Yeah just checked the blokes facebook who used to own it and seen he'd sold it  less power than i'd heard it was running when old owner had it. Was run on regals rollers though.
I do love regals rollers, gave me 83.2bhp on my 1.2 C with an air filter and backbox
And then it got 68 about a year later with no change but a few more miles on the clock.

the Focus ST (Orange)... what did that make? Its just that I wanted to see the difference between that and the Volvo T5 in there that morning... same engine I think.
 my focus ran 238bhp and 280 lb/ft torque, standard engine.
factory figures are 222bhp and 236 lb/ft torque so pretty chuffed considering it was run on tesco 95 normal stuff as daveskater said.
cheers for a good day willay and jr, sorry i couldn't stay longer, missus was a bit bored and freezing so took her to bluewater for a spend up

That sounds fucking good Gav. I told you very early on into you buying this that you'd fall for it It may not be built as well as the Civic, but even with that power you'd be all over one.
Edit: Oh, and when I had my XSi 16v I went in search of the limiter and found it at about 7500rpm and the engine was bog standard!
[Edited on 28-11-2009 by Eck]
26 more torques then the civic too
due to the massive weight difference I honestly do think its as fast.
Got a decat pipe that im considering fitting or I might just leave it be as thats a good figure and a nice smooth curve.
Just need to get my tracking sorted
As when we fitting the diff and box we knocked it way out
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
