I had a play with an Rs in my TDi 130 (not quite 130 now ;) )

Nothing in it from standing to about 80 then it just starting to pull ahead(at that speed I was slowing down)

To say I was surprised would be an understatment :D

that fella hit the limiter twice, and i had serious running problems, about 180bhp if i remember correctly. as my n75 and MAF was poo.

I have since played with one and he didnt even bother once i hit 24psi :)

there is a modded one round cardiff with exhaust/fmic plus dunno what under bonnet with 'RS' sprayed onto the front mesh in white. Played with him a couple of times, he was a little surprised when he expected to leave me down the dual carrageway by penarth and was a little shocked when i blasted past :D MRs wasnt impressed tho, still got the brusie to show

I hear there's a pretty mean Focus RS sat in the Alcester area on the carpark of a company who will go un-named, who produce pipes and pipe fittings for industry..

..and I'm told it belongs to a mate of yours ;)

No plans to race it though!

My mate Chris has one, last RR was 279 bhp @ fly 283lbf-ft then he fitted a fancy exhasut manifold, now it goes like F*"K!! 13.7 1/4 mile. And it sounds Awesome!

Not keen on fordy's in general but the Focus RS is now in my cool ford list along with escort mk2 RS2000, escort Cos, 4x4 saph cos & RS200.

Now in Lincolnshire!
Standard Ibiza Cupra 20vt = 156bhp (and a little bit more!)
Standard Focus RS = 215bhp (and a little more!)

Might be me, but I would think the FRS would whip its arse...although the Ibiza is a fast little motor, Ive kept up many make of fast car! Nice to see suprise on the faces!!!!

Im with ya on that! My old standard Ibiza would keep up with LCR's, Boxters and alike, Its gearing is different, I could get 80mph out of 2nd...with a LCR and prob the RS the addition of 6th makes a difference, you need to do more and only get around 60mph.

In some ways I wish i'd have kept it!:(
