Took the R to Jamsport today to get the R rolling roaded before it gets its remap. We're very happy with the result, 291 bhp and 305 lb/ft, not bad for a 9 year old car with 111,000 on the clock.

Btw the most powerful car of the day was one of their's:
608 bhp and 577lb/ft!!!
Have you serviced it since you had it bud, who's doing the remap?
Yes mate, it was recently serviced, with new plugs, and TCV. DNA Tuning in Alcester are doing the remap, we won it on VT :).
Hopefully you put a "powered by volvo" sticker on the back of that focus :)

[QUOTE=stribo;610509]LOL, should have done, it's interesting to see how different the Ford install of the engine is compared to the R.[/QUOTE] So do tell more.
The inlet manifold is different, and the throttle body is on the left of the car as you look at it from the front, also the boost pipe from turbo to intercooler looks to run under the engine.

Right at the start of the video (9 sec) someone threw something into the car, was the guy inside feeling a little queezy with that interior and needed a sick bag ?

[QUOTE=T5frankie;610604]you came all the way to northampton to get a rolling road?[/QUOTE] Yeah, why not, it's a great drive, especially the A43. :D

[QUOTE=T5frankie;610610]you were just going back to your ford roots[/QUOTE] Yeah, that was a bonus, seeing all the Focus RS's, however, they were quite undrwhelmed by the car that gave them the engine.;)
