Default 2004 focus rs £7000

With great regret, for sale. My focus rs.
Sale formfundsntowards imminent house purchase.

The car has 88k on the clock. Tax amd mot till end of October. Hpi clear
Ill get the bad bits out of the way first, then continue reading if your still interested.

Steering wheel is worn
Couple of door dinks ( one on drivers door, one passengers rear quarter ) could be popped out. Paint not broken
Front pads are a bit squeaky when cold
Stone chips to lower rear quarters.
Sometime drivers window is noises going down
Wheels whilst not bad could do with blowing over ( this and the rear quarters was my next treat, there not awful, just the only poor bits.

Now for the good. In the last 1000 miles its had a fairly major overhaul. Including but not limited to
New front drive shaft
New front wheel bearing
New yellow stuff end front pads
Rebuilt the brembos with new seals
Replaced every turbo gasket
New ball joints
New front drop links
New cv boots
Full powerflex front bush kit
Aux belt and tensioner
Campbell and tensioner s ( gates belt, ina tensioner s )
Full fluid service
Oil filter
Decat gaskets
Two new front tires ( fallen 914s)
New turbo smart recirc valve
Forger actuator (blue spring 21psi)
Skimmed both flanges flat on the tubular manifold
New front bumper and paint
New amber indicators ( comes with the clears)
New exhaust flexi

So as you can see. Quite a bit of work. Was planning on keeping this for ever basically. But I'm in a fortunate position where I can stretch to buy.

Mods are as follows
Tubular manifold
Gen 2 k&n filter
Full mongoose filter ( including decat and flexi)
Turbo smart recirc valve
Forge actuator ( 21psi, still running the std electronic boost control for safety, not direct)
Boost gauge
Ebc ultimate discs alround
Powerflex front bushes

Some pictures ( will get some better ones when the wether cheers up

( treated it to a new header tank since this pic as it looked all grubby in the pic, also got a pack of the correct clips for the bottom of the front bumper, ill pop those in tommorow )


Car is rust free throughout. I have a nice little picture diary from when all the work was done showing inner arches etc

It's not ashow winner but its a really usually mechanically sound car ( which is what I wanted. )
I'm after £7000 Ono. Which looking at the other cars for sale ( ebay/trader/ pistonheads) is quite low for a car of this age amd mialage especially considering I've just changed pretty much every perishable component. Every mot from new. Two keys etc. nice big folder of receipts
Interior is very clean. Seats mint. It's got the rare blinds fitted to the rear windows.
Power is around 285 bhp. Peak boost set to 21psi and holds 18.

Any questions feel free to ask. Cars in reading.
07803699107. ( ill get some better pictures when the weather is a bit better

Cheers for the input jake

Hope this backs up the add. As advertised, it's no show winner. But is completely mechanically sound and rust free.

Some time spent tidying the paint would increase the value significantly. But I'm a engineer by trade and as such have concentrated on the mechanical restoration.
