That's nice. You should have done the whole conversion though. Used the wide body and the spindles etc. Make it a true RS instead of a Focus with RS power.

What's the point of that??? I wanted a sleeper, well, as far as sleepers go. My car looks like any other modified focus, which is why its so great.
I'm not trying to make it out to being an RS, just a beast that pisses on all RS's on the track due to weight etc.

hehe yeah well that too.. i'd just need to paint my stock wheels back to silver and voilà .. stock focus with cut springs and a chrome tip :P
in his case, you can't really be surprised.. "oh my goodness, looked like a stock focus to me!" ;) unless everycar can be a sleeper

Well around here, almost every mod on our focus's are legal...at the moment!
So in a way, every black focus looks the same mods wise, well, not exactly. So compared to them, mine technically is a sleeper! LOL
Focus Rs Engine Conversion! - hyprlte - 09-04-2005
Thats one insane focus...
Focus Rs Engine Conversion! - COCHYN - 09-04-2005
Thank you.
I've worked my ass off to getting exactly what I wanted, I'm very happy with it, but not so much the crappy attention its getting on other sites.
Why can't every1 be as nice as Canadiens and accept things for what they are!
(watch this post get copy/paste to other sites coz they wanna bitch about it!) :lol:

well its not an rs, your title will catch flamers in the american boards for sure just for that.
Focus Rs Conversion!, The ONLY Black RS
its not a black RS. Your car is no more an RS than boost till bust's car was an SVT.
You did a motor swap. Would you call a honda EG hatch with a H22 a prelude? No. Its an EG hatch with a motor swap. Or a K20 swapped into a 7th gen? Same thing.
You have an RS motor in your focus. Thats it. And its not really a conversion seeing how you stopped short right after the motor and cluster. If you planned on finishing EVERYTHING, then perhaps the title "only black RS" would be more suiting, but as it sits right now, its not.
But don't get me wrong, I would still snap on off on your car....
Focus Rs Engine Conversion! - COCHYN - 09-06-2005
Exactly what I've been saying, but ppl are reading too far into things.
perhaps it was a mistake to write down "the only black RS" as a title, but that's just a title to get attention. What really must be taken noticed of is what's being said inside the thread...
Which I've said all along that I am NOT trying to make it out as an RS, but the only black RS powered focus inpanther black. Simple as! :D
