I had a mk1 rs, was mental in its day ! Torque Steer was brutal. Modified to a sensible 285bhp, was my daily driver to work. Got lots of attention. Miss it.

I bought one in 2004, build number 1705 was 290/300bhp owned it for about 4yrs and was a fantastic reliable car, great memories. They share very few body panels to the mk1 focus.

I have the svt here in North America ( highest trim for the mk1) and that thing with the 6 speed is unbelievably fun! Only 170hp, so for me the RS ( we never got ) is what I’ll always want.

Finally Ricky 💪🏽 I would of offered mine for a feature but it's sat there with a broken gearbox at the moment 😂. The pistons are forged, the conrods aren't but they are beefed up compared to a standard 2.0 zetec. Rest of the specs on the car were spot on 😁 Noticed a hesitation when on partial throttle, usually happens when the recirc valve spring is too stiff 👍🏽

I had a mk1 1.6 and an RS and you’re spot on, the driving position is awful! That being said they’re proper playful motors, bags of lift off over steer! Gear shift was the best I’ve come across too. Will defo be entering as massively regretting selling it.

I loved these from the first time I seen them. I also remember they were also somewhat affordable at one point. Now there worth more than a new RS for good ones. But I don't see anyone losing money on them.
@ErikS-2 ай бұрын
2:50 - the torque steer of the focus RS is a lot less than you suggest. Because of the "revo-knuckle", the torque steer is reduced big time.
