Still a 1.2k mod then "/ humming and arring at the moment as I want to get mine forged. I think leaving it is a little bit risky in my personal opinion. A woman I know popped a cylinder and it took the head with it. I'd honestly look at what price it is going to cost to get it done against what potential damage it could cause, worst case. Yh still expensive to do but apparently one of the best mods to do on these! With regards to engine damage In blowing a piston, yh it could take the head out and cause more damage, forging is 3k at least with mid range priced parts where as a used engine is 1200, so if I do blow the engine to bits then I’ll get a second unit have the parts of that and rebuild it, it’s all if and buts I know people are worried about these pistons but it’s like the RS head gasket issue it’s pot luck if it goes it goes sod all to be done about it so I have the same mind with my pistons, warming and cooling it down correctly oil cooler better colder spark plugs used correctly etc won’t have an issue at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13 HPD 95 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 A few additions to talk about.... The Brembo fronts, 300mm tears and diff are fitted see how big they are behind the 18’s!!! We focus RS mk2 custom spoiler fitted and SJ conversion headlights, st-3 xenon lights all blacked out with sequential indicators and drl halos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 like those slotted and drilled discs. Might do a rear disc brake beam conversion on my zetec s and probably install similar discs along with painting all the calipers red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The brake setup looks awesome, bet there is some stopping power now! I love the spoiler, cracking addition to the car. Do you have a video of the new lights in action? I’d love to see the halos and sequential indicators, I’m pretty into lights lolSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4zz Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 looking good fella and loving the spoiler and head lights. all the mods have added up to give one nice looking mk3 st imo. it just needs a good wash again now he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Cheers guys as soon as I get a video of the lights working properly I’ll upload one to YouTube as you can’t direct upload on here, and stopping power is out of this world haha, done a few more things today changed the mud flaps back to rally style ones to offer more protection along the sides, cars booked in for some more big additions in 2 weeks time :) I’ve scrapped the air ride idea and staying coils, I’ve also invested in some more wheels these will be going in the new year :) and this is waiting to be fitted ;) one x37 hybrid turbo soon to be 350bhp hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I do like the rally style flaps, they just have something about them. Have you stuck with black? Your car looks epic, I’m glad you are never 100% happy with it because it’s a great thread to follow!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 How does a hybrid turbo work. Does it eliminate turbo lag? Does the turbines electricaly spin rather than depending on exhaust gases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4zz Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 shame to hear the wheels are going in the new year as I think they suited the car well but cant wait to see the new ones in the new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the turbines electricaly spin rather than depending on exhaust gases. So a hybrid turbo uses the stock turbo housing but has updated turbine and compressor wheels which spin faster reduce lag more boost more power should see an easy 50bhp increase with it hehe and cheers guys the rally flaps will suit the over all car look better in the end and so will the new wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
