Oh right, I thought that the engine numbers would be different as the original engine is not longer in place.

No mention of the replacement engine!

How much is the trader advertising the FRS for?

Would you ever own another Ford?

No it doesn’t but to be fair to Mark I’d not tolerate any additional issues post new engine. Having to put up with a new engine in a new car is more than enough pain for one to go through.

Great game but I can’t say it’s any different to 3?

As if they can afford a 34k car/

None, that’s standard kit.

I think they look awesome, especially in grey.

Trade it in for some Jap reliability. The FK8 CTR has your name all over it. I could just see you in one. By all accounts it’s a better car anyway. ;)

Looks a nice, genuine car. Stop talking and start buying lol.

Are you buying the white one?

What’s your budget?

FN2s are now cheaper I think.

Whats the replacement?

Didn’t know you had an MPS. What didn’t you like about it? Completely different drive to the CTR? I looked at them while looking at my civic. I love my CTR. Currently in for a new rear Perspex window. I won’t disclose the cost of the parts [emoji15]

No idea what the latest gen is like but Fords have always been one of the worst manufacturers for tin worm...Focus mk1 was appalling as were fiestas and escorts of old. Shocking.

All over the show apparently. https://www.focusrsoc.com/forums/topic/170410-dreaded-arch-rust/

Yep! Mainly round the arches but possibly in other places too. Every forecourt car I’ve seen showed signs. I think joepep off here had a white one a few years back and his was rusty too (there was a thread on the car and his troubles).

And the rust.

How much did he pay? I can imagine your car won’t be a cheap fix.

I’ve been out in one of those in the US. Sound ridiculous.

Definitely. Bold claim but other than the NSX it’s the best car Honda have ever made. Especially if you’re a VTEC fanboi.

RWD is so much more rewarding. Arguably not as quick A-B as you have to take it slightly easier on throttle but much more enjoyable

The S2000 has a module that protects the gearbox if you (accidentally) borderline flat shift. If makes the clutch slip, very strange sensation and catches you by surprise if you’re thrashing the tits off it.

Yes, when it’s cold it’s very jumpy. Smooths out once warm though. Presume it’s something to do with the choke. It does tend to track but I presume that’s more down to the hard suspension rather than the torque...because there is none lol. Mines not too bad though and my LCR was worse. May be...

Lol eyeshadow they are quite. Sound ok when on the boil though. Apparently a vast improvement over the sound of an EP3

Is it really loud and droney? Can you hear it when driving round normally? What’s it like on startup?

Going back to standard?

Excellent! If its the seal it should only be a couple of quid.
