Thanks, Yep new owner. Will still be at shows etc!

[niracka]

Good to hear I'd hate to see that car broken as its probably the best mk4 I'v seen

Gave my engine bay a quick clean the other night. Sory about pioc quality as it was getting dark.



I'm at 2 minds weather or not I should wrap my manifold. I like the look of a wraped manifold but wIll it make any difference to performance if I do??

Ollie

[Max M4X WW]

I'd put an enclosed airbox on, That will improve your performance. Or put it back to standard at least!

[Ram]

ah but we all the sound of an induction cone!

well done on the m.o.t, always a good feeling

[niracka]

Yea I have thaught about putting the old airbox back on but as said I do love the sound and it would just wind me up knowing that I'v baught something for the car and then dicided its not better

I have got a decent cold air feed to it. Maybe I should make some kind of enclosure for it? Or just buy a BMC lol. I think I'l try it with the old airbox on and see if theres any noticable difference.

K&N looks cheap too IMO.

Get an ST170 snorkel and automatic air deflector

Yeah i agree with Max on this one

[niracka]

Oh its like that is it!!!!!!!

Its all just more money I can't afford to spend thaugh atm. If I go changing that then my other colourcoding has to wait and then everything else lol. Its hard being skint and loving cars sooo much!!!!! (especially when your missis spends all your spare cash)

Right watch this space as in the next week or so I will be Making my own heat shield for my K&N as I dont want to take it off but I do want it to work better.

After much searching on google I found this thread which has been quite useful and I will try and adapt some of the ideas used to make my own cold air system.

http://www.nloc.net/vbforum/gen-2-light ... ntake.html

I was thinking something along the lines of routing my cold air pipe into the bottom of a homemade heat shield which will totally enclose the k&n cone. Or perhaps keep it open at the top but have it seal against the bonnet when it is closed.

Lol I can see this being alot of fun. If I dont manage to get it right I'l probably just buy a BMC or something but I'm confident this will work.

Little update.

I have recently got a new pair of aero wipers, which are sooooo much better than the ones I had before and they look really kool IMO.

Apart from that I have now colour coded the front grile and the boot handle and am very pleased with the results. The car just looks so much neater without the horrible black plastic bits.






Next I will be re-doing the rear bumper strips as the finnish is s**t lol. I'm just going to rub them down and apply a quick coat of paint and then some laquer again.

After that all that remains is the side strips (which I'm dreading lol) I'm not going to bother with the door handles just yet as I want to get the car lowered and a few other bits inside such as multi speed wiper stalk and trip computer.

[mada01]

looking very good.

this is one of the nicest focus's ive seen.

saw one today covered in crome and stick on vents!

but yea looking very good here and i like how your colour coding, noone likes plastic

[niracka]

Lol I hate chrome.

Thanks for the nice response

[mrorange2]

Looks good ollie keep up the good work

[niracka]

Trying too mate. Its hard when your missis spends all your hard earned before you get a look in thaugh lol

[FRS_Steve]

Make it £15 and I may well come and collect those from you soon but at the moment I'm real skint

Max have you sold the mk4 now???

ollie

Yea ok mate, they are no use to me lol. can post them to you if you want, surely going to be cheaper than collecting unless you are coming this way for some other reason?

[dontpannic]

Looking really nice Ollie, will have to see it in the flesh some time! Looks much better colour coded

[niracka]

Steve - I had totally forgotten about that to be honest mate lol. I think I am just going to take mine off and mask the holes for a couple of days as I'm quite happy with the finnish I have been getting with the rest of the car. Will also look alot better when I have been over it all with a polishing maching and some compound

Nick - Thanks for the encouragement mate. It looks soooo much better doesn't it!!! I can't wait to finnish it so I can move on to the suspension ect. Its real hard being into cars when your on a tight budget thaugh

Ollie

[mada01]

whats your next plans for it?

[niracka]

Wishlist includes the following

suspension (coilovers already have waiting to buy just need money and my missis to stop bein an arse)
Trip computer
6 Speed intermittant wiper stalk
Bluefin or dreamscience
Spoiler
Cupra Splitter or something else small

Like I said I'm finding it hard to find the money atm but it will get done lol.

[M1K3Y_B]

Looks so much better with the colour coding

[niracka]

Cheers man

[niracka]

I have recently re-sprayed my rear bumper strips as the finnish on them was crap and they now looks spokt on like the rest

Decided to go out thwe other night and take a few piccys of the car. Unfortunately I had to discard most of the piocs I got because I couldn't get my camera to focus properly ect but I did manage to save these ones.










What do you think???

I want to get her lowered, spoiler, cupra splitter, colour code sides and thats it for the outside.

Ollie

[niracka]

Ollie

[M1K3Y_B]

[niracka]

[niracka]

Look what turned up in the post today

LONG awaited suspension in the form of Gaz adjustable dampers and eibach -35mm pro kit springs. Only done about 1500 miles and got them for £180

Really can't wait to get these on and start messing with the settings on em

heres some piccys








Ollie

[bernard]

thats the same setup I had on my focus until I crashed it lol.

[niracka]

Really?? How was it?? any advice on setup Sam???

Not seen u on here in ages mate hows things down there???

Ollie

[bernard]

yeah esacty the same, The ride was fairly hard but I set them quite stiff, makes the car handle sweet. I would just start with the shocks set soft and put them up a couple of notches until your happy make sure you have the same settings back and front.

Yeah I havent been on here for ages, things are going well bud been busy working on the r5 currently building a good spec engine for it forged pistons, cams , t25 turbo etc. Just brought myself a vectra sri 140 for a everyday car which is nice and relaxing to drive.

shame I didnt have access to the focus when I crashed it, it had the eibach anti roll bars and a few other bits you could have had.
