Well,after only 4 months of ownership I'm chopping the 330S in against a 10 plate Focus RS!

It was done for a number of reasons but in short the Focus made me fall in love with cars again - something which has been sadly lacking recently.

I'll still be around as most of you are a good bunch and this thread is gonna run for some time yet!!

 

good luck renny

Pop back whenever you feel like...(most usually do!)

 

renny: enjoy the RS for the summer cos come the winter you'll be wishing you had that 4WD back lol


good luck with the RS, what colour did you go for? attention seeking green?

 

Those RS Focus's do keep catching my eye

Good luck Renny with the new motor. Let us know what you think

Mick

 

As for the winter - yes I agree the FWD will be a challenge,particularly with any snow,the Subaru was excellent in the snow (Hawkeye seemed better for some reason?)

I'm sure I'll manage - I'm not keeping a car I'm not happy with just for a few months when I just have to drive a bit sensible.

As for the colour

 

Thinking of selling my mint 330s if anyone is interested white March 09 Bluetooth PD springs apart from that totally standard.
12500 miles.
Had full short engine at 8600 miles runs fine.
Needs nothing but a good home.
Make me a sensible offer been offered strong money from a dealer so will probably go down that route but see what ya think.
Cheers.

Cheers Mick - I'll pop in from time to time and I'll certainly let you know what I think.

I will miss the 4WD but it's not everything.

The money I spent on the 330S as well

 

Really liking that Mark

Any suspension mods?

 

I looked at the FRS, bit too much looks wise. so have gone for a new white Renault Megane RS250 Cup.
Ive got the Grand Cherokee for the snow

Always sigh when I look at a well sorted hatch. They still are a good looking, capable car, issues aside.

Lee

 

Yeah the FRS isn't for the shy retiring type!

Drives well though and sounds surprisingly good when the motion pedal is pressed.

 

I'm getting lost with your cars Lee!!


Is this as well as or instead of the R26? Or are they the same and I just know nuffink of Renaults!!

Micklehead next time??

 

That's the second hatch STI owner we have lost to a Focus RS on here...I am definetly not taking one for a test drive now

 

The force is strong Dave!

 

I've had my Hatch STi since I bought it new in Sep 08. Tomorrow I'm trading it in against a new Legacy Diesel. I'm not getting old, but the kids are getting bigger and we need more room. Simple as that. Its done 15k of faultless fun miles. Took it out for a blast this evening - I'm really going to miss it . Took a mate with me and gave him a drive. Grinned from ear to ear. Maybe when the kids don't want to go with us on holiday I'll get an STi again. Still a scooby owner though!!
Will still look on here. Don't suppose anyone will want to see pics of the new car though

 

I wouldn't bank on that mate - the Legacy is an awesome car

 

Without a doubt, get them pics up.

Good luck with the Leggy

 

i ran a Legacy diesel for 12mths, loved it. Trouble free motoring. Fast for diesel and quite suprising how capable it is for a big car.

Lee

 

Haha! Ive had a bit of a change this year Neil,new job,new cars etc.. Will be selling the R26 and buying the new model. Should've just got the new model in the first place, saved myself abit of cash!!
Wouldve come up to Micklehead last time but couldnt drag myself out in the rain.

Lee

 

I all I seen on this hatch tread somebody took there rear bumper off which I have to do this weekend anybody got any pointers I know some of you have service manuals maybe its described in there any info would be great

 

That would have been me

It's held on with those retaining clips only - 6 or 8 if memory serves me. You then just need to work your way round the car clicking it out from the locators.

I'd suggest you contact RB5 286 on here and after a small donation to the Richard Burns foundation, he'll send you a link to the workshop manual.

It comes in very handy!

 

Thanks for that I will ask for the Service manual so cheers

 

Hi Guys.
I have a Haywood and Scott 2.5" straight pipe into 3" back box for sale if interested.
PM me.
Its still twin exit both sides 100mm so looks the same as PP one but its twin box so each exit has its own silencer....sounds awsome.
Better flow but no need for a re-map as its still 2.5" middle as PP kit.
its the best sounding pipe I could find.
It is pretty loud.
2 months old only.
Best offer secures.
cost me about£750 for all the bits to make it all work.
