remember when I first had a go against a new RS. Knew the guy from before when he had his ST, pulled up behind him at the lights and he noticed me. Shouted out his window asking me if I wanted to play with a massive smile on his and orcourse I said yeah.

Was just running a remap at the time, so off we went and I subsequently was up his chuff, then as the dual carriage way cleared went past him with pure ease. Pulled up next to each other at the next roundabout and he said, "what you done to it" :lol:

Class moment, you should have seen his face, and I was 3 man up. My mate in the back wound down the video to rub extra salt into his wounds. He said he was gonna tune his, but havent seen him for a while. Im sure I will run into him when it starts getting warmer again.

All this and I didnt even break the speed limit ;)

Rumours are about that mountune will soon release a 370bhp package for the focus RS which wont void your warranty!

Trouble with the RS,s are that to tune them up to that is prob gonna be 2k - 2.5k., and that wont get you an IC or a TBE. Will have to wait and see of course and they might make me eat my words :confused:

True, although you are more likely to get your money back on the mods when you sell the car without having to sell the bits off seperately like you would with a cupra.

To be fair, the Focus is 500cc and 1 cylinder up on out 2.0T 4 cyl units. It should therefore have more ultimate potential.

Very true, the equivelant VAG 2.5 5 cyl engine blows the RS's engine out of the water, 460hp on the standard turbo, 600nm of torque :drool:

You do need to re-post a better pic of the diffuser like BLADES
Really hard to give an opinion on your pic, shoot from lower down.

Nice idea

:clap:

Ideally I would like to have two big twin tips for an exhaust, to make it stand out a bit more. Or maybe just one big massive round one like AMD's racecar

I think it keeps growing on me as it is.. Just needs a polish! ..
Would look alot better if you carried the black and white theme on to the spoiler and roof or something?
