Well i have bought a new car yesterday, totally changed my mind about getting another Honda and decided on this Focus.

Used to work work for Ford years ago and loved these cars when i got a shot of one. So picked up this ST-2 model, hated the cloth interior so first thing first was to rip it out and fit full recaro leather i bought last week. Really makes a big difference. Also the side stripes will be coming off! Car drives great and really like the useable torque it gives, plus the 5 pot sounds good.

Car is standard at the moment, but already got a Group A K&N filter coming and 3" decat pipe. Other plans are 3" down pipe, and 3" cat back, bigger intercooler and a stage 2 Revo map. This should see over 300hp and 350lb/ft.









 
Very nice bud. Look forward to seeing it sometime soon. Plans sound good as well :nice:
 
love these mate proper nice car to drive iv got myself a facelift with around 300bhp the sound is sooo very addictive. im sure you know you will love it

Yeah it really is nice to drive, loving it. Whats been done to yours mate?
 
Looking good, however I personally prefer the cloth seats, my mate has the leather in his!

Just budget for an RS clutch when running that kind of power.

Have bilstein B8 shocks to compliment my Eibach springs going on Thursday :)
 
Bit of a soft spot for these. Cracking engine and can sound rather Group B-esque with the right mods.
 
Well bits have been fitted to the car now, first up was the decat pipe followed by the induction kit





Then was at the rolling road at the weekend there just to get a starting figure for the car. Running 217hp and 260lb/ft. Wee bit down on power but have more torque than standard.

The intercooler is restricting the car at the moment, the intake temps were high on the runs so a larger intercooler has now been ordered and should arrive this week





 
Is that good for a ST? I have no idea what they are standard.
