bluefin, exhaust and a K&N

was too cheap to say no too, and i must say i'm glad i didnt. drives like a new car....and its very quick

like a civilised version of an RS turbo.

not to sold on the lights, will put up photos for a poll this week some time, but dead happy with the rest of it.

p.s. anyone know the name and the colour code of the focus RS?

one pic for now

nope, the owner was an ex SCC customer though....so rob knows the car....and it was a bargain. its had one owner from new, full service history etc...and been looked after just done a few miles
its one of the last models built with the updates.

yeah, didnt really feel photos were needed as the do all look the same they have such road presence though, and you dont get to see many on the road.

Excellent.

How much of a bargain if you don't mind me asking?

Looks nice but it would have to be cheap if it had done over 100k cos not many people would buy it. Good bargain to the right person though. Well done Rory.

only ever been in 1 FRS.. this is my mates one that has had a lot of work done by SCC I think.. things an animal must be well over 300bhp and I am amazed at how it still gets the power down through the front wheels..

Great cars and have noiced how cheap you can pick them up for these days..

if you can get a 66k one for Ł10k you should buy it....have seen a few cheap ones for sale, but they often have a few owners and arent as tidy as you would expect.

i agree the honda is a good car, but you have to rev it to get it going, and i'm too lazy for that

also the FRS is way more special

its sold Ginge.. was advertised on Autotrader.. Would have bought it to sell on and make a few quid..

I love the road presence that the FRS has.. just looks mean in comparisin to the average Focus.. Colour as well

Get a water gauge in it..

Nice choice

Nice one I loved my FRS and would have another my only grudge was the lairy interior and only one colour choice, I hope the next FRS is as good to drive with a more subtle interior and a white colour option
