now complete (I think) the final installment, Compomotive MO's with Toyo R888 tyres

Complete specification is now :-

H&R Springs
AP 6 pots Front
Grooved discs front and rear
Ferodo Pads all round
Mongoose Exhaust with Decat
Graham Goode Racing Carbon Cold Air Induction System
Bailey header tank
Vibratechnics Link Mount
Compomotive MO Alloys
Toyo R888 Tyres
SCC 385 Bluefin
Pro Alloy Intercooler
SCC 550cc Injectors

and that's it although a GT30 would make things a bit spicey LOL!

Are the Compo's that much lighter than the stock rims?

And how do the AP brakes compare to stock?

random plastic was put there by Ford not me, never really considered it before LOL!

no idea on the wheel weights I would guess with the extra width and larger side walls as the MO's are 18" wheels and the stock rims are 19" I would think there's little difference.

the stock brakes are to be honest excellent, there off the volvo xc90 i believe, however the ap's as you would expect are exceptional.

Is that a tad optimistic or dyno proven (on another/similar car) ?

Good God that is SEXUAL! Brakes are awesome too mate - was that a DIY job or was the colour detail in the text a specific request with AP at the time of ordering??

the power is based on the original dyno runs done by superchips on their SCC Performance stage 3 map the same car with a few thousand extra miles has done just over 400hp but I believe Rob prefers to quote a figure that's more often than not achievable rather than simply number chasing. I also know of one other car running the same spec that recorded 389bhp so I think the figure is about right.

no camber adjustment as far as I am aware, the geometry of the car was setup by Graham Goode Racing when I had my H&R springs fitted.

Brilliant work, apart from the wheels but that's just my opinion as i really like multi-spokes.

Compomotive MO's + those brakes = awesome.

A damn nice car and some choice mods. I bet it's a friggin' beast to drive. I very much like.
