Hello everyone. I currently live in north central Indiana. I have had my 94 for about 12 years now. She has 196k on her and about due for an engine refresh or a crate motor. For being almost 20 years old she is still in pretty good shape. All stock except for Magnaflow side exhaust and a Roush body kit. The stang was my first car and I fell in love. Over the past 8 years she has become a weekend cruiser for the most part as I got sucked into the Subaru world. Last summer I traded my 13 hatch on a 14 Mustang GT with track package and recaros. I love the car but after almost a year with it I realize owning two rear wheel drive vehicles in the midwest is not the smartest thing ever. I want to get back into an awd turbo car but subaur hasnt put anything out lately that peaks my interest. The RS however has my full attention and I plan on getting rid of the 14 stang for one. Enough words, onto the pictures!

as she sits now with custom RTR wheels and Airlift suspension.

I was a big fan of the 4th generation cobra mustang, aside from its performance, styling was right on point, perfect for the 90's

Its one of my favorites. The 94 was my first car I bought when I was 19. I have plans for her down the road, ideally, would love to drop a coyote motor into her.

While I like that Cobra, this generation wasn't my favorite.

A gen closer to it that's one of my favorites is the Foxbody. I love light weight and high power, which that clearly offers!

i do love me some foxbody as well

Hard to find someone that doesn't like a 5.0 in a light chassis
Unless their priorities are out of line.

or their a communist.

Very nicely done. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the Focus RS. The gold rims on the Mustang are nice, but I also think they would look even better on the Focus RS.

Thank you for posting this.

More than likely the RS will stay stock for a while other than a nice catback. Im sure the wheels would look fantastic on the RS and I may keep them just for that purpose. They may be a bit wide though. I know they come with 235/35/19 PSS, not sure if 275/40/19 would fit. lol

Short shifter might be worth adding to first mods, i'd actually do with a better (to me) shifter than an exhaust. Plus as you can imagine this being a performance model it would have some level of good enough sound going on.

Shifter is up there on the list. There is always room for better sound

Got to let this beast breathe.

I'm sure that it will sound great and does anyone know if Ford is pumping fake engine noises into the cabin? I know they do that with the Mustang and the Lincoln MKC.

 

[junkyard08]

I thought they werent going to pump fake sounds into the cabin for the RS but I cant seem to find anything to confirm that.

Neither can I. Does anyone know if they're doing this currently in the Focus ST?


I know VW does this in the GTI, and I think the Golf R too.

 

[centurion]

It is being done to the ST and doing it to the RS will be a great way to complement the experience, what they call a "active sound symposer"

 

[junkyard08]

I could take it or leave. I would prefer to not have "fake" sounds pumped into the cabin

 

[Cosmonaut]

I think it might be a good idea to make that an option. Some people like how it adds to the experience while others don't like how it feels artificial. I think I could do without it. Rather have things quieter and also know that its the real deal.

So much this. I want real sounds. I know on the mustangs, at least my 14 GT there is a sound tube that amplifies engine noise into the cabin. It can be deleted fairly easily so I hope that if they do it with the RS it can also be easily deleted.

I remember seeing a video of an ST owner that got fed up and removed it, which I can understand. I'd likely do the same thing, plus it makes for a good reason to go aftermarket or even custom. Then of course you can crack your window open .... when it's nice outside of course.
