FRS Sold and new car inside...
Haven't been on here much this last week as i've been a busy boy.
I ended up in York on Tuesday swapping a mates evo for a rather tasty E30 with an E36 m3 engine. That was almost 400 miles each way. Then on the way home from there i got a txt about a swap deal.
Basically 2 days later me and my mate did another long journey but this time 440 miles
I now have an evo 8 FQ 330, Blitz nur spec exhaust(sounds the absolute tits), decat, HKS BOV, walbro pump and remap to 380 spec, 18" ultralite's, evo 9 rear bumper, front splitter, defi oil pressure and boost gauges, some fancy tv/dvd stereo etc
It's an amazing car. I've had plenty friends with evo's and driven loads but it's ace to actually own one. It is so capable and generally a weapon in any circumstance.
Anyway a couple of pics.

very nice chop, i went round donnington in an EVO 8 on R888'S, was hugely impressed, the grip was unreal, even going through the craners.

Ok, so you've got an EVO now... thats good, well done Chop. Top marks.
But, now the Focus has gone, can you seriously say you liked the bonnet on the FRS?!
Cheers,

I too would LOVE to get an honest answer, there was always a pause when he talked about it.

People say they are boring as they "drive themselves". That's not quite true but they are superb.

That part of the drive has a funny down slope to the front and the side so probably just that. Standard height.
