I'm with Shaun the disc size is only 320mm not has big has the R32 and they just don't feel clever especially with a big heavy lump up front.

Nice one!  :happy2:

Do tell......  :party:

Bought myself a spanking new ultimate Green Focus RS :drool:
i pick it up a week today :party:

Yours looks really nice, i read a review of the st with the montune uprade (i think) and it was faster than the RS everwhere so once your done with the engine mods you should be good power wise !
Hows the brakes on the ST just out of intrest?

Niiiiiiice!  :congrats:

I do love the Green but not sure I'm brave enough to own one! Yeh power wise she seems pretty decent, but as mentioned the brakes could be better, so may need to do something before the next ring trip.

Im not sure if the focus rs brakes will fit the st ?
They are pretty good and there are a few people removing them at the moment in favour of the montune alcons so you may get a good deal !

Yea tbh it was green or nothing for me ! I love the colour especially when you black up the vents and wheels it really has a supercar presence !

ST now sold........

Wasn't really planning on selling but after a mate asked about buying it just before Christmas then didn't it kinda got me thinking. So stuck her on PH for decent money and sold to the first viewer for near as dammit asking price!

Superb car and wouldn't hesitate to have another, will deffo miss that noise!  :evilgrin: . Will be doing more miles over the next few months so that was also a factor.

New project coming soon then I guess!  :party: :party:

Are you likely to come back into the VAG fold?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
