They should prescribe a drive in a mk 2 when you want a pick up after a crappy day a work. It works for me 😂

I just wondered whether any of you guys had purchased a space saver spare wheel fir you mk2 , if so which one and what size , as I do not have a spare and want to get one asap , have seen some on eBay , but I’m in sure as to which one , ??
@jimmyjt16Ай бұрын
@@leestromaine7651 might be wrong but I think any mk2 focus space saver will fit on the rear of the RS. If you get a puncture on the front just swap with the back👍

Absolute banger of a video! Simple, but it captures the essence of owning a Focus RS mk2 and the enjoyment that comes with it. I'm 17 at the moment and I really hope I get to drive or even own one of these someday. Thanks for the video, mate!
@CarFocused15 күн бұрын
Hey man thanks for watching! I know the feeling, at 17 it was a dream for me to own a Fiesta RS Turbo - a year later I managed to get one! But they were a lot cheaper back then than what a Mk2 Focus RS is now ☹️
@bastiaanborkent568215 күн бұрын
@@CarFocused Yup, the Focus RS is pretty pricey so I dont expect to get one in the coming 10-15 years. And by then, they will probably be even more expensive and rare in a good condition. For now, my goal is to buy a Mondeo ST220 around my 18th birthday (December). You can get a pretty good one for 5K so that is achievable. So the RS is on the list, but it will take a long time!

I was meant to leave a comment on your last video but never got around to it. I have always been a Ford fan, and I always wanted an RS Escort when I was a kid. I had a mk1 focus 1.8, and when I heard the RS was coming. I just knew I had to get one. When I first saw the mk2, it became my goal in life to own one. I remember in 2009, sitting in an ultimatum green RS with the green cloth seats in a showroom and knowing it was going to be the only thing I work my ass off for. I was in the showroom sadly, signing 3 years of my life away on a diesel fiesta zetec s and not the RS I had just sat in. Am 37 now, and nope. I've never owned a set of keys to any RS. However, I am saving up and currently sitting at £2300 and I intend to be purchasing one in the next two years.

Hi Gary, stumbled onto your channel as I've just bought a white RS, just like yours but totally standard out of a 1 owner, private collection. It's in Ford having a bit of a recommission. Despite very humble beginnings, I've worked hard and have owned a few old skool, fast fords, Porsche 911s and even a Ferrari but I am always drawn back to the Blue Oval. I originally wanted another classic RS2000 or RS Turbo but I think i'd end up more concerned about corrosion (had that feeling before with an Etype) I also think the market for 70s and 80s cars is a bit overheated at the mo. As people get older the classics demanding higher money shifts with it I guess. The Mk2 RS just looks so special and the need to keep on top of little things as they crop up, works for me too. Anyways just wanted to reach out and thank you for the content. Do you leave links to some of the upgrades you've done? I'm specifically thinking the springs and spacers set up you are running, which is subtle, but looks great. Also, my car has a bit of corrosion on the aluminium rocker cover from when it was left out at one stage, any ideas on getting that back to stock (in situ) or sourcing a replacement. Thanks - your passion for the motor shines through.
@CarFocusedАй бұрын
Hi mate, thank you for the message. Good to hear you’ve made your way into Mk2 RS ownership. They are special cars and a pleasure to own 😊 I use eibach springs and spacers. The spacers I use are 15mm front and 20mm rear. With regards to your rocker cover corrosion, you can either buy a cover plate from the likes of mountune, or try some autosol polish on it 👍🏻

I’ve tried mate but can’t quite get it right. Jonny at FJRS put some small clips on the edges on the other side which cured it, need to do it on this one. I think Ford used foam strips on the edges to bulk it out a bit from factory on the RS but they wear away over time and pop out 🤦🏼♂️

Bollocks to those who criticise storing it away for the winter. It’s the only way to hold onto it. Cars like this will never be made again. 3door, manual, decent engine that growls and snarls. A raw driving experience. Cars now are becoming further and further removed from this. There’s nothing to look forward to, so yeah if you want to hang onto it garage it over winter and don’t wet weather drove it either I would say.
