How do you get all your cars so clean

Takes a while and some hard work

[Chris 2i]

nice car, have been weighing up one of these - I wanted an ST170 ideally, but these could be a better choice due to fuel costs...

and Mikey - bloody hard work is what gets cars that clean!

[Scott69]

my dad had the st 200 and i thought it was great but these are realy nice

[Turboboy67]

These do go well with the re-map

[Ratspeed]

looks awesome mate!

[mrorange2]

Well this arrived in the post today



So installed it tonight


Took it for a quick drive and very happy with the difference in 1st and 2nd gear and it seems a lot more resposive only time will tell.

[Max M4X WW]

Have been told they have limiters in 1st and 2nd standard so should make a difference there.

Would imagine 3rd/4th and maybe 5th would be good though with the extra torque!

Your spot on mate they have a torque limiter on 1st and 2nd and it made them gears rubbish really hated them but now you can use them much better just gotta see how 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th are now

Well since selling the RS1800 not really had anything to tinker with so its time to mod the Mondeo. Since owning it i aint done a lot to it only Bluefin which was fun for a while but its not had much love the alloys are shagged corrored to hell now.

So couple weeks back i had a decat fitted and very happy with it car is so much more resposive now and pulls like a train again.

Today i ordered a Airtec Front Mount Intercooler should be here next week and i've been told bluefin have a map for the ST TDCI with decat and this FMIC so will be getting that on it as well.

I'll get piccys of the IC when it turns up

Also going to get the wheels painted dark grey when i have some more money lol

[Max M4X WW]

Sounds good, Saw they did the cooler for these.

I think I'd be keeping the wheels as they should be - or changing them though. They look a bit odd in grey IMO and its been done to death!

[jonyb4]

great plans tim, will improve things deffinately

yeah starting to feel the same about colours of wheels
aswell as the 3m carbon

these cars have always had problems with the wheels,
you'll probably stand out more by having them refurbed to original condition
always liked these cars!!

[Max M4X WW]

I've put a bit of 3M on the 540 Just the rear diffuser though, looks quite subtle. IE you dont notice at all

And I'm in the same boat with the wheels, though the lacquer hasn't failed on mine - just curb damage but I'm 100% retaining the diamond cut finish when I get round to having them done.

if its done subtly there i'm sure it looks tastefull knowing you max,
its the whole wrapping the bonnet, roof and tailgate in the 3m stuff that looks way over the top.

its not too expensive for the diamond cutting from the right place which does'nt bragg it up as double the price
heres a link to a place i found from detailingworld where the guy was mega anal about his wheels and he was mega chuffed with the finish
good prices too

[jonyb4]

id love for a few of my interior bits to be carbon Dipped/Wrapped/Coated, Eg the heater/radio control surround and the door handles surrounds

inspired by the chap with the red Focus ST in the latest FF mag has his cd/heater surround done in carbon

looks really subtle

[Ratspeed]

Id get them done dark silver and still diamond cut mate



and any news on the RR day yet?

[jonyb4]

phoned up on some prices for them carbon dipped heater and door handle surrounds, cheapest is £80, other was £150

Its on the list, with lepsons. Not sure who yet, but will be after winter.

[mrorange2]

Cheers Rob will have a look at that i would love them to be refurbs to standard diamond cut but pricing is stupid for it thats why i was looking at a different colour.

Ratty found a place in scunny just waiting to hear back from them.

This turned up last night its massive lol hopefully will be fitting it saturday morning before the trip to Trax.


Piccy took on phone so not great.

[Max M4X WW]

Looks good in black

[Ratspeed]

nice matey!

[jonyb4]

Cor its big, should unlock some ponies

[mrorange2]

Intercooler was fitted on saturday pain in the rear to fit. But all on now and it does fell a little be more responsive and pull a bit more now. But need to get a proper remap done on it now to take full effect of all the mods.










Wheels need to be done now.

[jonyb4]

looking good mate, looks as if it was a bugger to fit
