The mini looks nice!
Blown's ST build part duex
5
So I guess I need to start my build up on here and not hide out. Yes, I'm in England. No, my ST is not an UK ST. However, it is in the process being converted to UK spec, kinda required here. This is also not my first time in a Focus. This is actually my third. I still have one and it is a '02 ZX3 fully built with turbo. If you want to see it, it is on FocalJet under my screen name (they are the same).
As far as the plan goes for the ST...... show quality with balls. Currently the car sits on stock suspension, wheels, and tires..... not for long though. Also running FSWerks tune on the APv2 supported by Cobb intake and catback. I recently received my ATP downpipe along with my EDM front grill. Still waiting on my intercooler and RMM upgrade. The reason for the EDM grill is because I have to have a front plate in the UK so why not just get the real thing. With this year tax return I will be getting KW V1s and then some special wheels which I won't say till I get them. :cool2: There will be a second set of wheel for the shows but they will be much later down the road, and no they are not fifteen52s.
Not for some of the pics.

I even have a little mini me for it too. And no one is as low as it is.

Once the weather gets better around here I will get new local pics of the ride.

How to wake up on a Saturday..... oh continue the work, that's how.
So I went ahead and got rid of that crap stock BPV and changed it out for a Turbosmart one. It's much louder and seems to respond quicker then the stock one.

Then with some DEI Ti wrap I decided to wrap the downpipe before the intercooler gets here.

After all that was done, I went and checked my mail to see if anything else came in.

EDM LED tail came in.
All I know is that Knuckles approves of these.

All installed.

Now the next project is to get the rear fogs to work, but that seems to be harder than I thought. Our cars are not wired for them already but the connectors have the ability to it. That will be something in the future to play (sooner than later).

Safety wire. Using a drill works great just be careful, tighten the wire too much and it will snap.
Here is more work from my other Focus.

So I dug into the car's harness to see if there was any hope to easily wire in the rear fogs. Hate to say it, but no. From that conclusion, these are not true global cars. The bodies might be but the wiring isn't. Here are some of the pics that i took of the connectors.
Connector to the switch

Connector to the tails. The missing wire is for the rear fogs.

With the IRS paying me now, I have ordered more parts. Now it's time to get more low.
