Jonro2009 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 not at all, remove the fog light bezzels, fit into place with tape route the wiring and secure into place plug all together and insulate the connectors and connect to the battery, if you walk away from them and go out of Bluetooth range they turn off and turn off after locking the car if you wait 10mins, plus you can still be connected to the radio play music and control the colour from the app controlling them :) Any chance you could do a small video?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Amazing. Those dials are the dogs. Did you do them yourself ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Dials are from a company called gauge face uk, so easy to change them over toke an hour to do, and yes going to get very busy soon :) first job starts today need to change my recirc valve after getting some sleep, night shifts suck, also wish I was at Ford fair this year but hey ho next year will soon come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonro2009 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Still really enjoying seeing your car modifications. Some of the mods are beyond me though lol. How did you change the dials, what did it entail? Not that you will, or even should be bothered but the only thing I'm not keen on is the decals/stickers. That is just a personal preference though and I'm probably in the minority anyway. Do your insurance company get fed up with you ringing them every night lolSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your insurance company get fed up with you ringing them every night lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The dials are dead easy to do, once the units have been removed a small flat head pops all the clips off then using a wide fork prise the needles off the backgrounds are changed just push into place then plug the units back in still in bits and no needles fitted go into the test menu and do a dial sweep which goes bottom range top range and then they set to zero takes 2 seconds then put each needle back on at the zero position carful not to move the motor units redo the dial sweep test make sure they are in correct position unplug units rebuild them and fit back into car job done :) and well insurance little things changing the dials and new forge valve, brake deflectors I haven't told them as they already either know about that part being modified or it's such a small mod it's not worth the admin fee, like changing headlight lamps I knew a guy who tells them about that and it's like really to me that's maintenance, when I change something big that changes the cars handling or power output they will be notified and I try to do it one go so I don't have to constantly pay £25 admin fees haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris182 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi i was just wondering does the petrol additive really work? only ask because a few people have said that they don't help and can cause damage etc etc. Love the car by the way it looks brilliant and the custom gauges are amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13 HPD 95 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 A nice little update :) got myself a cobb accessport, removed the Collins cp300 tune back to stock and installed the cobb stage 3 98ron tune produces 2psi more boost and feels stronger higher up the rev range than the cp tune have to run 99ron fuel all the time tho, but the beauty with this is that I can change the tune to anything I want that's installed on the cobb in about 2mins :) it does have a stratified crackle tune but not going to use it as have heard many horror stories about them so it's just a safe tune for now, decat should be fitted this week with new spark plugs again 😂 This time they are J gapped which is proved to burn a lot more and reduce coke and suit build up Finally got my new steering wheel, fitted the cruise control switch and wiring loom cannot wait to get this on now! edit: also if anyone wants instructions on how to cut the wheel to add the switches and wires see this guide that i used and also the part numbers are on there for the bits needed :) http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/tutorials/article/274-retrofitting-original-cruise-control-on-a-focus-mk3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13 HPD 95 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Got these fitted last night and this morning!! SS tuning gear know and gaitor and some solid shifter bushes to stop the old crappy Ford rubber ones from flexing while you try to change gear, + with the weight gear knob changing gears is a breeze no more cluncky gears and so presice I recommend them both! I also have some solid bushes to fit in the gear box bracket it's self as well Hopefully have some more bits done later or tomorrow! these are the old crap ones All back together 👍👌 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
