Thanks mate, i had an evo before the escort and am much happier in my old ford now. Do miss the boost tho. I keep telling the misses we should get a focus RS.

Know what you mean, Robbie.  My brother has been trying to get an Escort for a while, very hard to find in far NQ, so he bought an RS Focus for his 50th.  Still haven't organised a ride in it yet!

Same, i also havent been in one, Be good if there can be some good aftermarket support for them in the next few years.

Pretty sure i have all the bits now for a full suspension freshen up.

Grp4 struts, Bilstein short inserts with 225lbs springs, standard alloy hubs and wheel studs
Grp4 Anti dive
Kmac 22mm sway bar
Rear Bilstein dampeners, soft ones i believe

Have all relating superpro bushes to go along with it, looking forward to getting all this stuff installed.

Suspension parts look nice. You source them locally or from o/s?
Interior looks nice. Motivation to do something with mine other than bare metal...

Parts were sourced from the Grp4 distributor for aust Classic Rally sport. John was very good to deal with.

Im happy with the interior, still keen to redo the carpet and head lining, do the windows need to come out for best fit of the head lining?

I actually like bare look of your RS, i often use your thread as motivation. Id love if my car was as clean as yours, not to mention im very envious of your brake set up.

Hi Robbie, nice suspension package there, bet your eager to get them installed . With the roof lining the windows will need to be removed for a neat fit, i wouldn't try with the glass still in..

Hi Marty.

very keen for them to be installed, really looking forward to see how it changes the car.

I assumed it would be a windows out deal to get it to fit best, arh well.

Appreciate the kind words. My interior was done on the rush just to get the car on the road. Trying to come up with a plan now to finish it off. Will still be Spartan but a bit tidier.

Might have to look up classic rally sport. Like the idea of the leather stitching on the steering wheel. Looks good.
