Same in my mates stage 2 Focus RS (circa 350bhp) Properly quick but too easy!
my 1st rover metro was like that, everything manual. it ran for fun. nippy too and dead easy to fix. only thing was people giving me shit on the road and the insurance been high. 10 years later how the table has turned! now i turn the tables with a nice high powered metro. laugh is it still a piece of cake to work on and still has less sensors. even tho its got the vvc engine in.
