Hypothetical Ford based modifying question?

[omgus]

I take my Scooby to a very good specialist with a fantastic reputation online and through other owners I know.

But as i only recently got the focus i have only just started looking into this, so are there any similar garages around for Fords, or just cars in general local to SAS. I would rather use a specialist with a good rep, or who I had been referred to than use a main dealer.

I know I may have mentioned to a few people that I would not be modifying the Focus at all, but I am starting to think that I should look towards it's winter service and start planning for a couple of little things then, especially as research seems to be saying that it is possible to get 190ish bhp with little more than a sports filter and a slight timing change of the exhaust ports.

For Ford Tuning THE main companies seem to be, Puma speed , Puma build , Jamsport and Mountune.


I'm sure one of them could help / have an upto date knowledge and know-how in terms of mechanical upgrades.


I knew you wouldn't be able to resist modifying it

Ta wacko.

Jamie, I am just preparing for it's winter service, now be good or I'll tell you Mrs how much you spend on that Scooby.

And Steve, no v8 or supercharger conversions, yet.

All I am after is a tiny bit more power (oh god this is how it always starts)

Jamsport would do you a great 300bhp supercharger kit

It's all preventative maintenance mate, don't want anything falling off now do I!

What about a boot/ mid mounted v8 with rear wheel drive, it's an option.........

The wagon makes it into SOTW and now he's thinking of modding the more modern car:

I think I need to go around and explain to the silver vehicle that he's still a valued member of the team. Maybe I'll bring along a recently rejuvenated contemporary to demonstrated that point ('tis nearly finished I'm told).

Yep, you see that slippery slope.....

Do what I do and reason that you'd rather spend the money on my 'main' car than this runabout.
