Anyone know of a modified green Focus RS (often in Essex)
I've seen a highly modified green Focus RS in and around Thurrock / Lakeside recently, lots of green details including black and green wheels, some green and black stickers etc. Sounded pretty loud for a Focus too.
Wondered if it was well known or was on any enthusiasts forums?

I had a quick scan but to be honest searching "Essex Focus RS green" comes up with millions of results! I'm not so fussed as to actually joining another forum, just would be interested to know more about the car - looked like it could have been quite a nice project for someone.

I know a guy with a Focus ST with an RS engine running at 420bhp. It's a bit of a beast to drive around towns but on a roll its an awesome machine.
It's amazing what a decent suspension setup will do.
Things have moved on a lot and I know many on here think you can't put more than 200bhp through a FWD car, they are wrong.

It's was shockingly good funny enough and could easily handle more, obviously with the traction control off and try a quick get away it would be clouds of smoke, but once rolling it was pretty dam good. Wet was interesting but not impossible.
I know a few are heading for late 500's this winter so next year should be interesting to see what they are like.
