hiya guys and girls i am new to the site and must say there is some very tasty fords on i thort id come on and say hey and ask some information and opions on my g/fs car soon to be mine if i can hurry up and find a job so i can have the car off her and start the project. it is a 1.8 zetec it currently has sports cat, cat back system (well a pipe lol) k&n style air filter , lowerrd about 50mm all round and a set of 17 inch team dynamics my planes if i get the car are
- full respray in capri blue the one of the usa focus svt i belive does anybody know the colour code for this?
- st front bumper,fogs and little spolier on the back
- coilovers to be added as the car still handles like a boat thought the lanes
- front upper and lower strut brace
- de-cat as the sports cat bottoms out on the speed bumps around here
- bucket seats but still on slding mounts to allow use to the back than on track days will fit harness for the day
but then i want to build a strong fun N/A engine so is the 1.8 a good base for this as i no with the cams out of the rs 1800 or aftermaket cams the 1.8 can push 130 with out any more mods so would adding 4-2-1 decat head works cams itbs etc be worth it on the 1.8
or do i go for the 2.0 and do the same kinda mods or the st170 engine but from what i have read seems more work to get in and running
for the people who say drop a rs engine i would do this but i would rather buy a proper rs or another turbo car if i wanted to go down the turbo route but for this car N/A is the way forward i will leave you with a few pics of how the car looks now so any infro would be great guys cheers
