Been a while.

So ive been gone a few years now but decided to see if i could find my old ph1 on here but no luck so far. Thought id throw an update as to whats gone on since ive been gone! Still reconise a few names on here so maybe some people will remeber me and my ph1.

Back in 2007 i got bought myself a present for my 19th! Ph1 172 totaly standard bar ph2 rear lights and stainless stealth catback. It was mint.

I felt like i was done with the clio, i had carried out all the work myself and felt it was time for a change. So i sold it to some guy on here and purchased my golf.

I had this about 8 months and did a few bits to it then decided on a change, my bro was selling his focus st3 to fund his business and sold it to me for a very good price that i couldnt refuse. So off the golf went.

Gloss Black grills, lower lip and fog surrounds
Fully polybushed front end

Nice motors.

Am I right in thinking the Focus is a step down from the R32 power wise? 250bhp in a Golfie and 220ish in the ST?

golf was just shy of 250 but weights alot more whith the 4 wheel drive running gear so in the real world not much in it on a dry day atall, but the focus is now around 280bhp and would leave a r32 fairly easy now.

The phase 1 looked great.. Also liked the R32 in black.

Good shout on the house, you'll be back in cars though. I had a year out and it was crap.

Yea great deffo get an st-3 though. With my mods I'm getting about 26-27mpg as a weekly average but it can drop well below that fairly easily!

yeah I'm looking at the facelift st-3 I don't like the non-leather seats haha.

Is that motorway miles or mostly town driving? as I do a fair bit of motorway driving, I would be happy if I was getting 30 on the motorway if I'm honest.
