At least I still have and drive the 535 though.
535d ->850 is a step in the other direction

Hey supergurrier I have a few bits from my old focus, you said your going for a Black and blue theme somewhere in this forum and can't remember where I saw it. I have a nice high level brake light that's Black until you brake then she's Prefect red, none of this glass paint Crap, 7 led type job.
I'll go dogging and see what I can find at the weekend, no use to me anymore.
I'll see what I find.

Not really sure how dogging will help your search but sure, what ever your into.

Shurre bring them to the next meet we are both at and I can feed ya and do my best to deafen ya. The ultimate man date

I know if I go the clothes line rs spoiler route I will almost 100% swap out for led facelift rear light clusters as otherwise it will look all wrong.

Supergurrier

Anyone here ever made a homemade cais from scratch. Only one I like the look of it is almost 500 quid and likes to suck up water. Is a guide on the St owner club I can link but it looks complex and I don't think link will work unless a member.

A friend the other day before going to the pub.

'Be down in a few, just want to grab a quick soldier.'

'Shower. :mad:'

Always pointlessly funny.

I've seen a few and never seen it done right. Are you having heat soak issues? If not I wouldn't bother

No heat issues yet as car is not mapped as yet. Just getting all my stage 3 pieces in place have exhaust system upgraded ic so this would be the next port of call.

If it was the summer I would remap away but the cold weather and the extra torque would make the clutch slip prematurely before I get an rs clutch installed.

Heat can kill the engine so its no harm as there has been a lot of people in the UK getting metal shims put around the gaps in the liners to stop them splitting/cracking. Costs a bomb to do though 700e+

Anyway will see what I can manage. Ordered some 45 degree bend silicone hoses and jubilee clips to get tinkering. Will buy an rs ECU mount when I get paid.

Wow, going balls to the wall and straight for Stage 3 huh?

Hopefully.

Wanted to like a year ago but was on an internship (lol) and as you would imagine that made it a no go.

Seeing as its such a simple platform to work with it would be a shame not to.

Honestly a standard ST feels a lot more sluggish/dead than a mk5 gti and I'm abit bored. You can bring it for a spin when its done

There's a good few on Pistonheads for around 3000 pounds but would you be bothered to go to the UK for one?
