Looks great Graham! One of these are high up the replacement list when I stop spending money on the TT and sell the fabia and 207 lol.

 

[suckindiesel]

Very nice! Great little all rounders...took a Volvo engine to make them though

I would agree fully, the right engine in a better chassis

Didn't realise the ST was AWD...

 

[Graham]

LOL i said chassis, not drive-train

Also the ST engine is a little sharper than what the Volvo's get

Always thought they were 220ish vs 300? I agree they tune well though.

compared to the likes of a C30 T5 the focus has a little more power i think and lighter flywheel etc along with a few other things to aid in it being a bit more responsive.

 

[Paddy_R]

I loved mine when I had it.
Though from experience the clutches don't take to well to power increases.

Health to enjoy Graham.

 

[Graham]

And without me seeing it on facebook, the wife actually posted this picture of her car from 8 years ago just a few days before i bought this one

 

[Graham]

That's the Torpedo mint for selling, any takers...

 

[Graham]

So the focus got dropped off with Michael | Polished Alloys today to get the wheels blasted and painted as well as freshening the calipers up with some colour, wont be long now till shes on the road

 

[Graham]

 

[Lyons]

Yes! What colour is that?

 

[Graham]

Yes! What colour is that?

I was asked that earlier and have no idea at all, i will try and find out though.

He was given the car along with a piece of graphite vinyl and asked to match the wheels to the vinyl as that will be the main livery colour

 

[andy9eleven]

Looks like grey on my screen.

 

[Graham]

So she went up on the ramp today to get the belt kit and stuff done and thankfully so, cam shaft seal leaking and as such the timing belt was wild moist.

Only a matter of time before it terminated itself really.

Parts on order but in the meantime fitted a 325bhp capable front mount intercooler, removed the rear mud flaps, took the broken boot opening button out and pushed the car into the yard to sit for a few days before work can commence again.

Wheels look well though fitted, centre caps are with @Blackwater Graphics to be done graphite

 

[Graham]

Two week wait for parts via Ford dealer network, next day from SCC Performance.

Turning into a labour ovlov...
