My Focus 1.6 Tdci Zetec (2010) - Remapped

Featured Replies

That looks/sounds awesome. I had a good look at the torque curve more than anything and exactly what I would like mine to look like which would suit my driving needs as I mainly do National roads at 100km/h or Motorway at 120 km/h. The max torque is at the lower end and that way you don't have to rev the engine hard to get the grin factor. As a result of that, you end up getting better mpg. Exactly what I would like for myself. I might just show the guys your print out for them to get an idea what I am looking for.

Does the car feel like a different animal now? I bet it's a lot more fun to drive :)

And yea, if we all listened to Lenny, the human race would not be able to continue since we would all end up castrated lol. He does have a point though on doing the mods when no one is around ;)

Feels totally different, so smooth, and no effort needed to go a bit quicker. And if you do feel the need to floor it, it shifts lol

First gear seams a bit redundant now, you can cruise at 30 in 4th and it does between 65-85mpg. Motorways hardly use any fuel, and overtaking is effortless.

Obviously if you boot it around everywhere, you won't get as good mpg. But you don't need to boot it to have fun. ;)

Been out today, done about 40 miles. Still averaging 50mpg, driven on all types of roads. Booted it a few times too, seems to growl aswell lol....which is a bit weird coming from a diesel engine. :D

Bulb arrived, hopefully it's not raining when I get home tomorrow night and I'll give it a try. :)

Looks good quality.

As it's been a nice day, I got the new wheel nuts fitted. And gave the Focus it's first proper wash and wax of the year. :D

My washer jets keep dropping, so only the bottom of the windscreen is getting sprayed.

So thought I'd upgrade to mist jets, picked these up today. Will fit at the weekend using Lenny's guide. ;)

DSC_0034_zps6jokfkre.jpg

Expensive for what they are.

I fitted must jets and changed the tubing at the same time.. Thought the mist jets were crap, only hit the bottom of the windscreen.

Then, I compared the new tubing to the old. It was about half the diameter (silly me). I fitted some 4mm silicone tubing and what an upgrade the mist jets are! Cover almost the whole windscreen!

You won't regret the upgrade :)

A must have upgrade for myself living in Ireland as the original washers a not very useful. Didn't mind paying the Ford dealer the money they asking as it makes driving so much easier.

What procedure do you do to clean your car. I love how clean and waxed it is. I need to replicate it!

Cheers mate.

Through the winter, rinse off, wash with wash & wax (hot water), rinse off, chamois off, then detailer spray wax with micro fibre cloth, fast glass spray on glass, spray back to black on tyre side walls and plastics.

In the summer I use mers plastic cleaner and megs tyre dressing.

And 3 stage - paint cleaner, polish, and wax to seal every 2-3 months. :)

Booked in on Saturday morning for 4 x Avon ZV5 205/50R17 89V tyres to be fitted....as those Maxxis tyres that were already fitted are dog toffee. :D

Excellent Choice Sir,

I highly recommend ZV5 and ZZ5 Tyres,

May be worth having your tracking alignment done at the same time,

Some places do this at a discounted price when your purchasing 4 new tyres such as yourself.

Aye, might do.....but tracking seems ok, and nice even wear on the tyres. :)
