Focus ST in sligo

[VXR230BHP]

Anybody spotted this booting around Sligo town:drive:

 

[Adam_Glanza]

are they rare in ireland?

i work next to a ford service station so i see them all the damn time lol

cant wait to see some ford focus rs tho

 

[Corey_gt]

Eh sligo is full of them dude??? There not what there cracked up to be either.

 

[Franza1]

Eh sligo is full of them dude???

Yep i seen one about 3 weeks after they were released, a fella who owns a tuning shop bought it as a runaround

 

[Adam_Glanza]

yeah there just big n heavy

 

[VXR230BHP]

Theres a blue one in Sligo and a orange one in boyle running at 260 BHP top end there a monster can be tuned to 300 BHP.

 

[Corey_gt]

Its a big lazy volvo lump that sounds like its going alot faster than it is. Theres 4 blue ones and 2 black ones in Sligo that I know of.

 

[Dan3SGTE]

focus ST? they are everywhere lol... They go alright, not great for a 2.5 turbo motor though... And 225BHP is quite poor for that engine too...

Im sure they have alot of potential though.

 

[VXR230BHP]

Didn't know that.....225 BHP for a 2.5 turbo lump is crap i must admit

 

[Corey_gt]

Ah ya dude I know a lad that has a 300bhp one. Sounds mint.

 

[VXR230BHP]

Ah ya dude I know a lad that has a 300bhp one. Sounds mint.

Guy in Boyle has his bluefined stage 1.......weather they keep up with the VXR's at stage 3 then i'am not going there

 

[Corey_gt]

You'd be suprised what some smaller cars can do to these

 

[VXR230BHP]

Big and heavy yeah......my corsa VXR certainly can give them a scare

 

[Dan3SGTE]

Didn't know that.....225 BHP for a 2.5 turbo lump is crap i must admit

yeah man, thats what i think!

with that spec engine you would want at least 260BHP stock AT LEAST! oh well, i think they were made to be more driveable and refined, we have to remember, manufacturers are scared shitless to bring a FWD car out with more then 230BHP... even if it weighs 5 tonnes

 

[turbo-fever]

that is true but look at the new motors arriving like the focus rs 300bhp fwd dunno how quick they r but 300 from standard aint a bad start lol

 

[Animal GT]

[turbo-fever]

[VXR230BHP]

The new Focus RS is FWD
