S40Un Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 As above really, has anyone built an st replica ? Post your pics this is my 1.6 tdci auto,. I love Focus ST's but I'm disabled so luckily I found one with engine damage cheap & swapped the bits over. I just need to fit the side skirts & colour code the plastic door strips & swap the rear drums for the disks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Very nice! I want to get a nice exhaust on my car but with it being a diesel I am worried about how it will sound with a louder exhaust, how does yours sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzetecs Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just puchased st front bumper for my mk2.5 will get rear st bumper, then a twin 3" exhaust from powerflow, have no intensions of coping but prefer these bumpers than my zetec s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a hollowed out dpf & absolutely straight through exhaust into the st power flow twin pipes. It wasn't too over the top but I got fed up with it & put a silencer in the middle. These videos are not me but this is exactly how it sounded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Love the sound of the second one but not the black smoke xD Nice one for the videos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Tango Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just now, ajzetecs said: whats black smoke of, is it the dpf removal or just a cat back on a diesel? I think it's because of the DPF removal, my dads Focus has no DPF and that gets black smoke but mums Mondeo and my Focus don't get any at all and we both have DPF's.

TomsFocus Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Decats were awesome back when they passed MOTs... I miss coaling the tailgaters... You will always get black smoke on any diesel without a DPF, I'll bet even your 1.8 smokes when you give it a boot but you just can't see it from the drivers seat! The 1.8s do only have a cat though, they never had a DPF. A remap will inevitably make it smoke more at the top of the rev range, you're getting out of the turbo's efficiency range and the MAF will be out of it's main calibration area as well. The better (usually more expensive!) the remap is, the less smoke there's likely to be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S40Un Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 The black smoke on diesels is perfectly normal, it's just soot really. Extremely excessive black smoke on standard diesels is normally a blocked egr valve , faulty injectors or intercooler Leaks causing over fueling. most dieseis will produce a light flow of this black smoke hence that horrible black gunk they gatheres on your boot lid. Theres also re maps you can have to make this smoke. my focus hardly produced any smoke with the straight through exhausts & dpf delete , not sure if this is because of my best of both Eco / performance remap , although my landy has a similar map & my god you need fog lights on if your driving behind me ha ha. regards to mot , I hollowed out my dpf by cutting it open on the factory welds & re welding it up after so it looks unmolestered mot guy said its running clean every year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Shaun, the rides looking sweet. 5 dr skirts are very hard to get a hold of but keep an eye out on eBay. i wouldnt bother getting the door strips changed, it looks fine as it is. you might wanna add wind deflectors and a front splitter! you could always change the rear lights to facelift or led ones and maybe get the RS Parts diffuser on look at my build thread to see how my focus style has changed over the years...cant find the link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDee Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Car is looking good. I was planning on doing this with my focus but thanks to a change with my work I can get the real thing now. Mind you I am still trying to sell all the kit I had which I though I could easily get rid of but nope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I personally don't see the point in slapping a Zetec S, ST or RS badge on something that isn't one. You're just attracting attention to yourself & your car, which isn't always a good thing And the logbook will always speak the truth If however, you're doing everything apart from ST seats, steering & sill plates etc, so there are no badges, then fair enough www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna go for the replica look but thanks to a change in work I just bought the real thing.

S40Un Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I see what your saying but , I like ST's, & I want an st but sadly they don't make automatic ones. i only have one arm so I bought a real ST & made the best out of what I've got. The interior is just plain leather with fully adapted driving aids. Im quite honest to people it's a replica & you can clearly hear it's got a tractor engine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I was wondering what your disability was but didn't like to ask lol. Don't they put the ST engine in the Volvo's? Must fit auto boxes to those as they're cruisers rather than sports cars? I must admit, I don't like people badging small petrols as 'GTi's' with any car, but I don't see any problem fitting 'GTi' parts to lesser models. I've always fitted GTi wheels and spoilers etc to previous cars, certainly wasn't trying to pass them off as the real thing though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S40Un Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yeah I did think about the volvo engines with auto box but looking into it seemed to start seeming expensive / hard apparently ford changed the Volvo lump a little so all the mounts ect would be all in the wrong places. I would certainly of done it, if I could though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
