cheers i wonderd how that worked

Nice.

 

Those are really some great shots, love the license plate, how much did that set you back or are they show plates?

 

Was this you down Thurrok mate?

darc

 

It was just the way the message was typed.

 

lol............... ok

 

Most likely. What do you drive

 

That is really impressive, would be good to see your car in action. I thought 380hp was the limit on that turbo.

Im not sure tbh, Im not really clued up the dyno differences with 2wd and 4wd. Only going by my own experiences, tuned classic scoobies are quick, and evos aint all that once rolling in a straight.

Looking at your sig you have a quick classic, we should meet up one saturday or something.

 

yeah mate view my garage i drive a modded Mica blue My00 Classic,

its capable of High 11s

If you see me down there give me a flash and stop for a chat, as long as the weather is ok ill be there Sat

No ... They are for real

Just a slighty mis spaced R50 MFG officer

 

Cool, I will keep an eye out for you, dont think I will be there next saturday though as im clubbing, but my partner in crime in the other white k1 will most likely be there.

That plate ranks up there with some of the best for its cheekiness. Reminds me of a M3 driver whose plate translated to "tax me"

 

Are you quite sure about that....

Steve

 

positive.

Stage 1 cupra with 310bhp is quicker than evo fq330 once rolling.

 

I have been looking at one recently and am quite tempted, as i am in the Forces i have been offered a new tax paid one for £25,095 for the base car, £695 for lux pack 1 and 460 for half leather and last of all £650 for the green colour.

So in summary, should i go for it(currently have a modded Hawkeye STi) as it would be taking up nearly all my savings etc.

Would i always want to go back to Subaru as i feel now that its getting a bit "boy racer" would the focus not just be the same????

What fuel does it use and what are the service intervals, or would i be better just getting the standard white one with lux pack???
also do you reckon the residuals will be good as its a limited run??

Is there any issues yet??? waiting on the guy phoning me back tomorrow to see what is on offer as they have a cancelled order in blue sitting there.

Decisions,decisions.

Get yourself over to Focus RS Owners Club as they will have the answers for you but I thought the forces discount was better than this, there is a thread about forces discount if you search.

Services intervals are 10k/1 year, Ford are offering a 3 year servicing deal with 2 extra years of AA cover for £542 which is very good.

No major issues yet.

There are quite a few sitting out there now so shop around, a few dealers post on the forum above.

How does it drive compared to the modded STI?

I would say do not spend nearly all your savings on a car, but maybe a tax paid deal makes it almost free motoring? My cousin says that even depreciation disasters like V6 Vectras were not too bad considering the tax situation. I would certainly not blow your savings without driving it though, that will expose the hype/reality vs the STI.

 

John,

My thoughts exactly, is it over hyped???? although there does seem a lot of cars for sale at over inflated prices on pistonheads at the moment.

Maybe i am letting my heart rule my head as i really like the lok of them, maybe will wait till the hype dies down and then rethink.

My misus is sick of me going on about this and now just says do what you want,lol

Mac

 

What spec is your STI sitting at. Residuals should be great going by the last focus RS, and the last RS wasnt as well loved by the media as this new one is!

 

i think if your expecting it to be BETTER than a MODDED sti you will probably be disapointed
can run on 95 ron i run on 99
servising is every 12000 or yearly
its a great car but you have already got a great car

 

A well modded Hawkeye is fantastic though, I ignore what reviewers write as they seem to rate many average cars far too highly IMHO. None of them seem to be able to say anything bad about Porsches which often have a silly front end bob and break more than they should (two friends have broken engines), BMWs that bounce/have dodgy electrics and whose brakes wilt on a country road, Focus RS which is the Millenium Falcon meeting front wheel drive and honest guv not cost cutting, Golf GTI which bounces/has little steering feel/poor ride comfort and has electrics worse than a Fiat, GTR which has silly dealer maintenance costs/schedules that ruin it in some ways as a cheap Porsche, they also think all Subarus are ultra reliable when we know that is not the case.

 

340Bhp/400lbs Torque loads of stuff, check out my garage!!!!!

All the sensible stuff done, ie defis, brakes, etc only real thing to do would be AST's or BC coilovers, nothing wrong with the ones on it but it would make it the ultimate car, have just reduced it to £13700.

Mac

 

Keep it!

 

sounds great
