j_jza80 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I think he has raced and beaten a Supra in his Focus, And wants to know what spec the car is. it was probably an NA auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jackw432 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Great cars, definitely was not NA auto .... and it was very close up actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I do like the RS focus in green, very nice What mods have you done to the focus mate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 My neighbour owns a Focus RS, it's easily quicker than my NA 5spd, at sub 100mph I would bet they're not too far off a totally stock TT. They're good fun to drive and don't handle too bad for FWD... I don't like the diff though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jackw432 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I do like the RS focus in green, very nice What mods have you done to the focus mate ? Revo Stage 5 , running around 440 bhp Got a bigger Borg Warner turbo in (S200). Quite a few cars running GT30's & a couple GT35's though.

Guest jackw432 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 My dad used to have an XR2i when he was younger! Still admire the old Escort RS Cosworths greatly, they are very nice. Not really up on my knowledge of Supras (dare I say it on a supra forum ) but my god , the one I saw sounded out of this world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jackw432 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Certainly are I hear the Supra engines are pretty much bullet proof, even at quite high power?! Do you reckon so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Some of the Yanks have managed over 1000hp on the dyno on a totally stock engine block. In practice the stock engine certainly seems to be good for over 700hp. The auto transmission will take over 500lb/ft and the 6 speed manual can cope with anything you throw at it, plenty run over 800 lb/ft through it. They're a great looking car, that is eminently tunable and very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jackw432 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Wow. The RS standard internals seem good for about 420bhp lol, quite a difference. In terms of tuning ; how expensive/what is needed to get from stock to around 500-600bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 You can get to circa 450hp with the stock turbos if you have high lift cams too. After that you're looking at £10k plus for a 500-600hp setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 A friend of mine has an RS Focus. Great cars and handle like they're on rails. My first car was a mk3 XR3i. Bought it at 16 and stripped it down, did all the paint preparation and a mate's dad resprayed it back to it's former glory. Later on the piston rings gave up so I bought a second hand engine and rebuilt that, then swapped them over. Also had a Fiesta RS Turbo. It was superchipped to 160bhp and would pull into the red in 5th. That was a great street car for it's day. I'd love to have a Series One RS Turbo as a garage queen. Still love those cars.

JackyBoi Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 As above, easily 10k+ if you're wanting much more than 500bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
