Maybe, but a 350bhp engine in a Focus is really good. Maintains good drivability. Only issue really that I want to resolve quickly is the full lock problem due to the combination of a sierra steering rack and focus chassis legs. Won't be much of a hassle

Minirotty · 26-08-2009, 05:48 PM

Look forward to seeing the progress on this one if the other two you've done are anything to go by bud.

macca33 · 26-08-2009, 06:05 PM

Holy shit, it looks better already.. You must have washed it.. lol

you will need focus rs wings and wheel spacers for that mate. how much you pay for it?

focus 4x4 · 26-08-2009, 06:06 PM

Just messin..... its a quality little project you have going there.

massivewangers · 26-08-2009, 06:13 PM

I was expecting this to be an EsCos! That's all I'd seen you posting about

Looks nice mate, though I do think a bit of subtle modification to the body might be nice, as your old Focus looked smart. Sleeps have their place, but I prefer something with a bit of a look about it really!

Be interesting to see where you go with it though!

miller3 · 26-08-2009, 06:24 PM

Nice one "Boy-o".....

proper little sleeper that

WongRS · 26-08-2009, 06:34 PM

COCHYN · 26-08-2009, 06:42 PM

The arches mate, had the wings off today to have a good look. So I'm cutting the chassis leg, modifying a different plate in its place, strengthening it but still might have to use narrower blocks on the steering rack. But overall it should give me some better clearance...so might be down to a few less than a million point turn afterwards

puss · 27-08-2009, 03:21 PM

COCHYN · 27-08-2009, 04:29 PM

Keeping interior as is, love the way it looks inside...virtually no sound too!

Might change seats though.

@ jonny S2

Yeah, back in October 2007 I think. Basically sat doing nothing since then.

Slowly bringing it back from the brink now

jonny s2 · 27-08-2009, 04:35 PM

Whatever anal people want to believe about powerful FWD cars, the Focus RS is an exceptional car. Would put enough RWD and 4x4 cars to shame, mine did

So I'll always be happy to have another one some day. But as for the comparison, can't really compare both cars...this one's virtually a Sierra Saph in different clothing. But its really fun, will be able to give more details sometime next week after I get it on the road properly

180 bhp vauxhall XE mate

His son's got a REALLY nice mk1 eccy too.

COCHYN · 27-08-2009, 05:14 PM

Cool, that was a pretty cool drive back. But the wind started to pick up as we were going down that hill just before the Escort and I went off the dual. I ended up having to go all the way to Wrexham afterwards, which I reckon I saw you coming back towards me again

@ dingla RS

Few lads on here with or had a 4x4 Focus, so I guess your best bet is to contact Charlie Shaw....I think he's given all kinds of abuse possible to a mk1 Focus Cossie

But I'll stick with RWD I think, but give Ian Gerrard (Reyland Focus) a PM, he's thinking of going 4x4 too

Yes you did, on the Oswestry bypass!
Just dropped my mate off and was heading back to mine

didn't realise it was you until about Telford, lol.

CarbonRick · 27-08-2009, 06:04 PM

Loving it mate, I was expecting you to get an EsCos too.
I'm sure this'll have the Cochyn magic touch soon.

COCHYN · 27-08-2009, 06:18 PM

Difficult to find a decent one for the right price, still on the look out. But I think I'll like this just as much

cosmagedon · 27-08-2009, 06:23 PM
