Proper car guy's car this is. No silly big wings, hanging front spoilers, silly ricer stickers all over the windows. Just a nice clean 500Hp hot hatch, top notch

[@SChapps]

He’s clearly very passionate about that car, that’s been done properly, and it’s beautifully maintained

[@calum2403]

He's actually an enthusiast rather than an attention seeker.

[@ianl7389]

Cheers for all of the replies guys. Some of them are 😂, especially the comment ‘father and son duo’!! Priceless! 😂😂😂 Chavvy car for an old boy! 😂😂😂 As always, everyone has and is entitled to their opinions so it’s a real interesting read; and I respect that. The car might not be to everyone’s tastes; and to what modifications have been done. I do totally get keeping cars in their ‘original’ form. This is also what I love to see on ‘some’ other cars. I’m personally not keen on side skirt extensions, bigger bumpers etc. But it might be to others. I do feel you can never slate a/any car personally until you’ve personally been out in one or driven one. Unfortunately, when the engine let go, I had no option but to rebuild regarding spending etc to the engine. Yes, I could of gone just for a basic rebuild, but I thought f..k it. The engine certainly can’t get any worse! Let’s be different! Syvecs is really the way to go with these cars running conservative or considerable bhp in front wheel drive. You really can put the power down. I do drive ‘enthusiastically’ in it at the ‘right’ places. Obviously this was filmed on public roads. I just don’t constantly bounce it off the rev limiter. No engine can’t or won’t survive that in time. Certainly enjoyed a couple of trackdays in it though; as well as being at shows. I do keep it clean; but it’s also not just a garage queen. Yes. I am a true enthusiast, and cars are a real passion of mine. Resale value of the car doesn’t interest me in one bit. If it was, I would of left the car completely original. You can buy particular cars and lose over half the value in just three years! I really haven’t done to badly in this respect, especially at the generous price I got it for in the first place. But I appreciate everyone’s comments, and your never going to please everyone. But that isn’t really the point. It’s my car, modified to my taste and I love it. I did also wear a mask during filming but it constantly kept on and on fogging up. Lastly, Luke is an absolute legend and a genuinely awesome guy. Cheers Chap 😀

[@hampshirephoto]

Thanks again buddy for making the video possible 🙌🏻

[@Wilkkid1]

Great car Ian she looks superb

[@danofficial117]

One of the reasons I love these cars is nearly everyone’s is slightly different in 1 way or another so definitely shouldn’t be kept standard, mine isn’t standard and nearly everyone I know has changed theres

[@Chris-nj1mr]

That's exactly how a focus RS should look! He's modified that perfectly. Living life fast recently had one on his channel the polar opposite of this, just horrendous! This has restored my faith in modified cars

[@calum2403]

Proper enthusiast, major respect to him!

[@blackflagpirate3444]

Best RS ever made 😍👍 Awesome sound,handling and looks 😉

[@greggsmith5391]

Haha is this father and son 😂. Nice motor 🤙

[@scott2495]

The wheels really suit the car

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Spoke with Ian for years but never had the pleasure of meeting him. So knowledgable and does things properly! Quality Car and a Real Petrolhead! Great video Luke 👌🏻

[@hampshirephoto]

Thank you!

Cheers Luke 👍

[@terrytulett6939]

Devil developments know what they are doing with an RS. Lovely build

[@petergalbraith3422]

Good video, you don't see many of these cars around any more, which is a shame really, the smiles per miles is massive! I've owned my Mk2 RS for 9 years now and I absolutely love it, it never ceases to put a smile on my face :)

[@Beardchanics]

Stunning build, congratulation to the owner a great display of dedication and attention to details there!

[@Easytiger4142]

Very clean and perfect example. Sits lovely no silly camber and a sweet ride height. Well done :) Great video

[@danielb662]

Best moded example ive seen...

[@CarFocused]

Nice video mate - obviously I have a lot of love for these cars. Looks mint - and great to see it isn’t plastered in airtec stickers!😁

[@phantom2k10]

Always have and always will love this beast.Future classic most definitely

[@Donovanthegoodthings]

Clean RS , good video

[@danielrawlings8090]

Great motor. Obviously a huge amount of love , tlc and knowhowgone into it .. A credit to you 😊

[@MatthewSmith-jy1sh]

A very tasteful build 👌👌👌 Would be good to see a mk1 on the channel

[@MrScoobycube]

Love the content 👌

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Super dope 🔥🔥🔥

[@rabmc]

That is perfect, not a huge fan of these cars generally but he has it sitting perfect, really done well and subtle, nails it with the wheels and height. Love the essentially it’s fwd, well hmmm no it’s fwd like permanently 😆🤔

[@MasonMountUrMum]

Why dose he look like hes going to school?😂

[@markosbourne5967]

Does

[@Yii00T]

That's mint for a 93k shell. Hats off to the lad. I've gotba 400bhp ST and is a completely different car to the RS due to compression ratios. ST spools quicker but both amazing cars and this has has a fair bit spent on it indeed. One thing I will say is mate get that foot down... nowhere even nearly gave you the full experience lol.

[@Ireland103]

Beautiful car,,,great video

[@lenep9985]

That is a good looking car....tastefully done

[@FireTwo]

Thank you also to Ian for a passenger ride in this beast last year, hopefully see you out and about when this lockdown is over!

[@Roadwarrior92]

Fantastic motor

[@LeggyPete]

Sounds good

[@stephenmartin2737]

What a car beautiful beast !!!

[@Gentlemen_london_]

One of the nicer examples 👌🎩

[@hampshirephoto]

It’s a beauty!

[@lil8386]

Very very nice motor - I prefer the green seats as for me it would be too dark in cabin ...

[@peterpresinal6237]

Customized this car in the crew 2 last night and made my calipers orange too! Lol

[@dougdunleavy8400]

That's cool that you brought your dentist along for a ride

[@easyerc2226]

very cool car cant beat the old 5 cylinder, hes built it properly and its nice to see someone who actually knows their car and hasnt just thrown a blank cheque at a company, not fan of the blue and yellow it doesnt go with the green that is all id change, shame ford didnt do black interior pastics though :(

[@antonyv8171]

Let JPdetails have this for a week. He would love to detail it and take it to the next level 😂

[@matthewscott6488]

Fair play to the lad keeping himself busy while the schools are closed.

[@kfzvokimk2246]

what a eatiful video ;) very nice ;)

[@d202fes]

Well built car.

[@russellwade7810]

Mine is standard engine wise was there any reason for the spark plug exploding .liking the wheels 👌

[@DaleSteel]

Nearly bought one of these in this colour in 2011. Love the yamaha 5 cylinders in these. Loved them since volvo t5 r. These mk2 are rot boxes underneath though. I think its wreckless to modify these geniuses they will be a future classic without doubt

[@Nakke144]

These don't rust underneath. Usually its just wheelarches from rockchips and under the side skirts that suffer.

[@DaleSteel]

@@Nakke144 sorry your wrong. I spoke to an expert 12 month ago asking what to look out for because I'm after one to store. They not only rust on the underside but very bad for it aswell.

[@Nakke144]

@@DaleSteel No they don't really. Only sufrace rust on subframes, wishbones etc. At least compared to real rotboxes like mk5,mk6 or mk7 Golfs etc.

[@Yii00T]

@@Nakke144 agreed mate that expert clearly has given false info. These ain't Japanese tin cans. Surface corrosion yes but only rust is the arches and under the skirts at the bottom of the front wing. Like you've stated.

[@pooselpoosel]

i would marry that car

[@avitautomotive4436]

What are the wheels and spec?

[@x58evo2puma7]

I prefer the mk3 rs then over these mk2 any day. Back in the days they did looks very nice and mean but beens we in 21 the look out of date to me and the mk3 u can do so much more like drift mode and four wheel drive where these are front wheel drive but good to see on on channel well done luck great video tho 👍👍👍

[@garns8878]

Mk3 engine is dog shit in comparison. I've had both. Mk2 is iconic

[@x58evo2puma7]

@@garns8878 yes I know the mk3 engine is not good but it’s not all about the engine and what power u can get out of them but now they lot better the mk3 engine when the mk2 rs first came out they did look very nice and looks mean on the road but know as times gose on it just looks out of date the dashboard dose and u can do lot more on the mk3 then u can do with the mk2 rs

Only thing the Mk3 has over the Mk2 is awd in my opinion

[@Honky_Konky_Phooey]

The only problem with these is it costs a fortune to tune , love a mk2 far better than than the British Gas van blue mk3🤦‍♂️

[@Yii00T]

Not really a fortune to be honest. Needs AWD at them powers tho to get full advantage.

[@Honky_Konky_Phooey]

@@Yii00T now your kidding right I had an st and it’s serious money to get 500 BHP out of a 5cyl unit compared to some other platforms,

[@Yii00T]

@@Honky_Konky_Phooey other platforms you pay alot more for the car normally. I'm running 400 in my ST and to be honest itsba sweet spot. I've not broke the bank and it has really good gear on it. It's not all about the platform as some like having more to change and upgrade.

[@Honky_Konky_Phooey]

@@Yii00T I was 320 and changed to an A45 BIG mistake regret selling the asbo truly a fantastic car miss the sound, 3rd gear was immense but even at 320 getting the power down was a pain even more so at 400 I bet
