Default Performance Blue Focus ST225

Recently returned to Ford ownership, always enjoyed the community and atmosphere at events. Previously had a Fiesta RS Turbo highly modified and a Focus RS Mk1.

Picked this up last weekend, Focus ST2 with 70k miles, block mod, cam belt change, dream science stainless exhaust system and de-cat and a few other bits.



Bought an hour away from a small dealer who specialises in sports cars, they had this traded in. Good look round it, and a test drive which went fine, so a deal was struck and the car was mine.

And a week later, a whole weekend was spent detailing the car inside and out, and fitting a few bits I had bought which consisted of a Mountune Gearknob, Mountune floor mats, Heko wind deflectors and I painted the side wing badges satin black (don't like the chrome).

Think it looks pretty nice for a 12 year old car...







Future plans, get a mountune map, front splitter, side skirt extensions and maybe a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels in gloss anthracite.

Loved mine to bits and it's the only car I really regret selling. When I am finally in the position to be able to afford another toy I will definitely be having another!
