In a word...No! ;)
Fancy a swap? I fancy something orange next ;)
It feels a lot lighter for sure! It feels faster too. Its more fun to drive.
Having said that you can't beat the V6 sound of the R32 and the interior.
I would happily take the R32 over the Focus I'm afraid...
No plans for it, just keeping it standard
Indeed it has! :cool:
Front lights I assume?
The wheels were sprayed by a previous owner shadow chrome. I think they look better than standard to be honest.
I used to have a 182 in artic blue indeed, but I've had an R32 and Civic Type-R since then
Compared to the 182 its quite different, obviously being a turbo the delivery is different.
Handling on both cars is very good.
Haha! No pressed plates on this barge, sir! :)
The mk2 weighs 1464 kgs and the mk1 weighs 1278 kg having said that the official time for the mk1 0-60 is 6.2 I believe. 5.9 is something that EVO said.
Thanks :)
Loving every minute of it so far, never had a turbo'd car before so even more so.
The surge of power in 3rd and 4th gear makes you feel like the car has more than 212 bhp.
And the handling with the diff at the front is great.
Got to be careful in the wet though as I have Yokohama...
I would prefer the fifth gear just as a cruise gear if nothing more.
Agree, 3rd and 4th definitely have some pull.
Torque is limited in 1st and 2nd on these things as well.
Thanks for all the positive comments peeps :)
Its a great car to drive, still loving every minute of it.
I gave the interior a clean on the weekend and it ain't to bad once its been hoovered etc.
Drum roll please...
Da Da...
Sorry for the crap photos.
Previous hot hatches I've owned have been...
Really enjoying it at the moment, its feels like the fastest car I have owned to date.
Shame about the dated interior but I knew that when I bought it.
Its...
Looks good!
I had a cosmic grey 04 plate up to two weeks ago, sold it and bought a Focus RS instead.
Good cars but just not special enough for my liking.
Had the RS for a day now and I am loving it! Loving exterior, especially those OZ wheels with the 4 pot brakes.
Never had a turbocharged car before and it feels rapid, even though it only has 212 bhp.
I'll post some photos over the weekend once its had a clean.
I suppose the only let down is...
Thanks :)
It has the pink throttle cable and the wording around the starter button but I don't think it has the revised stitched seat bases. The seat looks in good nick though.
I've also been told the private plate that comes with it is worth £500 - £750
