Focus St2

Cheers pal. Can't wait to get it on. Glad I waited for the non res now.

Yea hoping after I get few Wee bits painted it'll be ready to hopefully start in time for the shows and start using it. Got some good news reference the smell I was getting so fingers crossed its sorted. Been looking at adding a few exterior bits then going to start under the bonnet as intake and Dreamscience induction.

Sweet. I was offered a dreamscience set of intake pipes there but he was looking for 220 for essentially two short lengths of pipe with no filter included. Think I'll be putting that towards my RS clutch. Might make a custom cross over pipe to go with my intake. Just haven't decided yet how I'm going add the vacuum nipple to the stainless steel pipe. Thinking drill, thread it add brass nipple with loctite.

Yea I will be going for the full Dreamscience with the Rs ecu holder etc. Hoping to get a deal from one of the guys at Dreamscience as I've bought the imaps and the catback so will see what they say. Main things to do now fit new discs and pads on the front. Minor paintwork. Fit all my parts Downpipe catback front and rear spacers front splitter then ordering the zunsport lower full grill and carbon mirrors then I'll go from there. Was thinking of going group a @ABishop but don't like the idea of the filter being so close to the engine so hope the ds one will be getting some sort of decent air flow from being lower into the arch.

Seconded. The focus itself is a great car, by no means amazing, but for me, that engine is unreal. I give mine a quick blip on the way home after lunch and the growl just makes me grin ear to ear every single time. I was parked directly beside a brand new RS3 on the boat a few weeks back, I waited until he started his so I could hear it, and I was disappointed, far too subtle, but when I started my focus, the echo around the inside car area of the boat was (for me anyway) fantastic. The Focus RS is something else, I would love to have one.

 

[gsmith]

As you know this is my second and the only car to be replaced by this would be an Rs. How long have you had yours now @collyirwin11 ?

 

[collyirwin11]

Two years past in november there. It took me so long to save for one, but it was definitely worth it.

Is the splitter still alive? I've a trc one to go on mine but Iam slightly lower on this car so dread to think what will happen if it touches anything.

Haha, yes, it is still on, it had a fight with the ramps last year when I was removing the o2 spacer, and lost quite badly lol. So I removed it then to repair and refit. Been back on since august with no issues. I bought coilovers the other day and may remove it if I fit them. I saw those triple r comp splitters and would consider one too, look well

 

[gsmith]

Yea thinking about adding the trc spoiler lip have you seen it? Think it could look quite nice. What coilovers do you get?

Fella I follow on instagram has it fitted and it looks great. Yet to see one in real life though. I got bilstein b14 coilovers. Fella I know was selling them so made a low offer, and ended up with them. Had no intention of lowering it, so still not 100% if I will.

 

[gsmith]

Willing to tell me what the low offer was incase you end up selling them? Lol. Might order the spoiler lip before it goes for paint and get it out on while its there.

Haha, trade for your wheels? I paid a good bit less that half price of these - Bilstein B14 Coil Over Suspension Kit Ford Focus ST225 - Focus ST225 / XR5 Turbo - Suspension - Upgrades - Pumaspeed Milltek Ford Performance Tuning Milltek Sport Exhaust Ford Fiesta Focus ST RS Parts Specialist

They are boxed and unused, fella just never fitted them.

 

[gsmith]

A lot of money for them but again not as expensive new as I'd thought they would be. There brand new then? If I had my new wheels bought I'd consider that.

Yes, brand new still in protective packaging.

 

[gsmith]

I've the B8s and I love them with the cobras, though I was tempted at the time by B14s.

Nice motor. I see similar wheels for sale on gumtree with the focus fitment, was ever so slightly tempted, look good on your motor

 

[gsmith]

You have the bolas? That's what I want for my car but just not sure how they will look on it.

 

[gsmith]

@collyirwin11 keep me posted on the coilovers not really something I need but could be tempted who knows if I change the wheels maybe work something out?

Will do, will have a think over the next week or so if I really wanna fit them. I drove it last night and cursed the roads so much I said I wouldn't but then today again I was back in the mood for them lol

 

[gsmith]

Stop it. First coilovers now wheels the wife doesn't know how much the catback was wonder if I told her them wheels were £100 would she believe me. Lol. There advertised as rota drift grids wonder would they sit as nice as the bolas know there similar wheels but something tells me the drift grids sit really deep.

 

[gsmith]

No problem @collyirwin11 keep me posted.
@ABishop what spec are them wheels they look stunning.
