Wheels93 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Lovely looking motor oak and hope you are pleased. I was looking for a TS originally but found the right PB.I noticed another thread you've posted about dropping the bonnet a tad. Mine sits higher and i am assuming as you set it's those rubber stoppers. I don't know if it drop it though as it may cause rub? Might not but dunno.Really excited to see this take shape as some of the modifications look similar to what i am planning. Have fun :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun :) Cheers, yh when I dropped the rubber bits down a bit I put some padding around the shut lines just invade I dropped it to far and slowly closed the bonnet but it now sits perfectly imo, and i haven't noticed any high engine or oil temps, so I can happily say that the rumour it is to have more air into the engine to keep it cool I'd say is a myth. A small update, fitted these today only something small mall like I say, I plan on having the alloys re-powder coated next year, I also have to rear wiper delete to do but currently looking for a guide on how to do it 🤔 Apart from that she needs a clean already a little dusty sort that out tomorrow I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The rear of the ST's gets particularly dirty & wet because of the shape of the spoiler.Good for aerodynamics but bad for crud.Also guarantees you get a shower when you jetwash the back window.Sent from my SM-G930F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well I've got a few things on order and had a day off today so have her a quick wash, applied wax last week so much of it just washed off m, wanted to top up the sealant but rain stopped play so will do that tomorrow. Got a couple of jobs to do, tinting the rear bumper reflectors and also my driver door under sider rubber has come off so need to reattach that still waiting on the V5 to sort my number plate out -.- after ive fitted the next lot of goodies from the postman, have to wait until next payday and it's time to fill the arches a bit more and maybe a trip to TRC :) plus my birthday so hopefully some car goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not many things to report, but fixed the driver door weather seal rubber, re-sealed the paint work, and gave the chipex kit a go on the old stone chips here and there, works well and blends in well, but I can see it taking a few applications to fully recover the chips to the same paint depth again but patience. Also tinted the rear reflectors sorry for bad photos when I next use the car I'll grab a bette photo used a light smoke tint nothing serious but went well :) O and removed the vinyl on the front bumper as I wasn't a fan And removed the sound deadnening stuff under the bonnet, kept all the clips etc in case it's a bit more noisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 New photo of the rear lenses tinted, and also the much loved fried egg bulbs have been replaced, Q5 cree led reverse, and new side, dipped and full beam all to give a much brighter and further night vision - a little whiter but non of this super white and you can't see. Looking to get a set of aftermarket headlights next year and HID them or I'll visit SJ Conversion for a full upgrade :) anyway photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonro2009 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Does the ST-2 have reflector lenses for the headlights? Can't tell from the picture but if they are I would recommend getting a full upgrade with projector lenses. The beam pattern from an HID bulb in a reflector lens is horrendous, so much scatter and no defined kick off to them.Car looks amazing, looking forward to seeing more.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Cheers for the comments :) and yes to answer above they are reflector headlights, I'm planning on going to SJ conversions and getting him to completely redesign my headlights for bi-xenons and some fancy other bits I wouldn't put hids in non projector headlights, I've been blinded by people with them so I wouldn't do it to others this is what I'm going for Just finished installing this little thing today and deleting all of this one sound thingy my jig gone in the shed, turbo sounds a lot better when coming off boost now :) ordered from SiCo Dev yesterday and delivered today on standard delivery that's service!! Tomorrow im off to TK Performance in Norwich who are Colin's Performance sister company, getting a new torque mount and couple of goodies and to talk about future changes 😌👌 maybe hybrid by the end of the year who knows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well headed to TK Performance this morning just had this little beaut installed Steeda touqure mount used the black harder bush tho see how we go! Also while I was here rude not to have a few goodies installed Give them a follow on Facebook and Instagram Gareth really knows his stuff and has a loverly ST200 Fiesta crazy power! Also so removed the front middle lower grill while it was in the air, just to see how it looks over the next few days/weeks judge how I like it and if I put it back or not will looks a lot better with smaller number plates and moved a little higher more air flow as well! ;) Also discussed some future plans what this space, now she needs a clean haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Done a couple little jobs today, changed the puddle lights but broke an led woops have to order some more lol also changed the indicator lights but not happy with the new colour so need some more lol go for the chrome effect ones, also fitted the rear wiper delete, I've kept all the parts so I can change it back, just waiting for the sealant to fully cure and I'll give the car a good clean tomorrow Got a few more bits in the post and will be fitted but until pay day next week that's all the mods for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well I thought the mods very finished for a week or two, but these turned up today 😍 First attempt at pin striping didn't go to bad I don't think and the red sets it off a bit rather than plain black or going for the same colour as the car just makes it stand out a little bit more! Need to do the pin striping on the front splitter but that will be next weekend now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13 HPD 95 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 So my new ITG induction system came today, quickly before work tonight I've wrapped the intake pipe in some aliminuim plated fibreglass heat reflection wrap stuff or other, supposedly 95% heat reflection, was suggested to do it by the guys at TK Performance, after some data logging their test car intake temps dropped by almost 15'C after wrapping theirs so for £20 I'm In, just need to fit it all tomorrow - my Forge kit will be for sale after if anyone's interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Tidy looking car! Great photos. It looks like there is a little negative camber on the rear wheels, although it may just be the camera angle and/or my tired eyes! I do think you would get away with another 5-10mm on the rear and you may be right about the fronts come MOT day. Saying that though it depends on where you view it from, from the front it looks close but from above it looks absolutely fineSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13 HPD 95 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Up nice and early after being on nights last night, couple of hours sleep but thought I'd better get up and get on with the day, change the intake system and give the car a deep clean inside and out! So here's the before and after photos of the intake - the old forge one is for sale in the sale section and eBay before and after, now there is a quieter suction noise, but it holds revs a little better, and you can now here the exhaust a little more, the DV has become a little quieter as well. next the clean started inside but no photos so here's the end result after 6 long hard hours at it :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
