my friend has sold his kit car now and has his new double garage sitting empty, he mentioned if i wanted to i could stick my RS in there over xmas and do any jobs that needed doing. i'm struggling for inspiration though. the garage will be useful as i can get a proper detail done on the body work (lives outside 24/7) but i cant think of much that needs doing, or the next stage of modification.

car has bluefin, forge actuator, 4-1 manifold, exhaust.

i am thinking of converting the lights to darker ones, but cant think of what to do next?

car has done 110k now but doesnt miss a beat, people have said the next thing to do is a hybrid turbo, but having never been in a focus with one, i cant quite justify iot to myself.

any suggestions?

 

rwd it and put a 500bhp yb in it lol

 

i have been tempted a number of times to strip it and send it off to andy gallagher or A1 rallysport....would become a money pit but what a weapon!

i've always wondered how well RWD focus's handle, depends on the tolerances used in the build but i always though using a sierra rear beam and front struts might be a backwards step from the focus' sorted chassis?

would love a polaris grey focus RS, and she does need some paint.....hmmmmm

 

Front mount and hybrid mate... What a difference .

 

my impression is that the front mount is only needed for the track the standard charge cooler is ok for road use.

been meaning to get one of the new spec-r coolers made up but cant find time to get the car down to pete, and he didnt reply to my previous mail.

 

Stick a bigger turbo and intercooler on it.

 

I saw a massive advantage on mine even on road use.
