How much money you got to spend on mods?

Conor Harrington

out 700 give or take i think im going to mod first then style later?

manoj

iTrader: (4)

Piper Cross Viper induction kit
ST170 Exh manifold & full ST170 CAT + flexi pipe.
ST170 dip stick tube when you fit the exh manifold.
ST170 PS pipe also needed.
ST170 Exh System - blueflame or Mongoose
remap\flash via DreamScience or Superchips Bluefin handheld units.

all the st170 stuff is bolt on, and will make a difference on the 1.8 Zetec engine.
More midrange torque and power + quicker acceleration.

If you want more power, change the throttle body to a 65mm item from CFM

I modified mine for less than Ł700. However, it was already lowered, colour coded & its a Focus Collection so the bodykit was standard. I did add the wheels, headlights, indecators, finished colour coding & fit a Leon Cupra R splitter.

1 exhaust system

2 induction kit

3 lowered (suspension kit if handeling is more your thing that power)

4 st170 manifold (and other mods already mentioned to make it fit)

5 remap

id look out for 2nd hand parts if i was you though, sometimes you can realy pick up a bargin

but id look to keep it clean and well looked after, power is all well and good but not in car that is uncared for, wheel refurbish kits can be brought quite cheap and make hell of a difference to a car

maybe you could do things like tint the lights which costs very little and (if its a face lift model) remove the orange lenses on the indicator and put a silver bulb in (about Ł15 for the bulbs but look much better with tinted lights imo )

btw id do mods and styling as an together thing depending on the parts that came up first for the price etc.

yeah well i will be doing engine mods first eveen though you mentioned doing styling first i know hat route i will slowly be adding rs parts for styling but engine mods have been great on here sounds like greta ideas and also
moomin aint they focus for sale on ebay
