Morning people! Yet another newbie who's been floating around on here for a while but never really posted anything, so though I'd introduce myself. I'm Mike, 23 from Camberley in Surrey, normally float around in the tech sections on the FFOC.

Drive a 1.7 CDTI 05 Astra Estate as daily driver and have a 2.0 Focus which I recently finished completing a GT25RS turbo conversion on as my fun car, when I can afford to keep it fueled!

So, here's the car...




Rough spec of it...

-2.0 Blacktop Zetec
-Garrett GT25RS Turbo
-Focus RS Pistons/Rods
-Focus RS Injectors
-Focus RS Fuel Pump
-Focus RS Clutch
-Aquamist 1S System
-Eibach Springs/Dampers/ARBs
-ST170 Brake Conversion
-Red Stuff Pads / EBC Turbo Dimpled & Grooved Discs

That's the main bits with it really, so at the moment it should hopefully see me out to around the late 200 mark...

Now I've got it back, I'm bored of it, I enjoy taking it apart and fitting things, so as a result I've just bought a Wet Nitrous Oxide kit for it to give me something to do.

Further plans for it are at some point:

-Camshafts
-Inlet Manifold (Not a major one on my list just yet)
-Cylinder Head (Perhaps an ST170 head)
-Bigger Turbo (i.e. GT2871RS or similar spec)
-Exhaust Manifold
-ST170 Interior

Chances are, if I start going for some of the above, I'd probably need some new internals as most people seem to take the RS ones out around the 300-350bhp mark from what I can see? That right?

Think that's about all I've got for it for now. Car needs a bit of a tidy up really, there's a nice dent in the O/S/R door which I've never got round to sorting as it doesn't make it go faster, so that needs to be done, need to tidy up the interior a bit, paint is starting to flake on dial surround.

So that's about it really...

Many other people around the Bracknell/Guildford/Reading area? You guys ever have local meets or anything like that?

welcome to the site, cool car

 

 

afternoon, nice little conversion there

 

Welcome mate cool car.

 

Welcome! Looks good.

What exhaust manifold you got?

 

Cheers guys!

Graham S1 - Just a standard manifold at the moment mate as the turbo has a Zetec flange. It came off a T230 Focus which used the original manifold so thought I'd follow suit...

Was toying with the idea of putting a OBX manifold on it, but given all the reported issues of them cracking, I decided to leave it for now...

Will - Indeed, finally made it over... Makes a change from just seeing all Foci...
