These stand alone ECU's are proper game changers. Up to five switchable maps, anti-lag you can turn on or off, boost by gear, better traction/stability control. Well worth the money imo. Most standard cars out the factory, when you go through the different driving modes it's only making very small adjustments. You can't leave a car like a Mk2 Focus ST standard, they were made to be modded. Not keen on the dustbin lids though.
I love mine with just 300bhp. The mapper asked if I wanted the pop bang map, mapped in. Almost punched him 😂. It naturally pops and bangs anyway. I love the fact he is keeping it an ST. So many people start messing with an ST and start making them look like the RS. Well played.
A buddy of mine had an RS that looked like this, he did a ton to that car, fastest vehicle I’ve ever been in I couldn’t get to top speed when I was driving but he did, 172/173 on the way to the cinema. I would have asked him to slow down but we were late for the start of man of steel when it came out. Bush you were a mad lad
80s and early 90s Anti-Lag was for Rally cars and those with deep, deep pockets. Modern ECUs etc and the features they come packed with are amazing, what an animal of a car! Certainly embarrass a lot of 100k+ supercars!👍🏼
@@billyboy1872 you missed the point fella, he has a sub £30k car that beats so called super cars, if you need to spend money on top of a 100k car he’s already a winner and quids in 😉
You got to love a fast ford, Iv had a few mk2 rs and st’s and TTRS so a big 5 cylinder fanboy but never had the opportunity to have them running big power . But the sound there make is to die for.
A had an focus st m8 until a ended up doing summer salts in it 🙈..it was some machine..you said you were looking to maybe buy one adam..a highly recommend getting one..there absolutely brilliant cars..my mate had one with near 500hp..what a car that was..an other great video bud 👌
Those 5 cylinders are as close most will get to the old skool Audi engines. Even the D5 Volvos give a bit of that noise too, shame Ford didnt keep them. Cracking car though Joes got the look spot on and those Bolas really finish it off
Yeah, my son bought a white mk2 last year, now looks very much like the one in this vid..... It instantly reminded me of the audi rally cars of old ❤️❤️, have seriously considered a white mk2 RS myself since he bought it
regret getting rid of mine but i got 1 when they was new and not much gains now they are developed more from the tuneing side i keep looking at them now love to do a 4x4 build thats a cracking car credit to the owner
Cop: "Is this your genuine stock Sierra Cosworth Sir?" Driver: "Errr yeah" Cop: "Could you just pop the bonnet for a moment Sir?" Driver: "Errr yeah" Cop: "What a privilege. I might never see one of these again in my lifetime. On your way Sir and please drive safely" .
i have in orlando, usa ,a 2017 focus st 4 door that looks like a yellow taxi. is ford ever going to sell the european version of the 2 door coupe? i am pretty sure that it will sell more than my taxi.
My brother has one running 320bhp and when he turned aids off and floored it F me it was gone. But instantly we was in on coming traffic I thought whats he doing. Then he said no. Thats the torque steer. I couldn't believe it. Instant lane changer. F 550bhp FWD.
this ford focus RS would have been better to have taken it rear-wheel drive with a 4-cylinder inline ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YniA1RJqkWo.html It would have been a success if from the factory if it had come out this way
