nice car, you binning the plastic intercooler for a better one as the end tanks on the old ones split. std coolers anyway
Posted By: Steve285 Re: Focus WR ST 285 - 28th May 2007 9:04pm
Not sure if standard intercooler or not yet as i say it has been tuned by wolf and compared to my mates focus st3 there are so many diffrences under the bonnet and according to ford was 15 seconds a lap faster than a standard st at a recent performance test it was used for
Posted By: MrPhil Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 28th May 2007 10:17pm
just behind the bumper is the cooler as the pipes connect to it they are plastic if not it is a uprated intercooler. passionford.com has some useful tips

Posted By: Steve285 Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 29th May 2007 7:00pm
not sure yet not had a week am tempted to maybe send it back to wolf as they can up it even further to 330bhb but am not sure if that would be too much for a front wheel drive think
Posted By: Johnny Alan Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 29th May 2007 10:06pm
You will have to bring it to the next meet bud and take me out for a spin. Did you trade the scoob in or sell private?. Really did like the scooby shame but I think you new motor is nice to and its a bit different to most.
Posted By: Steve285 Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 29th May 2007 10:34pm
rhys aka johnny alan it will be at next meet and yes i will take you out for a spin i traded scooby in but it needed a new clutch and brakes again and i bought a dog so i needed a hatch back lol

Posted By: Steve285 Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 29th May 2007 10:54pm

Posted By: Steve285 Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 29th May 2007 10:58pm
have just been looking at extras list and realised it has also got smoked headlights that saved me 500 quid cool
Posted By: turbo_stu Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 29th May 2007 11:28pm
nice to see an st running abit more power! just a note, many people that have upped the power on the st have found that the driveshafts tend to fail (thats cheap engineering for you!) so if you happen to get a clicking noise from the front area it will probabily be that.

oh and go for the 330hp upgrade, you know you want to!
Posted By: CustomIce Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 30th May 2007 9:06am
Nice mate, looks like quite a packed engine bay!
Posted By: StuyMac Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 31st May 2007 7:36am
Looks well nice matey, just a pity its not a 4x4 or RWD frown
Posted By: Sanchez Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 31st May 2007 8:32am
oh mr negetive stuy mac, it is possible to have fun in a f/w drive car, pitty you 180 doesn t get drivin and sits still to rust !
Posted By: StuyMac Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 31st May 2007 8:43am
Ture, true, but Im just not sure if 285bhp through the front wheels is fun or just scary omg

The 180 will be back, the last time it was driven in anger was on the way to tweeks with you, but with the rebuild I have in mind costing more than both your cars together, its never going to happen over night frown

whos is going to rebuild your engine for 50p chewy !
Posted By: Steve285 Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 31st May 2007 4:25pm
stu thats why i only opted for the 285 upgrade and not the 330 at the moment with it only being front wheel drive
Posted By: Steve285 Re: Steve285 : Focus WR ST 285 - 31st May 2007 4:32pm
