My Focus RS is Back After 5 MONTHS! | PROJECT PART 11

The missing car from my garage is finally returning! The Red Edition Focus RS project car has been at Mountune and it's finally time to collect it, with plenty of pops and bangs on the drive home. Also, let's check out what's coming next with thanks to Custom Carbon NL!

After a huge host of modifications to date, the Ford Focus RS mk3 has very much become a different beast to where it began - which was already one of only 300 units of the Red Edition. For example it's wearing the Ventus Veloce carbon fibre kit, a new Prototrim Alcantara interior, massive upgrades from Mountune to the engine to rebuild it and raise the power to 500hp and more including an SS Tuning steering wheel, BBS CI-R wheels and plenty of more touches.

At the time I dropped it off 5 months ago, the plan had been for an upgrade to the gearbox to change it over to a sequential to make it feel even more like a racecar. However, that process has been much more involved than I anticipated, and has required a lot more development work and testing than first thought on Mountune's own dev vehicle. However, in the meantime, more updates have been done to mine in terms of the calibration and setup which becomes instantly noticeable when I'm back on the roads. After a small scare, which turned out to be absolutely nothing, it's an easy drive with the typical rain and traffic to be expected at this time of year.

Next up though, some more modifications to be done! Firstly thanks to Custom Carbon NL we finally have some carbon fibre mirror caps but in addition they have also very kindly supplied a set of Anderson Composites fender panels which look incredible. Being much lighter than stock, while adding some width to the fenders, plus a vent for air flow they will look incredible however just exposed carbon might be overkill. That's where Topaz Skin comes in! The intention is to use Topaz's peelable paint protection spray to match the Race Red paintwork while creating a unique design over the top of the carbon on both the fenders and the carbon fibre bonnet.
