just recently changed all mine on the 170 for tarox, but then again I dont do track days in mine, thats a fair price though for quality discs

PaulinhoT

Have you tried the kevlar pads Steve ?

This is awesome, makes me want to get down the garage and get a splitter made for my sierra! The focus looks great with the front all smoothed!

Also some nice footage, im going Combe in june so been watching it very keenly! (my 2nd track day)

The Underdog

I've booked for llandow April 16th. I want to go back to combe so prob be there for rs combe. Thanks for compliment.

I've managed to use the standard front discs that came when I bought car until now. They have lasted 3 yrs on track but warped on last outing. Iv no idea what make they were but been great. Godspeed looks cool as and cheaper than black Diamond etc.

Yes I have godspeed kevlar pads on the rear. Front are ferodo ds3 000. Worked great like that so see how the new discs perform soon.

Thank you. Enjoy your day at combe and post some vids if you can.

PaulinhoT

Cheers Steve, I'm really looking to improve the stopping power of my ST, and pads are an easy option, cheers.

The Underdog

Few weeks back I did a track day at llandow. Went well. Lsd was great and dropped my lap time from a federal tyre best previous of 48.5 to now a 47.8. Brakes were also phenomenal. Cars working well but I'm in the process of a full aero overhaul. New splitter which will hopefully be a diffused splitter and side skirt splitters. Front wings are getting worked on and rear end diffuser will be improved. Pics in future but here's a video of Llandow for now.

Cool video...the Puma gave a good fight in some corners!!!

What's the current spec on this?

The Underdog

Puma was pretty quick and drove well. He was on slicks so cornered well

Freeked

It was rapid...but not enough for the ST170

Sorry...I meant to ask the spec on your car, not the Puma

The Underdog

I don't think I can remeber all iv done but standard engine with map and exhaust cam vernier.
Polybushes. bc coilovers. New stiffer springs in rear. Whiteline rear arb modified to be stiffer.
Adjustable camber front and back. Track tyres. Half cage.stripped interior.ds3000 pads. All I can think of at moment

Freeked

Engine wise is that it? Exhaust? Decat? Throttle body?

The Underdog

Exhaust is a powerflow stainless.cat is standard. Standard air box with panel filter. Made 164bhp on dyno. Wish it was more.

Love the track day vids!! I'd love another st170 if I had the storage space. Car sounds like it's got a lot of torque, fair amount of wheel spin out of the corners

ajc.78

Not read this thread for ages. good to see the project is still going.

Freeked

That's 164whp?

The Underdog

Thank you. Thinks it's more a case of me hopping over the curbs and wheels lifting than outright power.

Hello aj how's things? Do you still have your focus?

I wish. Flywheel 164.

mattxr3i

That goes very well for the 164bhp readout - what was the torque because I think that is where these ST170 motors shine. If they had stacked 1st 2nd and 3rd better the ST170 would have faired better against its rivals on the road tests

The ST17Os go well imo. Well mine did but at the moment it a bit poorly.

The Underdog

It would be ace with shorter gears. The torque was 154ftlb. 10 up on standard.
On the rollers it was really rich he told me and thought I could be losing up to 15bhp.
I'm using a Dreamscience handset for maps and I had it on a setting for standard filter as I'm running airbox. When I got back from rollers I changed the map setting to a different map for cone filters and leaned it out 4% wot and it definatley felt a better. So maybe now it's more than 164 slightly but iv not been back.

mattxr3i

Well, whatever the reading no one can deny that that is a very healthy st170. Nice torque too.

The Underdog

Thanks. Booked on for rs combe. Can't wait.

The Black Count

Hope to get my focus on track at llandow later in the year will be interesting to see how much slower mine is. will look out for you at rs coombe

The Underdog

What's the specs of yours? Take some video of your track time.

The Black Count

After watching your last video I finally got off my arse and booked a couple of track days at Llandow, July and August so Thank you. hope to use my 2.0 3 door focus

The Underdog

I'm going to upload pics of my latest work but here's a video first. Pics when I get time.

Rstar_man

Looks good dude, I cant remember if you removed the spare wheel well or not?

The Underdog

Thanks. Yes I did remove it a while back. Made doing this pretty easy

Looking good that. It looks like a proper race car.

The Underdog

Thanks glenn

PaulinhoT

Oh now that looks like a proper job Steve well impressed.

Can I ask, did you rotate the rear exhaust pipe thus allowing it to sit in the middle, or did you adapt another bit of pipework ?

STeve

iTrader: (11)

liking the thought gone into this

The Underdog

Thanks Paul. Yes it was a simple rotate and it was perfect in the middle. Because it's fixed to diffuser I cut it up and added a flexi.

Thanks it don't look much but the hours it's taken is unreal. Cheers.

The Underdog

Flexi fitted

PaulinhoT

Looking good, and does that just do what it says on the tin ? as in giving it a little allowance on movement ?

The Underdog

Yeh it's all good on some test runs.

The Underdog

Drop down bonnet vent.
