I haven't done a built thread or showcased it anywhere really. I'll have a dig through and sort some pictures out.

The first point i must make is, if your going to mess around with anything focus rs the parts are just rediculsly expensive, Hence why i running a focus 2l giha gearbox, i almost didn't finnsh this van just through pure lack of funds and i think thats due to how rare the focus rs is over a cossie or a rs turbo.

The speedo actully stops reading where it is in the picture. I have had a GPS 138mph out of it with about 700rpm to go and i fully belive it would have puled it to the limmiter if i had the balls to keep my foot in down.

All though that doesn't sound too impressive (as my stage 1 cossie would piss pass 140 as if it was nothing) i think you have to take into condioration the airodynamics. Its a Hi- roof transit conncet with a massive lightbar on the back and its was loaded at the time chip was mapping it! trying to get that trough the air at 130+ gets my respect lol.
