bar the masking tape to hold it together

You may find that the masking tape is just that - it's masking design features they don't want us to see.

You bloody Golf3 boys - you think everything's held together with masking tape and rust - it's not like that on other Golfs, you know  :tongue:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

same kerb weight as a GTi yet it has 4wd?  :shocked:  That's impressive if it's accurate.

High BHP FWD cars with ATB diffs work well on tracks but in the cold crap surfaced real world they'll always be jittery.  4wd is always going to be the sensible way forward.

All of the Focus Rs road tests have said it is fine and none have mentioned torque steer.

Focus RS is 303bhp from the factory, it has a special design of lower ball joint which somehow cancels the torque steer.
