Hi everyone
Is there anyone on this forum that owns a proper Focus sleeper i.e. a base model with RS running gear?
If so, do you have any pics?
Cheers

 

 

I've had a MK1 MX5 as my weekend car for the last couple of years (which are great fun BTW) since I sold my last MK4 Escort. I've still got my MK1 Focus which I've had for 13 years now.
I've been toying with the idea of looking for another MK1 Focus but a sleeper. There's a lovely looking gold 3 door with an RS engine on the MK1 Focus group on Facebook and was just wondering if the opportunity arose to purchase something similar what sort of price they would change hands for?
Cheers

 

Cor, I bet that trolley absolutely flies with that engine

 

LOL, thats what you call a shopping trolley!

 

IIRC was this set-up from a college or something similar?

 

No I just like playing with engines.

The above is a modified zetec with all the Rs bits bolted on. If you can find them and it took me five or six years the Rs bits are going to add up to more than some very capable cars.
The RS Megane 225 springs to mind.
I am thinking of breaking the above as I am working on a rwd turbo zetec and rwd Duratec 30 (St220)

 

I must have seen something similar in another thread somewhere

 

Ford college at Daventry used to have a room full of things like Big Wasa has built.

I don't recall them having a Focus RS engine but they had a lot of others.

 

It also runs on the Rs ecu.
That one was a bit more fancy than the others I've done.
