Running it in my a55. Probably cooking the clutch :lol:. That's just my jealousy speaking.

I'm not a fan of small cars though, so even though it would probably be wicked to drive, it's just not my thing. Still hate her though.

Plus I just hate Ford for personal reasons. That said, I'd love a Ford GT or Mustang.

Yeah, small cars are not my type. She is one lucky lady I'll tell you that, and an awesome spot mate, well done. B)

why does everything need to be awd/4wd? mazda3 mps did well against evos and sti's (and to a lesser VW r32)

it take skill to drive fwd spiteful.gif , having said that i prefer rwd dry.gif

anyways wait until 2016/2017? when the 15 year rule comes into play and people start importing the 2001/2002 model Focus RS from overseas

The RevoKnuckle system is sooooo complicated to understand, not even James May knows what it is! :lol:

However, from my understanding the system reduces torque steer dramatically and also makes it act a bit like a RWD car.

Check this website out http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1032432_in-depth-fords-revoknuckle-suspension-and-quaife-lsd-for-the-focus-rs

With only 315 coming to OZ, it looks like it might be hard to even get a test drive but ill be there too!

Ford actually designed this car as a FWD from the start but would be nice if it had been AWD. However with this revoknuckle system it apparently works quite well.

As others have said, hopefully this will spur on Toyota to hurry up with the FT86 and possibly other good cars.

yeah its a shame Toyota never bring out anything to compete with this sort of hot hatch. I did hear some talk earlier this year about them considering the Blade and Blade master but i think we are gonna have to wait for the FT86 if you want any sort of sporty Toyota.

/barf..

After owning a high powered fwd..i would never get another one. It is DAMN frustrating trying to get traction in 1st/2nd.. just wanna get moving damnit, not stand there spinning the fronts.

Spinning rears on the other hand... well that's just fun. Nothing like good rwd squirming under power trying to get/lose traction.

I do kinda like the aggresive styling though...but must be bought in black.

When will Ford start fitting decent looking wheels....those look bloody aweful,these style of wheels look like flowers IMO and do nothing for the overall look. :o someone should photoshop some black TE37's on this to see what it will look like.

also to much $$$$$$ for to little car...i'm with Johnnie wait for the FT-86. :D

I swear I saw a bunch of these on the back of a truck the other day. There were about 4 or 5 of them... all the same green colour :lol:

I guess it comes down to the following... is that green colour unique to the Focus RS or can other Focuses get it? If not, then I can be 99% sure I sure a bunch of them on the back of a truck.

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
