Default My Mk1 Focus RS

Back in August last year I bought 4501 focus Rs.

The day I got it it looked like this





I then did a few bits n bobs to it. Changed wheels and put my plate on



I then decided to sell it as wanted to track it and didn't want to crash the last one.

So of it went looking standard(ish)



Sold to a local lad.

Before it sold I bought another focus. The one I initially wanted as I knew the car. Low miles very well maintained etc.

So I bought 2694.

How it looked when I got it













There was several things I didn't like but knew I could remove easily.

So I set about things, took the miltek of 4501 and fitted to new one. As it looks and sounds better than the mongoose that was on the new one.

Then the stickers had to go. 17 seperate ones in total. The bonnet wrap especially. Took bloody ages! Then I removed the super legs as 9 inch wide look so much better IMO.

The 1.2's were fitted.

Next to the engine bay, the covers and gold bolts were a no no so removed and replaced.

Now looks like this





This is how the car looks now, same as old one really.









Next to do is coil overs as I want is lower. And a nice set of AP's. then up the power

Already has a hybrid manifold etc. a set of injectors and a re map should sort it out

Power plans?

Sounds good.

Any figure in mind or just whatever it feels most capable with on track?

I've seen a couple of the FRS guys say they struggle to keep up with lower powered cars cause they put the power down better and end up detuning slightly.
