Mat, here ya go buddy, right hand side of the page...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Sierra_RS_Cosworth

Just type in google for FRS..

And another.

Sierra is bigger than a Focus, so no if you only have 2" to spare then it's not going to fit.

Should think Focus is around 14 foot at the most (So far as I know FRS is no different)

Martin

 

3dr 14.6ft
Frs 14.4ft

 

I find that hard to believe to be honest, as that would mean the Focus is the same size as a Mondeo (Excluding MK4) effectively?

Martin

 

Im off to measure the garage now....(paranoid)

 

Its not so hard to belive when you see a MK2 FRS pasrked next to an Escos etc, its dwafs them

 

Well ive got 460cm...15ft ish with the doors closed so might just squeeze in there for a couple of weeks.

 

try it then mate as ive just worked it out off wiki.

 

my sapph(yeah i know its not a 3 door) looks smallers than my focus tbh and they look to be about the same lenth

pics

 

See what they say but I just can't see it, bearing in mind the Focus MK1 is 164 inches, this would mean the MK2 Focus is a foot longer which isn't correct I suspect it's a few inches if anything. Interestingly it also states the FRS is 4 inches longer than the MK2.

Keep us posted though as I would be interested to know if it does fit or not

Martin

 

When you getting the 3 door matt ?

 

This saturday she`s coming home mate.

 

Will do mate ...cheers....

 

Nice one mate been a long wait , stunning car that keep us well posted on the car but dont be the new staffi only joking pete x

 

My Mk2 ST wouldn't fit into my garage with a storage unit at the end, and my old st170 fitted ok. Had to take the unit out and my ST just fits, so it is definately longer!

 

By looking at the two together there I can see the Saph is longer also in that pic the Saph is further back as I see what your saying though the Focus is taller and about the same in width I should think.


We also have similar cars bar the colour



Martin

 

Will do mate.......And as for pete...Well my camera memeory doesnt hold that much memory...Lol....

 

Hi mate, Ive got both.
The Focus is a fair bit shorter than the 3dr cos with the Focus in my garage I can easily walk round it but with the 3dr its a bit of a squeeze!

 

Cheers pal....Just hope it squeez`s in....

 

As I say I should think the Focus is around 14FT at the most so a few inches more than the previous Focus, a Mondeo is what replaced the Sierra and so comparable in size but even this was smaller, the Sierra is also quite "Boxy". The Focus replaced the Escort and so a hatchback, the Sierra a saloon.

But if OP'S garage is 15FT then it will just fit.

Martin

 

Hope your right Mart.

 

Hahahahaha

 

ROFL....

 

Ive got a cossie 3dr n mk2 focus rs sales brochures at home which have the measurements of the cars in. When i finish work if your question hasnt been answered by then i will post them up.

 

3 door is just over 14ft,there actually bigger than a saff. Can't help you with the focus.

 

Sapphires are 4494mm long
MK2 RS is 4402mm
MK1 RS is 4183mm

No 3 door measurements though

 

I had a look at my RS brocures and i couldnt see where it said about the dimensions of the 3dr.Ive got the ones of the focus RS.

 

In January 1985, the brochure had the following lengths:
3/5 door 173.5" Estate 177.4", except
Ghia - 5 door 174.2" Estate 178.0"
XR4i 3 door - 175.6" l

I don't suppose the 3dr Cosworth will be very different from the XR4i.

 

Cheers Glen.... I will just have to wait and see Saturday .

 

just park it at cross hotel

 

I could... The only thing that dare touch it would be the rain and I don't want that....

 

 

it will defo fit inside 15ft

i was amazed at how small a sierra actually is compared to newer cars my 3 series is harder to get around in the garage over the sierra and the coupe boot and rear leg room is shocking in bmw,where does it all go as sierra has a long bonnet

i dont think a 3 door can be longer than a saph,im sure i read the estate and saph are identical length and hatchback 2 in shorter

 

Hope your right mate...

 

14 and a half size 8s mate i just paced it out inc exhaust

 

anyone know the lenght of a s1 please?

 

Yes that should fit then no drama.... Cheers mate .

 

have you not realised that new cars are getting bigger and now not fitting into uk parking spaces??

the mk4 mondeo is HUGE compared to the mk3!!!

 

Not true, hatch is 14' 5", Saph is 14' 7" , the boot is also a CU foot bigger.

By a few inches at the most and wider, yes Mk4 Mondeo is effectivley now the size of a Granada!

Sierra is bigger than a 3 series, I should think the new E90 may be similar in length but dosen't have much space inside it as you say, Ford cars always tend to be big, compare them to there equivilant rivals, the MK4 Mondeo is a prime example of this.

You are correct though Saph is 2" longer (As I state above) but the Estate is longer than the Saph again by about the same amount.
