Synthetic oil protects the engine too well for running in, so the parts dont bed in properly. Once run in, use fully synthetic to protect the engine properly.

Chipped cars will rev higher than normal, on a standard engine this is damaging it everytime you go higher than the standard rev limit or you go in the red. If you want your car to last ( like me ) then you shouldnt do it lol On some cars they have max rpms in the handbook and the rev limiter...

The water gauges on the dash are cack, when they get to the middle the car is nowhere near warm enough to cain it. You should stay below 3000 rpm for about 10 miles really. If the limiter is in the red bit on the rev counter - like alot of cars, then it does engine damage everytime you hit it.

Not thrashing it is much better than bouncing it off the limiter like most on here seem to do lol :confused:permanent engine damage everytime you do that. If your journey to work is less than at least 10 miles, then you should be driving slow anyway to let it warm up properly, under 3000rpm...

Im sure Ford could have given the Focus RS more power if they wanted, but to make sure its reliable and have an insurance rating or 16:D they left it at 212. Ford also do the 2.0 zetec focus with around 130bhp, so the ST is midway between the two. Its not all about speed with the st, you get...

You saying the ST170 has the same engine as the Racing puma :confused: Focus is a 2.0 duratec (170bhp), and the Puma has a 1.7 zetec (155bhp) :D

standard ones are 6.6 to 60, and will hit 150, speedo goes to 170:D If he had done a proper launch/or was trying hard, i don;t think you would have been pretty level as you say the road was damp so the 4x4 would have put him miles ahead would it not :)

6.7 lol early large turbo escort cozzys are 5.9 to 60, and later smaller turbo ones are 5.7. Not too sure on the 0-100 times, but i think its around 16.9, and if im correct this is about 3 seconds quicker than a willy. Arnt you lot comparing modded willys with standard cossys, this isnt...

Me and Louises Williams (163bhp proven) had a little razz down the a127, it can keep with my Fez Turbo (proven 155bhp) but not gain on me, and i couldnt really pull away. - Gives you an idea on performance. I was informed the clio was wacked off the limiter in each gear:o, but i was changing...
