Default Following the new trend!

Seems like everyone recently bought a Focus RS Mk 1.
Well.....

So did we

Got it just before summer so here we go.

Number 4225, 98k km, manifold, H&R springs, Blueflame, Scangauge II, Dreamscience, etc.
We added the ST170 lights we bought several years ago, smoked repeaters, mudflaps, seat covers, colour coded surround and doorhandles, some new carpets and gave it a complete service.
We got some US rear lights and had the steering wheel retrimmed but didn't take any pictures recently.
Don't really have big plans for it as we really want to get the EsCos on the road again...

First proper testdrive was straight from Belgium to Ford Fair. Luckily everything was

Cheers guys

Didn't planned on getting one this year but the guy really wanted to get an Mk 2 so was quite desperate to sell.

gjh: If Imperial would have been available on the Mk 2 it would have been a no-brainer for us

Steering wheel in the picture is just a normal Focus sw. We had the original one retrimmed as it looked worn and we don't like the blue either...

Looks like this now (sorry for the cr*ppy phone pic)
