My focus st225
Well here are some pics of the new motor. I've had it 5 weeks now and absolutely love it! the power and the handling is great and its such a well built car. I've always wanted one and held out til a Electric orange one came about and now I'm in a good position to afford one. The running cost and tax was'nt really a issue due to my astra being a 2.0 TURBO so tax and mpg are the same, the st guzzles a bit more but not much more.
Any way here are some pics.
also plan on some decals like this which is different from most st's with the usual white stripes.
Well decided to try out some plastidip spray on my wing badges. Will let the pics do the talking.

After
Jobs done so far is k&n gen 2 and also a dreamscience remap. The car pulls a lot better now and I've also got other maps to choose from

Thanks for comments. Seems you all missed it after getting rid.
I also found out 2 weeks after getting this I'm gonna be a dad for the first time. No plans on getting rid thou I love it and it's a safe car with a big boot

Well I've not updated for awhile so heres a few bits and pics.
Well not long after getting this I found out the misses is pregnant so I purchased our child seat as I'm not getting rid of the focus.
Got it all tracked on my mates fancy new equipment.
Also instead of paying out for a cat back system which doesnt see any gains on the ST I decided to do the de-res mod which now sounds like this.

Then a group buy came up on the airtec gen 3 so was rude not to
Picture is a bit hard to see but its fitted. looks great behind the grills with the orange letters

Looking at the threads on st owners club it's a pain but not to hard. Just need a press and a blow torch to burn the old bushes out. My mate will be doing it but ill let you know how it goes. People have managed in their own garage without a press so imagine its not to hard

The guy i bought my RS off has got a nice orange ST up for sale on Ebay, looks like a nice car and he was a really decent honest guy that was also a Ford enthusiast and new his stuff. I wouldn't hesitate in buying from him again.

I'm running a dreamscience map and K&n panel filter. I noticed it was a bit more responsive and also the intake temps have dropped a fair bit since fitting it.
