Not sure what else to do with her yet

Any suggestions?



Set off coilovers?

Is that a matt wrap or paintjob?

It's a full wrap mate had it done from stock coil overs sounds like a plan which would you suggest as I'm in a bit of a budget :/

looks good m8, as for coilovers i think theey are pretty much all the same but here is some budget ones that look good and have good reviews :) if i didnt spend money on lowering springs wish i got these :/

Ah right I was actually thinking of getting some sort of matt black details done on my car at some point.

Well I paid £450 for my AP coilovers an they seem decent. But I think there's a set for around £250 on the market now

looks good fella and welcome abourd

Cheers for the link dan had a look and think for that price I'll give em a go :)

Scousa a had a look online there's a guy In Manchester will do a full wrap for just over six hundred quid

You could lower it (coilies will do that anyway), get new alloys on it or spray yours a different colour if you're after looks.. if you're after performance you could upgrade the brakes or remap it or get a kit on it or something there's endless possibilities all depends what you're after! :)

Happy with the black wrap don't see many knocking about and she's been a bit of a head turner after performance mainly but in on a bit of a budget at the mo so doing it a step at a time :)

That's not bad I'll probably just get a few matt black decals done.

Could also get hids they transform the front end and are next on my list

How did you find the j1 induction kit?

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC

Hi mate

The induction kit was great

The range from 3 1/2 krevs through to 4 gave a fantastic induction sound and was a real head turner :) not sure about the power advantage but noticed the car seemed a little gutless after I removed it to take the car back to the showroom ( used the car as deposit for the St :)

All in all there are a few knocking around on eBay and a new replacement filter only cost 40 quid so I would buy a second hand on so its not to your taste you haven't forked out a lot of money

All in all I would say 4:5 :)

Hope this helps

Very helpful mate cheers, just sold my focus st3 for my zs (buying a house) and I need a little bit of noise haha
