Great pics Beddie.. :happy2:

Can I ask how your stage1 eddy compares to the RS focus on the road?

 :happy2:

Holds up surprisingly well tbh, the focus in the pics is a beast though (420bhp with brakes and suspension to match) and in a straight fight I'm convincingly outgunned tbh...
But around town and on twisty roads mine is more than a match as the Focus is torque and power limited in 1st and 2nd and is a bit of a handful torque steer wise, throw in the dsg advantage and it's a pretty even match sub 80mph, after that the RS gets into a hell of a stride though, epic car!  :happy2:

I did beat it down the strip at inters though, but he was 2 up and didn't get a good start at all really, but a wins a win lol!!

Awesome looking motor Beddie.

Did you end up upgrading the shocks to Mk6 B8's?

I'm lowered on Sportlines, and I'm considering pairing them now with B8's - just not to sure if I should try Mk6 gear over the Mk5 stuff! I'm at 84,000 miles and the shocks seem to be loosing their smoothness.

Cheers mate  :happy2:

I didn't get round to upgrading the shocks, but was definitely going down the MK6 B8 fitment route as like you I have noticed the oem dampers have started to let go (I'm on 75K) and I was looking to tighten things up without being too harsh for the crappy roads round here  :happy2:

I will be buying some MK6 B8s in the future though as I've just bought a mk6 to replace the ed30  :happy2:

Cheers mate!  :happy2:

Will be recycling most of the mods from the mk5 so the build thread should get a bit of a headstart and it'll be a little easier on my wallet lol!!
