Nowt special really about it but thought id post a few pics of it.

Its a 1.8 Zetec with a 122 bhp achieved by adding an St170 air intake, air box and K&N panel filter. Its lowered (though it dosnt really look like it) on Eibach springs and handles so well for what it is, got to love lift off over steer biggrin









Be stunned lol..

I like what you did there wink

Nice car by the way, standard looking with a bit of extra poke, perfect!

Cheers guys. Standard power is 115ps or in proper figures 113bhp so im pretty chuffed with the RR result. Since then its had Bluefin installed which has made a slight difference low down and right up high in the rev range. Im hoping to get the car on the rollers again soon to make sure everything is running as it should after the remap smile

Smart mate - Nice RR result aswell

I had same focus but with

Kent cams
OBX pulleys
4 branch manifold
Mongoos exhaust

Never got it RR but it was nippy

You can also put escort GTI cams in them which work out at the same profile as Kent stage 1 cams - I had the stage 2s which were pretty agressive

My mate got them (escort gti) ones off ebay for £35 delivered - made a fair difference and gave it a lumpy idle

Wish I never sold mine, I miss the revvy bd! Enjoy it, I bet it is an absolute hoot on those roads!

Is that a rear calliper I spy? Not many 1.8s had rear discs, mine did and they make all the differance!

Yea its got rear discs on it. It was one of things I made sure it had when I bought it as it makes such a difference to the braking performance and sustainability smile

Escort Gti cams shouldnt make it idle lumpy unless its timed wrong...
