Been thinking about it for a while and after only very recently getting my newly built steel 1.6cvh mapped toying with the idea of breaking the car and going for something newer, focus rs most likely.

Owned my rs turbo for over 6 years now and never ever thought i’d get rid but as is the usual case i you end up constantly wanting more power with a better spec etc etc and after spending silly amounts of money on it things have changed and i feel i don’t want to go any further with it.

The car as it stands imo has been built to a very high standard with mainly track use in mind, and no expense has been spared getting it to where it is now. Throughout ownership of the car i’ve always strived to fit the ‘best’ parts and i dread to think how many hours have gone into it!

Anyway, thinking it may be more financially rewarding to just break the car as i really can’t be doing with the timewasters and jokers wanting to pay 3k for it etc etc, and there's some really good parts in it.

The car has had a full feature in fast ford as well as attending one of their thrashes and being on the front cover

The engine itself has done 1000 miles in total with it being ran in before winter and brought out again last month to be mapped on full boost (done 100 miles or so since mapping).

As i say i’m just gauging possible interest at the moment and having never broken a car don't know how much hassle it all ends up being....then in the near future will make the decision
