Show your past RS’s

[bobcat]

Yes I know it’s a Ford Focus Mk3 Forum…… BUT I’m thinking of things to talk about, so if you have owned previously a Ford RS then tell us or show us what you had or still have. So who will start it off then ?

First RS1600 in 1982..

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

OK Bob.

If you could have just one of them back, Which one?.

Id go for the Mk2 Focus I think.

[bobcat]

@DaveRS3, now that’s a tough question, but I would choose the Focus Mk3. simply because it has the power when needed the 4 wheel traction (never noticed any pull or push) contentious point I liked the 4 doors which when added up it makes for a good all around car.
I just wish the red Escort RS 2000 4×4 had a more powerful engine the 150+ish engine was ok but the 4×4 system slowed it down. Would loved to have had 200 bhp in there. The Focus RS Mk1 was an animal and could be a handful in the wet, you really needed to be alert when pushing on. The Focus RS Mk2 was truly a beast of a car is handling was brilliant the engine sublime. Totally awesome but sadly pipped at the post by the Focus RS Mk3
