It was either the RS or an Evo V11/V111 but I just dont think I would want to stomach the running costs! Service interval every 4000 miles, sickening!
The FQ 300 I tried last week was awesome though, just so fast from point to point it was untrue, and that was in the wet!
Ive just traded my 172 for one, I pick it up on Wednesday so Ill let you know the verdict then! Didnt feel a lot faster on the road test but to be fair it was raining! Looks the part though.
Hardest thing will be saying goodbye to my clio, its been such a fantastic car, the focus has a lot...
My bro will be selling his 03 Black Type R next week for around the 14000 mark, its done 16,000, if nayones interested PM me!
Oh, and in terms of acceleration it trounces my 172!
I love the Focus RS (even though Ive never actually driven one) and am seriously considering trading my 172 in? As I havent actually driven one I wondered if anyone on here had and what their thoughts might be. My 172 was one year old yesterday and has 15,000 on the clock!
Cheers
Going to go nick my brothers CTR and see exactly what it will do in 2nd!
Racing him the other day in my 172 (wet conditions) the 172 pulled away nicely upto 60 as a result of better traction, then the CTR started to pull away after about 70. Its a nice car to drive!
Yes you can get Mobil 1 in 0w40w as I put it in my car at the last service. In my opinion its the best oil you can use, it heats up really fast as its so thin at cold weight and the car never seems to judeer when cold as it did previously with the original oil.
You will need 5litres, but...
Take a closer look it actually looks a lot lower to me considering its only 30mm and it ahsnt settled yet. Look at the skirt on the first pic and then on the second, theres hardly any slope now, looks lots better!
Its 195 not 194 and it wouldnt affect the gearing as that number denotes the width of the tire.
What you need is a lower profile tire not a narrower one, instead of 40 profile you need 35, e.g. 205/35/17 in effect you will have the same diamater wheel and tire combo as the 195/45/16 you had...
