After having enough of playing around with my S2 for so many year I have now striped and selling it for parts.

I bought the Rs Focus on the 14th of February this with 5000 miles on the clock and one previous owner. It was initially meant to be a daily running but after a couple of track day and falling in love with it I have decide to only use it as a toy, track car and Sunday blasts.

I have loads of ideas for it and have already started playing around with.

Current spec:

K&N57i Induction kit
Bluefin
Mongoose Decat
Rouse Boost Hoses
Rouse Intake House
R888 Toyo’s
Black Wheels
Groved Front Brembo’s
DS2500 Pads

It’s making a healthy 248bhp and 280ftlb which is not big power but still shits on most things.

I have started ordering loads of new parts to get this project under way.

Parts on order:

Nortek tubular Manifold
Miltek Long system
Forge Actuator Blue spring
Forge Recirc Dump Valve
Pro Alloy Air – Air Intercooler
Powerflex Polly Bushes
Goodridge Brake Hoses

After ordering all of above I have run out of money for a couple of months but once I have saved up I will complete the spec of the car with the following:

New Turbo
Ap Racing Brakes
KW Coilovers

I haven’t got many picture of the car yet because it’s dirty as hell lol I do have some Pic’s of the work I have already started:

Rocker Cover:







Dash surround and new boost gauge:





Got to love a bit of flocking!!

Stay turned for the emotional rollercoaster of modifying cars!! lol

Cheers

Jim

sounds like you av got some good plans for it,just had mine dynod 2day made 213bhp only got a decat at the mo.

 

looks wiked

 

what kinda turbo you going for?

 

blue and carbon.................. Oh yer!!!!!!!!

 

looks well smart that dash surround

 

Very nice, loving the rocker cover

Dan

 

Good stuff

 

The turbo is made by a guy on the Rsoc its a GT25 hybrid.

He is currently making around 370bhp on his.

I'm not sure i'm going to go so high with mine..... If i rebuild the engine and fit new rods pistons ect then i might.

Thanks for your comments guys i should have a big update later on this week as i'm planning on having a major fitting session!

Jim

 

Jim your S2 was sweet

Im looking forward to seeing this build

 

Hello Keith

How you doing matey?

This build will be a little more tame than the S2 due to money but I’m still hoping to build a rocket ship!!

Jim

 

looks good mate, really thinking of gettin 1 of these, they look spot on

 

Had a delivery from AET turbo's today:

Nortek tubular Manifold
Miltek Long system
Forge Actuator Blue spring
Forge Recirc Dump Valve

Pic of the Nortek


Cermaic coated

Not the best pic becuase it was off my iphone...

work will start tonight -)

 

Have to admit, the Nortek manifold does look a nice piece of kit. Hoping to finish mine off very soon, then on with other work!

Good stuff so far, keep the thread alive

 

You making your own matey??

The nortek is a mega bit of kit i've been looking around for months and to me this offers the best value for money and performance.

Jim

 

Best value yes, but the PD will always be on top IMO. But then again, not heard of any faults surrounding Nortek's example, nice power figures too.

Me mate who's a mechanical engineer and I are building one, but we havn't got much time these days to finish it. Will get there though, in the mean time, I can focus on other bits

 

Small update guys

I have gone for a set of Ap 362mm six pots in Red.

If anyone is after a set of these GGR is the place to buy after ringing around they done the best price just over 1400 quid for RSOC Members.

I will put some pic's up tomorrow when they turn up!

My orginal Rs Focus brakes will be up for sale with Ds2500 Pad's & Brembo groved disc's 100% only covered about 1500 miles PM me if your interested.

Jim

 

looking good mate.would love a focus rs

 

I have a feeling this will be fun to watch

Would like to get your RS brakes. But no cash and it would prolly cost a butt load to ship to the US.

 

Got a feeling you would be right fella they are fairly weighty + not sure they would line up on the SVT hubs.

I haven't done much work yet been waiting for the gas to turn up for the heater in the garage lol should have some good pic's and updates soon.

Jim

 

Very nice mate, what route are you going to take with the ecu? bluefin,ds, aftermarket etc?

 

I believe they would but haven't heard of anybody doing it. The RS wheels fit on the SVT's.

 

Im going to stick with bluefin for the time being up2 350-370 Jamie @ superchips can write a map for it. I have already spoke it him and nothing is a problem tbh great company. On bluefin+ you can get around 330+ ish with the right mods.

 

Ap's 362's From GGR










Will start fitting the parts soon

 

very nice jim

 

Wicked mate

 

looking awsome

 

 

Brian

 

there tiny

 

I'm hoping to get some 320mm rear's before xmas and that will be the brakes taken care of

 

Will these brakes fit under standard 18s or do you have to go up to 19s? Kit looks very good and the manifold is Porn

 

nice rockercover,but polish your intake tube
This is my

 

Tim they fit under standard wheels no problem

Vvelzen im not really into polished things so my one will be heat coated black by cam coat along with my intercooler boost pipes.
