Focus RS

[Munson]

Yeah I've read that. Rumour has it that high octane petrol is needed for book figures? I don't know. It's certainly not slow

 

[Paul.]

Black rims would be epic on a white FRS. I doubt I'll do it though. Standard FTW.

i better not post a pic up then cause you WILL want them done lol

 

[Louism]

2 years and i will have one

 

[Munson]

Do it.

Pics.

 

[paul_h172]

Good choice Roy, really like the FRS. Be interesting to see how long the front boots last with that power.

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Wow thats stunning!

 

[Tom]

As i said to you almost 6 months ago now via PM, its rubbish.

Having driven one a few times, its possibly the worst car ever. Second only to a F355 i drove once.

 

[Mr Burns]

Nice upgrade there, Munson

Sarcasm much?

 

[Tom]

Check out the newest member of MENSA. You Rock.

 

[Munson]

Tom is like a woman. Literally everything he says has the opposite meaning. He invented sarcasm IIRC.

 

[JD]

Well you call pretty much everything s**t, Tom. So it can be hard to decipher when you are being serious, or when you are just being an intolerable t**t.

Guessed as much.

Sadly its far simpler with you old chap.

 

[mace¬]

Really like it Roy, looks stunning in white, what kind of price are consumables on it like brakes and tyres?

 

[planetx]

Roy you are a Bar steward
Stunning, keep it clean!!!

 

[Louism]

59 plates are on auto trader for 25k which is wicked ;P

 

[Brett]

Looks superb Roy. Lovely interior, proper RS looks and plenty of go. They have so much road presence. Shame about the cruise, i'd be pretty upset about that tbh.

 

[Jamie]

Looks very nice. You reckon you'll get 25mpg plus after novelty wears off? That's more than a 200/197!

 

[JD]

True young man, true. Time to get back to Radio 2.

Tyres should be around £200 fitted. Brakes are no big deal as they're basically Ford SUV items. Discs are around £180 and pads will be no more expensive than any other car.

£200 all 4??

 

[JD]

200 per tyre? What are fitted as standard?

 

[MattT]

Really nice that! I'd be torn though, white or performance Blue!

 

[Munson]

£200 all 4??

lol

200 per tyre? What are fitted as standard?

£200 max I would have thought, fitted. They're Continental Sport Contact 3 235/35/19

 

[Mike_182]

Aye, looks like £200 a tyre.

Does that make much difference in terms of ride comfort, being 35 profile? Uncles 3 series has 35 tyres and it's bloody uncomfortable (yes BMs are harsh anyway, but that can't help).

The low speed ride is very firm indeed, borderline uncomfortable at times, but the damping is excellent and the car feels so well nailed together that it's never crashy. At national speeds it's better than my Clio. It seems to glide over some surfaces near me where I know the bean was fidgety and rough. That said, the bean was on original dampers, albeit not leaking ones.

 

[Bubbles]

Yummy! followed a Lime green one the other night, nom nom nom

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

lol

:rasp:

I imagine it turns a few heads? whats the cabin noise like when nailing it. i know it's slightly differnt but the 5 cylinter in our volvo sounds lovely from inside the cabin, i can only imagine the RS is sex.

Yes it does attract quite a bit of attention, which is a shame in some ways but certainly flatters the go a little bit.

The noise it makes is pure class. Chris Harris summed it up well by describing it as sounding expensive.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

sounding expensive.

Thats exactly what you'd expect.

Anyway, great choice. However too many driver aides therefore a Clio Williams is probably the better car.

 

[Munson]

Nothing will ever be better than a Clio Williams.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

/driving god.

Out of interest, do they spesifically suggest 98 ron on the RS?

 

[Munson]

I'm not sure TBH but it's getting it.

 

[alex-avfc]

Just buy a car the missus dislikes, boys. Mine won't get in mine, let alone drive it as she hates the colour.

Good advice. My mrs would also be having words if I had a red car, Trophy next maybe :evil:

Roy that looks stunning, great upgrade.

 

[JD]

All in all, a good choice.

Couldn't live with it's garrish looks everyday, but fun factor, oh yes!

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

the rear discs and pads are usual ford parts bin stuff but im 99% sure the front pads are just focus rs. i know it was a struggle getting some 2-3months back.

absolutly fantastic cars tho, few minor changes transform the way they drive and make them so much more fun

 

[Poopensharten]

lol , worth it though to hear that noise:evil: Loved the sound of alans when he took me a spin. Would you consider having the alloys in Gloss Black?? Theres a white one same as yours up here with them done and it looks fantastic!! Has the plate RS 09 OFF

Drives it like a f**king hero aswell mate.

Hes an industrial chemist IIRC
