Default ST170 to VXR to ST170 again!

Just joined thought i'd post some pics of how I got to my current ST170..sorry if it's a bit long!!

My First ST170, no options, I added Cat Back Milltek, Lowered on Eibach, Bluefin, and about 100 layers of wax!!

Added some RS wheels direct from Ford, minus the centre caps here

Then owned this for a year

Then moved in with the GF which meant the VXR had to go, thought I could cope with the power (or lack of) of the 2.0 8V

So then i managed to bag this from my uncle.
52 plate ST170, 55,000miles, Full FSH, Full leather heated recaro, Spolier and AudioPhile upgrade with Sub in boot. Little un cared for, but getting it back to it's former glory

I'll ask him!!! but seeing as he got Ł1300 wheels/tyres for free i can't see him letting them go!!!

Didn't really notice much in the way of performance gains with the Milltek, sounded nice though. Noticed more of a difference with a de-cat on the standard system, although it did make a 'tinny, rasping' sound when revved.

Can def recommend Bluefin though, makes the car much more driveable.

They do yes, the full leathers are recaros but not many of them about as they were quite an expensive option!

The standard seats in the st170 are half leathers, which imo i prefer, less hot in the summer!!
