Focus RS

[Waitey]

Couldn't disagree more with the colour thing RM, but I am a blue fan!

After the colour your dad got that R8 in its safe to say you have the no taste gene too!

That I can't understand either, but I have come around to it. Not colour I would choose though.

30mpg is for GHEYS!!! Sub 20's is where it's at.

FLOL! :lolup:

He's not your real dad anyway. He lives in Epping.

 

[Munson]

You running it in like a man? I hope you are

Yeah of course. I'm not really running it in at all. Get it nice and hot and then no restrictions as far as I'm concerned. Obviously I'm not bouncing off the limiter all day though.

Yeah colours are a personal thing.

 

[Moby]

Love ya! Has a good blast with B@llsie in his old boys!

Pics or it didn't happen!

...

Love the road signs too btw - couldn't have timed it better!

 

[Ali]

I'm sure there was a speed camera van just over that brow!

The RS was rather light in the arse on the brakes!!!! Eh Alan!

 

[JD]

Was going to mention the signs, great timing lol.

 

[Justin]

LOL @ that pic! Blue is my favourite colour.. I think

 

[David]

looks awesome, especially in white imo

For a relatively heavy car it feels very light to drive and even lighter under heavy braking!!! :lolup:

I've just been able to confirm that you can indeed lower the chairs. I will be doing this sooner rather than later. Hopefully that should clear up my only small gripe with the car.

Do tell ...

 

[Munson]

The chairs are bolted in through a set of slots, but there are 3 slots. Undo the back two bolts and drop it down, then do the same for the front two.

Apparently. I don't have the car in front of me right now but I'll check next time I'm in it.

If he'd waited much long it woulda been a speck in the distance :rasp:

I'll have a look at that tomorrow. I thought you'd need new runners so this is a bonus.

 

[Munson]

Don't get too excited. I think you can only lower them by around 20mm, but that should be enough for me. It's really no higher a driving position than the 182 really. It is the weakest aspect of the car though. Thankfully it can be addressed quite easily.

 

[Darren S]

Not sure but LP1 provides everything I want. Right down to voice control for climate etc. Just tell it what temperature you want lol. Auto everything. Upsettingly, there's no option at all for cruise/speed limiter with the RS. That's all I would miss. Even my 182Cup had that.

That really does sound surprising why Ford would omit that? There must be a specific reason - as I can see it being a capable motorway cruiser as well?

Still, there's no doubting its epicness. Looks the shizzle for sure. Awesome purchase, Royston! :approve:

D.

 

[makavelli]

Stunning motor :approve:

a jammy 20 year old near me has had one bought for him by his parents in the same colour and spec he's had the 370 conversion done and been through his first set of tyres in 5 weeks lol

 

[.GAZ.]

Green FTW!

 

[Seedy172]

Beautiful!!

How did he insure it?

 

[Ali]

With his parents money?

anywho back on topic: Epic car fella

 

[Craig.D]

Roy maybe missed it cannot be bothered going through all the posts did u get any of the lux packs???

 

[Ribena]

Car looks brilliant! A cousin of mine has just bought a white RS, have yet to have a look at it.

 

[paul_h172]

Lux pack 1 iirc.

 

[R20 CWH]

very very tasty in white

 

[stuart1989]

Great car mate, looks so mean and ready to go!

 

[Munson]

Ja LP1.

 

[Clart]

tasty. I had one pass me doing 100+ the other day, looked and sounded the absolute tits.

 

[SBV116]

Immense! f**king immense!

 

[rctempire]

Looks great that.

Noticed a white RS in white in Busby of all places parked in a driveway, very odd.

 

[Ali]

Headlights are a niec colour btw! One let me out a junction earlier! Shocked, noone lets BM owners out!

 

[Munson]

A couple of pics from out on the road today. It just gets more epic with every mile. Such a fun car. The colour of the front wheels should be an indication of how much fun it is. Sensational hot hatch. Any spirited driving brings a massive smile to driver and passengers.

 

[Moby]

Brakes are good eh?

Steering is nothing short of sensational though.

 

[Ali]

CS's newest picture *****.

Yeah the brakes are very confidence inspiring but not over assisted. The steering is very very good. Quick, nicely weighted and not devoid of feedback.

CS's newest picture *****.

You love it. More will follow -x-

 

[Ian_182]

Nice dirty wheels...

 

[NORMY]

Roy, caught a glimpse of you today on the A6, you wouldnt have noticed me tho was in the landy!

She looked f'in beautiful mate... a beast! and definately the best colour!
