Silver wheels are so boring though. If the car was a completely standard factory fresh example then yeah I'd agree and tbh chances are it will see some track time.
If it's a toy you're after then it has to be the Focus, if it's something you need to use daily then go for the Bimmer. I wouldn't fancy trying to use mine as a daily.
ECU controls the boost, i.e pegs it back if it picks up a problems somewhere. You can manually adjust the boost though via the adjustable actuator on the turbo.
Been to EFI again to run my car on Chris' RR to see what kind of figures the car was now producing after winding the boost back to make it safe.
As you can see I've lost a fair chunk of peak power and torque compared to last time but the key thing is the car is now safe to drive through the...
That's the torque, power was 367bhp. It'll be a little less now though as I've wound the boost back to keep it safe. As for the xenons I;ve just taken them off and listed them on eBay lol, couldn't live with the looks of them especially how much better the standard headlights look.
Had a delivery from G172 this morning
:D
So I cracked on fitting them as the previous brake pads fitted are pretty poor IMO.
What should have been a 40minute job max turned in to 2 hour job. The anti-squeal shims needed removing to fit the DS2500 pads and of course they were held on with...
Think OP is being a bit soft tbh lol, the noise they make is awesome even if it is chavvy.
I do occasionally watch old videos of it to remind of me Dat noiseeee.
and one of Special Bus.
Now I've wound it back it's peaking at 21/22psi and holds around 19psi, originally it was peaking at 25psi and holding 22psi but it was dangerous in that state hence why I wound it back.
Reading recent posts from Sabre 300 is attainable with minimal mods so your list there should easily see...
^^^ As above, Scangauge is a must with these so you can monitor the intake and water temps. Still unsure why Ford never bothered fitting a water temp gauge, especially considering how much of a weak point the charge cooler system is.
Decided to buy and fit some ST170 xenons, I'm still a little unsure about them as it looks a bit too busy inside the headlights, I still do prefer the look of the standard headlights but the beam pattern from the xenons is far superior.
Couple of quick (s**t) photos of them fitted...
I've found with the non-gen kits, the two bolts supplied are slightly too short and the gasket you replace doesn't last 5minutes. Always use Gen kits, IME
