Got bored and swapped out my rather dim auto gauges for these nice bright ones :)

Then put a cheeky angled pipe on my air filter to get it nice and low and the direct feed to it

Yeap for now i will be using the standard manifold but a custom made 3" downpipe.. 313bhp is pretty good! I will be really happy with that number! (Remember: up to now the car was a 1.6L 105bhp.. so 3times that horsepower will be more than enough for the next 6-8 months)
 
Ran into a slightly too tall sleeping policemen ripped off the front splitter (again) and knocked the wheel alignment to hell :-(..........note to self these things sit low not like the Focus tractor I had before.
 
Had mine at r-tech yesterday. Made 240hp and 287 lbs ft. Really happy with it.

Has anyone had any problems with clutches at that power ?

I'm in the same boat, my lowered focus was happier with sleeping policemen then my standard Lcr haha scared to lower it but I must !

Brakes much better after another bleed (I went out first and braked hard enough to activate the ABS)

Door cards are still crappy, noticed that the N/S Window motor is a scrapyard part and the inner tray was bent in a few places, so previous work as been carried out there.

Drove her like I stole her today, still pulls hard in all gears and keeps me happy.
Also steam cleaned the seats to remove a couple of annoying juice stains.
 
Replaced the door seal on the passenger side, but forgot to put the plastic surround back on for the speaker. Will this cause me any problems at all?
 
Removed carbon canister, resistored the plug, blanked the feed off to the TIP and then relocated my boost feed to the throttle body!....finally! Still the SAI and Catch Can left to do when it's a bit nicer!
