As above.......thinking of selling the Mondeo ST and getting a Focus ST. I know it's never gonna be great on fuel and certainly nowhere near what I get with the Mondeo, but what should I expect??

Thanks

 

Less than 30, luckily I was only borrowing it for a few days

 

mine is aweful, mine is stage 2 , but average is 21.5mpg

 

21 is a bit scarey! 25+ would b not bad

 

when you nail it the trip computer says 5mpg lol thats scary

 

on a long journey cruising 35-40 all day long town use 20-23
mixed driving 22-28 and thats with or without the car mapped. just depends on your control of ure foot and speed

 

I'm averaging 26.5mpg with mixed driving.

 

Lol bet it is,can't wait tho lol

 

I could live with that. Standard?

 

No it's about 300bhp, but MPG hasn't really changed since it was standard.

My mods are,

DS Mod X remap
Milltek 3" turbo back exhaust system with sports cat
Airtec intercooler
RS injectors
RS plugs
AS inlet plenum
K&N cais.

 

Sounds like a bit of a beast yours does.

Would any of you be wary of a 2007 with 90k miles and no history????? What should I look out for??

Thanks

 

My ST170 does about 22mpg around town, 16mpg if I drive around doing 70 in second gear (not in town).

 

thats exactly what we used to get out of our old st and our focus rs is exactly the same with mixed driving.

 

If it has no history then I would avoid it. There is so many of them on the second hand market that you have plenty to choose from! You need proof that it has been serviced regularly, turbo'd cars don't like missing services much!

 

I get 23-28 around town about 34+ motorway
Full exhaust
Pro alloy cooler
As inlet
Ggr cais
Rs injectors
Rs fuel pump


330 bhp 391 lb apparently lol

 

Mine has a full history including all the pdi's and is on 110k dont use oil still very tight , the only reason I got the car was due to how well it's been looked after and the history

 

Hmmm,might avoid it then!

I NEED a black ST3 now,got the bug and can't shake it lol

 

I changed my Mondeo ST to a Focus ST. I was surprised how comfy the ride is compared to the Mondeo - not as comfy, but still very good that you can do long trips without back ache etc..

I did 20,000 miles last year in mine and I'm still averaging over 30mpg. I do 75 miles a day on busy roads so keep it at about 60>70mph so can be economical if you drive it leisurely.

I do have more "exhilarating" moments though but it's stayed over 30mpg somehow. Bluefin stg2 + Airtec Gen2 intercooler. No other performance mods.

Things to check:
Alternators - especially 06 platers
Oil Diaphragm replaced yet? If it whistles a bit, then pull the dipstick to stop = needs replacing
Front lower bushes replaced with powerflex stiffen things up nicely at the front.

They're generally pretty reliable if well looked after - walk away if there's not a good service history.

 

They look the tits in black mate

 

30mpg is great! I don't get much more than that in the Mondeo about the doors! Thanks for the advice

 

Do like your car still Richie - best looking ST out there I reckon... even if it is a 5 door

 

Richie - that is fucking awesome looking!!!

 

Getting about 22mpg with mine according to the trip - with mixed driving.... althought its usally boot down !!!

 

Cheers You know what they say, more doors, more whores lol

 

I'd like some black lights for mine rich

 

It's a 5 door for me then.......

 

Fackin hell jay, keep forgetting mate, I am more than happy to do them for you but it would take me a while in between jobs, I'm a busy man

 

I thought this thread was to pleasant !!!!

A 2 door is the way forward

 

We can do a trade I'll bung you some carbon bits and you do my lights lol

 

Have u gloss painted the grill and fog light surrounds?

 

Can I have your RS wheels please Richie? Swap with my spare set of black wheels... they'd look good on your black beastie...

 

I used to have wheels just that colour lol

 

^^^^^very nice!

 

Sounds good mate, it would take me 2-3 weeks or so to do between other commitments. Every time I do a set I swear I am never doing them again as they are a bastard lol

 

Would quite like an FST, but as I cannot afford one then I'm gonna be getting a Mondeo ST220.

 

ST220..... Nooiiicee !

 

That looks evil mate !

 

very tasty mate !

 

Will be when I can find one in my price range. Ford made a bit of a cock up not putting the FST engine in imo. Just wish I could afford an FST so I could have turbo power!

Some lovely cars on this thread. not jealous at all......

 

Keep searching mate ! sure there will be one comes up - you'll still have around 220bhp at your right foot and one helluva sweet sounding V6 .... yep some lovely cars on this site ! , spend hours ogling everyones pride and joy ... but im not jelaous......

much
