Lovely looking motor. I made a replica of this for Forza 2 using the FastFord feature last year. Its one of the closest reps i've seen on Forza 2 if i say so myself. Its just missing the logo on the bonnet, and the spray systems one on the bumper. Its even got the same size wheels/tyres and is RWD pushing 450hp. I used the spec page from the FF feature.





Anywho, lovely focus guys, and it looks a heck of alot meaner with the RS kit on. Top work!

What happened to this at POD, why didnt whoever was driving let off the throttle when it started to slip at the start of its drag run, Im guessing the plate was melted through by the end of the 1/4? Looks amazing in the metal, would love to see it perform Is a low 12 possible?

woolford

Yes is possible. The clutch broke bad I was told. Spoke to him at pod. Nice bloke

il let the person driving tell what happened if he wants to but from what i no it never slipped till he hit 3rd gear at that point he had to continue i dont blame him at all because it only would off gone when i had ago or at ford fair the next day lik it done it at just over 15 seconds with only 1st and second gear working properly at 90 mph so the clutch is getin sorted with a tripple plate job hopefuly dropping the gearbox tomorrow

Sorry I missed ya call yesterday Ian, try again today when you're free

Glad you're getting the Focus sorted, I'll be up to see you very soon. Need to pop to Warrington for a tailgate anyway

Ginge !

ian the car looks the nuts mate, fair play to ya getting it all sorted after the ring as i know how you felt at that time but seems to be sorted now

looks MUCH better aswell as to be said though might be a idea to get a few extra panels for next year

we need to all catch up before the next ring trip and have a few beers before one of the shows

looks very very good mate

macca33

Ian with the new wings on the front have you got close to full lock yet?

Have you tried 10" wheel on the back yet? Well it be a 265 tyre.. Thanks..

COCHYN

When I had a go the full lock does appear to be ten times better than how Ian described it before. But still a ball ache at times I should imagine. He also fitted some spacers on the back to give the extra width, but I believe he said he's still going for the 10" wide wheel

COCHYN

No skyline box yet lol, just a very well proven one
Should have some progress to report when Ian gets back from bonny scotland in a week or so

I love that video man, still quite lucky though

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Watching the slow motion on that, you kept the front wheels pointing the right way the whole time, as its moving left to right you can see you matching it with steering angle the other way until there just isnt lock left anymore!

COCHYN

He brakes and touches the grass on the right side, game over then. But still, class smash and came off very lucky. Christ, I'll be the only RWD Focus after Ian converts his

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Yeah he broke at the as we were just wiggling around still and he couldnt get hold of it and we were now approaching the next corner, I think it was for the best that he did so as it was a case of it being better to brake and risk it spinning than to not brake and plough head on into the wall at the next corner where we couldnt make the corner.

PS

It felt even more violent side to side in the car than it looks in the video!

COCHYN

I'm sure, those seats of his gives yours ass and hips a right good pounding
