contemplated fitting the recirc back on but then postponed it as i would probably miss the noise a week later haha
Manged to kerb my passenger side front wheel, then half an hour later a really vicious sleeping policeman snuck up on me and put a 12" crack across my windscreen
painted my calipars (previous owner painted them red with a trowel and managed to seize most of the bolts ) and ive had the backbox removed ready for Dpf and delete next year . hardly noticeable noise change but seemsto lift a tad quicker
Haha it's actually really grimey, haven't been arsed to detail it in a while. Had some new SMD led bulbs turn up today, a few of my original ones had gone so replaced them all.
Changed the rear pads. i would like to meet the person that invented the twist/rotate out calliper pistons and give them a really hard slap and ask them what were they thinking?!? What a paint in the t1ts!
I have got a tool, was still a pain the the arse. Got one of these badgers, might have to invest in another. What would you recommend? http://www.pagidprofessional.co.uk/tools/2-pin-universal-caliper-wind-back-tool
Had a sport on with a ford s max after him taking off like a scolded cat. Quick chat at the lights and they do a 240bhp model, which was mapped to 270 with 320 ft lb of torque! I was a bit quicker but not that much.........
A freind of mine was a salesman at ford when these where new out in 07/08. he was taken on various training days to various tracks where he was shown how the ford products perform. And I remember him telling me that on many of the demonstrations the s-max turbo was quicker than the focus st-225. He was completely shocked, mainly at the drag race vs the focus st 225. So I can fully belive you.
Car has passed it's MOT. Had a few advisories in the Track Rod End & Drop link which have both been replaced under warranty. Also my revs were sticking slightly so they are replacing the throttle-body under warranty also.
