get one with a "genuine" 200bhp, cosworth brakes, uprated gearbox and polybushes and coilovers and you will love it

i would reccomend buying one with better condition over spec though and doing it yourself

the best single mod you can do is fit aftermarket management, just transforms the car
aswell as cooling and handling upgrades

i find they are at their best with around 200bhp so if you can get one with that, that runs lovely with good allround upgrades in good condition its the car to have

ive had focus rs's mk1 and mk2, cossies, st's, oldskool fords and ive still gone back to an rst, theirs just something about them i love
