hi there peeps. i brought the focus about 2 weeks ago now, i will say it a nice car to drive, handle pretty well for standard and power wise it not too bad.

As im abit of a OCD freak i clean my cars about 3-4 times a week, cant stand a dirty car, even my work van spotless.

Anyway she fully standard.

First thing i notice was i had savage wheel wobble when i would get to 50MPH and above, turn out after some inspection that the driver side front caliper decided to seize soild and warb the disc and shag the pads =[

Here what ive done to now:

fully serviced.

indriam plugs ( i know some st170 owners dint recokmended them but mine seem to run so much smoother,)

Gonna powdercoat the wheels a custom orange sparkle which ive made at work.

Fully underpaint the car ( Chassis paint and underseal the arches)

Get the whole car so it seems it came out of the factory..

Plan on getting the newer shape st badge and putting it on the rear and painting it orange.
A fiesta st front badge for the grill, ( seen it on the internet)

and basically enjoy it....

cheers for reading my thread and hope to see some of you guys at the fortcomming shows

im a bit of a 170 fan so look forward to seeing what you do with this.

 

Hope I don't dissapoint I got Thursday an Friday off work to start to OCD the focus. First will be replacing the bolts, and finding undersealing the car.

 

Looking good

 

Fiannlly pulled my finger out and done some work on her.

started to paint the underneath with chassis paint. seem to look good so far.

over the next couple weeks ill be taking brackets off and powdercoating them at work, if there too w@nked ill make some up at work.

Debating on what coulors to paint the wheels, weather i do them orange, maybe a custom dark grey ive made up....

Pictures shall be up very soon.. Just struggling to find time

cheers guys
