  1. mk2 focus st and rs are glorious sounding cars... heavy tho like all new cars! Best thing is the engine! There epic win!
  2. Yes, but at the minute, any more boost blows the spark out... So coil2plug is my next step but more then enough power for the minute lol! Cheers matey!
  3. Be VERY careful with these things chaps... They may make huge bangs and flames which may "look cool" but the payoff will most likely be good bye piston or a rod! They break engines! So dont go mad with the GAIN.
  4. Taggy... Give the bores a hone and get james pistons in there... You just need it to run for this season. If it fails again it fails.... Its not cost u very much, bar labour... If it goes pop, just try get the 5e in it! Sucks mate and aaddzz123 & kidV both did the exact same thing! adam did his on a ct9! THere is no warning, it will just fail one day, shit really! Gotta remember tho, these engines are like 14years old at least! So unless rebuilt NON are minters!
  5. So! Shes back home again, and its time for the big clean before the first event of the year for me, which unfortunatly is a meet to say farewell to our good fellow EP Tuner, Dave Burwash! Working on the back first, took the wheels off. They were on the front but due to low tread were swapped to back for the dyno runs! Previous CV Boot Failures and 6months of dirt caked on was a right pain to get off! That simply wont do! Disgusting! Dont worry too I have new tyres to go on them! So after alot of GUNK cleaner, and good brushing... Yeh mayte! While the wheels were off, I thought id wip my Coilovers off, give them a good clean (been on car from JDM) and maybe give the arches some treatment too! They werent as mucky as I thought they would be, but still worthy of a clean! Thats better! Few more close ups for reference! Still amazes me how a 14 year old car be so mint underneath! I laughed when I jacked up 1 side of the car at the back, and the chassis is setup so stiff, i had both wheels off the floor hehe! The RARB has taken a battering, but nothing bad enough to warrant me taking it off to get re-done just yet! Always makes me giggle when I see the size of the exhaust too haha! Then I thought to myself, I dont use the car in the rain or snow or in winter at all, it isnt my daily drive... But I still want to protect it.. Underseal was the answer! Before: During: After: It will dry matte with no shine at all, which shouldnt take long in this heat! Been talking to a local garage about borrowing a ramp on a sunday to do the rest of underside... But if I do the arches for now its a start! More to come Folks
