Stance Focus RS ?

[Jackstrath]

Hey all , only recently signed up , but been scanning thought the forums for ages now , personally , not 100% sure if you would class my car as having stance , but im running ET35 wheels (ET42 standard *nothing special i know*) so it does imo have a bit of stance/mean look to it , its my daily and more track car now as i have the need for speed in my blood , its not mega low but does cause for interesting moments with ramps and speedbumps , hope you like it as much as i do

I dont know if i would call it stanced but I'm definitely loving it. props for a badass focus.

Im a big Focus fan, and what you got there is an insane RS! Good job!

[Jackstrath]

Yeh i know there not going to be to every ones taste but i like them and they will do. you only live once!

next is this fucking seat ! iv had this think sitting in my room for two months waiting for a subframe to come from the USA , but sparco STILLL haven't got it to my supplier so i found a pair on ebay and bought them , but it wasn't all plain sailing


a by Jack Strathdee, on Flickr

the hole reason i bought these subframes was because they were FIA approved , now you normally get runners for them but i couldn't figure out why you would need/want as having a moving chair isnt per FIA rules , so i never bothered with them
but when i finally got my mounts i went to bolt them up with the side mounts and seat , nothing would line-up!!!

turns out you need the sliders for them to work (even thought sparco do a non fia approved subframe) these f-ing subframes still need the runners!, so since i got basicly the pair for the price of 1 i just set about it with a drill untill i was happy with the seating pos and popped it in!

next i nearly sold the car with this carry on!
Pistons in the brembos has jambed up so i got on the hunt for a seal kit, could i fuck find the piston seals , just the dust seals!, so i stupidly set about stripping them down , and disaster , once i had removed 1 of the jambed pistons part of the seal came with it , phoned god knows how menny places and emailed a heap but no one could guarantee me seals!
now i could of sent them off to get stripped down and rebuild , but i really was wanting to upgrade the brakes at a later date and didnt fancy spending £200+ getting the callipers rebuilt + £120 on a set of pads , so i bit the bullet and ordered some big brembos.... i mean AP Racing brakes! lol turns out brembo own AP lol

huge!!

My only advice is to get a harness bar across the back because the way your belts are mounted, they can pull your spine down into your arse if you ever get into an accident at the track. Do'em right. It's safer and it's more comfortable (true story). Car looks great imo
