If you are talking about the black lower lip - I was reading on the Focus ST forums that these are easy to do yourself and much cheaper.

Have a read before you go splashing out $200 !

Just what do these lower lips do? Are they just for looks or do they serve some other purpose?

They are 100% cosmetic.

RikBiel · 22-08-2013, 12:59 AM

Yep just a strap on

phil545 · 22-08-2013, 05:39 AM

The EZ Lip and the Triple R Composite front lip aren't exactly on the same playing field. The EZ lip is handy if ur car is low however the Triple R lip looks much better

Thanks for the link. Wasn't aware of this one but think ill stick with the TRC lip

**DJM83** · 22-08-2013, 09:21 AM

Yeah the triple r is much better IMO.

pajoda · 22-08-2013, 06:58 PM

I plunged a few dollars on an ezy lip myself just to see how it went. Certainly doesn't look as good as the TRC but TRC painted equates to 500-600 dollars. Ezy lip was 50. After install I was reasonably happy, looked OK, unfortunately 2 weeks in and was being chauffeured after a few beers, caught a speed hump and pulled a section away, stuck back on OK (for now anyway) but it is scarred and not quite the same. Pretty sure it would have been the end of a TRC too. Not sure I would do it again.

TRC is around 280 then another say 150 to paint. If I'm doing the splitter I want to do it properly

martinijosh · 22-08-2013, 07:28 PM

Splitters are generally meant to be black... Well, real ones at least.

aratic · 22-08-2013, 07:42 PM

Ill be getting mine semi gloss black

pajoda · 22-08-2013, 08:13 PM

Ok, let's say it's 430, whatever the cost be careful. A not too big speed hump cleaned mine up, glad I had a flexible one!

phil545 · 22-08-2013, 09:38 PM

Mine was $500 all up, $250 for the splitter and $250 for painted and fitted in gloss black :-)

**DJM83** · 23-08-2013, 09:22 AM

Emergency assist and update fitted no worries cannot speak highly enough of my dealer they have been nothing but awesome.

hugoti · 23-08-2013, 11:06 AM

What's the lowest you've done in terms of how much kms left in the tank as displayed on the console? Curious to know how much more I could have done (yes I know it's not a good idea to run out of fuel).

The lowest I've managed was 19 kms before I filled up but strangely I put in 53 litres - thought it was a 62 litre tank?

Ran down to single figures once, refill amount was similar to that, personally I feel comfortable with a safety margin like that.

Saw one of these on a chassis dyno today. Made the best part of 150kw at wheels. The car was 100% stock and only had 900ks on the clock. I can see these being very quick with the usual mods.

Yeah a mate had his on a few weeks back with a similar figure.

its a big difference to the 116wkw claimed by Herrod, they claim 150wkw after a custom tune !

Herrod probably had it go into limp home mode. This one had the fuse removed so it couldn't. 188kw st =150kw. A 166kw xr5 stock showed 135kw which is normal.

Why did it go into limp mode?

The ST DJM83 is referring to never went into limp mode, it certainly didn't have any fuses removed.

The performance figures both down the quarter mile (around 14.6-7 ET 94ish mph) and 0-100 of 5.9-6.5 disagree with that power output.

150wkw gets you those performance figures, not 115

Because the rear wheels aren't turning. The esp will put it in limp home mode. That's why every ome who dynos them removes the fuse.

Rear wheels weren't turning on the ST I'm referring to aswell.

There has been chatter of allowing the car once started with no throttle to run through 1st, 2nd, 3rd and onces into 4th the esp won't turn on. Whether that works I don't know.

I know this

Was more saying Herrod may have been under quoating factory figures to make the custom tune look better !

I ran a 14.6 @ 101mph in my std ST that was with heaps of wheel hop/spin
will be changing to a CP-E lower engine mount soon so should see some better ET's
