Focus rs (mk1)

[chris_p]

My mate has just bought one, he's only 19!

I was curious to what these map to? I know they're quick as standard, but surely a remap would make it a real weapon...

I'm going to have a little drive next week with any luck, may compare it to my cup (it will pish all over it mind!).
I was (still might be) going to get a tt and map that to around 270, lets see if this can convince me otherwise.

Final question, he's a member on here, what splitter is this? It's the sex.

 

[minismithy90]

how much insurance does he pay?

1800 in his own name with one claim against him, I wouldn't pay that much, but that's not a bad deal tbh.

Cheers pal, any more photos of said splitter? It really gives the front that extra agression needed imo.

He's keeping it pretty standard though, splitter, de tango the rear lights and a remap would do it probably

Bst looking hot hatch alongside the V6 imo.

Awesome looking car.

They come in CF or just Black

Using one of our custom maps you can see 265bhp on a std car.

with exhaust and air filter you can see 285-290bhp.

very caperble cars really.

290bhp would be epic....that's 230bhp/ton....that's more than an M3!

£1800 qiud thats good. am 18 and am paying £2400 for a 1.2 corsa

Sorely tempted by one of these as a next car. Just not comfortable shelling out £10k for a car that's 7yrs old when I can get a much younger meg/focus ST for similar money

that would always be in my head too, and that's what I told him before buying it. Although I can see his point, this should hold its value very well, but I can't help but feel they will fall in value soon

 

[Jay Payne]

Wont depreciation (sp) very fast imo. Ford RS stuff tends not too (Well the turbo'd stuff andyway)

I like them alot

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

they took a hit in prices when the mk2 came out, seem to have leveled off now tho.

they are expencive, but they do come well equiped.

They will fall, but nowhere near as fast as a Megane. Ford RS stuff just gets dearer and dearer. A mate of mine has just sold a completely standard Escort Cosworth with 120k on the clock for £14k.

p**n... and only 19.. i wish i could drive that

 

[ForceIndia]

They look great on the road. Bags of presence.

 

[trile]

HOT!

Do you live in Baghdad? Is the car gold plated? :/

 

[Justin]

There is a 410bhp one near my street. Monstered me in my old 172 lol

 

[.GAZ.]

I sh1t FRS's TBH

 

[Munson]

Fantastic looking cars. iAren't sure I could live with the interior, though

 

[Muttley1]

What sort of fuel consumption do you get? Can't be great!

 

[minismithy90]

they are nice cars but woundnt the ST170 focus be better to use in everyday situations?

why?

ST170 is a pish car, it needs thrashin just to make it go anywhere.

Focus RS has a turbo so nice power throughout the rev range, fuel consumption shouldn't be too bad in STD form, might improve with a map.

 

[R20 CWH]

love the RSs, think it looks better than the current ST shite!

blue paint looks superb as well

 

[Ridahz]

Fantastic cars, proper head turner, if only i had 10k spare :dapprove:

 

[minismithy90]

The ST 170 has a nicer interior thats just my opinion thou but the RS is a better car.

Shame it's been on axle stands for last few months, clutch fail!

Sounds like a 182 Clio to me.
