How many Focus ST owners on here

[Sparky]

I blew one away yesterday,left him for dead

Wow you really are great

 

[Sparky]

Wheel #4 has arrived, will try to get them on tonight.

 

[Sparky]

Really?

You must be: a)in a severely bad postcode area, b) have points, c) had an accident or d) doing something wrong

I'm 23, with 5 years NCB and only pay £500 a year. Also with admiral/bell group

Not all policies are the same though, he may be covered for a lot more than you and have a lot less excess.

 

[Sparky]

Needs a good wash and phone pic so forgive me but, they are on!

 

[Sparky]

Still trying to find time to get coilovers fitted it will be done soon enough though.

 

[Sparky]

Was looking at the H&R Kit but not made my mind up yet.

 

[Sparky]

Got no intention of getting coilovers for mine, already got it lowered on eibachs, next step will be just to swap over to bilstein shock absorbers.

That might be a better idea. Last time i looked they were only £135

 

[Sparky]

Thanks mate will give it a good clean over the weekend and sort a better picture out.

 

[Sparky]

Hit the buy button on eibachs!

I'm going to have to unsubscribe...

I went from an ST2 to a new shape 320d msport coupe and I miss the Focus

I'd love to be able to push the boat out and get a bright green RS.

It's times like this (and when I use the mrs' Mini cooper) when I realise I'm an uncurable hot hatch lover.

Mate at work has a Mountune 350 White RS, keeps parking next to me the ****** . There must be between 5 and 10 ST and RS's in the carpark.

Shortly after giving it a good scrub, ****** down!

I once got overtaken by another Black ST in a 30mph zone, on a road that is no longer than 0.2 miles according to google, all so the neadnerthal behind the steering wheel could show off to his gaggle of barry boy mates that were inhabiting the car, what a weapons grade throbber he was.

throbber lol

 

[Sparky]

What do you think of the new one?

 

[Sparky]

I'd really like one of these, its my favorite hot hatch by far and its a realistic buy. Never heard anyone say a bad word about them, apart from the fuel economy.

I know nobody buys a hot hatch with mpg in mind, but I'm told its pretty poor.

I'm spending £200 a month on fuel at the moment averaging 38mpg, my commute is almost all country roads, dual carriage way and motorway, if these get about 28 that bill would go up to just under £300, which is a little eye watering.

On the other hand, its just £25 a week extra to drive something fun....interesting.

I'm half tempted to say stuff it and have fun for a year or two, got the rest of my life to be sensible.

Buying one with the intention of driving to eek that little extra bit of fuel out is great in principal, in reality, you get in and hit the loud pedal at every given oppurtunity!

 

[Sparky]

Throw enough money at the ST and it will eat a standard RS for breakfast, throw enough money at a RS and .....

My ST out performs a RS [ well the 2 standard ones that are at work] easily. The Mountune 350 RS is a little harder to beat,luckily the owner has no balls so generally i can out drive him.

All on the Bedford Autodrome of course

[Sparky]

Eibachs arrived on Saturday, just need to get them fitted now. How much will i be looking at in a local garage roughly?

 

[Sparky]

Will phone a few local places , paid £135 for them.

 

[Sparky]

Not bad Don't forget about getting the alignment and headlight level adjusted, oh and the pics

Yeh need to find a good fitter and get it booked in.
