Focus RS Mk1
Hi all, an introduction for my new car/project.
Got rid of the evo 5 in feb last year, been running the daily shed, fiat punto 1.2, for the time being, mainly since the wife and I had our first child, it was practical etc. Now she's nearly 6 months old we dont need half the crap we had so i can sack the punto off to a mate of mine and start using the RS as a daily.
We were blessed this weekend with some nice weather so decided to get out and clean the RS for the first time.
Just gave it a going over with some megs gold class, two bucket method, dryed with water magnet and thats it, testiment to the previous owners who done a top job of keeping it clean. Does need a going over with a clay bar soon but i'll get it in the garage for that.
Spec list:
A/E Tuna (bluefin) Remap
Ford Motorsport tubular manifold (heatwrapped)
Miltek decat
Roose motorsport boost hoses
Force Actuator
Force 007 recirc valve
Running direct at 22-25psi
Carbon fibre front splitter
Carbon fibre fog light surrounds
Stack boost gauge
8000k HID lights
Colour coded door handles
Smoked front indicators
Estimated power @ 280-300bhp. Need to get it on the rollers to check it out. But quite common output with these modifactions.
Anyway, enough from me, the pics:
Since the pictures were taken ive removed the stenciling from the mud flaps so they are plain, normally id have taken them off but since its going to my daily soon i want to preserve the car as much as possible.
Mods ive got lined up,
rewrap the exhaust manifold, was done poorly, thats sat waiting for the weekend. Got a scangauge 2 on the way which i'll fit soon. Can keep an eye on those all important temps and AFR's.
After that the cash from the punto sale will go on a double din pioneer satnav unit.
Will need new brakes and tyres in a couple of months so some upgraded discs and pads are on the list.
Other than that im keen to just enjoy it.
