JCC's FRS



So after roughly a year since I first started looking at them, telling anybody who'd listen I badly wanted one, I finally have the car I've been after all this time.

Finding one in good condition with sensible mileage and decent spec up here (Central Scotland) that was reasonably priced was starting to seem impossible, so I decided to extend my search down South.

After exchanging a few emails and phone calls, I got up at 4:30am last Sunday and made the 5 hour drive to Nottingham to pick up my new car.

First off, the last time I'd see my ST, was an awesome car over the 2 years I had it. Had lots of fun in this thing!

And two crappy iPhone pics of the car which replaced it, a MK2 FRS in Ultimate Green :D

It is, on paper at least, one of the best examples I could have asked for. Lux 1, Bluetooth, 20k on the clock with full Ford history and 12 months MOT.

It won't be remaining standard for long, as this weekend I shall be fitting these goodies:

I am aware the colour won't be to everyone's tastes, but I absolutely love my ridiculous green ned mobile with ridiculous green seats <3.

Exhaust videos required once fitted.

I know it's more powerful but is it a lot different to the ST?

Re: Finally.

Best colour for them imo.

It's a loud obnoxious car, it needs to be in a loud obnoxious colour!

There shall indeed be videos!

It is very different to the ST to drive. Everything is tighter, sharper and more focused, brakes, steering, throttle response.The LSD makes a huge difference in terms of grip out of roundabouts etc. Not that the ST is a bad car, just that the RS makes it feel more of a cruiser in comparison.

Best colour for them imo.

It's a loud obnoxious car, it needs to be in a loud obnoxious colour!

99% agree with this.

Properly love them in the dark blue though :eek:

Good work JCC. :cheers:

Cheers, I agree, no point trying to be subtle in a car which looks like something I'd doodled in my maths jotter in high school!

Got it from Parkway Specialist Cars in Mansfield on Nottingham road, a LOT of nice cars in there!

Re: Finally.

Haha thought that's where I had seen it. I bought my Z4M from those guys :)
 
Re: Finally.

LSD can be one hell of a party piece in an otherwise 'normal' car. Megane R26 had me laughing, for example!

I can't fault them TBH, car was as immaculate as described, friendly laid back service, happy to deal with me over the phone. Decent blokes IME!

Re: Finally.

Yeah same can be said about my purchase as well.
So much eye candy whilst you are there which is always nice too
 
Re: Finally.

Cheers again all!

Nice motor. Well done :clap:

They seem to hold their value incredible well still

Crazy how well they have held their value, even more so up here, there's one for sale 8 miles from me at a dealer, a year newer than this but with similar mileage in white and they want 25 grand for it!

Re: Finally.

The green is the nicest colour for these imo. Makes them stand out good and proper.

Although theres a white one round the corner from me and that looks well too. Epic cars 
 
Re: Finally.

Cheers again folks.

Wheels will be staying silver, vents will also be staying green!

Re: Finally.

JCC do you know where the previous owner was from? I swear the pictures on the dealers website are taken in my home towns graveyard in Wales!
