Sorry that fake Carbon and decals looks horrendous I’m all for the power upgrades though epic.

[@jamieb8537]

Car Focused well that’s it everybody has their opinions on modifications, If he’s happy that’s all that matter what a car though 🔥🔊

[@nepaleseman1010]

I agree more power and more subtle looks everyday, unless you own a Lamborghini.

[@503redbull]

The center console is real I have one for me Focus ST

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Awesome car. Shame about the carbon wrapped tat which should be reserved for Corsas. Might have to get that gearknob though.

[@waynester71]

Not really a fan of the stickers and fake carbon but....it’s nice to watch a video on the Mk3 that’s not about reliability issues and more about performance upgrades. As an owner of a Mk2 I just love anything with an (Ford ) RS badge 💙💚👌🏼

[@bradleyrobo6507]

Came across this channel randomly what great content, recently brought a 16 plate golf r manual, sometimes regret not getting dsg but nothing better than a manual thrashing it round country roads

[@dannyrobbo]

Great video Gary. That does seem like one properly sorted RS so Kudos to Ian... 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@chucka187]

Nice setup. Big difference with the lsd. Glad mine came with it in 2018 👊🏻. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@kwa_nguyen]

awesome car. sounds amazing and very unique . He must love waking up every day knowing that he owns that car.

[@michaelhesford5191]

Brilliant video !! Love it ! 🤩💙

[@gerrard8djc]

Nice quick car. Loved the launch control

[@hdmk213]

Thanks to Ian for sharing his car and great video Gary (barring the wind noise). 😁 The only remaining upgrade I'm tempted by is the KW v3 adaptive coilovers (already got the DSC controller with stock springs / shocks), was the difference really night and day Gary?

[@lukeandchloe]

Love the car but I do think urs looks better , love to get both cars timed from a launch to see the difference. Great video as always 👍

[@hollywood4l1fe]

Great video guys!

[@adrianbenedek218]

Great vid! Where can I get one of those blue RS hoodies from? Looks mint 👌

[@2595220]

what an absolute machine!!! i bet you really want to tune yours to that now lol. nice video too :)

[@jasonbougie8093]

Any idea where to get those side mirror indicators? I wouldn't mind getting those.

[@5598JC]

Hi can you advise who makes the rear diffuser

[@Kaiju.FL5]

Does your RS gets creaking sounds from the interior near the door panels?

[@jasona2484]

Hi, did the tune prove reliable, no engine problems?

[@lav773]

Looks AWESOME 👊🕶

[@xr2fan655]

Where did you get your mudflaps? And when you cover the work done, can you itemise the stuff so we know the price for upgrades, decals and interior stuff please.

[@eddb2994]

Looks like it drives amazingly, makes me want one😂 sounds the nuts too! Really not a fan of the styling but each to their own!

[@simontaylor3211]

What a beast! 😁👌

[@mlukubone7134]

Looks so composed. No bouncing up/down. Hint hint #KW

[@petekane91]

Great video! What mount do you use for the go pro ?

[@petekane91]

Car Focused thanks mate! Been looking at getting one for a while and that is proper stable ! Good job bud

[@davidm6975]

Where’s the shift light from?

[@503redbull]

Geez!!! Give this man a trophy for having truly fully loaded beautiful Focus RS!! Truly amazing!

[@60viking]

I need one of these. I'm not afraid of used so maybe I can find a affordable one. Sure don't need the fast one I'm 73 so I will have fun anyhow.

[@rswayne2462]

Where do they sell steering wheels like that

[@1stWorldProblemsSolved]

PDtuning FTW! Don't forget engine mounts they help a ton!!!

[@oceanhome2023]

What is the Flat Foot shifting on this car ?

little chav for me! love how the guy has a matching top also! mk2 will always be king!

The new ST may be worth a punt 🙌

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

i love to put the m400 kit but warrenty doesnt run out til july 2021 damn warrenty car looked quick good vid gary cheers steve :-)

[@ashcosmo3854]

you'd be foolish to own an RS after the warranty period, says a lot considering the forums have a whole sticky thread dedicated to engine failures

[@yanxiazak8775]

Fcuk the warranty-the Best thing that you can do to this car is stage 2 (400whp)!

[@jmoth79]

KW coilovers, yeah?

[@michaelpower7473]

Excellent video.sounds unreal alot of pocket money spent on that rs.i think you'll find your self wanting more for your own rs ha ha

[@leesmall795]

@@CarFocused l would like to put mine next to yours to compare as mine is the same colour but has wide arch body kit on🤔

[@johnjackson12]

So how close would you say your car is to this as I know how aggressive those dreamscience maps are. I'm always skeptical about other bolt ons but that intake noise is worth getting just for the noise alone haha. Cool video tho and I bet your shopping list has grown after driving that

[@yanxiazak8775]

@@CarFocused this is just kw v3 or there is something else on top of that (I couldn't hear properly because of the wind noise :( )??

Who makes the rear diffuser didn't catch it in vid?

[@MahyarJavadi]

Where'd he get the Sequential Mirror indicators from!?!?!?

[@davidsimmons1767]

Check on the mk 3 Rs owners only group on Facebook, you can only get on there if you own one, a member has just had some made, only 10 sets to start with ( I’m one of the lucky 10) but he is going to be getting more produced, they arnt cheap though

[@garystratton8731]

Hi bud nice car. Out of interest you mention Forged internals. I am used to owning STI 2.0 which requires forging after 400BHP. What is the reliability of the RS at 400BHP? At what stage does it require forged internals and what cost you looking at? 👍

[@garystratton8731]

@@CarFocused ok so similar to an STI then. What power is your car running and has it been reliable at that. These are approx 350BHP stock aren't they so is it just a Remap and exhaust to reach 400BHP ?

[@garystratton8731]

@@CarFocused interesting!! Can I ask why and how they compare? 👍

[@Scott555ish]

Your description of the power delivery sounds very similar to my experiences between the DS Ultima's and Litchfield. The DS feels more punchy (once passed the lag/hesitation) but the Litchfield seems stronger at the top. Would you agree ? Litchfield is much better during warm up too. Much smoother than DS. I need to Google this tuner I think

[@Scott555ish]

@@CarFocused do you know what ultima3 Is targeted at or is it just refinement ?

[@keithstapleton7805]

Another great car, I have noticed the advancing maturity of their owners 😂.

[@keithstapleton7805]

Car Focused phew....😁

[@ianberry1713]

To be honest, it's looks awful. I thought a Burberry wearing teenager was going to emerge when the door opened. I'm sure it drives well, but give me an RS like yours Gary, any day of the week.

[@davidmontgomery8285]

Is the owner on Instagram would love to see more of the car👍👍

[@Gabensy]

Nice1

[@herpderp1662]

Looks like mine..... I thought mine was unique. Mines got carbon door handles too though. My carbons all chipped up too man, get used too it.

[@phatt180]

Nice mods, not a fan of all the carbon and stickers.

[@jameshedges3857]

Well my bank balance is going to take a hit now 😂😂

[@icebear_racing]

Far from a custom tune that mate, just modified flash which ever cobb supplier will do.

[@mistrydip2k]

Love that RS but somehow it just can’t beat the sound of the MK2 5 Pot ST/RS engine

[@mistrydip2k]

Very true. Still absolutely love the Focus MK3 RS and it’s my next car hopefully. One car that would always put a smile on your face👍🏽

[@ardienn]

now i understand that middle age crisis

[@5598JC]

Hi do you actually bother to reply to people

[@Senninha1960]

Looks like a 16 year old modded it!

[@RedPumarius]

A great car, but too much doors. The first and the second rs look much much better.

[@khfjvc4632]

Not a fan of the looks im afraid. Trying too hard i think there. But still a great car

[@daynight1921]

good a mk2 is mk2

[@connor45rm85]

Enjoy it while it holds together, utterly hopless engine

[@Wirefox1]

Buys a 30 odd grand car turns it into a chav car that looks like it crashed into a Halfords styling department. Absolutely gash.

christ thats awful!!!

Fake carbon is pointless. Bet its still a weapon to drive though. Possibly the ultimate midlife crisis car 😂

[@steeldevil98]

Just needs adidas tracksuit, furry dice, a underage girlfriend and a Terrace house to park it outside.oh don't forget the new engine when it fails.
