Hi All,

Although a long standing member of the focus RSOC i have recently became a member to come along with a few of you guys "fingers" to the ACE cafe meet i thought i best put up a few photos of the car of which i am sure some of you may already know

I bought it back in 2012 and in that time set about putting my own touch on the car. Its a 2009 on a "59" Mk2 focus RS, and in the time i have owned it, its had a few little modifications, the main being its full "liquid azure blue" respray last year.

Hopefully there are some more mods to come over the course of this year so long as house buying doesn't slow things down to much

Anyway enough of the chat, below are the photos

Looks nice!

 

Looks nice mate are those pictures outside legends bodyshop

 

Cheers mate

Yeah the 1st three photos are outside legends. They did by all accounts great work on the paint and airbrushing that i had done on the car. Cant recommend there work enough

 

Very nice that.

 

Cheers for the kind comment

 

Very nice, good choice of wheels

 

Top car this hope to meet you face to face at our ace cafe meet in may

 

Many thanks for all the kind comments. Hopefully following on from the ACE and the meeting of some new faces, I will be able to head out to some other shows with the passion ford guys and gals

 

Looks very nice, always nice to see big brakes too!

What kinda power would this be running with all them mods?

 

Brakes were the 1st thing that went on it when i got it Must say improvement over the standards is epic.... Legends did the little treat of custom painting them to match the blue of the car when it was resprayed and then removed the "Ksport" and airbrushed RS logo for me finished them off



Power, as yet i am unsure as it is the 1st Mk2 RS Harvey Gibbs has built however it should be good for around 500bhp although since getting it back last year after the rebuilt its only done about 1500miles so yet to really test it out Power wise i didnt want to go to crazy, just want it to be a standard Mk2 on steroids as it were.....

 

Looks real nice that!

 

Whats power without control! Thats what i always say and those brakes look like good control to me! Then again even if i didn't have the power i would still like to see huge brakes!!

Didn't know it was the first harvey one made. Should last well then, would like to know what it does do if you get it tested. Also 1500 miles is enough to push that right toe down Then again with that kinda power whats it like for wheel spin on the move?

 

Stunning looking car.


Pete.

 

Defo the 1st one he built when it was up there last year being rebuilt, i guess there may have been more since however

I will defo put a post up should it be tested, i was hoping to get it upto JWR on the hub dyno over the winter, however with one thing and another i didn't get chance, i know it is currently running a JWR map running around 23psi boost and is a very similar spec to the old JWR demo car other than turbo and that ran 550bhp.

Wheel spin is well, pretty much non existent although i cant deny there is some in the lower gears although less than there was pre rebuild as due to it being a bigger turbo the boost comes in later so makes for a nicer drive

 

Cheers Pete, man after my own heart should you own the TME in your signature. I used to have a white one many years ago

 

looks mint arnie

 

Would love to have a ride in this, bet it sounds awesome!

Very impressed with this!

Your fit right in here!

 

Very nice mate ����

 

wow congrats mate!

 

Cheers for the kind comments guys

Should i get any news re the rolling road or do any more mods i shall add them here

 

Little update ahead of the up and coming ace cafe meet, managed to get my new head lights fitted to the car, rather pleased with the results

 

I followed this on the FRSOC and it looked good then, sometimes its god to be different!

 

Cheers for the reply. I do love the car and how its come out, recent house purchase has slowed progress down as i would love to do a few more bits to it

 

Nice looking FRS mate.

 

Still looks smart! Would come see this and other in the flesh at the cafe but i don't have a Ford on the road

 

Nice wheels, never seen a set of aftermarket rims that look better than stock before.

 

It would be rude for me not to allow you to bring this to our birthday meet on may 21st arnnie so you are officially the 1st person to be given a definate yes on exhibiting your car, see you on may 21st at the ace cafe

 

Top car this looking forward to seeing it at the ace cafe on passionfords night

 

Really nice and loving the colour. Suits it well

 

Only ones i could find that i liked as much as the standards myself, went with bronze to be a little diff plus i really think they suit the blue

Means alot does that, looking forward to coming along and meeting some new faces / seeing some new cars
