Went to drive the new st on the weekend and ended up buying a focus rs

The new st is nice but the Rs looks the dog ball's and is a lot more of a drivers car.

Cheers,

Jim

 

 

It's an 03 plate with 7k on the clock hoping to pick it up sat

 

You made the correct choice!

Nice one mate, as cracking a car as the ST may be it's never going to be special like the RS. I'd say you've got a good investment (as far as car's go) there that will ALWAYS put a smile on your face, especially after you give it another 60-70BHP, which is easily done.

 

Ive got a bluefin sitting on my desk ere ready and waiting for her

Where do you get ford motorsport tubular manifold from??

Jim

 

Good choice!

I believe you can get the ford motorsport manifold from Ellmer motorsport in Germany. They sell on Ebay sometimes. NathR will be able to tell you more.

Cheers Paul

Gonna leave it a bit i think... Still got a lot to do on my S2 before spending any serious money on the Focus...

Hoping to get it on sunday ill post some pics...

Do any of the focus rs lot go to meets? Herts/Essex that sort of area?

Jim

 

Yes, Guido of Ellmer Motorsports is where I got mine from. He sometimes sell's them on ebay and there's a few threads on FFOC about them.

Me and Paul go to the Norfolk meets

 

Might pop up there with you guys one week....

Do you have a link to that thred?

Cheers

James

Thought you said it only had 7000 miles on the clock.
Auto trader says 13000.

or is it the wrong picture.

 

thats wat i thought

 

That was about 3 weeks ago's them links change as autotrader updates there site.

it now got 7900 on the clock.

Thanks,

Jim.

 

still not bad to do 900 miles in less than two weeks.
so it will soon be at 13000 anyway.
But that is whats its there for to enjoy. So happy motoring.
My brother has the Focus RS and his is always in bed (garage)
he dont like putting the miles on.

 

You buy them to drive them in my book

Jim

 

I do drive it but not always.

It gets used everyday when my wife uses it to get to work and back, but if my van is available she will use that to go to work in. She does 40 miles a day so im trying to keep it below average miles for obvious reasons.

Saying that it makes me wonder why i bother as dealer offered me £600.00 more than a friends that did 10,000 miles more.
Mine is in mint condition for a car with 23,000 miles so surley the condition should mean more to a buyer than the mileage.

What do you think?
