its what i was told by previous onwer but im not sure its got very good paint work i swapped it for my mk2 escort with an aspirated cosworth 2 days ago and its better than i thought and its got a massive spec mostly by nms

its got
t35 hybrid
nms stage3 + custom map it peak 30psi drop to 25 and then drop to 20 before the limiter
so all your stage 3 gear
group a coil
charge cooler system with water injection
nms stage 1 head
bigger fuel pump (although nms said in need to uprate from there)
cometic gasket arp bolts
full rebuild by nms 8k ago
and loads more
its got a rolling road report for 382bhp but nms said its more like 360 bhp but it will have more torque coz of the custom map but i can comfirm it flies so what ever it is im happy

I like that mate... Very nice.

Does look more like Solid Black rather than Ash Black though.
Ash Black almost looks like a dark grey in some lights.

Stick the Paint code up on here, im sure someone can tell ya.

Either way, its really nice.

If i have another one, ill be going to Black or Polaris.

yea mate its very quick for the spec i couldnt belive it when i got in but its all down to the mapping that nms carried out coz its got so much punch low down is the old owner on passionford as the car is a credit to him and nms as i said im well chuffed with it and have already spoke to the guys at nms about up grades

next on the list is
an external fuel pump (044) with the walbro as a lift pump with external swirl pot and aero quip lines and light blues and a remap and cambelt so im going to get saving aswell as i wont some comp mo's

Looks lovely.. Just said good bye to my one.. I wont mention the new owner but Im sure he will get her back to her former glory... Gloss black should be A2 I believe on the VIN.

Black is the best colour by miles.... Polaris dont do it for me

Yes the owner is one here but hardly visits,Username is Gregs.
He will be at central day on the derbyshire stand with his focus rs.
If you want to chat to him about it/history of the car etc i can pass his details on as long as he is ok with it

I think i done pretty well, i swaped it with my mk2 escort aspirated cosworth, needed a few bits to do before it was fully finished, so when the guy told me swap ... i was over the moon as he wanted around £11k+ for the escos, so i kind of kept my mouth shut & off i drove lol
the guy i got it off is from cornwall to be honest i think he's lost the plot! he told me he had this for about 3months! and he's now selling my old mk2 after a week of owning it ...
