WILDB · 25-03-2012, 12:42 AM

Im thinking red or black, and maybe also a Mountune esk stripe.

Sorry for the crap quality i no longer has Photoshop and they were rushed.

**Peuty** · 26-03-2012, 11:09 PM

Hawt.

I'd paint the calipers yellow personally.

Had a massive cruise up here yesterday, 19 XR5's, 8 RS' and a cpl of XR4's
Heres my car with my mate RS at Tamborine..... i really want an RS, if not a Quaife. The people that rag on the RS being over priced need to go for a run in one and see and hear them go

with a nice exhaust its a noise you need to here.

And heres the gang that attended

blueoval · 02-04-2012, 06:37 PM

That's a massive turn out. I bet it was good fun being in that lot.

**DJM83** · 02-04-2012, 06:41 PM

Yeah was a top day thats for sure.

blueoval · 02-04-2012, 06:43 PM

I tell you what, those late model Focus's look the goods. Sure the RS is exy by most budgets, but I bet its one of the best FWD handling cars on the market.

kenz · 02-04-2012, 06:44 PM

so how long will it be before there's an RS in your garage?

There's a white one I see most mornings heading from the city to the northside, looks pretty tough on the road

If i get an RS, ill be single and eating noodles

, i really shouldnt hang around guys that own em. When its time to upgrade in 12-18mths time i will consider one.
Shav, yeah they really well sorted thats for sure, but with a Quaife fitted to an XR5 they are pretty bloody good aswell.

ConradP · 02-04-2012, 07:39 PM

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

What club is this?

Melb needs more focus fans :(

**DJM83** · 02-04-2012, 08:43 PM

Was a combined cruise with the XR5OC and RSOCA.

Samurai_Chris · 02-04-2012, 09:27 PM

DJ.. Havn't been on XR5OC for months.. Are terri's invited. Am working for Ford now, and my work car is an XR6.. Allowed to tag along in a taxi?

WILDB · 02-04-2012, 11:21 PM

I did.

**DJM83** · 01-05-2012, 07:15 PM

Bought some of these today (Axle Bolts)

They are from a Volvo XC90 and they stop the driveline 'click. Ive had the Ford fix (Loctite applied) Seems to have fixed mine, but many others it hasnt so i purchased a set anyway.

**DJM83** · 13-05-2012, 02:48 PM

Couple of new pics.

ConradP · 13-05-2012, 08:46 PM

Your numberplate has ST on it :O? Just a sticker though, not a special limited type huh :(?

**DJM83** · 13-05-2012, 09:07 PM

Keen eye will see the Focus STOC sticker on the windscreen, my kind UK mate sent me 2, so i chopped the ST out and put if on my plate.

**DJM83** · 14-05-2012, 04:18 PM

Got a DSCi intake going on just waiting for it to come off the current owners car. hopefully not too long. The intake that was getting made has been shelved

DZFord · 14-05-2012, 05:22 PM

DJM83, tell me more about the Axle Bolts. I hate the Focus driveline click / clunk. I understand that not every car has it but mine certainly does.

Will those bolts fit all models?

**DJM83** · 27-05-2012, 05:38 PM

New intake, hopefully fitted tommorrow along with RS ECU cover. Brings filter down behind foglight, just gotta be careful of big puddles.

**DJM83** · 02-06-2012, 05:16 PM

Simota is gone, in its place is an RS ECU cover and dreamscience intake.

blueoval · 04-06-2012, 02:30 PM

Do you notice an improvement with the new intake Dallas?

**DJM83** · 04-06-2012, 02:48 PM

Shed loads mate, a lot better mid range power (This intake was designed for my tune, same company)
Feather the throttle and you get a nice turbo whine, lay the boot in and theres no hesitation compared to the old intake and it revs a lot smoother (open pod behind fog light)

rancidpunx · 04-06-2012, 03:17 PM

Nice work mate.

blueoval · 04-06-2012, 03:29 PM

That's good to hear. I've often been skeptical of aftermarket CAI's but if you have found significant improvements worth mentioning it goes to show the marked improvements a mod like this has with your car.

Have timed yourself in a 0-100kph sprint before and after?

Yeah me to, ive had an aftermarket one on since just after i purchased. This one is much better, but in driving rain at 100kph it can get a tiny bit wet (Im thinking of putting the air deflectors for the factory I/C back in). This intake was designed for my tune and if you look at an RS this is almost identical in design with the top pipe.

I never timed it, but i think im going to have to try with this intake now. Also need to get it on the dyno again as a few changes have been made since it last went on.

**DJM83** · 11-06-2012, 12:58 PM

Bought a phone mount today as i intended to use it for Lakeside happy laps this weekend (Turns out i may not be able to anyway

: )
Anyway here is a quick vid using my HTC, sound isnt the best

-Note its public roads so there is no big speeds, hence the short shifts in there
