How many Focus ST owners on here

I've had 2! Do I win?

I had a red ST2 from new on a 56 plate, did 97k in just under 4 years, it had something wrong with the turbo at 62k which ford refused to do anything about even though it was within 3 years which hurt a bit, not even convinced it was the turbo..

Then spent about 6 moths considering replacements and after looking at imprezas, bmws, audis etc I realised the only reason I was changing was because it was fast approaching (in every sense) 100k so I thought screw it I'll get a low mileage one in the colour I always wanted.

So then I had an orange ST2, I put the Race+ dreamscience map and a new filter on it and it flew, loved that car.

Had to get rid just under a year later because I moved from a fuel card to a fuel allowance and it was going to cripple me :( real shame. I love my 320d but nothing puts a smile on your face like a bit of torque steer and a popping exhaust not to mention having bright orange seats :)
 
they've got to be getting filthy cheap now? My '07 56 plate with 20k on the clock 1 owner was £10k from a garage a couple of years ago.

You must be getting them down at £7k now surely?
 
Needs a good wash and phone pic so forgive me but, they are on!

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

What coilovers do you have, or plan to buy? I can't see much bettering the Bilstein B12 kit, not for the money, and it drops the car the perfect amount from what I've seen!
 
H&R and Bilsteins are essentially the same, in quality terms, heck they are probably made to the same specification with significant commonality between them given the relationship between the companies (my H&Rs have Bilstein logos stamped onto the damper pistons for example). I expect you'd be happy enough with either :)
 
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.
 
Anybody know of any decent specialists in the North East, would be great if they were open on a Saturday too. Got my 5 year service due and although it's not bad from Ford (£186), i'd not turn my nose up at paying less :p

If you sign up to STOC and ask in the North East section you'll get a few replies.
 
Good stuff, need to clear some of my debt's before I spend more on the car, like I said next up with either be Bilstein B8's, or an inlet manifold.
 
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.
