Talking First thread - first proper fast ford (Focus ST)

Hey all

Just thought I would post up my first thread of passionford. I've been a long term reader and never posted anything but I thought I would start so I could get involved with discussions and maybe some local meets around the Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire way

Car car is a Focus ST. Standard for now as I don't really know what to do with her, and she is my everyday runner. Been to Scotland and back and now to Guernsey with her - a fantastic long distance cruiser








With my misses who is awesome about the car)



I am tempted with a Remap - a custem one rather than one from a handset, and and intercooler and panel filter. Not to mention a wheel refurb - but it's all about the £££ isn't it lol (I'm not a credit card modder!)

Are there many other members with STs on the forum?

Be kind! lol

Very nice

But the turbo badge is not needed IMO but love how the Focus ST has the line though them.

A remap is a must. It makes the car so much better.

Looking good

You must have been a few down from me at Ford Fair as you are parked on the 21 (or is it 27?); I was parked on the 20 lol

A "Custom" map will be much the same as any of the handset maps from Bluefin, Dreamscience etc The ECU is clever enough to adapt to mods so mapping first is possible.

Where are you? I'm in St Neots if you want to go out for a spin in a remapped car with an uprated intercooler to see if you think it's worth the £££

Thanks for the welcome guys and the kind words

Dal_ that would be fantastic for a ride at some point I think I saw yours - was commenting on the wheel colour! Think it would look good on mine lol

the badge came from being an excort fan for many years - and the turbo....well it's my first petrol turbo lol

Got back from an epic drive after visiting the family on holiday. I do love this car

Get a bit worried every now and again about fuel though. Why is it so high?

Carlos...that's good to hear....so many people going away from them

Does reliability suffer with remapping them?

What do you mean fuel so high? Consumption?

Yeah they ain't known for good mpg!

No worries at all with reliability with a remap mate.
