Focus Rs Engine Conversion!
#1
Had my car back from the shop for a few weeks now. Ford also know about it and have congratulated me on it, as its the only RS powered focus in Panther Black in the world.

Currently sits on 270bhp without Nitrous...but I'm not sure if I will use Nitrous, maybe just to purge into the intercooler...

Hope you like!

Oh, and the gold mesh is coming off...I didn't put it there, long story. And the RS badge is coming off the boot, there will be a 1.4 badge going back on...just to confuse ppl! LOL

Which reads...

Quote:With 4501 Focus RS models built, only 2147 were actually sold in the United Kingdom. Most were sold to careful owners and collectors who take pleasure in maintaining the status and originality of this rare edition of the Ford RS line.

The Focus RS was available in one colour only, Ford Racing Blue. But before it went into production, Panther Black and Diamond White versions were used in its development. These cars known as “test mules”, were tested by world renowned racing drivers Francois Delecourt and Colin McRae.

The only Panther Black issued RS was a genuine scratch built development car, completely different to the ST170 and basic Focus structures. It was built with near all the parts the Focus RS consists of today.

Its registration was X926 YOO, which was either sold for a substantial sum to a private collector, or like the fate of the others was destroyed once the developing tests were completed.

My Focus

This is NOT a genuine Focus RS, however all key parts were harvested out of a damaged RS in order to convert a basic Focus into a unique, one of a kind Focus RS.
Out of 4501 made, this is the only road going RS powered Focus in the country, in Panther Black...

:lol: That's cool, havn't seen that before. Not been on the net for quite a while, so forgive me for not updating ppl more often! Cheers guys! :D

Hope you all like it. Its currently 270bhp, so 0-60 should be around 5 or less seconds....we'll see!

Wish I could come to one of your shows in Canada/states so I can compete against some of your cars...would be a laugh! :D

You know there'll be a steady stream of NA Focus owners looking to spank it while sitting in that car, and I'm not referring to spanking the gearshift, either ;)

Congrats on owning one of the pimpest Focuses on the planet :D
