who has now also added autronic

ecu boost control holding approx

1.8 bar of boost i expect its now

in the region of 450+ bhp but not had it on the dyno

not for the faint hearted.

Colin who i got it off has a 520hp white 3dr and said the focus is the only other car in the same sort of league performance wise he has been in.

 

That's lovely, 428bhp in a car that doesn't weigh much and fwd i bet is fun?

 

very nice mate...Mine ran 411bhp...3years ago...lovly car to drive.

 

Colin is a top bloke - his 3 dr is an animal!

Looks a very serious Focus - what does it go like?

 

love that bet it goes like fook hope you enjoy it mate

 

Mental that focus is mate !!!
Enjoy it !
I was on the phone to colin when you was there!
Saw you on way out of winsford in my saff!
Enjoy car , cheers jeff!
That frs has wanted for nothing ,col is a right fussy git !!
I want that clio off him now

 

I wanna see pics of his 3dr.....

 

I bet it weighs the same empty as your three door does with two passengers and fuel they are not light as I didn't think, 1500ish I bet !

 

will its been wet or damp so far but even in them conditions it just feels insane, cant wait to get a dry ish day to get some grip lol

colin said its quicker then the 3dr till top end of 4th gear

 

Pete it was on the cover of PF the other month.

Colin allways looks after his cars and they never want for anything, you have got yourself a good car there.

Jeff i had a play with the clio on the way to work this morning.

 

It was on cover of performance ford earlier this year !! I think
Goes like fook ! Trust me , and stunning condition

 

Really Jimbo?? i thought they were about 1200kgs??

1500 sounds VERY LARDY..........??

 

yeah spotted you on way out

mate that clio is pretty quick for what it is and sooooo much fun to drive and was a very capable track car

 

a bet that goes well

 

his 3dr is on the front cover of the may edition of performance ford

 

May well be off the mark but I thought these were right lard arses ! I'm sure I looked on our mot weight board and they were hefty. Will have to check it out

 

I thought they were 1300kg kerb weight?

 

Enjoy frs m8 !! You wont find another like it
Its ballistic in the dry ! Hate those clios , but something about that one !! Lol

 

Might be wrong Pete, may have been the mkII 1481 kg doh! I'm not sure what mkI are !

 

Yeah that sounds about right Jimbo...

 

I love this car, what does it grip like in the dry? would of thought some r888s would be needed up front?

 

have you been out in the clio? what you think of it also the old taxi aint to shabby either if you been out in that with him.

 

Col chased me up the hill this morning in it, seems to go quite well tbh.

 

Truely stunning!!! Jealous as fook!

Is that much power not wasted in a FWD car though?

 

dunno yet mate only got it yesterday but cant wait for a dry day lol colin said its pretty good tbh with all the adrenaline hop skip and traction stuff on it.

just needs an alloy fuel tank as you cant drive it on boost under 1/4 tank of fuel.

 

clio or cossie lol

 

Been out in both cars m8!
Cossie goes very well,
Clio seems to rev well and bounce off limiter for fun , even like the seats

 

Clio, i was on my way to work in the Audi and knew who it was as soon as he come up behind me

 

We have had bad experiences in clios m8!

 

That one has got to be better! Atleast the seats have been changed so it doesn't feel like your sat on the bog when driving it!

 

Very nice indeed mate.

What sort of price was it if you don't mind me asking?

 

colin had it up for Ł12495 which is pretty good seeing as there is over 30k worth of receipts with it, i gave him my saph,clio sport and some money lol

 

Glad to see this car going, was one of the first highly tuned Focus RS. I believe Paul Hamling had the work done at SCC in St Albans, cracking piece of kit and looks in great nic still

 

Thats what you need mate

Nice car mate, i had one a few years ago! cracking cars and this one will fly

 

been talking to mark shead and he dont recommend using a swirl pot for some reason, he said just fit an alloy tank?

 

what diffrence will it make being alloy? unless it has an internal collector in it?

 

Love it fella

Is it good to get rid of the paranoia feeling again ?

 

Looks well,, any info on the clio??

 

csm i never really had paranoia tbh i just got in it started all the time and never missed a beat.

maxest its just a clio sport 172 cup with 2 buckets in and rear stripped but had a few bits done and goes really well for what it is.
