Sorry I didn't mean that in an aggressive manner, just glad it hasn't caused any serious damage!Quote:

I got an xr5 focus and with only 170kw it still goes hard. Only downside is fwd but vsa off = fun! Already done front mount and cai and with reflash I should expect 200kw easilyQuote:

buy an CAI OR Put your stock airbox back on and then remove the intake resonator behind the bumper where the
foglight sits. Removing that will let you ram air straight from outside up into your airbox. Cheapest way for a CAI

Xenonkuraz what sort of intake have you got on the focus ? is it the volvo 2.5 motor or 2.0L, as mate of mine picked up a Vulva C30 withe 2.5 Turbo, he whacked the K&N typhoon intake on and power went from 169kw straight back to 180kw
Oh nah i just wanted to see if you had any quick n easy, and not to ghetto ideas.Quote:

Love the white on white
Where was the photo taken? Looks like a nice area!
The Honda meet in June only has space for 100 cars now (half of original capacity).
Hope there's room for us! Had anyone got a confirmation email after entering their car? :/
They look real nice on a white fd. I reckon you should keep them white, but just lightly sand them and then give them another coat.
Although white is real hard to keep clean.

Thanks. Gunna try these spacers on the weekend. Have a feeling it will rub alot..Quote:

As you said, I don't think you'll get a perfectly flat roll, but if you go see a decent workshop they should be able to roll and pull the guard slightly to make things work out a little better.
I'll try to spacers and will let you know what happens. Think i will need the bump tab relocated aswellQuote:

Got grey baby fixed today! Sticky tape for 24 hours cause I got my lip reglued. :)

What is the most expensive stuff have you put on your FD guys?
With stevo1210, i think the most expensive is your modulo lip kit??? Yes?
All parts combined is probably my sound system.Quote:

Yep, i think the wheels are the most expensive one we have put on our FDs
Are you sure your 2nd is the exhaust? lol. How about your coilover?Quote:
