My Focus RS Project Car is NEARLY FINISHED! | PROJECT PART 13
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2020
- I'm nearly finished with my Ford Focus RS Red Edition project car! The latest modifcations included the new carbon fibre fenders and FINALLY having the bonnet painted to match with Topaz Skin. However, there are a few things still to be done and then it's going to be time to drive!
After bringing you along to Topaz to see the new parts including the carbon fibre fenders and mirror caps supplied by Custom Carbon NL, as then the fenders and bonnet received a carefully planned Topaz Skin to massively enhance the look, we never really saw it completed.
At this stage, let's check out the new parts, have a quick recap of everything that's been done, and set out the plans ahead for the Red RS and what I intend to do with it going forwards.
Thanks again to Custom Carbon, you can find out more at:

While no project car is ever truly finished, I'm getting somewhere with my Red Edition Focus RS! With the spring approaching, it'll be time to get it out on the roads and some laps at the Nurburgring but there are still one or two more modifications to be added...
Shmee150 that’s a nice focus shmee!
Maybe some wheel spacers? Possibly 15 mm . Give it a more aggressive stance.
Shmee is the BEST!!!
What are you going to do when ur project car is finished
Nicely done!
use the GPS for the exhaust to close the flap when you go past the noise measurements at the Nürburgring :D
Suspension: KW suspension directly at the Nürburgring is the obvious choice.
That is exactly how you could set it up!!
Yesss. I have a kw v3 on my ST, and its crazy on road and track. And i had a couple of brands on my cars in the past, like bilstein and AP. But KW feels the best imo
@@zDeNzHD yeah, the way KW deals with small bumps is just unmatched
@@tommihommi1 agreed
You've done such an excellent job on this car mate! I have a black RS, minute mods, a Mountune air filter and a carbon fiber RS gear knob, I absolutely love it.
Regarding the red Mountune logo in front: "It gives it intent."... Choice selection of words!!!
Tim, thank you so much for respecting the heritage of your cars. I'm sick and tired of watching a bunch of guys who are just children growing older destroy some of the world's finest cars in the pursuit of doing what's "cool"-I think you can imagine which YT channels I'm thinking about. 👍🏼👍🏼
What about the sequential box? (Looks stunning btw)
The development work isn't actually finished yet so it's not something to rush into while they get it refined
@@Shmee150 Don't do the sequential box. You'll regret it in my experience.
@@Shmee150 I'm really excited to see it when you get it sequential.
Perfect spec Focus RS. Love the carbon trim accents!
I know myself how rewardng it is to build and tune Your own car (yourself) the way You want it.
Well done Tim it looks unique and special.
All of the YES ! Love how this looks now. Such a smooth and complete look. Thanks for the video and all your updates Tim.
Thank you for the support
Yeah
But Tim, a project car is never finished ;)
You are correct
Good morning everyone
8:19 maybe a set of performance brake pads and discs as that's as beneficial as a big brake kit, can I suggest EBC brakes
Plans in motion, you'll see what's coming soon
everything EBC is awful! Nothing like a decent bbk AP Pro 5000 calipers two piece AP disc Endless pads and Endless fluid 👌
Tom Hinchcliffe i would rather use pagid pads, much better then endless.
My endless pads on my evo crumbled so fast, shit house pads tbh
@@SVB02 depends what compound I've used RS29 but Endless high end pads are known to be the best just expensive
You couldn't be any more correct, on the definition of a "project car"! I've restored and/or customized hundreds, maybe thousands of cars by now and dang near every time, the customer begins the consultation with "so I have this project car". Once it's completed to the owners taste, no matter who did the work, then it's no longer a project car... but as you also pointed out, they're never truly finished so cheers to all the perpetual project cars! Besides, I'm pretty sure most all of us, would prefer you spend your time doing these awesome videos!
This kind of car just make sense. For getting around to your regular run around places in the city and for the ease of parking this is a great every day driver. You still get the fun of the quickness and driving fun! Driving exotics every day is fine, but this fills the driving sensibility gap very well.
I just love the beautiful , sunny English mornings. Coupled up with the red RS.... Gives me the vibes😍
It's so beautiful! Congrats Tim on how this turned out! 👏
Thank you very much
@@Shmee150 looking forward to how the project rs is going to look when its fully finished 👍
Giannis P what
I agree with your assessment of what a project car is. Some people have the vision, but not the skill, or lack a place to perform the modifications. That doesn't mean they should be criticized for getting someone else to fulfill their vision
Rip Kobe the goat
Mark Flieger, a shame , as a Boston fan and from Boston can’t but respect he was one of the all time greats
RIP
Sad times.
Not sure if it’s true or not but just heard on the news that his kids were on the helicopter too
@@charlie1832 idk about his kids but he passed away
Simply PHENOMINAL! This is how the RS should have looked right out of the factory. Well done Shmee. This is definitely one of the best Focus RS's...no, make that one the best hot hatches I have ever seen. Again, job well done! Thank you for sharing with us. Enjoy!
7:55 why are the holes closed from the inside of the bonnet ?
Mountune have their own intake system.. extra air isn't required
@@AhuCJ Except those are exhausts, not inlets.
What amazes me is the attention to detail. And the finished look is not 'pimp my ride'-like but one of a 'factory enhanced' styling which is very brilliant.
I'm not usually a fan of modifying special/limited edition cars, but...... I really like this and think this is how the Focus RS should have been designed in the first place. Great job
Tims so savvy.. he has supercars.. but good to do a few reviews on cars that are more 'accessible' to us the viewers .. very smart ;)
Hats off to you for being real, and saying out loud you haven't done it yourself! This was a very sympathetic move! Car is crazy!! nicely done
Really enjoy your RS’s, they are the reason I found your channel. I hope you keep the red for a few more years at least so we can see it in action. Enjoy the road no matter how you got there!
Love what you did with the car so far. I own the same exact one and it has been exciting to see what you have done with your Mk3 RS.
You seem like an estate agent , rather than a car enthusiast. Very polite, and softly spoken. Could easily be a children’s tv presenter
Those seats look awesome in that colour, but the more I see them the more issues I see. Great idea, average execution.
yeh the seats dont look like the best job imo
Andy Driftwood yeah that red alcantara would REALLY show stains🤭.
Looks amazing Tim! The front end looks epic. Best looking RS I've seen.
It's looking brilliant with the red bonnet. I quite liked the look of it before, but now it actually looks quite discreet. I like it a lot!
I don't think what you're doing is the wrong way necessarily, but I think individuals convey their thoughts incorrectly. When you work on something yourself and witness the final results that you accomplished, that joy is real and palpable. It's different then giving someone money and watching the car take shape. I think what you're doing is amazing and often those who build a project themselves are envious because they aren't able to afford having someone accomplish what you're doing. Either way, keep up the amazing content! The one thing I'm envious of is that I'll never get to drive this amazing beast! :) Cheers mate!
Yes shmee i wondered when you were guna bring this video out looks epic sounds epic 👍
those plastic parts around the wing mirror is giving me the same feeling as the plastic louvres on the GTR Pro. no idea if something that obscure has a carbon fibre aftermarket replacement option, or even topaz skinning them red or piano black, just, stands out more so now the mirror caps and fenders are carbon. as well as that, the window surrounds maybe to match the area around the mirror, would really finish off that cars look.
other than that one thing, the car is looking phenomenal, keep up the good work and looking forward to the future of that car and the channel!
Looks so much better with the red bonnet and I like the new fenders too. I wondered whether the black would be too much and maybe just keep the venting black but now I see it on the car, it looks great.
The interior is smart - even with quite a bit of plastic remaining. It still looks a lot more high end than it did originally...
Absolutely love this RS! So similar to what I'm doing to my own project car. The only thing I would personally add is black housed or smoked LED rear lights. I think that would make the back pop!
Much love!
you did a great Job on the Car. I am modifying my Focus for 4 years now and did like everything on it by myself expect paintjobs. People just get negative on you because they are not fine with themselves. The car looks awesome ! Have fun with it. Greets from Germany and btw I am a ford dealer by msyself. 👍🏼👍🏼😁
Carbon on red paint, always looks stunning! Love the build too 😬👍🏻
Perfect match
I think the looks would improve even more with some spacers on the wheels.
Thinking about it
agreed otherwise it is perfect 👍
I agree, but nothing excessive, please
Loved it tim. Looking forward to see it doing laps on laps
I think your car looks so cool with everything you have done to it. Once the big brake kits and suspension get done it will be even more awesome.
This Focus is such a unique part of the garage! It surly gives a different flavor of drive than the low, lightweight, supercars of the garage😎👌
I'm getting so much enjoyment out of this series. Shmee150 is criminally underrated!
Looks absolutely amazing Tim, well done! You missed 2 RS badges. The one on the steering wheel and the one on the engine cover are still blue. My OCD would require that they match the other grey ones 😀
I think now most of the visuals are done, the car looks really tasteful. I like it a lot, great job Tim.
Oh Come on Timothy!! They’re WINGS mate! 🇬🇧
That car looks amazing!!
A credit to you and an inspiration to us all, looks fantastic, well done.
A little lower and some spacers would look absolutely amazing!
Radical Blade spacers for sure!
If you'd want a power-modded car to have wheels that stick out a bit more, get wheels with the right offset. I wouldn't go with wheel spacers on a car that's been modded +150hp.
EPIC CAR Tim. Love it.
It must be genuinely satisfying to drop a couple of 10k in to a car and make it truly impressive like this. On your supercars, that kind of budget probably wouldn't make such noticeable difference.
Yesssssss, thanks for the video Shmee, it looks awesome!
Tim, if you ever sold this, maybe you would think about putting it up to your viewers in a 'win Shmee's personal Red Edition'? Of all the cars you own, this would be the most affordable for one of your viewers to actually maintain and would make for a great competition. I'm in Australia and as long as you don't mind the shipping costs I'd definitely put my name down!!! I mean, it's already right hand drive... WINNING!!!
That thing looks/ is a Beautiful Beast !
That Birdie is Hyped ! 🇬🇧 Cheers
That hood looks SOOOOOOO much better. I am really loving this car now.
Ur rs edition looks boss m8 snds amazing u have done the car justice thanks for the vids 👌👍
Yes !! Waiting for the RS Video...thanks Tim
Pleasure, thank you
Amazing upgrades. I like the wheels. Great great project. This will be a famous RS in many years time.
Love the looks of the RS!! Very sporty but not over the top!!! A Real Rocket under the hood and with the exhaust!!!!
oh wow looks amazing already!
No need for justification!
Keep the awesome content comming :D
Look so beautiful 😍 love it my fav rs on the internet
Fantastic end result Tim I really like it. Love your personalised approach to all your cars.
U just have to love that car the best focus I have ever seen
KW makes a computer controlled coilover setup for the RS, and mountune carries it! Matt Farrah complained about how his RS drove and after going to 18in wheels, and that suspension he said it was MUCH better. 18's couldn't hurt to get more rubber on the road too, if you really want to track it you can't go wrong with a Toyo R888.
Love the vids keep it up man
Tim when the time comes to sell please give your subscribers a heads up because I know there must be a lot of us that would jump at the opportunity 😅
Love what you have done both external and internal. Wish I could do the same with my 2014 RS. Same red edition, but all stock. Cheers.
Your car looks amazing shmee, I have been away from you channel for a while but to see how this RS has evolved just makes me dream of having one more in the future! All the best
Thanks for coming back!
Shmee150 no problem - I like the hot hatch features and also other cars that are more ‘attainable’. Not to say your Senna, GT and 675LT aren’t all immense 😂
The Focus came out REEEEEALLY nice!
Do a back to back testdrive with your orange RS, and a MK1, Mk2 and your red edition too! We need some 5 cylinder sounds on the channel!
Looks much better than the bare carbon bonnet. Well done.
I keep bringing up you're wheel colour
Glad your keeping these Silver too 😂
Nurburgring and the autobahns are a prerequisite for ALL your cars Tim! :)
Really dig your RS Tim, from the retrimed interior to the subtle-ish carbon bits of the exterior. Looks almost stock, in a good way
Very well done Tim! Sweet lil firecracker you got there now :)
Stunning car 👌🏼
By far the nicest RS I've ever seen! Well done Shmee!!
I cant wait to get my astra vxrs interior retrimmed in full alcantara! Lots of carbon fibre coming in and replacing my seats to the same seats the rs has (recaro soortster cs)
Suspension i recommend is bilstien, i have B14 coilovers on my astra vxr and they are simply unreal, designed on the ring aswell
Wow!, what a nice ride! Incredible chap!
With the black bonnet and golden wheels gone...now you got my attention to this car😁
So glad we get an update on the red rs
Lots of you guys were asking for it, happy to oblige
I'm really liking how awesome the Red RS is turning out
Looking to get some Storage Mats for my 2018 Fiesta ST. Does anyone know where I can get any? Cheers
The RS looks amazing. I’m going to be in London in February and as a 1st time Canadian visitor , what’s sights would you suggest to see?
Do you hold up the bonnet with your head when your left hand is reaching down for the strut? 🤔
Your car really looking good. Great colour set up for the bonnet and the fenders. Really suit the style of it. And the steering wheel does looks cool.
That RS looks and sounds amazing. Just a suggestion, If you put some red stitching on the sides of the seatbelts, or put completely red seatbelts in? I think it would compliment the seats and the rest of the interior nicely
it’s looking great for sure 🔥🔥
That looks 100% better, excellent work! - it looked 'Barry' before with that total Carbon Fibre Bonnet. Looks great now
Honestly looks amazing with the painted red pieces
I was just hoping you would eventually get the hood painted but the other parts all make it look like a totally different car. I love it!
Hi guys I’m shmee and I done the minimal ‘upgrades’ possible to my Ford Focus today!
Looks incredible with the red hood. So much better. Beast of a car. Congrats!
Stunning car! I love it because it is soo in-keeping with the car, very OEM+
Also you could easily imagine this to be the look that Ford may take as a factory road race car
Maybe a sequential gearbox next?
Looking much better in red! Looking forward to the track videos
Look verry good like that !!! Good job Tim!!!!
that amazing red with a tinge of orange, reminds me of the soul red for mazda cx-5
The hood and fenders came out nice with what you left exposed in carbon
Hey Shmee! I love your videos and want you to know you’re a great role model.
Thanks for the support
Bilal Uddin amazin’
Get the suspension on it and give LLF a shout! Now that would be a good colaboration!
