Cool stuff. Regardless though, there'll be a section of people who hear a loud exhaust, hear a few pops and just think chav.
A lot of enthusiats rate the sound of a gti with a pugsport and decat but then to a lot of people it just sounds chavvy.
Then again, some would see a hot hatchback and...
No problem dude, not entirely serious...never sure whether 90% of stuff you write is either!
Just to me regardless of what car it is, posting an exhaust noise video is equally chavvy if you see it like that!
Just like the pistonheads thing someone linked up the other week, even though it...
Sound is subjective. Will said watching videos of 106's makes him want one, each to their own and all that.
I wouldn't expect a 50 something year old bloke to find the noise of a 106 with a Pugsport the most appealing, my old man is 54 and hates the sound it makes!
Thats ironic, I'm sure you were linking up a video of a decatted Focus RS booting it the other day,citing it as influential in deciding to decat your own iirc! What's the difference?
Since we're posting vids...decat with standard exhaust (mates VTS)

Sounds like it's got throttle bodies!
Might be selling mines soon:

The slipping clutch you can hear there is getting replaced this weekend!
OP, you title the thread chavs but post a video up of you driving?
Just stumbled on this after a search. Looks great, should consider picking up some Ford Racing KA wheels, would set it off a nicely.
I've been thinking of getting one of these lately. Used to have a MK5 ZS so kinda know how they feel!
LOL Roy on his soapbox about Winter tyres again. Winter tyres make you invincible in the snow iirc.
I agree to an extent, I bet they are a necessity on a 300+ hp Focus RS which would otherwise be a nightmare in the snow. Likewise for a lot of rear wheel drive cars; both my parents Mercedes are...
If you're serious, google gorallyschool, guy called Chris Birbeck who sells rare Ford Racing parts.
Pick up a ford racing suspension kit (sachs and eibachs, check it!), some ford racing KA sparco seats and a set of ford racing KA alloys and thats a badman wagon! The guys got a load of other...
Looks like another case of modifying for the sake of it. Its your car and you can do as you like but honestly, a car like this will just look silly modified!
So what were people doing? Blatting up and down? Doesn't look disimilar to goings on at your average local cruise (standard of vehicles aside).
Doesn't bother me as such, just sayin...
Nice, I'd bin off the pH2 rear as said before and look to swap the coilovers for something a bit better but thats me!
I miss the Vectra SR aye lol, heard a few tales about that!
Very nice. I wouldn't modify, it looks good with the subtle touches there, anything more would look birmingham asian wannabe gangsta! Love the alcantara seats.
Those cavalier SRI's were very quick from what I'm told by my rents, suprisingly so considering the relatively low output. Lack of weight compared to todays cars tells!
My old man had two of these as company cars back in the '80s! I might dig out some pics, both two tone, one white and black, the other gold and black like the one you linked in the original post!
