Not trying to be a Party Pooper or anything but this is supposed to be a " What have you done to your Focus" thread so unless you have a Focus Ute you're posting in the wrong place

Been wanting to get me one of those for a while now.

Head unit needs to be upgraded first, or I ignore the USB socket and wire in the head phone jack.

Great little addition.

Had my Bilstein B8 shocks, whiteline 22mm rear sway bar, a oil and filter change and my Airtec Gen 3 intercooler fitted to my Focus today.

HOLY **** IT HANDLES LIKE A GO KART NOW!

There is literally no body roll, it just sits straight through corners.

LordFordNZ · 23-09-2013, 02:15 PM

Changed the exhaust tips...nothing else...cut the single pipe off, welded on new double tips....just a subtle little change not many people would notice, though looks good.

Finally found the Focus a loving new home

Franco Cozzo · 28-09-2013, 01:15 PM

I got a knock coming from the rear somewhere since the work was done, mechanic who did the work thinks it might be the rear sway bar links, it only happens over big bumps in the road on the rear suspension.

He said bring it back in a few weeks and he will re-tighten everything, he has marked all the bolts.

pajoda · 30-09-2013, 05:51 PM

Does that mean you will be moving to subaruforums.com.au??

Russ · 30-09-2013, 09:58 PM

Probably not, but I won't be on here as often

hnn17 · 09-10-2013, 01:56 AM

Saw these horizontal DRL, they're OEM/Fords and comes in matt and gloss black. If i get one will any dealer install them for me if i ask them ?

Russ · 09-10-2013, 09:04 AM

Being from the U.S you might want to double check that they will be compatible with the Australian Focus as their models always seem to differ slightly to ours. You could try eBay UK they will most likely have similar

As far as installation is concerned any good auto electrician should be able to fit them for you, probably a cheaper option than a dealer

I have these exact ones, but glossy. You can get any auto electrician to install it for you. We were charged $180.00

Try Aliexpress.com.
Got mine for under $100 aus delivered, installed them myself and only had to buy a change over relay because controller supplied couldn't operate them as per Austalian requirements.
Although mine are horizontal. Aliepress have many different ones.

Cheers

hnn17 · 09-10-2013, 10:50 PM

alright, got one ordered, should be here about 2 weeks.

problem i had with aliexpress is that they don't take paypal, and if i do any international money transfer to the escrow account, i get charge a fee by the bank.

by the way do you guys wave or nod to another focus lw driving by?

I certainly do!

hnn17 · 10-10-2013, 02:09 PM

once i waved, but got closer and the driver was an older lady and she ignored me, bit embarrassing.

Fast Eddie · 10-10-2013, 03:06 PM

Was time to replace the Timing Belt on my Mk1 '03 Focus. 120k after 10 years and now the Zetec is running much smoother. Cost a bomb but you get that.

gassed250 · 10-10-2013, 04:22 PM

done this yesterday

Will be replaced with a new Mirage :-)

pajoda · 02-11-2013, 08:51 PM

I did this today, bit of pain but filled in the day

aratic · 04-11-2013, 10:09 AM

How did it fit up Pajoda?

Did an interim (6 month) oil change yesterday with 5,700km on the clock. The oil came out looking pretty black, not sure I'd be too keen to go the full 12 months / 15,000km without an oil change

Had some issues, it is apparent the German builds aren't quite the same as the US version, gave feedback to Nik at Levels and he will adopt this for future international shipments. I was the first for them. Expected something with the MAP sensor from others reports but that was easily fixed. Decent product for a very competive price, it was shipped for $735US. If you aren't brand centric I would consider them a good option

Noticed the same when I had the oil changed at 7,500k's......I'll stick with oil changes every six months.....mine does very shorts trips each day which is not ideal.

interaddict · 16-11-2013, 12:15 PM

Not a whole lot, but I put some 2009 XR5 18"s onto my 2008 LX Focus Sedan and it makes the world of difference. Very affordable modification to give a significant 'sporty look' boost. Managed to get the rims AND tyres for $450 from a wreckers!

pajoda · 16-11-2013, 02:44 PM

FSWerks Cool Flo Plus went in today, couple of fiddly bits, didn't think it would be so loud

pajoda · 16-11-2013, 02:54 PM

Hope this video works

pajoda · 16-11-2013, 07:57 PM

Removed that rubber inlet thing after the first run and the damn thing is even louder now.

Transporting my youngest this afternoon and she was saying "Dad, why does your car sound like my school bus"

hazrd · 18-11-2013, 08:11 AM

Looks good mate. Where did you get it from?

Does it come with a cover by any chance? (VIC laws don't allow them to be exposed from memory)

pajoda · 18-11-2013, 08:47 PM

Fswerks unit. No cover. There are other options if you want it enclosed. Not legal in NSW either. Damn thing is loud
