I remember a maroon coloured one with escort Cosworth wheels on, that went well.

That would have been be me
MK1 Focus RS engine & box, standard turbo peaking at 13psi.
Got black flagged early morning for someone elses noise, then bust an outer CV joint and hub late morning but managed to get back out for the afternoon!
Not a bad day all in all weather made all the difference!

Thanks for the comments! No build thread i'm afraid, and the next upgrade will be more power as its quite mild just now There's not a lot left that i can do with the chassis tbh!
I need it to be reliable for the time being so no silly boost pressure just yet
