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




Oh and my dads TDCi Sport with the RS wheels I gave him


Look forward to being part of the forum

am loving the blue st170

 

Very nice

 

very nice mate

 

Very nice but id be tapping the old boy up for a wheel swop

 

like them in black!!!

that TDCi sport looks well o nthe RS rims too fella.

 

Funny that, now the tyres need replacing he's trying to give em back to me!! Not sure whether to go with them on the 170 or keep it factory?

 

Haha tell him i'll swap my freshly refurbished 170 wheels for his RS wheels

Nice cars mate, how did you find the milltek on your first st170?

Rich

 

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.

 

I love the ST170s.Do the full leather seats on come on the 3drs cause ive been looking for a 5 dr ST170 for the mrs and i carnt find one with the full leather seats in.

 

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!!

 

Sweet thanks for that info.Arnt they heated seats too.The full leather seats ones i mean.

 

Yeah they are heated apparently the option for recaro leather was 1200 notes

 

Nice cars mate

 

very nice

 

oh no!! the pics of the VXR have gone dammit!!

 

The forum going tits up was a blessing in disguise perhaps?

 

Ha ha ha.

 

It's a small world,
You drive through Yateley some days, also seen your dads car a few times aswell. (both near to the junior school)
