Whats everyone going to be doing in 2014?

New car, rs or the 1.1 turbo fez with the body kit on or if I loose my job in March then a mk6 st that's already been modified

The Zetec s Ecoboost Kenny?

Sounds promising Kenny, bored already of the or just not into it??

New car I think

As well as the RS or replacing it?

Pfft aswell as spent far too much money on the RS to sell it
Be an evo 5 or 6 for track but we will wait and see, only an idea atm tbh

Amazing to see how individual the cars have become now in the project threads, seemed to be a time where everyone did the same thing

Im thinking getting the MT CAIS, lighweight flywheel on the performance front. Then white side stripes and union jack for the roof.

The only thing with lightweight flywheel is, id be worried about ruining the day to day driveability, dont know how much affect these have on the ST

I dont think anyone has done it yet so ill find out.

yeh not really feeling the love with the new st,not like my mk6 that was my baby lol who knows really might just end up buying a bmw m3 knowing me lol

you should have got the MT CAIS today Jack. was in Mountunes sale

M3 would be sweeeeeeeet

E46? Rear end fun

nothing really, am thinking of going back to black under bonnet.

Orange Focus ST like mine

Was thinking about a focus st as it would work out the same as what I'm paying now for the fez so another option

Yessssssss

test drive Bexx's, im sure she'd let ya

Cant make up ypur mind then lol

Nope not at the moment,I will pick one when I'm due to hand the fez back so could end up with anything really lol

What mods are you looking for on the mk6 Kenny?

Supercharged!

it would need to be turbo or supercharged if i ever did go back so really all the work would need to be done no messing about then

still looking at my options but i will most likely get a mk2 rs

Speed comfort and should be pretty reliable

And they sound like a dog growling

I'm planning on lowering, axle spacers (already bought, just not fitted) and Milltek resonated. Hopefully by this time next year, cams and a re-map too.

I'd love to have jenveys and a little extra sat in a tank to have a boost when needed but don't think that will happen

Jenveys??

Throttle body's robs

A tank as in nos?

Thin nos is about £1000 to set up. That would be a real Paul Walker tribute

Ah ok

Trouble is with Nos...danger to manifold

And ever so slightly flammable

Not to be put into a Mitsubishi Eclipse

Ye minimum of 1k upto 2k for a full kit and computer so you can change how and when it comes in there's a type r in hull with it and it's amazing

Lee ur a nutter

Sounds like fun, be careful of those piston rings, sorry will stop now

It's all slowly slowly though rob

My plans are
New Wheels
Triple R Rear diffuser
Downpipe and sports cat
high pressure fuel pump
FMIC
Revo Stage 2+

however if I end up moving abroad, not sure if I should do it all or not

Move abroad??? Ur already abroad

Yeh do it, it makes you happy!!

move abroad from NL...

Its quite possible that next year I may have a full time job in the middle east, only going back home to NL for a few weeks a year

So in that case should I really spend all that money when I can only enjoy my car for a few weeks of the year

would love Nos as well

doubt ill be doing anything now, think ive hit end of the road now without going silly money

Haha Liam I like thy silly money your have mr200 some see that as silly money

silly money

yeah i was thinking that i was typing. Ill correct myself, any further amounts of silly money

Convertible Liam??????

Oh really, well that's fair enough, I see ur point

That is true stevie, its only going to sit and depreciate

Ive already been looking at what I will get if I move to the middle east.
It will be funnnn

Well fords are now looking for a st3 for me .

Nice one Kenny

Whats the prices like out in the middle east?

Well they can do one not paying that sort of money might as well get the st repaired and get stage 1 revo lol

A big bastard 4x4 for the sand dunes???

Is fuel cheap out there???

Fair enough Kenny, haven't looked at focus ST prices in ages, when did they make them until? Or are you looking at MK3?

The last Mk2 Foci were in 2011.

give me a saw and that wont cost much

perfect

Prices of cars are dirt cheap, as are prices for fuel.

Fuel, lets just say a 50 litre tank is filled for £4

The 3 main cars I'm looking at are...



Challenger SRT8



Mustang GT



Camaro SS

All of these with big V8s with around 450bhp and all brand new for less than £32k

or alternatively for the same price I could get

any of the big american SUVs with big V8
Mercedes Benz A45 AMG
Audi A4 with a 3.0 V6
2nd hand Dodge Viper from 2005

or if I push the boat out a little further
2nd hand Jag F type
2nd hand Aston Martin Vantage
Merc C63 AMG

50ltr tank for £4.........??!! Ru serious!!!!!

Some serious cars there mate!

yep im serious about the fuel
dirt dirt cheap
hence why you can afford to run a big V8

so far I'm swaying towards the Mustang, but a Merc A45 AMG is tempting...

Nah not the A class, the Muang GT is awesome!!

Brand New Focus ST for £16k ??

Very nice, however if you miss a single payment they put you in prison...

That's insane!!!

Well focus st prices are dirt cheap if u had cash but fords are just insane,the new Zs was coming out at the same price as what I'm paying now so really no point,so might as well just stick with the st for now

M3 Kenny, awesome car

Noooo, stick with Ford

Apparently need to watch the rear subframe or something like for rust, as its thousands for a replacement on hte M3, its well documented on tinternet anyway

Which age is that the E36 or E46?

Pretty damn sure it was the E46

Wouldnt expect that from BMW.

btw Stevie, would have to be the challenger for me

I think BMW will actually pay towards, whether they have stopped that now I'm not sure though

Can't choose between the Challenger or Mustang

Friends making me some carbon mirrors next year. And some new suspension if i'm lucky!

Challenger

Sounds good Jack, just going mirrors or more to follow??

Coilovers Jack? Shame your not staying with the gloss blacks.

im actually surprised with the Challenger votes coming from you Ford nuts
Challenger is very nice

but I've just seen the new C7 Corvette is also in the budget

mmmmmmm

Oh god not with the Yank bling chrome wheels......!!

I don't know think they look alright

I hate chrome wheels.......!!!

Gun metal grey?

my plan is to enjoy it! i dont have anything else to do to mine, katies becomes the project now

Looking into GAZ, they seem to be what i'd want.

Nothing more than those bits of carbon, i've never been one to go and do carbon trends but a small bit its always subtle!

Theres always more dan. Port and ploished head, 2.3 lump, itbs, oversized valves etc

Definitely sounds good Jack

Going to have a look at a silver st3 fully loaded still not sure tho

Orange

What age kenny?

I did ask for orange bex but they want an extra £1000 and it's an older model,

It's on a 09 plate and fully loaded sat nav etc

Ah ok, silver sounds good though! We can still be Focus Friends

How abt a red facelift focus Kenny, rocking horse sh*t rare and bloody lovely

Sound good Kenny

Red ftw

see, Lee knows

Well the silver one turned out to be a 5. Door but they found me a white 3 door on a 09 plate with 60k on the clock with a two year warranty and new black alloys for 13k seem way way over priced now there on my case oh and they want a £500 deposit lol

Too high mileage for me that..........

Mental money for that!

people are asking silly money for them recently......!!!

I'd be surprised if I got all this done this year but this is my to-do list:

Fit lowering springs (bought already)
Fit 12.5mm rear axle spacers (soon to be bought)
Get a different back box (I'm finding the Piper too loud)
Sport cat
Replace rear discs and upgrade pads (I've got standard pads atm), and either do the same for the front or go for a 300mm front brake upgrade.
Remap
...and a few cosmetic touches like overlays and badges.

Sounds reasonable mate

What exhaust you going for??

A resonated Milltek. Either that or get just a custom back box made.
Is the Mountune one the same as a Milltek btw?

No, Mt exhaust is Mountune its just made by Milltek. Sound is different. I dont see the point in resonated, its as quite as standard exhaust.

good list to get you going what other power mods you got currently? fear a remap would be a waste of your money currently for too small a gain

is the piper really that loud then??

Oooooooh yes

Surely that's part of getting a performance exhaust tho....??

In my opinion yes

My bike is mental loud, the only way to be imo

Plus I wear moulded ear plugs and crash helmet so its a lot noisier behind me haha

dont want it to be too loud without going anywhere though, need to find the balance between a fast hot hatch with performance noise and a chav down southend on friday night in his corsa

yeh spot on

Cool, thanks. I like the Milltek sound so I won't bother with the Mountune.


Well yes, I got it to sound louder and better. It's not so much the volume, it's more that it's loud when I don't want it to be and the low frequency drone gives me a headache. Plus I have tinnitus anyway so it doesn't help. I've hardly been going out for drives since I had it put on.


Once I get a sport cat it will be a full stainless. Got a K+N and a 60mm TB too, though not sure if the TB really does anything. Not planning on doing many more engine mods.

if your not going for anything else then not an issue throttle body wont give you an increase in power as such, just increased air flow so the engine will be allowed to breath a lot better

I went with the 20.5mm spacers and the wheels sit nice and flush with the rear arches. No rubbing as yet with Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs.

spacers are a great starter mod

they do look nice and wide from behind . The only time mine have rubbed is with two people in the back and a lot of luggage and i was going a bit quick over two humps in the road that were pretty close together. I didnt know they were there lol

How are people going with their plans? Im not doing too well

I'm doing ok, all still on track...

Poly bushes and silicone coolant hoses are also something I want to do.

Good progress there Jimmy

Good going

Mountune car mats is the furthest I've done lol. Just going to replace stuff with uprated parts when they wear out now

id like to polybush the whole car, rear strut brace and bucket seats but will only do that when i dont need her as a daily runner

Since I'm going to Saudi, the mods on the Leon will not be finished.
Actually towards the end of the year I will probably have to think about selling her.

Just have to decide what to buy in Saudi now. They have good Deals on Camaros at the minute...

still may swap all my hose covers and go back to black in the engine bay.

I'm doing alright too! She's been lowered and spacers have been fitted. Exhaust next, cams and map not looking likely for this year now though.

Done quite a lot this past 6 months...

Also: Fast road cams, front strut brace, rear anti-roll bar, poly-bushed torque link, bonnet struts, mudflaps

Not many further plans since I'm happy with most aspects of the car, but I plan to fit braided brake hoses and possibly upgrade to an organic clutch if the clutch gets near to needing changing. Considering getting an lsd at the same time but not sure if it will be worth the cost. Might have the dash flocked next year as I find the dash too reflective in summer, and it also looks better imo.

Good stuff

Very nice buddy
