My Focus RS

Coleman. Yes I only kept the R8 for about 6 months it was a nice car but didn't really mesh with it.

I live in leven but I'm along at Sitech a fair bit.

awesome machine, my mate knows the Sitech guys well, they just built his forged EP3 engine, briefly met them a few times and they seem like a decent bunch of clued up dudes!!

my mate's FRS runs just over the 400hp mark and im always surprized at how well it puts its power down.

Such an epic hatch!

Id hate to think what the neighbours thought when you sold an R8 for a ford focus.
Not keen on the white interior, it makes the head unit look completely out of place.

Want!

Great car and what a great map.

But im shocked you manage 25mpg round town with 500bhp when the 300bhp one has trouble with it reaching that.

Awesome car

Isn't he saying combined it's 25mpg, so factor in 35mpg on the motorway it's doing less than 25 around town.

Ah so you bought David's car. I speak to him every few days, lovely chap.

I had to laugh when he told me the Gtr idea was on hold and he was going to have to use the RS4 in the mean time. God forbid eh!

Danny the previous owner of the Frs owns the RS4 in the background of my Trophy pics. :)

It really is some machine. He had so much done to it. Hopefully the paintwork is still up to scratch.

Neil did you have a look at Maxwell's? Not sure if he ever advertised it or not but I know he was considering it. Another car we look after paintwork wise.

I can only assume the 650 one was Maxwell's? I don't any other running that.
 
It doesn't get 25 around town. People are getting carried away. Mine did 16 mpg in stop-start town motoring when it was standard. Although in any case, I wouldn't think the mpg is affected too much by 500hp when it's not boosting.

People forget the off-boost factor a lot.

Mk1 Frs is the same.

Gally Greg did advertise his car but then pulled it from sale and spent more on mods, his car is now on a different level to therest of us lol

As said above that is the average combined mpg, I couldn't tell you what it does in tow as its not something I really bother about. Standard they are really bad on fuel a good remap will actually give power and economy.

Very nice indeed Neil, the ford RS love is still in the blood aye ;)

no more Escorts on the horizon?

the Revo software is awesome, I couldn't fault mine atall with the work Rob did on mine.
obviously not as far as yours, but even the 400bhp setup on mine peaked at 440lbft, its a monster on the road and such an adrenaline rush even a year down the line of the having the power.

i know its a air distance for you, but you going to be at Central Day this year?

Cheers Neil. Yeah Maxwell's can't really be beaten power wise. Kinda defies all logic in itself.

Good luck with the car though, glad to see a Ford man back in a Ford. ;)

If you're on Facebook and don't already know about it, search for "BeTapp'd", I can remember your car appearing in pics on there a few times when it belonged to the previous owner.
