We're actually doing this! The magicians at Mountune are about to ramp my project red Focus RS up to around 500hp... Can you imagine what this is going to be like?! The conversion will take a month or two, so stayed tuned for updates along the way.
I strongly disagree! so incorrect (obviously just a opinion so neither of us can be correct or incorrect)... but our opinions aside it is his car so he should do as he pleases with it :P
I quite agree, but I really like the look of the carbon fiber. My solution would be to paint the bonnet from the A-Pillar forward, but just the bit between the crease of the bonnet & the front wing. That would result in a much more integrated look, I believe.
I love the fact that you don't only focus on the toys that we dream of. That car has not to say endless possibilities but it does for us Joe schmoes that haven't hit the spot in life we need to be to have a garage full of pretty ones.
Wicket Tim :) be safe with all that pony power! Tim, your very good with us, you always find time in your busy schedule to text us back. You stand out from all the rest and that’s brilliant.
How is it possible that I look forward upgrades and car purchases of your car like I were you! 😄 so much pleasure from your videos, Shmee 👍🏼👌🏼 thank you for this kind of entertainment
Incredible Tim - fantastic to see you modifying the RS - can’t wait to see this monster unleashed - I modified and built my own Saab 9-5 up to 461bhp and it’s the best laugh ever - 19 years old, big old barge, ultimate sleeper and nobody has a clue what it’s capable of - the only thing standard is the interior, although from the outside aside from the wheels it looks standard! Ok so the RS is much more shouty but with 500bhp - Shout Away Sir! - Best of luck with it - all the best! 👍👍👍👍
I've watched two of your videos so far and I have to admit your RS is so beautifully done. I'm actually building a 2018 FoST and your steering wheel upgraded caught my eye. That'll be a future investment for sure. Great videos and a well done car. Keep up the great work mate, motor on!
Now this is what I call the proper but hard core way to inject some life and power into that pocket rocket.. Can't wait to hear how it sounds after completion...
You’re red focus with a red bonnet would look absolutely stunning and set that car off .at the minute it reminds me of old max power car shows we used to go donkeys years ago lol
Wow I can’t wait to see the results I’ll probably do the same! You should add lowering springs to get rid of that gap between the tire/fenders. You’ll love it
A hot hatch and 500 hp spells a lot of fun. Since you mention coming to Germany and the Nürburgring, you might want to visit HGP Turbo and check out their Golf R Mark 7.5 with a twin Turbo 3.6 Liter V6, Audi RS3 Seven Speed DSG transmission and upwards of 740 HP.Taking hot hatches to a new level, while retaining every day drivability. I agree with other comments to paint the bonnet on your RS.
God, that RS is gonna sound fucking INSANE. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT!!! You should have made a before tune exhaust rev and put it in a comparison video with the after tune exhaust sound... but I'm excited anyways!
The black bonnet looks horrible and the wheels don't go with anything else on the car - painting them black may help. The only RS in the garage that didn't look tacky was the blue RS. It will be interesting to see what differences the engine modifications make.
When i saw your cars hood i was like, man that car would look so sick in full carbon. Then comes the Satin grey car, i really liked the looks of that one :D
watching your channel for years and its get better and better... now finally some serious tuning (and yeah i know the renntech modification on the amg)... greetings from germany
Btw, you're missing the carbon fiber RS Air Box cover upgrade, a matching washer fluid cap and matching fluid caps. You can also swap out the cheesy and cheap hood releases to ones that are anodized aluminum. Just other dress up mods that'll really make the car pop.
Really excited about this project. I bought my project with the idea that it was going to get a lot of work done but really wasn't sure that the RS engine could handle the power output i was chasing. Mountune say that there engine is good for 500hp but what is the reliability and driveability like? Really keen to find out. Thanks Shmee!
high #Shquad from the sun drenched Chilcotin eh here in BC where it is a balmy -15 C at lunch time, well Tim that is a step up eh with the power plant for the RS, a wee bit of a pocket rocket when all is said and done! always enjoy the content and ride alongs, stoked for the ones to come in the new rides but truth be told joining you and #teamshmee in whatever wheels is a grand time! thanks again for your efforts, see you next video everyone, til then....give thanks for the gift of each day! 8^)
I like the carbon hood. I think wrapping the red A pillars and continuing the wrap covering all the red above the doors back to the spoiler would improve the look. Where the hood and A pillar meet looks odd. Of course the challenge will be to find a wrap the matches the carbon hood.
Hello Shmee, are you going to mount the sequential gearbox as well?? I saw a video from Mountune from a Quafe unit that is “exchangeble” and is an nice silant and mounted gearbox. With gear indicator an ignition cut for all the best performance. I think it would finish the build😏
Tim, have you ever looked into using a 2.0 block with the 2.3 head? seems to be what people who are making big power with EBM's recommend as apparently the 2.3 block has a weak spot that the 2.0 from the Focus ST doesn't have.
It's always strange to see you driving along the country roads around Brentwood and Shenfield. I live about 10 minutes from Mountune so I know the area well haha!
@@Shmee150 Yes that little run from the A12 into Brentwood is a really nice, flowing road :) It's lovely on a summer evening after the rush hour. If on the way back you turn right at the little roundabout before the bigger A12 roundabout, the roads run through some lovely countryside and little villages. I know a lot of people, myself included, find it easy to take the rise out of Essex but it does have it's nice spots.
Rarely comment it here we go....paint each side of the bonnet body colour. The connecting lines from the A pillar down across the top of the front wings. Means we can keep he awesome carbon bonnet but make it look like it was born there.
I think what's really highlighted how bad the carbon fiber bonnet looks to so many people is just how nice the Mountune RS looked next to yours. In my opinion it really needs the bonnet painting red. It's similar to how your Ford GT looks next to the silver one at Topaz, yours looks so much better as the red accentuates all the details.
By any chance Tim, could you wrap the 'A' pillars along the roof line and back down the 'C' pillars in gloss Black? As much as love the additions to the car the bonnet kind of looks stuck on, this way (although not matching the carbon) it may give it a fluidity. Of course this is just my opinion and if the internet has taught us anything any numpty like me can have an opinion. Keep up the great work, huge fan, thanks.
Yo. Love the car. Have you thought at all about painting the hood? I think painting it and leaving all the vents etc. in the exposed carbon would look really clean.

Awaits the inevitable 'FIRST' from Sweden coming soon.....
Hey could you do a Mclaren senna or a Ford GT POV? Three is literally not a single god video,..
#shquad
It would look dope when done if u put a wide body kit on it
Drive the focus 500. Please
Please consider painting the bonnet red and leave the vents carbon fiber.
Defo was thinking this as well👌
lenhister , I ha should have read the comments. Totally agree.
Its so ugly !
I agree. The carbon hood looks like 💩 on this car.
@@killamist666 nah ur ugly ha got em
Carbon bonnet doesn’t work, looks like it’s from a donor car. Needs painting or putting original back on
My thoughts exactly... shame it spoils a good car
Agreed. I'm a fan of all the other changes. The bonnet is the only thing that doesn't fit for me.
I strongly disagree! so incorrect (obviously just a opinion so neither of us can be correct or incorrect)... but our opinions aside it is his car so he should do as he pleases with it :P
It looks more beastly and racing it's a much improvement! Way lighter
I quite agree, but I really like the look of the carbon fiber. My solution would be to paint the bonnet from the A-Pillar forward, but just the bit between the crease of the bonnet & the front wing. That would result in a much more integrated look, I believe.
Only thing missing on the car is some nice matching RED PAINT on the bonnet,keep the vents unpainted.
Finally the red rocket is going to turn into a Rocket!
An actual proper rocket is coming
The ads are so perfectly placed. It’s not even annoying! It adds suspense, love it!
I love the fact that you don't only focus on the toys that we dream of. That car has not to say endless possibilities but it does for us Joe schmoes that haven't hit the spot in life we need to be to have a garage full of pretty ones.
No fake titles No fake Thumbnails, straight up the real thing....that's why you are the best Tim
I think that bonnet needs to be painted
Wicket Tim :) be safe with all that pony power! Tim, your very good with us, you always find time in your busy schedule to text us back. You stand out from all the rest and that’s brilliant.
Wow, Tim. That's so sick! Great project. Keep them coming. Maybe do some timed 0-60's afterwards?
Definitely, don't even know what this will be capable of but can't wait to discover
@@Shmee150 hi Tim, i think you should consider the widebody kit, just like in their development car, looks pretty good. Have a good one!!
Shmee150 yes worth doing some stats before and after the upgrade
Please can Tim make it a thing to now ONLY quote 0-100mph or 0-124mph (200kph) times, I'm finding 0-60mph irrelevant nowadays
GTIIIII My fav car of all time 👍🏻
Paint that bonnet please.
Coilvers, coilovers, COILOVERS.
nice zr, ive got one too
So this should mean that your hatchback will be more powerful than your Vantage GT8.
Genuinely, yes, that's jokes
Drag race!
Until he gets the GT8 supercharger upgrade 👍
Time to sell the loud snail
if you comment this you obviously don't get it.
If you can paint the bonnet red and only leaving the opening area on the bonnet in carbon fiber, it will look much more better.
Yep
yixiang loo True
Shmee doing big things in '19! Enjoy seeing your cars and projects.
A Focus with 500 HP! Your a mad man! I love it!!!
Not at all their is fiesta with more
James Pugh lol well If he can make it hook why not. I’m all for more HP long as you can put it on the ground.
@Over Opinionated Bogan
Standard Fiesta? When I had my Fiesta ST I did 230 km/h on the autobahn without any problems.
Props Shmee, your RS is styled quite tastefully. Looking forward to what kind of numbers we will see.
That Mountune development RS is FREAKING SICK😎👍🏻👍🏻. Sounds more like a V-8 then the 2.3 4 cylinder Turbo. INSANE.
How is it possible that I look forward upgrades and car purchases of your car like I were you! 😄 so much pleasure from your videos, Shmee 👍🏼👌🏼 thank you for this kind of entertainment
That carbon bonnet should of been sprayed red
That was my first instinct but I've grown to quite like it
its perfect like this. It gives a nice contrast with the red and looks unique. Keep it like this i love it.
...should *have*.
😂
Does look good

“You don’t necessarily need a super car all the time...”
Thank god for that.
That bonnet is pure NFS Underground.
"From the window...to the wall!"
Absolutely class what your doing with the RS's
You’re red focus with a red bonnet would look absolutely stunning and set that car off .at the minute it reminds me of old max power car shows we used to go donkeys years ago lol
The bonnet doesn't work, and I'm not too fussed on the wheels either.
I love mods, tunning and projects like this! Would be great to see more of that in the channel :)
Man the things you think of to do to the focus . Just when I think your done with it you suprise us all with something else
I love the red Focus RS saga!
Another great video 👍🏻this guy has kool cars. Thanks for all the videos
I am amazed they have parts available to do the work for you whenever I look at their website everything is out of stock
Cheers ,Congrats Tim! Can't wait!
Wow I can’t wait to see the results I’ll probably do the same!
You should add lowering springs to get rid of that gap between the tire/fenders. You’ll love it
Now you are allowed to appear in AdamC video called "crazy modified Fords leaving a car show" hahaha x)

Congrats Shmee dreaming on getting your Ford red rocket from stock to tuned hope the tuning goes well !
You should get Öhlins suspension for the car! Would look great with the gold dampers, plus the awesome performance!
The black bonnet looks horrible and the wheels don't go with anything else on the car - painting them black may help. The only RS in the garage that didn't look tacky was the blue RS. It will be interesting to see what differences the engine modifications make.
My stealth grey RS is pretty nice I got the tail lights and headlights tinted fog lights and reflectors it looks pretty guud
Nice ! Interesting project there bud😎😎
You need to experience the absolute thrill of motorcycles. You will be instantly addicted
Damn, I love the "Focus Project"
It's about time someone who knows their cars modded one.
Exhaust?
WIth 500 hp, brakes and suspension mods that thing will give the Senna a run for it's money!
Airride and new wheels !!! Very important airride !!!
I love the RS vids as much as the Senna's!
The summer in the gumball 3000 come with this Beast!!!!!
The Red Rocket is now an actual rocket!
Dang, gonna be a lightweight rocket for sure.
When i saw your cars hood i was like, man that car would look so sick in full carbon. Then comes the Satin grey car, i really liked the looks of that one :D
5:50 haha - "Next year" ??? Like 2020 ??? It's next year already Shmee 🤣😎
Full set of KW V3 all round and a brembo GT brake kit all round 👌🏻 not cheap but WELL worth it
I'm very excited about this! Would you consider wrapping your Focus RS like Mountunes development one?
I think it would go nicely with the carbon fibre you already have on it!
Little red rocket 🚀. Great job tim. Loving getting to the videos early
Cant wait!, the red rocket is awesome!
that turbo whistle on the "M666 FRS" is very cool. Hope it'll be better.
Truly Amazing. I hope you look at painting the wheels black to get the full two-tone look.
*3:33** who else thought he said his car has 5000 miles n hour 😂.... Damn those focus' are fast!!*
That‘s awesome Tim 👌😍😎
watching your channel for years and its get better and better... now finally some serious tuning (and yeah i know the renntech modification on the amg)... greetings from germany
Great video! Please wrap the A pillar and the red bit along the edge of the roof in matte black.
So so good to see you modifying a car
Such a good pocket rocket!
This will be a monster can't wait for the next update bring it on cheers steve 👍:-)
Every time we hear Shmee saying broken bank account there's always exiciting stuff coming out... 🤣
That's because his broken account is like being rich to the average person
The number plates on their prototype is awesome you should do it it goes very well with the RS' lines
Please do something with Bonnet it looks out of place
Btw, you're missing the carbon fiber RS Air Box cover upgrade, a matching washer fluid cap and matching fluid caps. You can also swap out the cheesy and cheap hood releases to ones that are anodized aluminum. Just other dress up mods that'll really make the car pop.

always enjoy the content and ride alongs, stoked for the ones to come in the new rides but truth be told joining you and #teamshmee in whatever wheels is a grand time!
thanks again for your efforts,
see you next video everyone, til then....give thanks for the gift of each day!
8^)
Shmee bonnet looks good though the side bits could potentially look good if wrapped the body colour red where it meets the a pillars?
As others mentioned already, it would look better imo if you make the hood red and the vents in carbon.

Going to be a beast you no it won’t stop tuning
“....more than enough power for small country roads” said on his way to tune it by an extra 150bhp 🤣😂👏👏👏
Wow the car is going to be an animal with all that power if you can get 509ho that would be amazing great videi as usual
Tim you need to ad the wider arches they look amazing!
I love the bonnet, leave it as it is
Shmee actually got a tuner car. Dope! Didnt know you were into em
I love this channel, great vlogs!
Sick upgrade together with 500 hp ! :-)
This project is a dream
I cannot wait.......for this. LOL your my boy!
Nice Specialized road bike 👍🏻

Yes finally been waiting for the Red Rocket to get the Mountune upgrade
Yo. Love the car. Have you thought at all about painting the hood? I think painting it and leaving all the vents etc. in the exposed carbon would look really clean.
Wrap the red parts next too the window black and highest part of the front bumper. So its like 2 tone
