And don't forget, with a good old machine polisher you could spend even longer!

heard this beat a saph at the weekend?

inspiration from paul's fb post!

did look good mole

Nice to see you still got this car I'm having to break the si

It's been off the road for about 7 months now as I drive 60 miles away I had to buy a diesel

why break it? rust?

Well the gearbox had gone and it was using like 5 litres of petrol a day going back and forth to work

Instead of fixing it and selling it I thought I can get more if I break it

Shame really I loved that si

that's why there are none left

Cheers guys, glad to hear flames were on the cards And yeah apparantly a saph couldnt get any power down

The budget is on! God Its a tough few months through the show season!

Holiday, tax, insurance, service, exhaust section, Bilstein suspension, brembo brakes

Some how, I dont think so!

Onwards and upwards!

Let me know when you want the service done and I'll pop over and have Emma on her back again .....

adam you legend sort emma out better then this homo!

lowering st's is fun ade?

Top nuts?

Same as the mk5 then. Impossible by hand lol

it's the metal plate above the drivers side front leg that holds water and causes the nut to rust on

The other side wasn't much better either!! Water clearly gains access to both strut holders

fords eh

Hey all, an update long overdue, but before Ford Fair got a lot of work done on the ST, Namely new brake discs, ferodo ds2500 pads, 5.1 dot brake fluid and new exhaust section so see below





Filthy brakes, but went over them several times to clean them and gave the wheels a spruce up while they were off




After they were all cleaned up, put on 3 coats of paint and a new set of ST brake caliper badges from DMB to finish them off




Now I have driven the car hard I feel it would be a good idea to get braided brake lines and finish the suspension now, albeit if I don't lose the passion because of spiralling prices etc and want for a mortgage and other things, but anyway to finish the update

Had to wriggle the old centre section off the car with extra hands from emma was a bugger, but it came off eventually



And alongside the new section to go on, like for like replacement makes the car a bit more raspy and louder than before, its not too loud which is great!



And finally the clean wheels back on the new brakes




That's all for now folks! As said if I don't lose passion and mind set can keep on it, it should get a few more goodies
