New owner of 2848

[Antg78]

Hi guys,
I've been dreaming of owning a Focus RS ever since i did a Ferrari driving experience back in 2003 and the MK 1 Focus RS was the test car we used to learn the track.

Anyway I've finally got one and am now the proud owner of number 2848, with only 68k miles and only a few minor mods that will be getting removed to take it back to standard.

It's in pretty good condition but does have a few things i want to sort, so I am compiling a list of parts needed and jobs to do.

Welcome to the forum Antg78. Would it be possible to know the date you purchased 2848 to add to the history of your car please.

Out of interest, was your driving experience day in the Focus RS at Prestwold Hall in Leicestershire.

yes sure, I purchased the car on 08/09/2020
I'm not 100% sure where the driving experience was but it was in Leicestershire somewhere.

Thanks for the date Antg

Will have been Preswold Hall Circuit then and the car you had driven would have been one of the original Ford Press Cars. PP24, PP25 or PP26.

Good stuff, nothing better than getting a car you've been gagging for, standard or modded?

[S1 RST]

Hi and welcome

very nice having a ferrari driving experience and wanting the car you tested the circuit with
putting back to standard?? These are better cars when modded sensibly, just keep standard parts for originality 😎
what mods does it have?

It didn't have many mods, stage 1 dreamscience remap, dump valve, chrome covers in engine bay, blue silicone hoses thats about it, still on the standard exhaust too.

i really am pleased with it, should have got one sooner.
