Focus RS Mk1 number 2
I sold the focus at the end of November, I initially wanted to buy this car before buying the one I did as i knew the car but it wasn't for sale. Then at beginning of November the owner offered it me. Deal done.
The car had changed a lot since I knew it. Lots of stickers but also some good bits.
The car
37k, full history with 9 stamps, 7 done by Ford and last 2 by Demon Performance. Cambelt, Coolant and brake fluid also stamped in book. Last serviced around 300 miles ago in September.
Engine -
AE base map with DPC stage 3,
Forge 007 DV
JohnFRS hybrid (original spec) with JohnFRS braided turbo oil feed with filter
Forge actuator
BCS manifold in DEI titanium wrap
Mongoose decat
Miltek flexi
Mongoose system
GGR induction
AP 6 paddle clutch
Airtec chargecooler pre rad
Roose boost hoses
CPE air deflector panel
Outside -
H&R springs
OZ Suppaleggera 19" in anthracite
Front bumper, wings and bonnet resprayed
Kaylan mudflaps
EBC ultimax front discs with Brembo pro pads
Team Heko wind deflectors
Gloss black splitter
Colour coded handles and grill suround
Smoked front and side repeaters
Flyeye headlights and all rear lights
Custom wrapped bonnet
Carbon effect wrap on rear diffuser area
Aero flat wipers
Rear wiper removed (still have it though)
Power Flex (front & rear) front wishbone bushes
DPC torque mount
Inside -
Scangauge in DaveP windscreen mount
Blitz SBC iD type R boost controller
A pillar pod with Stack boost gauge
3 Rear window blinds
Under Bonnet -
CPE carbon plug cover
CPE carbon intercooler cover
AS pro series cam cover heatshield
Various probolts
Satin black throttle elbow
Redline bonnet lifters
This is how it looked when I picked it up.
The bonnet wrap
The engine bay
When I got it home I set about removing all the stickers including the bonnet wrap. Including all the fly eye effects on the lights.
Also removed the mudflaps, and the black wrap on rear diffuser.
Wheels came of and sold. Swapped the carbon effect ford badges for some new o/e ones.
So then had to fit new studs to accommodate the 1.2's so me and DazC did that today (thanks DC) also swapped the miltek onto it from the other focus.
Transferred my own plate onto it too.
Got rid of all the gold bolts under the bonnet and replaced with black. Sold the carbon inter cooler cover and fitted a new ford one. Next mod is AP 6 pots
Taken today.
On rondells
And my old 1, 4501 as it looked when it left my possession.

No mate. They were just to keep it rolling as I had sold the superlegs
Thank you
No I can't either buy I knew it'd soon remove so was happy. Will was a little tender that morning! Lol
Thank you Dave, more power and track abuse also want to change tyres to 235's
Thanks tarren
Not my cup of tea pal, I like the body work to look factory.
Being 8 inch wide at et42 they sat in the arches too much. Shame as they are nice but 18's better for me. Tyres cheaper and better handling
Yes it was mate. I turned up late
It was always clean. It beads like a freshly painted car.
Thanks Lewis, DeNero

Ive just bought a scangauge but not had chance to fit it yet.. So once I do ill have a better idea of what temps im getting.
Ive not got any issues with engine temps that im aware of- it was just that i'd heard a few stories about stupidly high Charge/inlet temps... Ive no plans to go for a bigger turbo so I might just leave it or put a bigger chargecooler Rad on for peace of mind!

The water temp will run over 100 degree 's.. (Normal)
Charge temps will be fine and they don't run hot like you've been told..
Back in 2007... I ran over 300bhp on std cooler .
