Hi I'm dave I have a modified mk1 st170 will pop picks on here wanna meet with other ford owners general chat as well had fords all my life starting with mk3 escort mk6 escort mk6 escort gti 2 st170s a st24

Welcome to the family, I have to say, the spoiler isnt quite my thing, but it still looks good! looks like an excellent example of an ST though!

I was ammused, I had to look again, as I thought you modder her to carry what looked like an air force looking roof box

I've already said hello but thought I would say it again in the official welcome room so hi!!

It's hard too get a good photo of spoiler it looks better in real life but it is marmite it's off a focus wrc car so fully adjustable

I think if you got a further back shot of it, I might be more in favour, but I feel like I am about to have my face planted into it, so it looks a tad more odd :p lol, it does look more understated in your under the cockpit shot!

Agreed, there are things you can do but they are a lot of outlay for not a big return,

there is the Superchips Bluefin remap -

But at £250 its a lot for an 8Hp/ 14Nm gain (it does "fill in" and widen the torque curve though)

there was someone who fitted an SVT exhaust manifold & heatwrapped it (reconed to be worth a few Hp)

then there is racing cams, blueprinted engines balanced lightened flywheels etc that cost £££££s

"Carbon" bonnet wrap suits the car

Bluefin is indeed very popular on the ST170. As you say though seems quite a lot of money for the relatively small gain you get

Yeah that works out at near £50 per 1bhp maybe later if I have the money but side skirts next and then start boot build next week

Yeah a few people who didn't like wrapped bonnets changed there opinion when they saw my bonnet wrapped as it suits the colour not sure if I should do roof or not ?????
