D13 HPD 95 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi all again, so if you followed my cars in this project thread, you’ll see I had a mk7 fiesta modified a few years later I returned with my ST-2 Mk3 focus in Tangerine which become highly highly modified and now I’ve traded that car in for this..... One Mk3 RS in magnetic grey every optional extra, Shell seats the only seats to have in an RS. Only mods so far are H & R 20mm springs H & R uprated anti roll bars Rallyflapz in black Mountune recirc valve KMs custom Tornado cat back with stock exhaust valve still in place and that’s it so far I’ll be keeping her mainly stock for warranty reasons but a few cosmetic changes to be done maybe some warranty friendly performance mods who knows :) see what this thread becomes shall we ;) anyway here’s some photos I have so far need to clean her and get loads of photos taken also a video of the exhaust popping and banging lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think these little mods will help improve driving experience. Where would you find the turbo sound suppressor? I don't see why they would suppress the turbo noise when it sounds addicting hearing the turbo spool. On my car you can hear it spool down but only when you shift up from second and third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4zz Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 nice list you got there and im sure they will all add up to make the car even better than stock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my car you can hear it spool down but only when you shift up from second and third. The suppressor is on the inlet of the turbo it basically is a tiny hole which allows air to escape when not on throttle and when gunning it it sucks a small amount of air in and it makes a horrible noise so you get a bung to block it off so you hear the turbo through the air intake only honestly I’ve heard it before and after and there’s so much difference they shouldn’t have done it all together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal. Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Nice car! Love magnetic.. would have been my first choice if Nitrous hadn't been available. Sounds like you rode the clutch a bit on your first launch - it is un-natural to be harsh with it i know, but it really does work! (And turn TC off for a tad of wheel slip if it's dry - Ford Test drivers said that's the fastest way to get away) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you have a link to the wireless charger? The throttle pedal is quite far down in the footwell so it literally brings it to the same height as the brake and clutch pedal so you can ‘heel toe’ easier and also get on brakes quicker by only having to swivel your foot not move it also so phone charger was Xmas present so I don’t know mate sorry On 22/03/2018 at 8:02 PM, Dal. said: The blue badges go really well with the Magnetic paint Where'd you get your nuts from? (fnar fnar!)

Jonro2009 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Are the standard lights for the RS different to the ones on the Mk3.5 STline? And if they are a different setup would they be a straight swap onto a Mk3.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
