Id be doing the performance upgrades to the focus before the ICE install chap!!
Anyone who thinks that going from an R32 to an ST is a downgrade is mistaken. The ST is a very capable machine and, with the mods the OP has done to the exhaust system, it will sound every bit as good as the R32
If you havent already done so, id upgrade the brakes, even if its a simple pad+fluid change. They are ok, but not brilliant
It does sound pretty awesome specialy when it spools up sounds like a rally car from behind! i have all the audio equipemant sat in the garage so not biggy and all the materials sat at work so me and a mate just roll it in after work hours do abit n go home. Its just going to be a simple raised floor hidden amp and the sub sunk in to the floor so its flush.Anyone who thinks that going from an R32 to an ST is a downgrade is mistaken.

The only problem with all the power on the st is once u hit the 280-290 bhp makr its veery common for clutch slip to occur so im holding back alittle till summer then ill consider the RS diff and clutch all can be put in for around 1600 i believe
Would love a go in the new RS - with its diff I would imagine it would be superb
Not been on here for a while thought id up date a little bit, not much has gone on really! service and i fitted new brake discs the other night, painted calipers black and added some silcone hosing that links the MAF to the induction pip due to the old one perishing a little. Few new things to go on once weather gets better.
Few boring pics!

So i had a knee op last tuesday leavibng me unable to work or drive the car for a few weeks, so i found me self ordering a few little bits since i been off. Nothing major as i just booked a holiday to LA with the misses and hired meself a mustang convertible
so i ordered some front wisbone poly bushes
And a clear high level brake light just to get rid of the original red, the newer mk2 sts came with the clear version
also added some led number plate ligths that look sooo much better at night. So few newish pics
