Having driven the new focus rs yesterday and almost bought it ,i may strip my car for bits its been in the process of happening a bit and is prob a hard if not the hardest decision ive thought about for ages.Havin had my car for years i recon these new younguns can have a crack so if u see a for sale post for bits you know why.
tim
p.s the new focus drives mint as well but fuck its slow lol

 

dont do it mate

 

Keep it alive rs turbo s2

 

atleast dont scrap the shell

 

if you've got the box in i would atleast see what it does on that as you might just improve some of your times and if in future someone does it on what will be your current setup will be you'll of wondered what if, but if you need money quick then only one thing for it but beware stuff going rather cheap at moment

 

hey theres Ł2000 scrappage who can resist that lol

 

to save you the hassle of scrapping it i'll drop by with the 2000 for car as it is persuming it's a working car under scrappage rules

 

dpends where you go ,and who scraps it.

 

LOL Timmy. Get it done.

Imagine a life without the car headaches. It does happen.

 

new focus rs is sweet, and owning a st, i can see the attraction. However ford are releasing the new RS next year with the 2.0 direct injection fuel effieceint engine with 300bhp which will probably kill the prices on the current one, so have a good think before committing now!

 

Shit, goof luck mate! Really pissed off with ford with the st and rs.... they could have so easily made a 4x4 rs! and i would have bought one as im sure would a lot of other rs owners would. And the next thing they will do is re-release the capri as fwd as well!

Rob,

 

Big decision mate?but I swear uv said you were going to break it before and never did lol.
Arenyou going for a new Rs then mate?

 

So that,ll soon be sold then Tim....

I personaly think you,re mad if you do, but i understand SOME of your thinking...

You,ll be SO gutted when Ollie passes you at a trackday Tim...

 

but if u break it in bits, how could you possibly be entitled to the scrappage scheme?

 

nah ill be in with him lol

 

Seriously mate, just think about it and make sure you,re 100% sure.....

 

Although its nice to have a new reliable car, i think it would be better to keep your car as a project get something a little cheaper a mk1 frs or st. You will regret selling your escort in time and youve taken yours so far it would be a great shame to let it all go.
All the best with your decision.
Mk 2 FRS are the nuts though !!

 

Probably no-one willing to pay what it's worth as a whole car but really hope it doesn't get broke

 

your joking right ?

why not keep the escort until the focus novelty wears off

i done the same thing but bought a astra turbo instead, it all seemed great because all the new stuff parts i could look at to get for the car, but 9 months later i was bored and the car i sold i could never get back

 

Here in the UK, we hook the shell up to the back of a van and drag it into the dealer, its OK.

 

o no not another for the chop


atleats your not looking at getting a renault


not all bad

 

Oi you, don't think that just because I said I love your car that it entitles you to abuse me. Did I say top 3? I meant bottom 3.

 

what happened to the mtx conversion was really looking forward to seeing your car break records you already own, or are you just getting too old for it now

 

Legendary car mate, one of the very few that i've always admired as it produces the goods in every discipline so well, unlike most of the big power one trick pony's!! Good luck with the focus RS......i wonder how much you'll spend trying to make it go like your escort though

 

I'll be glad to see it gone,was sick looking at the back of it,that Timmy fellow was always holding me up at Nat Day!


Micky

 

LOL

 

lol at micky
its a great car

 

tim, micky i think we need more pics up like this just before if you do sadly break one of the best alround rst's
