be nice to see some pics of 225s in your stable

 

Cheep fixer upper too tinker with while I wait for the Sierra. I’ve done a few bits too it now think I’ll lower it soon and get wheels refurbished.

 

nothing wrong with that I find these cars great fun with plenty of tuning potential, sold mine bought 3 other fords and then went back to another and always puts a smile on my face

 

It is a great car I like it far more than I thought I would

 

My old '07 ST-3. Part-ex'd it against an M3 E46 SMG. Still have the wheels if anybody wants to buy them.

 

My current '10 ST-3, had since May 2014 and not likely to be selling anytime soon. It's totally standard aswell & has all the options (silver wheels, sat-nav, reversing camera) except power-fold mirrors. I would like to fit these but not sure if I would have the wiring.

 

very nice not a huge fan of grey sts but defo liking the blue one

 

I need to look at mine this week the heater only seems to be blowing hot air which isn’t the best in this weather lol

 

lol I actually forgot to put pics up myself

my last one


and my current toy

 

Nice cars ,I’m on the cusp of buying one

 

Nice cars, any reason why so many people say the pre facelift model is preferred over the later st?

 

for me I do like the pfl in looks more than the fl unless of course its RS as the st fl for me seams lack lustre and I had a 2010 st3 too and went back to a 2007 pfl, with right extras can look mean a fook plus you dont have the worry over keyless thefts, its really preference thing kyle

 

Cracking cars these. No wonder there so popular.

 

a hell of a lot of bang for your buck with correct upgrades

 

4.5 years with the grey one & just over 5 years with the blue one.

 

Sea grey is my favourite colour

 

I'm itching to buy an ST this year. I just can't decide what to go for. I like performance blue, sea grey and, of course, electric orange. There seems to be such a wide vary in price and miles, and the majority are down south. There's a place near Brum called J&R who seems to have 20 of them in stock, so might be worth me visiting them.

I'm also concerned about the issues many seemed to be plagued with, the block liners cracking. I know the block mod can be done, so I'd prefer one that this has already been done to, or a totally standard one that hasn't had pops n bangs mapped to it, as I bet that doesn't help matters.

 

To me orange is horrendous lol. Don’t mind white or red. It’s sea grey panther black then blue for me in that order.
Pop and bang map is for little kids lol. As long as you don’t nail the arse off it and it and look after it the block isn’t an issue. Tuned properly I read there good to 400ish or over for some without the mod. There’s a lot of scare stories. You read about 5 on line and it’s a major issue. There 100’s of thousands of them engine. Some act like there crack just reversing off the drive lol

 

Not a fan of Colorado red at all. It just looks flat as shit. White is nice, but wasn't that facelift only?

 

Not too sure I always wanted sea grey but found a panther black one really cheap. Needed a few jobs and high mileage. It’s got a full turbo back system sport cat big intercooler. Lower springs wheel spacers and an after market splitter now. Great cars to be fair

 

What did you pay if you don't mind me asking? What miles was it on and what jobs did you need to do.

 

Mines on 149’000 ish if I remember not used it properly a while now. 2500 I’m sure I paid it was about 2 years ago now. And silly faults. Fog light broken drivers seat wobbled about. Air con didn’t work. Few suspension knocks and it had a miss fire. Needed a good mop and polish as well. Pulls really well it’s been re mapped great car

 

No. One white on pre-facelift but 2 different whites on facelift.

 

my preface was frozen white they also did diamond white which looked creamy and not as nice

 

Frozen White replaced Diamond White in about 2007/8 didn't it? Seem to remember that it happened around the time they facelifted the MK6 Fiesta. Huge difference between them, that's for sure. Diamond looks really cream coloured next to frozen.

In the facelift Focus, you could get a pearl white too, which had a bit of blue in it IIRC.

 

No pics on iPad, I’ll log in on phone tomorrow plenty on there

 

I thought that it was Diamond White for pfl and Frozen White for fl with Electric White aswell

 

 

Nice looking car mate. They go well for money you pay

 

My 2007 on 62,000 miles.

 

About time for a thread bump come on folks show off your 225s

 

 

 

225s are starting to thin out a bit nowadys as rust and boy racers are chipoping away at numbers wont be long before they get really saught after again, this is my current mk2

 

Sits nice mate is it on coilovers? Is it true they do shafts quicker when lowerd ?

 

its on BC coilovers big issues are when folk play with suspension without altering or uprating driveshaft length ,droplinks or lower it way too far so often does put strain on shafts also some maps are very harsh on shafts imo DS maps are the worst

 

Thanks for info steve, I got cp340 software rs injectors from a lad off here got cooler and few other bits I hear it's a good reliable level ?

 

Used to run the cp340 myself until I uprated my turbo then I changed to the mountune mr375, the cp340 is good strong reliable map, if you have all the running gear needed then you should be pretty close to the 340hp figure
