Welcome from a fellow Focus ST owner


Are you on http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/index.php? ??? Lots off info about the ST on there and we have a meet in Slough (so not far from you ) every first Sunday of the month so next one is this weekend Sunday 1st June @5pm

[Rsturbonut]

Hey yeah im on there too. Ive been to one of the meets in slough, met a few pppl there but weather was crap so not many ppl turned up. I cant always make the meets so havnt been to many. Try to improve that for the future :-) lol

[Waynester]

Good choice.. I'm on my 2nd EO ST. Great cars!

Post a pic up when you can, we like pics.

[Rsturbonut]

Yeah will do! Once the suns out and shes had a clean i'll get some good updated pics - had a few bits done since last ones... :-)

[Rsturbonut]

Hey, just washed the car so thought id share some of the pics :-)

Two thoughts immediately come to mind when looking at those photos -
1. Its very black.
2. The positioning of your front number plate surely has to be illegal?
My reasons for thinking this are - if you were standing even slightly off centre to the left the number plate could not be read, and the designated fixing point for the model of car is not being used.

[Waynester]

Nice.. looks quick!

[Rsturbonut]

Righto?!.... Lol. And how black wud u like me to make it next time?

And thanks Waynester, yer it aint too shy lol, glad u posted a normal reply :-)

What's the setup?

[Rsturbonut]

Well for now.... (Shes going to be upgraded again in the very near future)...

Full exhaust system including downpipe and decat
Custom air intake setup
RS plugs
RS ecu holder
Uprated boost control valve
Bluefin stage 3+ (not dyno'd yet but running approx 300bhp)
Uprated front mount intercooler
RS clutch

Next step will be uprated turbo and injectors and then a custom remap as bluefin doesnt go any higher than stage 3+

Does it have an uprated inlet manifold & the block mod?

[Rsturbonut]

Not yet no. What its running at the moment it wont need the block mod and it does t need the manifold yet. Do that maybe when i do the injectors...
Block mod i will do when i get some spare time or it decides to break on me lol

Blocks have failed on stock cars its a bit luck of the drawer
Worth speaking to Dreamscince as they are doing a deal on a diy kit that includes everything you need to do it & as a job it can be turned around in a day.

[Rsturbonut]

Any idea how much it is? As far as i know the plates are very cheap. I would get the other bits myself thru work so i get them dirt cheap (i.e head gasket etc)

[Rsturbonut]

I just emailed them and they dont sell the shims on their own. No good to me, im not paying £400 for the kit. Need to find where sells them on their own. Or what the spec of them are so i can get some myself...

[zegermans]

Nice looking ST. Where did you get the grills? Wouldn't mind some of them on mine. Also, what exhaust system are you running there?

[Rsturbonut]

Thanks mate! The grills are Zunsport. U get a discount if ur part of focusstowners club too.
The exhaust is a mongoose cat back system with decat and downpipe also. Sounds the nuts on boost lol
