Right, i took my ST170 off the road over winter and i am just getting it ready to go back on the road in april. I am currently building an engine for the car but in the mean while i want a bit more poke. spec as it stands it

Typhoon K&N
Dreamscience
Mongoose Cat back
Exhaust Cam vernier retarded 8 degrees
underdrive pulleys
stage 3 clutch
Aluminium lightened flywheel
Short shifter
Ported TB
Full suspension/bush/brake rebuild.

Im running out of options, i did consider Bike ITB's but its allot of hassle for a short term fix.

The car has to have an MOT and last time it barely scrapped throught the emmisions test so its got no hope this time, i have just got a new lambda to help this along but am considering a sports cat.
Miltek do a sports cat and flexi pipe combo that looks good for £500, ford want £975 for just the cat from them and thats with a £45 surcharge back on the original cat

Will a sports cat make much difference, i wanted to fit new cams but the manufacturers do not reccomend the VVT being active on aftermarket cams. Bit stuck really, i have run out of options that dont involve big money and its the big money thats going into the other engine
Will a sports cat make more noise, i dont want the exhaust note any louder really
Thoughts?

 

sp3no phone milltek in derby ask for charly orpen head of sales they need someone to redesign the sport cat. i was supposed to call him after a chat at the autosport show.
ive just got off the phone with rik woods from cnc heads. im having his head and cams fitted in 2-3 weeks time 225-230bhp just head and remap. apparently my dreamscience stratagem can still be used as well. yes mate youve guessed it im going NA route on the st. decided to get a mk1frs and go from there with the fast turbo focus dream. searchin now

 

lol

 

Have a look at Cobra, see if they do a cat for the st170. I know they do them for the ST and are around £180, quite highly thought of too over on the stoc.

 

aww mate sorry lol let me find out if i need to keep my current settings before i get my head put on, pm an offer and you can have on of the lifes. bear in mind pumabuild charge £250 im only in brum as well

 

just a life or for the unit?

oh yeah forgot to say when i spoke to rick at cnc machine heads. he reckons the 220-230bhp is still running with the vvti and standard ecu just remapped. i know your saving for your turbo but you could buy that head cams springs followers,run round with it on for 12 mths then take it off and sell it. apparently the heads are well sort after for caterhams and westfields...

 

lol, i think ill give it a miss mate, i would of liked to of played around with different maps but as its just a life i wouldn't have any control over it but thanks for the offer mate
