thought id go for a colour change....
also have had a powercast manifold made / strut brace / anti roll bar front & rear

**M-R-P** · Sunday 1st April 2012, 23:08

Normally, the black roof/bonnet combo doesn't appeal to me but I gotta say that looks epic!
Well done sir, she really stands out.

**t5_monkey** · Sunday 1st April 2012, 23:10

wow I know we'd talked about getting the bonnet CF but you've gone the whole 9 yards mate looks mad!

Sure you wanna upgrade the front ARB a lot of people form the Focus ST forums have taken it off again cause it gives too much inner wheel spin.

You running a quaife diff ?

Dunno - Lets arrange a propa meet sumtime at Scotch corner ?

Parental visit is due around end of April!

Did the manifold make much difference btw ?

PS get it polybushed and on B8 dampers

i won't regret it (although ur spine might)

been there today, go up every few weeks so can sort something out,
the manifold definitly makes it run better, probably needs another tweek on the dyno..

I need 2 get mine down to AET for some magic too... although I can't afford a hybrid will just have 2 go on a diet instead

ARB happens to be the best thing ive put on, stops it lifting and handles alot better...
as for a quaife diff ... you cant run one with geartronic.
