Thumbs up Performance Ford - New Issue!

Yep, it's that time again folks and in this months PF, available at your local magazine retailer, you'll find...

Pumabuild's GT30-equipped rather fruity Focus ST in all its glory...




Jez's amazingly finished Mk4 Escort, the famous Carrera Escort is back, and now even better...


See what happens when James lost his Gatebil virginity, and how AG Motorsport got on in Norway land...


We headed off, away from our catastrophic summer to warmer climates at the second annual FordModifiedClub show in Malta...


PJ Motorsport are celebrating their tenth year in business; we joined them for a slice of cake and a YB plenum...


After seeing my good self smash the DORF's time last month Nick begged and pleaded to have a go in his Escort RS Turbo now it's back up and running, did he beat the DORF? Did he beat me for that matter? Hmmm...


Ford's aren't normally the normal car of choice for drifting but this Irish 3-door is more than upto speed with getting his arse right out...


It's packed with Clarkson wannabes but is also a bloody good day out; the motorsport garden party that is the Goodwood Festival of Speed...


Gambles tagged along on the Matech Racing Ford GT's UK debut at Snetterton, got soaked and then saw a proper car unleashed in anger...


We take our ST back to Mountune for a coilover upgrade...


And, in tech we put a straight-cut gearset back-to-back, show you how to buy the Rouse 304R, jargon bust ceramic coating, show you what's going on inside the MTX MMT gearbox and plenty more...

Yes we have done a buyers guide on one YONKS back, and yes we get the odd Fiesta Si, but not as many as we'd like as they tend to be overlooked.

i shalln't disclose til you see the mag but there is a wicked pic of the car, looks like they almost got all 4 wheels are off the ground going through the esses
got a similar pic of mine when i had a go, mine is just the rear wheels though

Shame you have so far to travel Mickey, you would love it it's hard not to clip the cones for the little chicane though

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone!

Purple Fiesta - Not sure if we did actually, I'll check with James as it sounds good to me!

Gus - Perhaps the arches would suit yours but seriously mate, you've got your loom, now enjoy it for a bit at least...

Hitchwest - Nope, a Merkursport owners club meeting from when Nick went to the US of A. Cheshire is coming VERY soon though!

D7AKE - Cheers Si, cheque's in the post!

PORKIE - As above, thanking you.

Micky - When you're over with the car next time, or at the next show let us know and we'll try and slot you in for a session round the track if you fancy it?

IANRS2k - No it hasn't. Studio lighting a good snapper and a very clean and superbly finished paint job.

DOJJ - 365mm front and rear. 12-pot front, 6-pot rear. Not sure what went on there but I'll investigate!

Thanks Dan, it's one of those cars that has been styled for function rather than looks.

You should see it now, the arches have been pulled right out, and the plastic arches are now riveted on. Looks quite cool!

I think I have a pic on my phone somewhere, I'll try and dig it out later.


Thank to everyone else that's commented. We were quite pleased with our efforts.

Next month should be a rather good one as well!
