Thinking about getting a facelift ST to replace my ageing 350Z (and because insurance is getting a joke).

Would the fuel consumption be even worst than the Z? I'd also be thinking about remapping it.

350Z to a Focus ST? Down grade much? Newer but still?

The difference is insurance will pail into insignificance when you calculate the cost of getting a facelift Focus ST.

i do 400 miles a week in mine at 17-22 mpg.

I love the ST but for me to be able to justify shelling out well over £100 a week in fuel the car would need to be something a bit more special than a Focus.

I was considering one briefly a couple of years back as a worthy replacement to my Octavia but with most of my miles being work ones at 40ppm I couldn't get over the economy

Surely once you get ~300bhp it gets a bit crazy without at least a differential to keep it all in check?

Does become "interesting" had a diff fitted and RS clutch but it still chews tyres at a alarming rate with the boost kicking in at 2000 rpm.

Getting my tyres on Monday to go on the 19"s, in February will be getting the AP 6 pots, front polybushes, samco hoses and mudflaps fitted.

Get some more posts in here man, Can't have the Fiesta thread beating us now, can we?

Wheel's on (and in dire need of a clean):

Mine, had her for 15 months now. Really really loving the 5 pot turbo, put's a smile on my face every time she pops too

Sparky · 18 Jan 2012 at 12:12

Have these sat at home waiting to go on.

rk88 · 18 Jan 2012 at 12:20

Anyone have the mountune upgrade?

Is the only tune I fancy, but at £1k+ fitting it's a bit steep.

Do you find it worth the money?

Mucky_Pup · 18 Jan 2012 at 12:28

These are sat just next to me waiting to go on next month:

Plus front & rear powerflex polybushes are getting done, sometime in the future.

I don't rate them at all. For what they charge you can get better from the other tuners, and 2nd hand from the owners club, and a lot of the fitting work is relatively easy. But if all you're bothered about is warranty, then it's the only real option.

Not an ST (volvo s60 t5), but similar engine. Had it mapped recently which is the only thing I've had done.

Sparky · 18 Jan 2012 at 12:36

Ohhh how much did the AP calipers set you back?

That's some impressive gains!!! How much if you don't mind me asking? And will the clutch last with 300bhp and 400lbs of torque?

Been faultless
